Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Her Strength 5

"Sister Lin never told us that her mysterious colleague was this beautiful and young!" Sister Lin’s newly appointed leader, Wang Juan, walked over and directly pinched He Zhilan’s cheek. It must be said, Sister Lin truly knows how to pick a leader just like her in temperament.

Having met a circle of new colleagues, after Sister Lin left, she recruited four others besides Wang Juan—two men and two women, namely Li Qian, Zhang Zhongzheng, Chen Cui, and Fan Guiling. Everyone’s age varied, with Chen Cui being the oldest, and only Li Qian being about the same age as He Zhilan, hence he called He Zhilan ’little kid’.

Sister Lin established the head office of the translation agency in the capital, mainly assisting the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, often requiring travelling. High demands were placed on each individual’s social skills, wisdom, and appearance, while other simpler document translation tasks were all handled by Wang Juan and her team at the local translation agency.

Despite the varying ages of colleagues in the translation agency, there was no conflict of interest, and they all got along exceptionally well. In one afternoon, He Zhilan became acquainted with everyone, and by the time He Teng came to pick her up, she didn’t even realize it was already five in the afternoon.

Seeing He Teng, He Zhilan wasn’t in a rush to leave. She pulled He Teng into the office, introduced him as her husband to her colleagues, and then followed He Teng back to the military base.

"Do you need to be at the translation agency early tomorrow morning?" He Teng asked while driving.

He Zhilan nodded, fiddling with her gloves, which were part of a set that included a scarf and hat, all bought by Lin Chan’s mother.

He Teng glanced at He Zhilan and said nothing more, obviously aware that He Zhilan couldn’t sit idle and that being at work, interacting with people, and being distracted was good for her.

That evening after returning home, He Zhilan was in high spirits, pushed He Teng out of the kitchen, and took over preparing dinner completely on her own.

"Brother, you’ve taken care of me for so long. Come on, taste my cooking! This dish is something I learned from Sister Chen Cui. When she mentioned how her son loves this dish, I asked a few more questions. I’ve already tasted it in the kitchen—it’s really delicious!" He Zhilan boasted shamelessly about her cooking, "I never realized before, but now I suddenly see that my cooking skills are a unique talent. Sister Chen Cui only mentioned a few details, and I remembered them all and cooked it up! I’ll have to show off at Sister Chen Cui’s place first thing tomorrow morning!"

Looking at the red chili peppers, He Teng indeed felt tempted to try, but he reminded He Zhilan to eat less spicy food.

During this period, He Teng had been eating with He Zhilan every day, focusing on mild and nourishing food. Truly, his taste buds were almost bland as freshwater fish now.

"Zhilan, at noon, you said that I’ve always been like what you’ve learned..." He Teng suddenly spoke halfway through the meal.

Upon hearing this, He Zhilan’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if He Teng was about to settle scores after the fall.

"Did that old way of mine really annoy you?"

"Not at all," He Zhilan answered without hesitation. "Brother, don’t overthink it; I just found it interesting to learn. Apart from your cold attitude towards me and driving me out of the military base, I don’t dislike anything about you!"

He Teng gave He Zhilan a skeptical look, somewhat unable to grasp the sincerity in her immediate response.
