Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1184 How can two hedgehogs hug each other?

Imanda nodded in understanding, but her little face began to feel hot.

her room...

According to the room assignment list, it is right opposite Confucius Qian.

Restraining her excitement about the new dormitory, after taking a quick look at it, Imanda took Kong Ziqian out and walked towards the school gate.

Actually, there is nothing much to see. The layout is the same as Confucius Qian's room.

What made Imanta feel emotional was that after 20 years in this world, she finally had a room that belonged entirely to her.

Although it is only the right to use, and this right is estimated to be only for one year.

But it was enough to make her happy. After all, she graduated a year later.

When they reached the parking lot, Kong Ziqian suddenly stopped and said, "I drove here, so I can take you home. You should also go back to pack, right?"

Imanda was stunned for a moment and said, "No need, I can walk back by myself."

Kong Ziqian insisted, "It's just on the way. Don't be polite. It's really on the way. I'm going back to the city center."

From previous conversations, he knew that the girl in front of him lived in the "urban-rural fringe" between the school and the city, about 5 kilometers away, and it took her about an hour to walk back and forth every day.

Imanda couldn't refuse, so she had to follow Kong Ziqian to the parking lot.

However, when she heard the "jiujiu" sounds and the headlights of the brand new Land Rover Defender turned on, the faint smile on Imanda's lips disappeared in an instant.

On a sunny afternoon, Kong Ziqian drove Imanda home with soft music playing in the car.

In the car, Imanda became silent and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Kong Ziqian was concentrating on driving, occasionally turning his head to glance at her, feeling a little uneasy.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Imanda glanced out the window from time to time, as if she was thinking about something.

She felt that Kong Ziqian was lying to her.

She really doesn't understand cars.

But she knew this car.

The price is around 20 to 30 US dollars.

The second chief of their country was criticized and condemned for rampant corruption, bribery, and tax evasion during his term, and one of the evidences was this car.

Such a luxurious car...

According to normal logic, how could the company provide such a car for a commissioned employee? !
This only shows that Kong Ziqian's identity is extraordinary.

Definitely not a potential rookie in any company.

And if he goes to such great lengths to pretend to be ordinary in front of me, he must have some other intentions towards me.

Imanda, knowing that her appearance was popular among others, knew exactly why.

The good impression I had of Kong Ziqian suddenly disappeared.

Kong Ziqian noticed Imanda's silence and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Imanda shook her head and said softly, "It's okay, just a little tired."

Kong Ziqian just didn't want to fall in love before.

In other words, he was very clear that with his appearance and unrealized potential, he would not be able to find his ideal partner.

He is definitely not a silly straight man.

He had a rough idea of ​​the reason why Senior Sister Imanda's mood was visibly depressed.

"Imanda, do you want Qingyun's autograph?
In fact, he and I are very familiar with each other. We have been roommates since we entered college as freshmen.

If you want a signed photo, I can get it."

Kong Xiaopang, who was often trained by the cheap boss, agreed with his point of view.

If there is any misunderstanding between men and women, it must be explained immediately and must not be left overnight.

Especially before you catch up with her.

You can never imagine how weird a woman's thoughts are when she becomes emotional.

The example of how things and people have changed after one night of the Cold War is too common on college campuses.

But Kong Ziqian also knew very well that explanations were fine, but men must never kneel.

Only a fool would point out the problem.

Saying it so casually can be considered an explanation, but it won't give the woman the feeling that it's being explained specifically for her, making her feel superior.

As he expected, Imanda next to him turned around instantly and stared at him with her beautiful eyes, "Really? Are you really his roommate?"

Kong Ziqian shrugged his shoulders, took out his cell phone and fumbled to open the photo album while driving, found a group photo of the four roommates and handed it over.

Imanda covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of disbelief.

It seems that what the fat guy just said was true, he is indeed the roommate of Mr. Yanhuang Xiaoqing.

This is the only way to explain why a sophomore undergraduate can enjoy such good treatment at Dada.

In her mind, her evaluation of Kong Ziqian's potential immediately rose several levels.

Otherwise, that Xiao Qing would not have cultivated him so deliberately. Being just roommates is definitely not enough.

But after returning the phone, Imanda became even more silent.

As a future executive of the Yanhuang Group, with Kong Ziqian's status, he would be qualified even if he asked the daughter of some ministers of the Tan country to be his study partner...

But he chose her based on his first impression.

Imanda was suddenly confused.

Such a person has taken a fancy to me...

This is by no means a lucky thing.

Mixed-race children are indeed good-looking, but they are all college students, and they know very well that just like hybrid rice, genetic problems will appear after two generations.

So, this is why mixed-race children are not welcomed.

The more prominent Kong Ziqian's status was, the more impossible it was for him and himself to meet.

but……

Can I escape from the clutches of this little fat guy?

The heat in the fat boy's eyes when he looked at her made her heart tremble.

"What do you like to do in your daily life?" Kong Ziqian asked casually, trying to break the silence.

