Upon hearing Shen Xingcan's arrangement, Jiang Yifeng immediately responded.
Zou Yanshu: "I want to go with the captain too!"
Jiang Yifeng: " Zou Xiaolv, I'm warning you, don't go too far!"
" Jiang Xiaobai, don't go too far!"
Shen Xingcan's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. "... You two go and team up with Xie Linchuan, and I'll team up with either Sister Lin Cen or Ranran."
"Never mind then, I'll team up with Brother Shu Yan."
Upon hearing Shen Xingcan's words, Jiang Yifeng and Zou Yanshu both spoke in unison.
Shen Xingcan: "..."
He looked at Xie Linchuan suspiciously. "What did you do to them?"
Xie Linchuan peeled the egg yolk and placed it on the small plate in front of Shen Xingcan, saying calmly, "After our divorce, they were awarded to you, so it's normal for them to be resistant to me."
Shen Xingcan blinked. "That's true."
[You only like egg yolks? That's so cat-like.]
[Haha, I can't stop laughing that the divorce settlement went to Shen Xingcan.]
[ Best Actor Xie, you should really reflect on yourself. Why wasn't anyone sentenced to a penalty?]
Ye Ran asked curiously, "Actually, I've always been wondering what criteria the netizens used to make their judgments back then. Why didn't anyone get a sentence handed down to Brother Linchuan?"
Lin Cen: "That's really strange, hahaha."
Jiang Yifeng said solemnly, "Because we are all fans of the captain. I am the captain's sole fan, Zou Xiaolv is the captain's most ardent fan, and Xiao Xubai is the captain's career fan."
Song Tiantian laughed out loud, "Many netizens have commented on the fan base of the three of you before, and their comments are exactly the same as what you're saying."
[Haha, I'm out of luck. I'm a solo stan, a toxic solo stan, a career-oriented fan, and also a boyfriend fan.]
Lin Cen: "Then I'll go with Xingcan, and Ye Ran and Shu Yan will go together."
Ye Ran had no objections. "Okay."
At first, because of Bai Lin, Lin Cen didn't go against Shen Xingcan, but she did say a lot of things for Bai Lin. Now, she naturally wants to build a good relationship with Shen Xingcan.
It's okay if you can't become better, but at least you have to save face.
Shen Xingcan nodded, not rejecting Lin Cen's suggestion. "Okay, it's settled then. Sister Lin Cen in one group, Ranran and Brother Shu Yan in another. We'll set off after we finish eating."
Lin Cen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Shen Xingcan knew very well that, given his status, if he refused Lin Cen, he wouldn't even need to say anything; many people would be quick to understand and act accordingly.
Although Lin Cen has some flaws, she is not a bad person. Bai Lin is the second son of the other party's boss, so it is perfectly normal for her to say a few words for Bai Lin. There is no need to affect other people's careers over such a small matter.
Jiang Yifeng sighed wearily, knowing he could no longer change the established facts.
After sighing, he looked at Shu Yan with great curiosity. "The captain and the youngest can speak French because they both like to come here when they're not working. Is it the same for you, Brother Shu Yan?"
Aside from specific professions, most people are bilingual in Chinese and English. Unless necessary, few people will specifically learn another language; knowing both Chinese and English is enough to travel all over the world.
Shu Yan smiled and said, "Yes, when I'm not working, I often stay in France, so I learned a bit to make daily communication easier."
Jiang Yifeng said with a weathered expression, "To be honest, I did try it. I even found a special teacher, but it didn't help much. Eventually, I just gave up. Anyway, the captain is here."
"It was indeed very difficult to learn at first, and it took me a long time to get used to those pronunciations."
Shu Yan's voice was gentle, as if his past experience learning French was truly wonderful for him, and there was a smile in his eyes as well.
His French was taught to him little by little by that person.
He thought then that he must love him.
If he didn't love her, how could someone like that have so much patience with him? Surely he doesn't enjoy teaching others French, does he?
But later Shu Yan realized that the other person was teaching him French simply because he enjoyed teaching others French.
This has nothing to do with whether or not the person being studied is Shu Yan.
-
After breakfast, everyone met with the fruit farmers one by one.
The program's director personally appeared on camera to introduce the fruit farmers to everyone. To everyone's surprise, in addition to the fruit farmers, there were also several cadres from Chongshan who came to Paris this time.
