"Wanshi Expo?" Mint raised his eyebrows slightly. This is a popular event known to everyone in Xihai City recently. She naturally knew that there was a citizen participating in the exhibition area where anyone could participate. There was no limit on literature, art, technology, etc. As long as it was a novel and creative invention, you could sign up for the selection. If you chose it, you can not only participate in the exhibition, but also get a bonus.

"Yeah!" An An nodded with certainty, "Mom, I think my word memory method is very innovative. I have drawn pictures of each word and sent it to the organizing committee first. If they are interested, I will ask them to publish it into a picture album. Then I will take the book to the exhibition. Not only will I get a bonus, but I can also earn another royalty, killing two birds with one stone! After making money, you won't have to work so hard anymore, and do so many jobs by yourself."

Mint is very touched when his son is so considerate, but he is also very sad. "An An, making money is the adult's business. You are still young, and your mother can support you!"

"But I am a man, and it is also a matter of men raising women!"

"Who said? Men and women are equal!"

"No, it's natural for men to raise women!" An An stubborn opinion.

Mint looked at his son's righteous expression, as if he saw Guan Shouheng back then, who was worthy of being a father and son, and he insisted on the same things in his heart.

"But An An is still young, she is just a little boy now, not a big man yet!"

"I'm almost ten years old, not young anymore!" An An clenched his fists and showed his manly strength.

Mint was so amused and cried that he stopped refuting, "Okay, if you want to participate, you can participate, but you can't just go for money. Mom thinks that your creativity is good. Even if you can't successfully participate in the exhibition, you can introduce this learning method to other students in the future. It would be nice to try to promote it first."

"It must be good!" An An was very confident, "Mom, think about it, foreign language cram schools are so hot now, it can be seen that everyone is willing to spend money to learn foreign languages, so I will definitely have a market selling point. I am confident that I will succeed!"

Mint couldn't help but tap his head, "Don't be too confident!"

"Where do I have it? I'm doing market analysis with you! Mom, do you know why I draw these cartoon pictures?"

"Why?"

"Because cartoon pictures are attractive to those children! My learning method is specifically aimed at the student family. As long as the students like it, the parents will pay for it, just like when my mother buys something for me, without any mercy!"

Mint was dumbfounded. I didn’t expect that An An actually has business talent!

But, what are those children? How old is he? He is also a child!

"Okay, okay, you are the most reasonable! Mom wishes you success first, but An An, don't be too hard. It's very tiring to draw so many pictures, you have to pay attention to your health! If you are exhausted, your mother will be sad, do you know?"

"I know, I will pay attention to the combination of work and rest."

"What combination of work and rest? You should be more cute and don't be quainted with words!" Mint couldn't help complaining. It's not good for his son to be too talented, and he is not cute at a young age!

"Okay, mom, it's very late, you go to bed early too!" An An quickly changed the subject.

Mint took a look at the time and it was almost 12 o'clock, "Okay, you go to bed early, don't stay up late secretly!"

She had caught An An before, and she was actually using a small flashlight in the middle of the night, secretly reading books in the quilt, feeling sorry for her.

"Well, mom, don't work too hard."

Mint's heart felt warm again, "Mom has you, no matter how hard you work, you won't be afraid."

"..." An An said she was powerless. Why was her mother so stubborn? He just didn't want her to work too hard!

Forget it, women like to show off, mother is like this, Aunt Wu is the same, but Wu You is right. It doesn’t need to say too much to women, just act directly!

"Good night Mom." He quickly climbed onto the single bed and prepared to "sleep" first. The picture for tonight has not been finished yet, so he will stay up late later.

"Good night." Mint turned off the light for his son and turned around and left.

After leaving the small bedroom, she went to the kitchen to continue eating noodles. After talking for a long time, the noodles were already a little cold, but she still found it very delicious.

While eating noodles, she thought about a question about the "Wanshi Expo".

First, after the opening of the expo, the number of foreigners in Xihai will increase rapidly, especially foreign tourists, so the business of the travel agency will become better and she will have more opportunities to make money.

Second, she heard that the expo organizing committee issued an announcement saying that she planned to recruit some social personnel, mainly to be foreign languages, and to be the information coordinator of the venue to help foreigners and foreign tourists who came to the exhibition to better communicate with the locals.

So, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and maybe she should try it too.

Although she does not have a high degree of education, her speaking language has always been good. Even if she cannot apply for a senior position, it is still more than enough to provide guidance and explanations in the venue.

Although this is not a long-term and stable job, the fair will be held for several months, and the salary will be much better than other jobs outside.

Today she just lost a job and was worried about where to find another one. She hadn't thought of this problem yet, but after An'an said it, she remembered that there is no way out, and no matter what, she should try it.

Yes, I'll apply for a job tomorrow!

After making up his mind, Mint quickly finished the noodles, washed it briefly, and went back to his room.

There was originally only one bedroom in the attic, but she later separated it from the middle, with An An alone. In this way, she would not disturb her son's sleep when she worked at night.

The room was not big, but it became smaller after being separated. She gave An An a sleep on the side of the window. There was no window in her room, whether it was day or night, the lights had to be turned on after entering the door.

The biggest piece of furniture in the room was the bed, or the wedding bed they had back then. After years of hardship, it was already very old, but despite this, she kept asleep.

But every night when she lies on it, she will toss and turn, subconsciously looking to the other side, but she can no longer see the familiar figure or touch the warm embrace.