Imanda forced a smile, then she forced herself to answer, "I like reading, especially books about history and culture. What about you?"

The reality left her with no way out and she could only try her best to protect herself in the process.

Kong Ziqian thought for a moment and said, "I like sports, especially basketball. I also read books when I have free time, but they are mostly about economics and management."

Imanda nodded in understanding.

She knew Kong Ziqian was a management trainee at Yanhuang Group and was not surprised by his work and interests.

But that fat...

It was hard for her to believe what Confucius Qian said about liking sports.

However, from Kong Ziqian's gait, we can actually see that he is a very flexible fat man.

Maybe... just overnutrition?
Or is it just to establish a healthy personality in front of yourself and win favor?

Imanda, with her mind in a mess, fell silent again.

The deafening silence left Kong Xiaopang puzzled.

But there is nothing to do.

For him who has no experience in love, this kind of question is obviously beyond the scope.

But he also felt it didn't matter.

It is the hunting psychology caused by the loneliness in a foreign country that is at work.

It would be great if something could happen with this beautiful black pearl that he liked.

cannot……

It's a bit of a pity, but it's not something to be grieved about.

Besides, he didn't believe what the cheap boss said about the 'golden 72 hours to chase girls'.

It’s just the first time we’ve been together, there’s still a long way to go.

……

Enjoying the refreshing drink of white tea and living an unhurried and ordinary life, Kong Ziqian commutes between school and company every day.

Not that he enjoyed studying at the University of Dar es Salaam; in fact, he barely attended classes.

Because his semester wouldn't start for another few weeks.

The reason why he refused to eat in the company cafeteria and had to go back to school to eat pig food was that there was a beautiful black pearl as his neighbor here.

The campus of the University of Dar es Salaam is not big, but the environment is very pleasant.

The campus is shaded by green trees and lush flowers and plants. Walking on the paths in the campus, you can always smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

Kong Ziqian likes the tranquility here, and he likes the time with Imanda even more. Imanda would help him learn Swahili starting from dinner every day.

Imanda spoke Swahili fluently, and her voice was clear and pleasant, which fascinated Confucius. He followed her to learn, and from the initial unfamiliarity to the gradual proficiency, he found that he had developed a strong interest in the language.

And Imanta always taught him diligently and never got tired of it.

In addition to learning the language, Imanda would also take Kong Ziqian for a walk around the campus to help him digest his food and explain the pronunciation and grammar of Swahili.

Or just hang out around the school.

They have been to a market near the campus that has a variety of snacks and handicrafts.

Imanta would introduce him to local specialties, such as ugali, made from cornmeal and vegetables, and grilled meat wrapped in banana leaves.

After tasting it, Confucius found the taste very unique and unforgettable.

This feeling made him feel like going home every day when he returned to school after get off work.

They also visited a park near the campus, which has a large meadow and a lake.

Imanda would sit on the grass and tell Kong Ziqian some stories about Tanzania, such as legends about wild animals and the customs of local tribes.

Confucius listened with great interest and he developed a strong interest in the culture of this country.

The time spent with Imanda every day made Kong Ziqian feel very fulfilled.

He felt that he was not just here to work, but rather to experience a completely new lifestyle.

And Imanda's existence makes his life more colorful.

This weekend, Kong Ziqian returned to school early. After finishing the daily oral practice after dinner, Imanda hurriedly said goodbye, saying that she had an appointment with someone else.

This made Kong Ziqian, who had mustered up the courage to ask her out to see a movie, suddenly feel a little discouraged.

Imanda explained that she was going to be a tutor.

Kong Ziqian, who didn't want to separate, offered to give her a ride, but Imanta couldn't resist him and had to get in his car.

In the car, neither of them spoke much and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Imanda tried her best not to have any relationship with Kong Ziqian other than that of a study partner.

Although I would accompany him every night, I was only fulfilling the responsibilities of a study partner and helping Kong Ziqian integrate into campus life in a foreign country.

And the fat boy's disappointment after hearing her say that he had an appointment in the evening, and his act of sending her off at this moment, made her feel a little uneasy.

There have been some rumors in the school, and several of her good friends are asking her when she will introduce her Chinese boyfriend to them.

There was no way; she couldn't hide the fact that she had moved into the expert's apartment.

Although it is ridiculous, the fact is that everyone thought she was living with Kong Ziqian.

Imanda had no way to defend herself from this, because no one else could enter the expert's apartment, so she had no way to clarify.

Besides, she didn't want to clarify anything.

Life is not easy for a woman, especially a beautiful girl who is looked down upon or even discriminated against by her own ethnic group because of her mixed blood.

Even as a tutor, the salary she received was lower than the normal price.

Because parents would worry that she would lead their children astray.

Now that she is a study partner of a Chinese, although people point fingers at her behind her back and make assumptions about her dirty deeds, objectively speaking, no one in the school dares to look down on her openly.

In Tanzania, the Chinese who can live in the expert apartments are the Tianlong people of this country.