The production team arranged for them to work with partners in different districts of Paris, which is why they were grouped together to save time and therefore couldn't travel in the same car.
After Xie Linchuan's period of reporting his whereabouts, Shen Xingcan was no longer so resistant to the fact that she couldn't be with Xie Linchuan all the time.
But while I wasn't that resistant, it's absolutely impossible to say I wasn't affected at all.
Xie Linchuan looked at Shen Xingcan, whose face showed no abnormality but who was actually very unhappy, and gently coaxed her, "I will deal with these three partners as soon as possible. Every hour, I will send you a location and tell you what I am doing."
Shen Xingcan gave a half-hearted hum. "Why send that kind of thing? I have to talk business with someone later, I definitely won't have time to look at it."
"You really don't have time to watch?"
"No."
Xie Linchuan teased him deliberately, "Then I won't send it."
Shen Xingcan's eyes immediately turned fierce. "If you don't send it, you're dead!"
Xie Linchuan calmly, "You don't even look at it, yet you want to know whether I post it or not?"
Shen Xingcan boasted shamelessly, " Shen Xingcan doesn't have to read it, but Xie Linchuan absolutely has to post it!"
Xie Linchuan sighed, " Shen Xingcan, you're so domineering."
Shen Xingcan, with an arrogant air like a cat returning victorious from a battle, declared, "So what? Shen Xingcan has no obligation to be anything but domineering!"
Be domineering! Be domineering!
Xie Linchuan was once again charmed by the beautiful Ragdoll cat. He reached out to tidy up the stray hairs of the person in front of him and said, "Okay, Shen Xingcan has no obligation not to be domineering. How about I give you blue flowers today? They'll match Little Star's scarf perfectly."
Shen Xingcan replied reservedly, "Yes, that's fine."
Shen Xingcan was successfully coaxed by Xie Linchuan, and in a good mood, he said, "See you at noon then."
Okay, see you at noon.
"I'm getting on the bus, bye-bye."
"Okay, bye-bye."
[If anyone says the two of them are brothers, I'm not going to send my brother flowers every day.]
[ Best Actor Xie really, really loves his wife; his eyes are practically drooling with affection!]
[Trump supporter: My brother has never said such sweet nothings to me.]
[So all those flowers Shen Xingcan posts on Weibo every day really were gifts from Best Actor Xie, tsk tsk.]
[I have to report my whereabouts and send my location every hour... Shen Xingcan, why are you so clingy...]
[So what if you're clingy? We, the Evil Ragdoll King, have the freedom to be clingy! We have no obligation not to be!]
[@Trump supporters @Chan supporters, how are you feeling right now?]
[I'm not in the mood, as long as my brother is happy.]
Having witnessed the whole thing, Jiang Yifeng feigned sudden realization. "So that bouquet of flowers the captain posts on Weibo every day was sent by the youngest member! I used to think it was from one of the captain's suitors, and I was even wondering if the captain was in love."
Zou Yanshu glanced at Jiang Yifeng as if he were an idiot, then subtly took a step back, afraid that if he got too close to Jiang Yifeng, he would catch his idiocy.
[Exceptionally insensitive.]
The live stream screen was split into three parts.
On the bus, Shen Xingcan, Lin Cen, and the fruit farmers and officials from Chongshan discussed the products they needed to promote.
Lin Cen looked at the product in her hand. "The design on the product should be the mango doll that Xingcan drew last time, right?"
Fruit farmer. "Yes, the mango doll in the picture was drawn for us by Xingcan. After we went back last time, Xingcan also sent us a picture of a green mango. Our fresh mangoes are selling much better than before."
As he spoke, the fruit farmer pulled out a package of dried fruit with a green mango doll painted on it.
[He really does paint.]
[Our Ragdoll cat may be a little naughty, but it's a very good cat (*^▽^*)]
Shen Xingcan asked curiously, "Since fresh mangoes sell so well, why make so many mango products? Is it because of transportation costs?"
The official said, "That's partly why, but the bigger reason is that the climate on our entire Chongshan Island is very suitable for growing mangoes, but the domestic market can't accommodate that many. If we can open up the international market, then we can expand the planting area."
Shen Xingcan: "But if we finalize all the contracts, is there a way to supply that many mangoes now?"
