Chapter 109 German Translation

  The next morning, Du Ming got up very early. Yun Cai estimated that she was tired from the previous day and slept until the sun was high in the sky before waking up.

  Yun Cai got out of bed, tidied up for a while and said to Du Ming, "Last time I said I was going to Le'an to discuss business, but we encountered an unexpected situation and didn't make it. I explained the situation to them, and they said they were willing to arrange another meeting."

  "The planes have all fallen into the sea, how can we go?"

  Yun Cai rolled her eyes, "Take a plane then. You pack your things today and we'll go to Le'an again tomorrow."

  Du Ming nodded and accompanied Yun Cai and Bai Mei Gui to the airport again the next day.

  This time, there was no private plane privilege, but as Yun Cai's identity, taking a commercial flight was also VIP treatment. Accompanied by Du Ming and Bai Mei Gui, they boarded the plane first and soon arrived in Le An City.

  Yun Cai's partner this time is the Fein Group, a German-invested company. The CEO of its China branch is also a German national named Julian Scher.

  Three people checked into a hotel that had been booked in advance and quickly rushed to the Fein Group, where they told the receptionist and were immediately politely asked to wait for a while in the waiting room.

  After a while, a beautiful female secretary walked into the reception room and politely said to the three people, "Is it President Yun? Our president would like you to go to the conference room to discuss this matter with him in detail."

  Yun Cai nodded and stood up, "Alright, I'm delighted to meet Mr. Xie."

  The secretary led three people out of the reception room, winding their way to the conference room, pushed open the door, and Julian Shai was sitting behind the large table.

  Yurian has the standard appearance of a European, with white skin, green eyes, and golden hair. Even sitting down, his tall stature is evident.

  Yuncai saw Yulian walking quickly up, and Yulian also stood up.

  "Hello, Mr. Shel, my name is Yún Cǎi, I am the chairman of Yuè Mèng Group. I have come specifically to discuss a potential collaboration between our two companies. It's a pleasure to meet you."

  As he spoke, Yun Cai stretched out his hand to shake hands with Yuri An, but unexpectedly, Yuri An, who had been looking polite and courteous, revealed an unhappy expression after hearing Yun Cai's words. He raised his head haughtily and didn't even bother to extend his hand to shake hands with Yun Cai.

  Yun Cai was stunned, unsure of what she had done to offend him, her hand suspended in mid-air, uncertain of what to do next.

  The secretary beside him hastily said, "This, Chairman Yun, our CEO doesn't speak English and as a German, he requires everyone who discusses business with him to speak in German or bring a German translator."

  Yun Cai was somewhat at a loss, "But, but didn't he have his own interpreter?"

  The secretary said somewhat awkwardly, "Our CEO thinks that knowing he is German and speaking German or bringing a German translator is a basic respect for him. If there isn't even this basic attitude, the intention to do business must be insincere."

  Yun Cai was anxious about this matter, and no one had told her in advance. She didn't know German herself, so where could she find a German translator?

  Yun Cai asked the secretary, "Miss Secretary, you are Mr. Xie's secretary, you must speak German, can you temporarily act as a translator for us?"

  The secretary shook his head apologetically, "Sorry to say, I told you that our CEO requires anyone who comes to see him must speak German themselves or bring their own interpreter. If not, it's considered a lack of sincerity. So even if I'm willing to interpret for you, our CEO won't talk to you."

  Yuncai was completely stunned. He had never thought that the business negotiation he had prepared for so long would be ruined because of a language problem, and his life had almost been lost in the process.

  At this time, Du Ming, who had been standing behind Yun Cai, suddenly walked forward and stood beside Yun Cai. In fluent German, he said to Yulian, "Hello, Mr. Scher, this is Yun Cai, the chairman of our Moon Dream Group. He has come specifically to discuss cooperation between our two companies. It's a pleasure to meet you."

  Yun Cai doesn't understand German and didn't know that Du Ming was speaking in German, only knowing that he stood up and said a string of words she couldn't understand to Yuri, after which Yuri's expression suddenly changed from gloomy to sunny, revealing a satisfied smile, and even stretched out his hand to Yun Cai.

  Yun Cai looked at Du Ming for a moment, then stretched out her hand again and shook hands with Yuri.

  Du Mingchong smiled and blinked his eyes, saying in Chinese, "Why didn't you say this earlier? I'm actually Miss Yuncai's German translator. She brought me here specifically for that purpose. If you had said something earlier, I would have translated for President Yun just now."

  Yun Cai Xin said, "When did Du Ming learn German and become his own translator?" But since Du Ming seemed to really know German and had helped him out of the situation, he naturally continued to smile.

  "Julian said in German, 'The Moon Dream Group has also conducted investigations. I think this is a group with great development prospects. This cooperation is something I'm really looking forward to. Please, Miss Yun, have a seat and let's discuss the details.'"

  Du Ming translated the sentence for Yun Cai, and Yun Cai sat down according to Yulian's indication.

  With Du Ming's translation, the conversation went smoothly with Yun Cai's negotiation level. However, Yulian was a very picky person and although he was relatively polite to Yun Cai, he always had an arrogant attitude, and the two sides were unable to reach a consensus.

  Du Ming noticed Yulian's pickiness, and when the conversation between the two temporarily came to an end, he suddenly said in German, "Mr. Schell, I followed Yun Zong into your group building and thought it was beautifully decorated, isn't it Renaissance style?"

  "Yulian's eyes widened in surprise, 'Oh? You also understand architectural styles?'"

  Du Ming smiled and said, "I roughly understand a bit. The style of this building, from its architectural style to its decoration design, is simple and light. I also saw many simple lines of pointed arches, which are very typical of German style, with a slightly more classical Renaissance style."

  Yulian nodded in approval, "You still know a lot! And you're so familiar with German architectural style?"

  Du Ming smiled and said, "I used to live in Germany for a pretty long time, so I have some understanding of various German cultures."

  Yulian's eyes lit up, "No wonder, I said your German is so standard, and you even know many colloquialisms that only we Germans know. Where did you live in Germany?"

  Du Ming replied, "I've spent most of my time in Bremen, and also stayed in Hamburg and Munich for a while. Judging from your accent, you're from Bremen, aren't you?"
