Zhang Heng went back to school, took a shower, and got a haircut at a nearby barbershop. Afterward, he found that he had received a WeChat friend request.
Zhang Heng had initially assumed it was from some tea-selling scammer or someone running a honey trap and had planned to reject it outright, but after seeing the name in the note, he changed his mind and accepted.
Before long, the other party greeted him first.
--Hi.
Zhang Heng politely replied with a hi as well.
--I hope I'm not disturbing you. I worked out the time, and it should be afternoon where you are. You said last time that you would probably come over around July, and it's about that time now, so do you have a specific itinerary yet?
The person who had added Zhang Heng on WeChat was none other than Song Jia, the student translator he had found on a travel website. The two had reached a preliminary employment agreement, and she would provide translation and guide services for Zhang Heng's upcoming trip to Greenland.
Zhang Heng typed.
--You use WeChat too? Yeah, I'm already preparing to leave. I can't completely confirm the itinerary yet, but I plan to hire you for one month. I'll decide where we go during that month, and even if it ends up being less than a month, I'll still pay you for the full month.
--Is that so?
The other side replied with those three words. Zhang Heng could sense Song Jia's hesitation. Although Greenland was her hometown, she was still only a female student. Spending an entire month with an unfamiliar man, without even knowing the specific itinerary, naturally made her uneasy.
Zhang Heng did not urge her and quietly waited for her to make a decision.