The official said, "Yes, if we secure the contract here, domestic sales of fresh mangoes will decrease, and priority will be given to supplying mango products from here. Mangoes bear fruit every two years, so we can shrink part of our domestic market during that time, and our neighboring city will also benefit from it."
Shen Xingcan: "It seems our mission this time is very important."
This is all related to the future development path of the entire Chongshan.
The cadre smiled and said, "That's certainly true."
"If we succeed, will you get a promotion?"
The official's answer was straightforward, "Definitely, I'll treat you to dinner when I get promoted."
Shen Xingcan: "For your promotion, and so that I can have dinner with you when I go to Chongshan in the future, I'll do anything."
"Let's give it our all."
[Was there such a huge plan hidden all along?]
[Regardless of the outcome, there is no doubt that the leaders of Chongshan are genuinely thinking about how to make their people prosperous.]
[... Isn't it a bit unreliable to entrust such a big matter to a production team?]
[They must have thought this through carefully. And don't forget, this program is a charity event produced by Apple to help farmers. The government must also want this program to help our agricultural products go global. Otherwise, why would they organize a trip to Paris?]
[I don't think it's unreliable. Besides, it's not just the show's guests; there are also local officials and fruit farmers. Even if the negotiations don't succeed, the brand awareness of Chongshan mangoes will definitely increase significantly after the show airs.]
Undoubtedly, Shen Xingcan had no idea how to market the mango products and finalize the cooperation.
His excellent and fluent French allowed him to convey the product introductions from the fruit farmers and officials around him to the partners he needed to negotiate with.
By the time they reached their second partner, Shen Xingcan was already able to communicate independently. During the entire communication process, he only asked the officials and fruit farmers next to him two questions.
By the time they reached the third partner, Shen Xingcan no longer needed to ask any further questions.
[Nobody's ever told me Shen Xingcan's French is this good? You could easily mistake him for a complete France.]
[Shouldn't we marvel at his language skills, or his memory? He remembered almost everything after hearing so much information only once.]
[ Shen Xingcan previously said her husband was a top student, and now it seems he's clearly no less so.]
[Is that a genius cat? So cute!]
[I just checked other live streams, and we're way ahead! I declare our beautiful Ragdoll cats the best!]
Chongshan's mango products are of very good quality, and the cadres and fruit farmers know the products very well, so Shen Xingcan had a smooth morning.
When Shen Xingcan finished signing the third contract, it was just past noon.
He looked at the message Xie Linchuan had sent on his phone and said, "Things are all sorted out with Xie Linchuan. He'll be here soon... Sister Lin Cen, how about we just eat out for lunch today?"
"Sure, since we're in Paris, we should definitely experience some of the local culture."
"I'll send another message to Brother Shu Yan, telling him to gather here too..."
On the day they met, Shen Xingcan added Shu Yan on WeChat.
Shu Yan's WeChat, like him, is a cute, gentle-looking Xiaobai.
Shen Xingcan received a reply from Shu Yan within minutes of sending the message.
Shu Yan: Okay, (bunny heart emoji)
Shen Xingcan looked at the familiar rabbit emoji on her phone, her eyebrows twitching slightly.
This rabbit emoji set wasn't officially released by WeChat; it was collected by the owner himself. Before this, Shen Xingcan had seen someone else use this rabbit emoji...
Shen Xingcan found a restaurant nearby that he was familiar with.
The sun was shining brightly today, so the group decided to sit outside the restaurant.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Xie Linchuan arrived.
He was indeed holding the flowers he had promised Shen Xingcan that morning.
It was a beautiful bunch of blue forget-me-nots.
As always, a beautiful little cat is drawn on the flower; today, the little cat is catching a butterfly.
[Flower delivery scene! Wow! Whose little kitten is this? It looks so happy! It's our Xingcan Meow Meow ~ (>^ω^<)]
Shen Xingcan (●♡∀♡) Xie Linchuan are currently in a passionate relationship!
[Heh, Shen Xingcan, you're pretty smug now, aren't you? He's completely infatuated with you?]
[Stop teasing her, what if you make your sister-in-law angry? Then your brother will have to coax her, you silly goose.]
Shen Xingcan held the bouquet of flowers, found a good angle, and took a picture.
Shen Xingcan V: I received a beautiful bouquet of blue forget-me-nots at noon. This time, I finally know who sent the flowers~ (cat spinning and jumping. jpg)
