Ren Zhouyuan, with a red face, pretended to be calm while holding the manuscript. Standing less than half a meter away from Leonid, Ren Zhouyuan smelled the cologne mixed with the smell of cigars on Leonid's body. His mind was in a mess.

The words in front of him were clearly typed out by himself, but now they had become strange hieroglyphics. Even the Chinese characters that he had always been proud of seemed a little strange.

The silence was a little awkward. He forced himself to calm down, but his hand holding the manuscript couldn't help but tremble.

Suddenly, a big hand covered Ren Zhouyuan's hand. He was stunned for a moment, and the shock in his heart was greater than the nervousness. He looked up at the owner of the hand.

"Don't be nervous, I won't eat people," the owner of the hand said.

Such a simple sentence, but it evoked many memories in Ren Zhouyuan. Five years ago, the same person said the same thing to him.

"Don't be nervous, I won't eat people."

Leonid said to Ren Zhouyuan, who was embarrassed, "You must be the translator that Mr. Meng mentioned?"

Ren Zhouyuan cursed the fat man thousands of times in his heart. He had never seen anyone who would put a girlfriend before a friend to the extent that the fat man did.

The fat man's name was Meng Tian. Hearing Leonid's words, Ren Zhouyuan nodded and replied with an awkward smile, "I'm sorry, he has something to do, so he might be late."

"Okay," Leonid replied, and then there was another silence.

Ren Zhouyuan didn't know if all Russians were so cold, but as a traditional Chinese, he couldn't refuse to smile at people he met for the first time. So Ren Zhouyuan became a professional smile seller that night, but the person he was selling to didn't give him much face. Instead, it was a bit like looking at a monkey laughing foolishly.

Ren Zhouyuan thought that since he was here to help the fat man, as long as he could get the sponsorship, it would be good enough. So he decided to be a good person to the end. He didn't care when the fat man would come, and he took the initiative to receive Leonid.

That night, Ren Zhouyuan had seen for himself that the Russians were not happy without alcohol.

Ren Zhouyuan didn't know what Leonid liked to eat, so he ordered a table of dishes according to his taste. When all the dishes were served, before Ren Zhouyuan could say "please enjoy", Leonid raised his hand and said to Ren Zhouyuan, "Which is the strongest wine in China?"

Ren Zhouyuan paused for a moment. He didn't drink, so he didn't know what kind of wine was the strongest. In the end, he had no choice but to call the owner over and order a bottle of the strongest wine in the store according to Leonid's request.

Ren Zhouyuan cursed silently in his heart. It would be better if the bear didn't fall. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to carry such a big bear back.

Who would have thought that he would be the one to fall in the end?

As soon as the wine was served, Leonid drank a few mouthfuls like drinking plain water. When Ren Zhouyuan was stunned, he put the empty cup back on the table with a bang, curled his lips and muttered, "Tasteless."

Ren Zhouyuan swallowed his saliva. Leonid reluctantly asked him to serve two more bottles. Seeing how Leonid drank, Ren Zhouyuan wanted to try to see if the wine was really as tasteless as he said.

Seeing Leonid drinking the wine with one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of wine, Ren Zhouyuan ordered a small bottle for himself when he asked the owner to serve the wine for the third time.

When the wine was served, Ren Zhouyuan looked at Leonid and saw him raise his eyebrows. He immediately lowered his head and fiddled with the bottles of wine.

Ren Zhouyuan's ears turned red. He was a little embarrassed that he was exposed. He simply ignored the person sitting opposite him and opened his own bottle of wine.

However, the moment Ren Zhouyuan put the wine in his mouth, he wanted to curse. How was it tasteless? It was extremely tasty!

It was full of the taste of alcohol. He wasn't drinking at all, he was pouring alcohol into himself!

He wanted to spit it out, but when he saw Leonid's expression, he endured the burning pain in his trachea and swallowed it down. He choked and coughed violently.

But Leonid was amused by Ren Zhouyuan's reaction. A smile finally appeared on his expressionless face. He gave Ren Zhouyuan a thumbs up, patted him on the back, and poured a little more into his cup.

Ren Zhouyuan's last memory was Leonid's contemptuous face. He was forced to drink a belly full of alcohol. What happened after that was just like those old TV dramas. He messed up after drinking and had a baby. The only difference was that he was much more capable than those people. As a man, he gave birth to a beautiful mixed-race child.

