Autumn Yu'an

Chapter 9 South Africa

Early the next morning, the driver took Lin Yu'an to pick up the luggage.

It was too late last night, Lin Yu'an was hungry and tired, with a cold face, not very happy, so the driver didn't dare to talk to her.

Seeing Lin Yu'an in a good mood in the morning, the black driver chatted with her.

If you don't speak, you will be fine. When you speak, the driver's mouth is really poor, and Lin Yu'an is so funny.

He also joked that all the men here are sharks,

And a girl like Lin Yu'an is a goldenfish, which makes Lin Yu'an shake his head while laughing.

When I arrived at the airport early in the morning, I found that my luggage had arrived, and it was left alone in the corner.

It should be the last flight from Joburg to Cape Town last night.

The driver took Lin Yuan to buy a phone card with her passport at the airport, and took her to KFC for breakfast.

The driver expressed helplessness and said with a smile that every time he took the Chinese out to play, they would eat KFC.

"Chinese people must love KFC very much," the black driver came to such a conclusion.

"That's because there is no Chinese food," Lin Yu'an laughed, no one wants to try local food.

The driver drove her to the supermarket to buy all the daily necessities.

"MissLin," the black driver confessed,

"If you need anything, call me and I'll drive you there, don't go out alone."

"It's not safe, girl, you're outside alone," the black driver repeatedly explained.

Lin Yu'an looked outside, and there were indeed very few girls walking outside alone.

After returning to the dormitory, I can take a good look at the House during the day.

The surrounding walls are two meters high, and there are electric grids on them, making crackling sounds and shining blue light from time to time.

Almost every household in South Africa has a 2-meter-high wall.

Some people have broken glass on the wall,

Some of the walls are covered with power grids, which probably act as a deterrent, and there is no sound of electric current buzzing.

Only the company's house can hear that the power grid is actually turned on.

A palm tree was planted in front of the door, and when the big iron gate was pushed open, a lush mulberry tree grew in the corner, occupying a lot of land.

According to the driver, the administration wanted to cut down the tree and build an open-air restaurant, but the landlord did not agree.

On the left is the garage, and on the right is the security guard's lounge. Two tall black security guards are chatting with guns hanging.

Standing in the middle is a three-story building.

It has a white wall and a red roof, with a heavy iron gate, which is separated from the security room and will be locked at night.

On the first floor is the kitchen on the left and the dining room on the right.

There are two large freezers, which are full of purchased ingredients,

There are a few boxes of pure water piled up in the corner, and tap water is not boiled for drinking in Africa.

Regular drivers will bring boxes of purified water from supermarkets.

After all, I don't worry about water purification treatment. Lin Yu'an once heard that,

In the Ganges River in India, there are garbage, cow dung, and even the rotting body of cows.

Thinking about it, the water was really dirty.

In comparison, South Africa only has a shortage of fresh water resources, and relatively few polluted ones.

There are 3 rooms on the second floor, except the innermost one is slightly bigger,

There is not much space for the 1.5-meter beds and cabinets in the other two rooms.

On the third floor, the two innermost rooms were connected.

There is a curved balcony outside with a small table and chairs,

Behind the building is a swimming pool with flowers and plants planted beside it.

Lin Yu'an lives in the biggest room, and no one lives in this building anyway.

The situation in South Africa now is incomparable to what it was a year ago.

There were quite a lot of people at that time, until after something happened, people withdrew to the country.

On Monday, Lin Yuan met with the local staff and administration.

The local employee Jack is a white South African uncle, 1 meters tall, chubby, with a big belly.

The administrator is of Chinese descent, named Sabrina, who married a South African boy and settled in South Africa.

Seeing Lin Yu'an's young age, Uncle Jack looked down upon her a bit.

Unlike his tall body, Uncle Jack speaks in a soft voice and loves to chatter.

He was worried that Lin Yu'an would not do well, and before going to see the client, he would give him a lot of advice, fearing that she would make a mistake.

The driver took Lin Yu'an and Jack to the client's office.

Lin Yu'an was sitting in the front row holding her computer bag, and the driver asked her to put the computer bag in the trunk of the car.

Lin Yu'an was puzzled, the driver said that the law and order was not good, if someone saw him, he might break the window and grab things.

Uncle Jack told Lin Yu'an that once, the former sales manager was going to the city center by car, but fortunately he left his computer bag in the back of the car.

When I went to a chaotic area in the city, I encountered a traffic jam.

At the intersection of the red light, a few people appeared, holding a hammer, looking into the car one by one,

If they saw something in the car, they would smash the window and snatch it away.

The traffic is stuck on the road, unable to move, and can only be snatched by the other party.

He didn't dare to get out of the car to chase, who would know if the other party had a gun?

In this country where guns are not allowed, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, many unemployed and homeless people, and dangers everywhere.

After going to South Africa, Lin Yuan realized how safe it is to live in China.

On the first day of getting to know the customer, Lin Yu'an was fluent in French and communicated smoothly.

Even when customers ask about the performance and development of her products, she can answer them fluently and make customers very satisfied.

This is also thanks to the fact that Lin Yu'an was targeted by Zhao Fei and followed Maota's orders alone.

