After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

After the three of them sat down in the private room, Gu Xiao asked the manager to watch over the serving of dishes.

"Comrade Lu, I never expected you could cook. You're so versatile!"

Shen Lu smiled politely in response to the compliments.

"I really enjoy cooking, I'll make some for you to try sometime."

Shen Lu was just being polite. In her opinion, Commander Gu had no reason to come to her house for a meal.

"Comrade Lu, you are both elegant in public and skilled in the kitchen. Whoever marries you is truly blessed."

"Actually, I already..."

Just as Shen Lu was about to say that she was married, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a waiter came in to serve the dishes, interrupting her.

Shen Lu didn't really want to reveal her family situation, and since she was interrupted, she didn't continue to elaborate.

The group moved on from the topic.

*

Nine o'clock the next day.

And the third day at nine o'clock.

Gu Xiao's car was waiting for her in the same spot.

Aside from the busy formal meeting on the second day, Shen Lu's tasks over the past three days have not been particularly demanding.

As a translator, the daily pay is one thousand dollars.

Shen Lu earned this money with ease.

The third day was the end of the meeting. After Commander Gu finished discussing the matters with his colleagues, they could leave.

Quite a few people came today, and Gu Xiao was chatting with the president of the Economic Association.

Shen Lu stood to the side, feeling slightly bored.

At this moment, the adjutant approached.

"Actually, there was another very important reason for Commander Gu's attendance at this meeting, but it seems unlikely now."

Since the other party had already spoken, Shen Lu went along with it and continued to ask questions.

"What is it?"

"Our country has a relatively developed light industry, but Russia's heavy industry is not developed. The core mission of this delegation leader is to promote economic and trade relations between the two countries and export a large amount of our country's light industry to Russia."

Shen Lu nodded to indicate that she understood.

"Why is this mutually beneficial deal falling through?"

The adjutant shook his head: "Other countries are also eyeing Russia, this juicy piece of meat. They originally wanted to use the fact that Director Gu is a classmate of the Russian Minister of Finance to get closer to him."

"Unexpectedly, the Russian Finance Minister did not show up, so we couldn't even meet him. The good thing is that other countries didn't have a chance either."

As Shen Lu drank the water in his hand, he pondered deeply, realizing that this matter was indeed very beneficial to the country.

But since the time wasn't right, they had to give up.

She was willing but unable to do so, and national affairs were not something he could easily interfere with.

As she was drinking water, she heard a loud shout from behind.

"Hello, Miss Lu."

Shen Lu had gotten used to being called "Lu" these past few days, so she subconsciously turned around.

She saw a tall, deep-set foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes striding towards her.

Shen Lu thought the other person had mistaken her for someone else and didn't show much expression until the other person stopped right in front of her.

Shen Lu completely ignored the surprised expression on the face of her adjutant beside her.

The man walked straight up to Shen Lu, extended his hand, and looked excited.

"Ms. Lu, it's an honor to meet you. I'm one of your readers."

Shen Lu could clearly sense that his Chinese was more fluent than that of other foreigners.

Shen Lu couldn't recall for a moment whether the original owner had published any works.

While she was completely bewildered.

The man began to introduce himself.

"Hello, I am Alexander. I have read your translation of 'How the Steel Was Tempered'. That article is amazing. The beautiful words and touching sentences throughout the article have captivated me and I cannot extricate myself from it."

So I made a special trip to the Translation Institute, hoping to have a long talk with you, but the director told me that you were here for an event.

I found this place based on the photo in yesterday's newspaper he showed me, and I recognized you.

Alexander was clearly a Chinese enthusiast; he spoke fluently and used a great many idioms.

That's why he likes Shen Lu.

The commotion they made attracted quite a few onlookers.

Upon discovering that the visitor was the Russian Minister of Finance, everyone was eager to approach and speak with him.

However, they discovered that the Russian Finance Minister did not give them the slightest chance; instead, all his attention was focused on the woman in front of him, Miss Deer.

Shen Lu used a pen name when translating, which was her real name.

However, Alexander, being a foreigner, instinctively referred to Shen Lu as her surname, using the character "Lu" after her name.

Thank you for your appreciation.

Shen Lu was unaware of the other person's identity; it was the Russian Minister of Finance that her adjutant had just mentioned to her.

However, Shen Lu was still very polite to her loyal fans.

Gu Xiao, who was not far away, saw this scene and a hint of something unreadable flashed in his eyes.

In just a few days, this woman brought him many different insights.

Gu Xiao had never met such an outstanding woman.

This Comrade Lu is so outstanding that he feels it's a waste of his talent to have him working at the Translation Institute.

Even though he had the task of facilitating foreign trade between the two countries, Gu Xiao did not rush forward to interrupt their conversation, but waited quietly not far away.

Alexander and Shen Lu had a very pleasant conversation, and even after the meeting ended, Alexander was still enjoying himself and seemed reluctant to leave.

Miss Lu can not only translate English classics, but she also understands Russian, and the two of them can communicate in Russian without any difficulty.

Alexander's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Miss Lu, would you do me the honor of continuing our conversation? My residence has a Russian chef I brought with me who can prepare the most flavorful and distinctive Russian cuisine. I would like to share it with you."

Although Shen Lu and Alexander got along very well, she still wanted to finish as soon as possible and go home to be with her two children.

"Excuse me..." Just as Shen Lu was about to refuse, Gu Xiao stepped forward and interrupted her.

"Hello, Mr. Alexander, do you remember me? We studied together at military academy..."

Alexander clearly still remembered Gu Xiao, and the two kept in touch enthusiastically.

The adjutant pulled Shen Lu aside.

"Miss Lu, you are really amazing. You even know the Russian Minister of Finance. Do you know how many people have tried so hard to see him but still couldn't?"

Shen Luhao was slightly shocked. It turned out that Alexander was the Russian Finance Minister they had mentioned in their previous conversation.

"If trade between the two countries can be facilitated, it will bring a large number of jobs to our country and provide stable income for countless families, so..."

The adjutant paused appropriately and looked at Shen Lu.

Shen Lu knew exactly what this meant.

She had no reason not to do things that were beneficial to the country.

Besides, I really got along very well with Alexander just now, so continuing wouldn't be a bad idea.

Alexander was amazed that the three of them knew each other.

"Fate is so ingenious."

Alexander then invited the three to his mansion to enjoy a meal and discuss Chinese.