But Imanda still didn't want to go beyond the relationship of study partners or even friends with Kong Ziqian.

Because she has her ideals to pursue.

In fact, she didn't want to explain to Kong Ziqian that she was tutoring at night and wait for him to have random thoughts at night.

Just looking at the visibly frustrated and unhappy face of the little fat Chinese boy, Imanda couldn't bear it and told him what happened.

From their daily communication, she was very clear that Kong Ziqian, like her, was still a novice in love.

She didn't want to hurt him.

But as soon as she said that, she felt a little regretful when she saw the fat boy's quickly full of energy.

It felt like I was fishing for him.

Glancing at Imanda's absent-minded expression, Kong Ziqian thought she was thinking about her tutoring job in a while.

To be honest, Kong Xiaopang is feeling a little disappointed. He originally thought that he could spend more time with Imanda on the weekend, but he didn't expect that she would have to go out to work.

After the car drove for a distance, Kong Ziqian finally couldn't help but speak,

"Imanda, besides tutoring, do you have any other job?"

From his understanding, he felt that college students could not raise enough money for tuition and living expenses by tutoring.

In China, college students who go out to tutor can only supplement their family income, but it is difficult to make up enough money to pay for their living expenses.

This is only possible if you treat serious studying as a part-time job and devote your time to it.

Imanda, who was still in a trance, was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "No, tutoring is my main source of income."

She then explained a few more words, saying that her current job was mainly as a tutor on weekends.

Unlike China, in Tanzania, where the illiteracy rate exceeds 27%, less than 3% of the population has completed college education or above.

For a student like her who is studying at the country's top university, she can earn much more as a tutor than washing dishes in a restaurant or doing odd jobs in a garment factory.

Kong Ziqian understood that under such circumstances, the income from tutoring as a college student with a certain qualification was indeed considerable.

But Imanda still needs to spend all her weekends on it.

This is what Kong Ziqian did not want to see.

No matter how things develop in the future, at least at this moment, he felt unhappy that he couldn't see Imanda on the weekend.

After thinking for a while, Fat Kong tilted his head and looked at Imanda during the interval between traffic lights, "Imanda, are you interested in working part-time in our company?

I can recommend you that our company's branch in Tanzania needs some part-time clerks.

You speak fluent Swahili and good Chinese. You can help us with some external communication work, which will be very beneficial to our work in Tanzania.

You are a Swahili major, so translation work is suitable for your major and will also be helpful for your future employment.

This will not only improve your language skills, but also provide you with certain financial support, allowing you to focus more on your studies.

Moreover, it will give you a better understanding of our business.

I think that Yanhuang Group is definitely a good job opportunity among foreign-funded enterprises in Tanzania, especially for you and your profession.

I think this is a great opportunity and I hope you will consider it.”

He knew Imanda's financial situation and knew that she couldn't make ends meet without working.

But if you give her money directly or find an excuse to ask her to be your tutor, she is a girl with a strong self-esteem and it is impossible for her to accept this kind of charity.

Although recruiting Imanda into the company was also a form of help, it was a more tactful approach and the most acceptable way he could think of for Imanda.

As he expected, Imanda hesitated when she heard this.

Kong Ziqian didn't rush her and drove forward following the green light.

After a while, Imanda bit her lip and finally couldn't help but asked softly,
"Um... Kong Ziqian... How much does this part-time job pay?"

Looking at the rearview mirror outside the car, her eyes were full of anxiety and nervousness, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes.

She knew that Kong Ziqian was actually helping her in various ways, or in other words, creating time and space for her to be with him.

However, when people are poor, they have low aspirations.

And she was also moved by what Kong Ziqian said.

This part-time job is really helpful to her.

It can not only solve economic problems, but also improve her professional ability and increase her practical experience.

A very good part-time job.

However, she was not sure about the salary of this part-time job and whether it could really alleviate her financial pressure.

Kong Ziqian quickly calculated in his mind and suddenly remembered something. He did not say it directly, but called Bai Le in front of Imanda.

"Brother Bai, there is such a situation..."

Kong Ziqian talked about Imanda's situation and thought that it was better to use someone familiar than a new one, so his study partner was very suitable and asked Bai Le if it was feasible.

Bai Le on the other end of the phone is also a shrewd person.

He knew very well that, with Kong Ziqian's current level, there was no need to tell him about hiring an assistant, as Kong Ziqian could make the decision himself.

Even if he needed to ask for instructions or report, he would talk to Zhu Zhaojiang, the head of the African company, not him.

So obviously... he guessed that this Imanda must be a beauty.

Bai Le on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. While envying the college students, he quoted a price of 720 RMB per month.

"720 RMB per month?"

Kong Ziqian frowned and complained, "Isn't this salary too low? Brother Bai, it's too much. The company's minimum salary is more than this!"

In his heart, ten thousand horses were galloping.

He felt that Bai Le was a little bit stupid. He called Bai Le just to see if he could understand...
