Chapter 244

"how's it going? Is the equipment working as usual?" Yang Guo asked in a low voice.

"No problem, the video is very clear!" Zheng Yujie's assistant, the glasses girl, made an OK gesture.

"What about her? Did you find anything unusual?" Yang Guo asked.

"No, just stay quietly in the crib and play with toys, just watch TV occasionally." Glasses sister said seriously.

Zheng Yujie took Yang Guo's mobile phone and said to the front camera, "then Qiqi will be handed over to you. Take good care of it. Don't have any problems!"

"Yes, boss!" Glasses sister said positively.

Turning off FaceTime, Yang Guo breathed a sigh of relief and sat in the rented car, feeling a little relieved.

Are they going out to see Yang today? Martel, Qiqi can't follow, and Yang Guo is a little worried about Qiqi, who has just recovered from a serious illness. He made several video calls back all the way.

This time, the glasses girl was asked to stay in the hotel to look after Qiqi, but Yang Guo knew that according to Qiqi's character, he couldn't see himself and was sure to cry constantly, so as early as in China, he recorded a video for more than three hours and broadcast it on the hotel's large screen TV, which would give Qiqi the illusion that her father was still around.

He didn't know whether this method was effective, because the last time he used it was half a year ago. Now Qiqi has grown up a lot and is smarter. Whether he can fool the past is still unknown.

However, according to the report of the glasses girl, Qiqi still likes this trick. Being able to play with her toys quietly shows that she is in a good mood. Even forcing her to drink bitter Chinese medicine in the morning has not left a shadow in her heart.

Yang? Martel gave a speech at a middle school in Queens in the morning, and promised to spend two hours to meet them in the afternoon. Foreigners always regard punctuality as as as as important as life, so Yang Guo and them can't be late.

Half an hour in advance, Yang Guo and them had arrived at the school. The place of meeting was a small office borrowed by the school. After getting permission, Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie walked in. Yang Guo walked behind, holding a briefcase in his hand and helping to close the door, just like a deputy secretary. In fact, this is just a habit left by Yang Guo when he used to work in a foreign trade company.

Yang? Martel is a typical middle-aged man who looks like a Western bookworm. His figure and cheeks are very thin, his eyes are very narrow, giving people a feeling of depression. He is wearing a long sleeved light blue shirt with vertical lines, and his sleeves are rolled up. Yang Guo noticed this detail, and secretly sighed with relief: "you guessed right, this young Martel is a man who does more work than talk!"

"Hello!" Yang? Martel didn't pretend to pose, but stood up from behind the table and shook hands with Yang Guo and them.

Yang? Martel is a large French Ghanaian, but because his father is a diplomat and lived abroad in his childhood, his English accent is very strange. Yang Guo doesn't think it's like the big Ghanaian English accent he has heard.

The main negotiator is not Yang Guo, but Zheng Yujie. It's not that Zheng Yujie wants to compete for the limelight, but that she wants to follow Yang? Martel is going to introduce the strength of Dongxin publishing house to Yang? Martello lists the benefits and reasons for choosing them.

Zheng Yujie's spoken English is still OK. After all, she has studied in the United States for four years. Her words may be slightly flawed, but she speaks fluently, her voice is comfortable, and she doesn't have a strange Chinglish accent.

When Zheng Yujie said, Yang Guo was watching Yang? Mattel's expression, he found that, as he had expected, what Zheng Yujie said did not play a big role.

Sure enough, after listening to Zheng Yujie patiently, Yang? Mattel shook his head and said, "Dongxin publishing house does have a high position and market share in China, but as far as I know, the China Yilin publishing house I used to choose is not bad in publishing foreign language books. They can't make my books sell well. I have no reason to believe that you can do better."

Zheng Yujie thinks she can still work hard. She analyzes the differences between Dongxin publishing house and Yilin publishing house from many angles.

But Yang? Mattel waved his hand and said, "needless to say, I can see all these from the information you gave me before, but it's not enough for me to give you my book. If there's no better reason, I think we'll meet here today."

Zheng Yujie turned her head and looked at Yang Guo. Yang Guo knew that it was his turn to play!

"Mr. Jan Martel, instead of keeping your book unknown in China, why not try another publishing house?" Yang Guo stood up and followed Yang who was about to get up and leave? Martel shouted.

Yang? Mattel hesitated for a moment, stopped, looked at Yang Guo suspiciously, and said, "excuse me, are you? Sorry, I should remember correctly, this Miss Zheng didn't introduce you just now."

"Yang Guo, you can also call my English name Leon. If you give the book to our publishing house, then I will be the translator of this book." Yang Guo confidently follows Yang? Martel said.

"Mr. Leon, you look a little young!" Yang? When Martel said this, the expression on his face was not contemptuous, but showed an interest.

"Youth is not a factor that negates a person's strength, is it?" Yang Guo said with a smile, "as in your book, young PI can fight against tigers in the Pacific at a young age. I think you also agree with this view in your mind."

"Oh! You're right." Yang? Martel smiled and said, "then I can give you a chance to convince me."

If there is a chance to speak, there is hope of success! Yang Guo stepped forward and put the briefcase on Yang? Matt sat on the table in front of him and said with a smile, "in fact, I haven't completely introduced myself. I'm a translator. Of course, I've just entered the profession. As for why I have confidence to sit in front of you?"

Yang Guo paused and then said, "that's because at the end of last year, as the main translator, I translated the book biography of jobs, and this book also happened to be the best-selling book of last year. Its sales performance has surpassed other imported foreign language books in just more than two months."

Yang Guo said it bluntly. If he were in China, someone might pat the table and say that Yang Guo was too arrogant! But this is the communication habit of Westerners. They don't like others to talk in a secretive way and make many detours.

Especially for those who pay more attention to practical results? For Mattel, such a way of talking makes him feel more comfortable.
