Chapter 45 Xinhua Library

Although Su Nuannuan had explained that she was fine, Chu Mingxia still took her back to the girls' dormitory.

"Mingxia, aren't you going back to your dorm?"

Even though their time together was short, Su Nuannuan really liked Chu Mingxia's personality and was happy to befriend this kind older sister. Before long, the two became good friends. Chu Mingxia was two years older than Su Nuannuan, so Su Nuannuan called her "Sister Mingxia."

"My home is not far from the school, so I don't live on campus."

"It's almost dinnertime. Mingxia, you should go home now."

Su Nuannuan realized it was already 5 p.m., so she urged the other person to go home quickly.

Chu Mingxia knew that if she got back late, her mother definitely wouldn't leave her any food. Therefore, after dropping Su Nuannuan off at her dormitory, she quickly ran away.

Watching the hurried figure disappear into the distance, Su Nuannuan chuckled.

When Su Nuannuan returned to her dormitory, she found Zhou Menglu, Sun Xiuhua, and Hong Xiu there.

Hong Xiu sat opposite the two women, looking at the foreign language book in her hands. Sitting opposite her were Zhou Menglu and her follower Sun Xiuhua, with whom they had had a disagreement that morning.

Although Hong Xiu was reading, her attention was always on Zhou Menglu. Seeing Su Nuannuan return, Hong Xiu's tense heart instantly relaxed.

Zhou Menglu also saw Su Nuannuan, but only glanced at her before continuing to look in the mirror.

Another woman, Sun Xiuhua, was very professional, folding clothes for Zhou Menglu. How did Su Nuannuan know that the clothes Sun Xiuhua was holding belonged to Zhou Menglu?
Because Zhou Menglu was the only one in the dormitory who wore such a gorgeous and difficult-to-maintain dress.

It must have been something Aunt Hua said to Zhou Menglu. Although Zhou Menglu's attitude was still bad, she didn't try to throw money at them to make them her followers like she did in the morning.

Su Nuannuan felt that it was good that Zhou Menglu ignored them, as it saved her a lot of trouble.

"Ah Xiu, what book are you reading?"

It is a book of Russian essays.

Hong Xiu opened the book in her hand for Su Nuannuan to see. Su Nuannuan felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the tadpole-like characters. This was during the time of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, and learning Russian was very popular in the country. Even the college entrance examination (Gaokao) allowed students to choose Russian as their foreign language subject.

Su Nuannuan felt relieved; thankfully, the foreign language exam was optional. After all, she only knew English and had never studied Russian.

"Ah Xiu, do you like Russian?"

Although China and Russia are still establishing diplomatic relations, Su Nuannuan knows that the diplomatic relations between the two countries will break down soon, and that some foreign language books in China will be destroyed in a few years.

If Hong Xiuquan truly liked Russian culture, he could easily be reported in the future.

However, contrary to Su Nuannuan's expectations, Hong Xiu disliked Russian at all.

When Su Nuannuan asked her if she liked Russian, Hong Xiu shook her head in disgust.

"Nuan Nuan, I don't like Russian at all."

Seeing the genuine expression on Hong Xiu's face, Su Nuannuan was even more surprised.

"Then why do you still read Russian books?"

Hong Xiu's major is clinical medicine, but she's reading a Russian essay book, which has nothing to do with her major. Therefore, Su Nuannuan is even more confused.

Hong Xiu trusted Su Nuannuan and told her everything without hiding anything.

"I did this to earn money. I took on the translation assignment at the library."

Su Nuannuan knew that Hong Xiu's family wasn't well-off, so it wasn't surprising that she wanted to earn money through translation. What interested her was how much money one could earn from translation these days.

The two spoke in hushed tones, unheard by Zhou Menglu and Sun Xiuhua on the other side. Seeing that she wasn't disturbing them, Su Nuannuan continued, "Xiu, I also want to earn money through translation. Could you tell me more about it?"

Hong Xiu was happy to oblige. When she was taking on translation work, the library staff even asked her to introduce him to students from the university, but none of them were interested. Seeing that Su Nuannuan wanted to earn money through translation, Hong Xiu naturally agreed.

"If you want to earn money through translation, you first need to get a translation certificate. I got my certificate at the Xinhua Library. Every month I go there to get some materials, translate them, and then return them. The staff will settle the payment on the spot. The book I'm holding is the translation material I received this month."

After saying that, he waved the book in his hand.

Do they need an English translator?

Su Nuannuan only knows English as a foreign language, and she is a little worried about whether Xinhua Library needs an English translator.

Hong Xiu's eyes lit up when she heard Su Nuannuan's words.

"Yes, of course we need it. Nowadays, many people are learning Russian, and there are very few people who know English. Many English materials in the Xinhua Library are not translated."

Su Nuannuan was overjoyed upon hearing Hong Xiu's words.

It wasn't that she particularly desired the job, but rather that she needed a job so that she would have an excuse to send money home or spend money on things.

Su Nuannuan wasn't worried at all about not getting her translation certificate. Seriously, with her years of studying abroad in her previous life, plus the TOEFL and IELTS certificates stored in her spatial storage, Su Nuannuan could say her English was as good as her native language.

After making up her mind, Su Nuannuan asked a few more questions and then asked Hong Xiu to take her to the Xinhua Library to try it out the next day.

Although Zhou Menglu was looking in the mirror, her eyes kept glancing at Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu. Seeing the two talking in hushed tones, Zhou Menglu assumed they were talking behind her back and frowned.

With a bang, he slammed the mirror on the table, glaring at Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu.

Zhou Menglu's sudden movement startled the three of them, and they all looked at her.

Sun Xiuhua waited for Zhou Menglu to give her some instructions. Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu, on the other hand, were confused as to what kind of temper this young lady was throwing this time.

Seeing that Zhou Menglu was just staring at them without saying a word, Su Nuannuan squeezed Hong Xiu's hand, signaling her to ignore her.

Hong Xiu received a signal from Su Nuannuan and nodded.

It's not that they isolated Zhou Menglu; it's just that they have different values ​​and can't work together.

The prerequisite for being friends with Zhou Menglu is that you must flatter her and always act inferior to her. We're all experiencing life for the first time, so why should we indulge each other?

Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu continued doing their own thing, ignoring Zhou Menglu.

Zhou Menglu was deeply offended by this disregard and instinctively wanted to throw a tantrum. However, she remembered what Aunt Hua had said: if she caused trouble at school, her father would send her back to England.

The anger that had been rising instantly subsided.

Zhou Menglu's face was contorted with anger that she couldn't vent.

Sun Xiuhua stood by like an observer, showing no reaction unless called upon. She also simply watched quietly as Zhou Menglu became angry.

After Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu finished their conversation, the two took their washbasins to the bathhouse next door to take a shower.

The girls' shower room is inside the dormitory building; just turn left after going downstairs. When Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu arrived, quite a few students were already carrying basins in.

However, Su Nuannuan did not expect that the bathhouse at Beijing University would be a place where many people would shower together in one room.

Seeing the expanse of white before her, Su Nuannuan was so frightened that she backed away. Neither in her past life nor in the Su family had Su Nuannuan ever bathed with anyone else.

To Su Nuannuan's surprise, the shy and timid Hong Xiu walked in naturally and even told her that she would get used to it.
