But no matter what, I can't back down now.

We have to go whether we want to or not.

She's a professional, after all; she can't back down before she even starts.

Jane clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to comfort herself.

"Mr. Yu, Miller has already gotten off the plane." Xu Cheng looked at his phone.

"Okay, let's go."

After getting into the car, Jane clasped her hands together and looked out the window with some unease.

Last night, Xu Cheng sent her some information about Tianheng Group and the factory area. Jian Ailing stayed up very late, cramming for the last minute.

She has no problem with simple communication and daily interactions, but she lacks confidence when it comes to highly specialized or technical topics.

"Don't be nervous," the person next to me suddenly said. "Miller also speaks English, so we can communicate in English."

"Hmm..." Jane turned her head and met those deep amber eyes.

His gaze and tone were so resolute, giving Jian Ailing some confidence. She looked into Yu Yunting's eyes and nodded earnestly, "I'll try my best, please don't deduct my pay, okay?"

Yu Yunting smirked, amused by her reaction. "That depends on your actual performance."

Not long after arriving at the Jiangcheng factory, another van arrived. Jane Ailing could tell from Xu Cheng's demeanor that it was Miller's car.

The car stopped in front of them, and Jane Ailing felt her heart pounding.

The person who got off the bus was a middle-aged man in his forties. Although he had a serious and unsmiling appearance, Jane felt a strange sense of familiarity with him.

He looks so much like my old writing teacher!

Yu Yunting stepped forward, shook hands with Miller, and the two exchanged a few simple greetings.

Miller appeared to have an assistant behind him. Jane followed Xu Cheng forward, and the group took turns shaking hands.

"Mr. Miller, I'm Mr. Yu's assistant, and I used to study German. His translator has been sick and hospitalized these past few days, so I'll be acting as the translator for the time being," Jane Ailing said, looking at Miller.

"Hello." Miller smiled at her.

This usually stern man became somewhat more approachable when he smiled.

Jane Ailing took a deep breath and looked at Yu Yunting beside her.

He didn't speak, but just looked at her silently and nodded.

With his consent, Jane Ailing turned her gaze back to Miller. "Let me show you around Tianheng's Jiangcheng factory area first. We can talk as we walk."

Although Jane Elling's German was initially halting, she gradually became more fluent after speaking it more. With the assistant following Miller also speaking some Chinese, Jane Elling's communication with Miller and the assistant named Schneider became increasingly smooth.

Jane Ailing had memorized the factory layout map that Xu Cheng had sent her yesterday. Now, walking ahead, she took the initiative to introduce the functions of the different factory areas and some basic information to Miller.

Sometimes Miller would ask questions, and if she couldn't answer them, she would ask Yu Yunting and Xu Cheng directly, and then translate their words back to her.

Fortunately, their conversation didn't involve very in-depth or technical questions. Miller seemed to realize she wasn't a professional translator and didn't ask too many technical details.

The job wasn't as difficult as she had imagined, but Jane still felt a thin layer of sweat on her brow.

Hearing Xu Cheng say that they had found a German translator specializing in engineering who could start work tomorrow, Jian Ailing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Miller, a professional translator will be available tomorrow to help you communicate on some more technical issues." Her tone became a little more relaxed. "You can then discuss more details of the cooperation with President Yu."

"As Mr. Yu's personal assistant, I think your German is very good." Miller gave her a thumbs up.

Hearing his praise, Jane couldn't help but smile excitedly. "Thank you. I still have a lot to learn."

That evening, Xu Cheng booked a private room at a well-known local hotel. Jane Ailing sat next to Miller, introducing him to various Chinese cuisines.

Xu Cheng couldn't understand German, but he could sense that Jane Ailing and Miller were communicating quite smoothly. The two chatted from time to time and occasionally smiled. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Xu Cheng didn't know how to describe it, but he felt that Jian Ailing had been acting a little differently these past two days.

He hadn't met Mrs. Yu very often before, and each time they met was only at Mr. Yu's home in Yun Song Bay. At home, Jian Ailing didn't seem to talk much; at most, she would smile at him, and her eyes would occasionally reveal a hint of timidity and avoidance.

I never expected her to be so serious and dedicated to her work. She spoke fluently and confidently with her partners in German, and she seemed to become more energetic and charismatic.

That's right. Looking at her timid appearance before, Xu Cheng almost forgot that Mrs. Yu was a ruthless character back then.

If she hadn't had those kinds of methods, how could she have ended up in the position of Mrs. Yu?

She appears innocent and naive, but perhaps this is just a facade she deliberately projects.

Xu Cheng ordered two bottles of red wine, and the waiter poured wine for everyone at the table.

"You don't have to drink if you can't," Yu Yunting said as he watched Jian Ailing pick up her glass.

"It's okay, I'm happy that work went smoothly today." After saying that, she picked up her wine glass and took a big gulp.

After all, she only worked one day and earned so much money. Plus, by the end of the day, she had become familiar with Miller and was no longer shy or insecure about her spoken English.

Anyway, it's almost time to get off work, so it shouldn't be a problem to indulge a little, right?

Unexpectedly, this one drink led to what appears to be an accidental overdrinking.

After dinner, Jane tried to stand up, but she was surprised to find herself walking unsteadily.

Getting drunk at a business dinner like this is so inappropriate! Jian Ailing tried her best to stay sober. When leaving the private room, Jian Ailing followed behind Yu Yunting, silently holding onto his arm to steady herself.

Yu Yunting didn't turn around, but simply slowed his pace.

Only after the three of them watched Miller's car leave did Jane Eyling finally lose her composure and almost fall over.

"Didn't I tell you not to drink so much?" Yu Yunting pulled the person close, his tone full of disgust and helplessness. "That bottle of red wine has a very high alcohol content; it's not something you can handle."

"Even though I was drunk, Miller couldn't tell." Jane leaned against him and didn't bother to stand up. "I didn't mess up in the end, so you can't deduct money from my pay just because I was drunk."

Yu Yunting turned his gaze away, too lazy to respond to her anymore.

This Mrs. Yu is such a money-grubber; even in her drunken state, she hasn't forgotten that sum of money.

Xu Cheng watched helplessly from the side.

Is the boss the kind of stingy person who wouldn't even spend a penny on his wife?

It doesn't look like it at all.

That makes sense, though. Wasn't Mrs. Yu going to such lengths to marry Mr. Yu just for his money?

Such a love of money is understandable.