When An An was young, she took her son to sleep with her. When An An grew up a little and had her own room, she changed the other half of the bed into a work area. Because the room was too small and there was no way to put the desk, she made a small folding table and put it on the bed as a desk. Anyway, it was a waste for her to sleep alone in a double bed, and in this way, she would not feel too empty when she went to bed at night.

The small table was filled with books, most of which were left by Guan Shouheng back then. This was really a very valuable asset. Over the years, she had read all these books and learned a lot from them, which benefited her a lot.

In the past ten years, she has never been to school or studied. What she relies on is these books. She did not learn systematically and learned a lot, but helped her a lot. For example, she learned some very small languages, and then with this advantage, she successfully found a lot of jobs and supported An An.

Sometimes she thought it was quite ironic. Guan Shouheng was penniless back then, but the house he left behind and everything in the house gave her and An An a last resort. Without these, the mother and son would not know where to go, and it would definitely be even more miserable.

But because of this, she knew more about how deeply she hurt him back then. When she hugged An An and had nowhere to go and could only return here, the moment she pushed the door open, she burst into tears.

He took nothing away, he left in despair.

Not only him is desperate? She will feel sad when she lives here. Everything in the family is like the past, but things change. When faced with the walls on all sides of the house, she will think of the happiness they were here, especially when they got married, when they were really happy that time. When they thought about it later, their hearts would tremble.

Of course, she would also remember the quarrels they had here back then, but as time goes by, with personnel changes, and as mentality becomes more and more mature, the unpleasantness and contradictions gradually become blurred and so insignificant.

The reality is indeed the case. No matter how much love or resentment was, it didn't matter anymore. Their lives had long gone, and he only had hatred for her, and she looked at him and became out of reach.

She didn't know why he returned to China, nor how long he would stay. She only knew that he was no longer the poor Guan Guan Suheng of the past. He is now the leading translator at the international conference, the elite among the elites, arrogant and have everything.

In the box of "Haidu", it may be because everyone saw something wrong between them, so they were reserved in their words. Therefore, she did not hear what he was going to do when he came back this time, but the characters at the same table with him should not be underestimated, which indirectly reflects how extraordinary his current value is.

She was sincerely happy for him, and he finally succeeded.

And she also wants to keep working hard for An An!

Mint cleaned up his thoughts, turned on the computer, and prepared to write a job resume.

The computer is still ten years ago, and it cannot be as old as it is. No wonder An An is so "disgusted" it, but she has no spare money to buy new ones now. When An An really needs a computer, she will buy it for him.

It was really slow, and it took several minutes to turn on the computer. When it was turned on, she caught a glimpse of the small potted plant next to the computer and felt very warm.

An An gave her a pot of small cactus. Because there was no window in her room and the air was not good, An An always made some flowers and plants for her from time to time, and they were all oxygen-extruding plants.

For An An, she must work hard!

***

The next day, Mint got up early. After washing up, she specially changed into a professional outfit. She rarely wore this outfit because none of her current jobs were in the office, but she had to apply for a job today and dressed more formally.

Although the style of the clothes is very ordinary, the overall style is still very new. The effect is pretty good, and the hair is also squinted to create a capable image. She also put on light makeup on purpose. Although the whole set of cosmetics is not as valuable as her previous lipstick, she has no choice.

She didn't go out to buy vegetables or make breakfast because her capable son was hundreds of times better than her in this regard. It would be better if she didn't do it, but it would cause trouble if she did it, so she only left some change.

"An An, mom is going out. You go downstairs to buy something to eat later. I'll put the change here."

"Okay, mom, you must remember to have breakfast too."

"Mom knows, I'll eat it on the way. But you, don't be lazy, you must take a better meal, remember to take medicine after taking it."

"Um."

After Mint explained to her son a few words, she went out with the key. When she walked to the door, her steps suddenly paused, and she thought of something, and then turned back, "An An, if a stranger comes knocking on the door, you must not open it, do you know?"

An An blinked her eyes and thought about who the so-called stranger was.

After three seconds of silence, he nodded and said, "I understand."

Mint was relieved. Maybe she was thinking too much, and Guan Shouheng shouldn't come back. For him, this place was just an embarrassing memory. How could he come back?

Go out, wait for the bus, and squeeze in the bus as usual.

An hour and a half later, she came to the exhibition center. Ten years ago, her grandmother held an art exhibition here. Ten years later, she became more and more magnificent, but she became humble and small. Ten years ago, she and Guan Shouheng were quarreling violently here, and then her stomach began to hurt, and then she learned about the accident about her father, and then...

Stop thinking about these things that are not there anymore!

She ordered herself not to think about it anymore. What she is thinking about now is how to perform well later and let the interviewer accept her.

Her resume is not at all advantage or even disadvantage, so she must perform well in the interview so that she can get the job.

Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her emotions and stepped into the building.

Soon after, the "Wanshi Expo" will be held here. Now the entire exhibition center is no longer open to the public. The venue is being built. At the same time, the external recruitment work is also being carried out here, just on a special floor, and you have to go to the side door next to it.

She followed the sign and walked all the way to the designated floor, but as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she was shocked.

Almost all the floors were covered, and they were crowded!

Mint's heart suddenly fell into anxiety. There were so many people and the competition was too fierce, so she might not have any chance.

However, many people here don't seem to come here just for work.

The women beside him whispered—

"Hey, have you heard that? The leader of the high-summit will come here today!"

"Of course I heard about it, and I also heard about insider news! It is said that a new translator came from the High Translator. He came back from abroad. He was very young and handsome!"

"Yes! My cousin's sister-in-law's brother and sister are responsible for sending newspapers in the High-Spread Bureau. She said that the bureau had already received news and said that the person would report in the next two days!"