Thinking of the past, Ren Zhouyuan unexpectedly calmed down. The big palm on the back of his hand had already been withdrawn, but the warmth of the palm still remained on the back of his hand. Just like those stupid things that happened in the past, even if they left, the traces of their existence would not be easily erased.

Ren Zhouyuan's hand stopped shaking, and he could concentrate. The memory of writing slowly came back, and after a while, he was back in the right state of mind.

"STEM was the first idea put forward by European and American countries, but later they added A, the category of art, and it became steam. After entering China, some scholars put A at the front, and it became a model."

Ren Zhouyuan organized his thoughts in his mind while explaining his ideas to Leonid. "China has a long history, and they often write articles about traditional culture. If we want to enter the China market, I don't think we can unilaterally copy European and American ideas, but we should use this point of view as an entry point …"

At the beginning, Ren Zhouyuan was a little stuttering, but the more in-depth the analysis, the more focused he was on his paper. His words became sharp, and he was very confident in the content of his research. During this period, Leonid raised two questions, and he refuted them with various arguments.

Once he talked about his professional field, Ren Zhouyuan's eyes lit up. Coupled with the faint blush on his cheeks that hadn't completely dissipated, he was so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off him.

But Ren Zhouyuan was so focused on talking that he didn't notice that Leonid was also looking at him attentively. However, Na Tasha saw it, and she was very jealous.

Leonid's father and Na Tasha's parents were good friends. She and Leonid grew up together.

Although she was also Russian, and she was as strong and strong as ordinary Russians, she was slim and had an outstanding appearance. Since she was a child, she had no shortage of suitors.

But she didn't know whether it was because she was blind or she was just a bitch, but Na Tasha didn't care about those so-called suitors. She only liked this man who was as cold as ice. She felt that a man like Leonid was a real man.

When Na Tasha heard that her parents had arranged a blind date for her, she was very angry. But when she heard that the other party was Leonid, her attitude changed 180 degrees. Even if Leonid later told her that they were just a disguised "political marriage," she was still full of joy.

But since when did the indifferent Leonid look at a person so attentively and seriously like this?

Even if it was because of work, Na Tasha felt that she couldn't stand it!

She listened to Ren Zhouyuan's words in Russian that didn't sound salty to her, and she felt annoyed. She walked towards the two people in her high heels. She just happened to hear Ren Zhouyuan say, "If you want to enter the China market, you can't enter the Chinese market the same way you enter other countries. You have to adjust to the tastes of the Chinese people." Na Tasha took the opportunity to ridicule him, "Oh?

So we Russians are the ones who pay for it, but we have to listen to you Chinese people?

They don't even think about who is behind the money, who is their moneymaker. "

Ren Zhouyuan's words were interrupted. Hearing her words in an unfriendly tone, he immediately frowned. When he was about to refute, he heard Leonid say, "We borrow other people's land to do business. What's wrong with catering to other people's practices?"

Na Tasha was stunned, and so was Ren Zhouyuan. In his impression, the man in front of him was a representative of arrogance. Just like when they first met, no matter how many good words Ren Zhouyuan said about China's culture, this man said, "What's the point of it?"

Now, if these words came from someone else's mouth, he might believe it, but when it came from Leonid's mouth, it was a little unbelievable.

Na Tasha didn't seem to expect that Leonid would slap her in the face like this. Her face turned red, and she stared at Leonid and Ren Zhouyuan for a long time. Then she turned around and left the room. Before she left, she didn't forget to slam the door, and the hanging pictures on the wall almost fell down.

"Continue."

Leonid wasn't affected by Na Tasha's tantrum at all. He seemed to be relieved, and his eyes signaled Ren Zhouyuan to continue his script.

Today, Ren Zhouyuan felt that the whole world was a fantasy. He didn't expect that Leonid would have a fiancée, and he didn't expect that Leonid would be a little different from the person in his impression. He also didn't expect that he would talk so much in front of this person.

In the case that this man didn't recognize him, maybe he could try not to hide in the armor he built, and take one step after another, and not be bound by the past.

But thinking about this, Ren Zhouyuan inexplicably felt a little sad.
