Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character
Chapter 63 The Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction
The school has some volunteer activities.
To boost her courage, Ji Chaoxi often signs up for events. Recently, she signed up for an activity to organize past Canton Fair materials.
She was the one who asked Su Manzhen about this activity, because there were so many activities and she didn't know which one to choose.
"I think you should choose volunteer activities related to the Canton Fair or foreign trade, because if you perform well, you can get practical experience later."
Qi Zhenzhen lay on the bed and poked her head out: "Ji Chaoxi, why don't you choose the Canton Fair? Shanghai International Studies University will send students to the Canton Fair to work as temporary translators. My mom is from Guangdong, so I'll take you there."
"Don't just bury yourself in your work, okay? Sometimes the teacher will suddenly test you, and there will be some mock lessons. Prepare carefully, and the teacher will definitely remember you."
Ji Chaoxi listened attentively, and she obediently prepared according to what Su Manzhen and Qi Zhenzhen had said.
Sure enough, during the volunteer activities, the teacher suddenly began simulating business negotiations with foreign businessmen and some unexpected situations involving foreign affairs.
While other students were still struggling to answer the questions, Ji Chaoxi stepped forward and gave a very professional and fluent answer.
The teacher suddenly became curious about her: "Does someone in your family work in foreign trade?"
Ji Chaoxi shook her head, her throat a little tight: "No, teacher, I'm very interested in foreign trade, so I know a little about it."
The teacher nodded thoughtfully.
Ji Chaoxi looked at her teacher, her heart pounding.
If the teacher asks a few more questions, she might not be able to answer them. She had prepared for the question beforehand, but too much time had passed, and she only remembered a few points.
Fortunately, the teacher didn't ask any more questions and just let them continue working.
But unexpectedly, the school started recruiting temporary translation volunteers for the Canton Fair the following month.
These are resources that Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) secured, mainly for the purpose of training its students.
As soon as the school sent the message, Qi Zhenzhen immediately started urging, "Ji Chaoxi, hurry up and register! I want to go to Guangzhou with you."
When Ji Chaoxi arrived at the registration desk, the teacher in charge was the same teacher who had conducted their volunteer activity last time.
The teacher saw her and smiled, "I knew you would come to sign up. I just ran into your oral English teacher, and she said your oral English is very good too."
The teacher next to Ji Chaoxi also looked at her: "What year is this student in?"
The volunteer teacher handed her the form: "You're a freshman, these young people are really something."
Before long, the office was packed with students who came to register.
"Have you been to Guangzhou?" the volunteer teacher asked Ji Chaoxi.
Ji Chaoxi shook her head shyly: "I haven't been there yet."
The teacher's eyes crinkled into a smile, but she didn't say anything. The teacher next to her chuckled and said, "Isn't this perfect? If you get selected this time, you can go to Guangzhou for a trip."
Ji Chaoxi didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment.
She's sure she'll be chosen; that's the information they gave her.
She has received a lot of this kind of information since she was a child, both small and large.
From the small things like adults giving her more candy than other children, to the big things like how her older sister only hugged her and left when there were so many children in the family, and now...
She glanced back as she left the office; the teacher was still smiling, but the smile was different from before.
Ji Chaoxi liked this feeling; it was what she deserved, after all the hard work she had put in.
The day finally arrived for my trip to Guangzhou.
It was still an unfamiliar city, but Ji Chaoxi was no longer afraid.
The happiest person on this trip was not Ji Chaoxi, but Qi Zhenzhen.
"It's already very hot in Guangzhou, so we can wear skirts together then."
"Did you bring enough money? I want to pick out some clothes for you. If you didn't, I'll pay for them for you."
"Ji Chaoxi, why aren't you excited at all? You're such an idiot!"
The teacher sitting opposite her smiled and said, "Qi Zhenzhen, I heard that someone in your family is in foreign trade. Why didn't you come to register this time?"
Qi Zhenzhen shook her head: "I don't want to do this kind of hard work, it's too tiring."
If you're going to do something, just do business.
They soon arrived in Guangzhou, where the teachers and students were placed in two-person rooms at the designated foreign affairs reception point of the Canton Fair.
The conditions were already very good, but Qi Zhenzhen still felt that the school was stingy. She wanted to take Ji Chaoxi home to live with her, but the teacher stopped her.
The next day, Ji Chaoxi and her classmates followed their teacher to the hall of the Canton Fair. There were many volunteers, and it was clear that many of them were students.
Despite being mentally prepared, Ji Chaoxi couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she was in the center of the high-ceilinged central hall.
The surrounding area was filled with incomprehensible speeches, broken English and French, and the air was thick with the smells of cigars and perfumes. Thousands of booths were scattered around, and everyone looked excited.
In a corner exhibition area, a British businessman was talking excitedly, shaking his head repeatedly, his face flushed red.
The booth owner, speaking with a heavy accent, loudly explained, "Ship! Big boat!"
The boss even made a gesture resembling a ship.
The British merchant was even angrier: "It's not about the ship! It's the sheep!"
Seeing that the boss was still gesturing, he got so angry that he had trouble breathing and picked up his bag to leave.
Ji Chaoxi listened for a while and roughly understood what was going on. She quickly went over and said, "Excuse me, sir. Are you talking about the raw material, the wool?"
The Englishman nodded quickly, as if he had seen a lifeline; he was being tormented by this man to the point of madness.
Ji Chaoxi said to the boss, "Boss, he wasn't talking about the ship, he was talking about the sheep. He meant that the wool in your tapestries isn't pure enough, not about the shipping date."
The boss suddenly realized and laughed, "I knew he was talking about something over there."
"Young man, could you please tell him that I can take him to the sample room on the second floor? They'll definitely have the purity he's looking for there."
Ji Chaoxi translated the boss's words to the Englishman, who thanked Ji Chaoxi and then followed the boss to the sample room.
The Canton Fair lasted a long time, so Ji Chaoxi didn't have time to play with Qi Zhenzhen. She had to stay in the exhibition hall during the day and memorize those professional terms when she got back at night.
The task was too heavy, and Ji Chaoxi went from being excited at the beginning to becoming more and more tired later.
Fortunately, the school didn't exploit them too much and sent a second batch of students, so Ji Chaoxi and the others could still have a day or two of fun in Guangzhou.
Upon hearing this news, Qi Zhenzhen immediately had Ji Chaoxi move into her house, determined to make sure she had a great time in the next couple of days.