She went around asking other people's questions, trying hard and softly, and gained a little bit of experience.

Lin Yuan promoted and introduced the latest domestically developed products to customers.

I brought them small Chinese-style gifts, bookmarks, and round fans.

The customer accepted the gift and treated Lin Yu'an well, and asked her to have dinner with her another day.

On the way back, Jack said, "MissLin, you are doing well",

Lin Yu'an smiled and asked about Jack's job,

From the administrative level, Jack is her subordinate, and he has to report to her on a daily basis.

The next day, Lin Yuan took Jack to visit other customers to maintain customer relations.

Gradually, Lin Yu'an got used to working in South Africa, and Jack's attitude towards her also changed.

After get off work, Jack and the administrator went home, and Lin Yu'an went back to the house alone.

There is a black nanny who is responsible for cooking and cleaning, and two black security guards live in the outermost room.

The nanny is usually responsible for tidying up the room, washing clothes, cooking for Lin Yuan,

After she finishes eating, she cleans up and leaves.

The time difference of 7 hours makes Lin Yuan meet in the dead of night,

Miss China, miss everything.

Lonely, lonely, like a shadow,

It will arrive quietly when night falls and when everyone in the country is asleep.

All the groups have become quiet, no one talks on QQ and WeChat, and Weibo updates are slow,

Lin Yu'an flipped through the chat records in the group during the day, his gaze would fall on Lin Xia's profile picture, and he paused.

The freshness at the beginning fades very quickly.

And it is accompanied by day after day, repetitive work and life.

Every morning, the driver takes Lin Yuan to the office, or to visit clients,

At noon, the driver drove her back to the dormitory for dinner and rest,

Then go back to the office, come home from get off work, and stay in an empty house.

When Qin Qingqiu opened the African market, there were quite a lot of people in South Africa.

Until the company's business gradually decreased and everyone left,

Or go elsewhere, or return home.

Until the former sales manager couldn't bear it any longer, he also left here.

The cake in South Africa was divided by other companies.

South African customers also don't have a good impression of Mitutoyo.

Because of the product problem a year ago, the two sides had an ugly fight,

Returns, compensation, and even lawsuits.

Originally the company wanted to give up the South African market, but Qin Qingqiu insisted on keeping people here.

Moreover, the South African government will change this year and is facing personnel adjustments.

Maybe Qin Qingqiu saw the opportunity,

Although small and pitiful.

Lin Yu'an was not depressed either, she invited a client to dinner but was declined,

He also smiled and said that next time, he will visit customers from time to time, and occasionally bring some small gifts.

She remembers every client's birthday in the government department, and will send flowers and cakes,

If the customer is busy, she will put the gift on the front desk and pass it on to the customer.

Gradually, clients would occasionally send a message to Lin Yuan to say thank you.

On this day, Lin Yu'an received an email from Jin Yuan.

It is said that this year's African exhibition will be held in South Africa,

Customers and suppliers from various countries will gather in South Africa,

President Qin and several leaders are going to Cape Town, and Lin Yu'an is responsible for receiving them.

In fact, Lin Yuan felt that it was better to receive foreign customers than domestic leaders.

Because when eating with South African customers, they just have a drink, or don’t drink,

Clients don't push you to drink, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Lin Yu'an bit the bullet and went to receive the reception. Jin Yuan had booked a seaside hotel in Cape Town in advance, and the scenery was very nice.

Lin Yuan took Jack and the driver was waiting in the terminal holding a sign,

I saw Qin Qingqiu wearing a black suit, long hair draped over his shoulders, and sunglasses,

Wearing a brand-name bag, he walked out surrounded by several ministers.

She is tall, wearing black high-heeled shoes, similar to the man next to her,

Walk out of an aura of stars and moons.

Lin Yu settled for a moment, so he could only shake the sign,

Qin Qingqiu looked over, pointed at Lin Yu'an, and the others followed.

"President Qin", Lin Yu'an shouted,

Qin Qingqiu lowered his head slightly, looked at Lin Yu'an, who was blocked by the sunglasses, with an expression that he didn't know,

But the voice was very cold, "Let's go."

The driver drove a black Mercedes, Qin Qingqiu got into it, and the two ministers quickly followed.

Lin Yu'an was riding in Jack's own Toyota, and the other two ministers also got in.

The hotel is next to the seaside, and this is the first time Lin Yuan has come back here.

The coastal road is winding, with the blue sea on the right and rolling mountains on the left.

Dotted with villas, located in the verdant green,

White walls, blue wooden windows, it must be very comfortable to live here.

For the sake of safety, the dormitory where Lin Yuan lives is also in the wealthy area, but the rent of the hotels and houses on the cliff near the sea is very expensive.

Therefore, the office and dormitory are rented in a slightly remote place outside the city.

The driver sent the leaders to the hotel.

Lin Yu'an asked Jack to go back first, and agreed on a time to pick up the leader and go to the exhibition tomorrow.

The author has something to say:

Although South Africa is lonely, but there is Mr. Qin...

She's here, she's here, she's really here [aunt laughs]

Are you ready, little white rabbit?

The big devil is here
