The statements of the two translators are consistent, and Director Chen believes it for the most part.
"Even if he understands Hua Xia, what good is it except for us to be careful about what we say tomorrow?"
After Director Chen finished speaking, Jiang Cheng smiled with a hint of cunning.
"But he doesnāt know that we know he understands."
Everyone present understood this tongue-twister of a sentence and had some thoughts in mind.
"Create something out of nothing, move east while striking west, letās play the Thirty-Six Stratagems!"
"When it comes to strategy, who can beat us Hua Xia?"
Jiang Chengās question set everyoneās hearts ablaze.
Thatās right!
Letās play!
Director Chen was tempted too, but as a director, he had too much to consider.
"Bang bang bang"
The urgent knocking on the door sounded, and the people outside rushed in heedlessly.
"Director!"
"Those Japanese guys harassed the hotel waitress!"
Director Chen swore.
"Damn!"
Director Chen, with Jiang Cheng, went to handle the Japaneseās issues first.
The Japanese claimed they were drunk and mistakenly took the waitress for their wife.
On the Hua Xia side, they couldnāt say anything, and had to publicly accept the apology while privately comforting the waitress.
The waitress could only silently swallow her resentment.
After handling the matter, Director Chen returned with a murderous aura.
Itās still that office, still those people, but the atmosphere was different.
"Jiang Cheng, do you have any thoughts? Share them!"
"Alright!"

The next day, the Japanese wanted to continue their visit.
The Hua Xia side naturally accepted, but the tour route was decided by them.
After breakfast, the Japanese returned to the machinery factory to continue their visit.
An hour later, the leader who understood Hua Xia felt a bit unwell.
Jiang Cheng approached with concern.
"Is it acclimatization? It must be, everyone else is fine."
Jiang Chengās words dismissed the leaderās attempt to blame the Hua Xia side.
No blame could be placed!
The leader wanted to use the restroom, and Jiang Cheng accompanied him with another male colleague.
Another interpreter with an IV stayed with the remaining Japanese.
As Jiang Cheng and the two others passed by an office, voices could be heard inside.
"Why arenāt those Japanese leaving yet?"
"Who knows! We canāt just chase them out."
"Did the opposing party really place an order?"
"Of course! They said the order is urgent, claiming a major domestic group wants to purchase these vehicles, whoever produces them first will be formidable!"
"No wonder theyāre in a hurry, pushing us to speed up."
"Exactly, those Japanese should probably leave today."
The Japanese leader outside heard everything clearly. He stole a glance at Jiang Cheng, feigning indifference while asking, "What are they talking about?"
Jiang Cheng maintained his expression.
"Theyāre discussing a very good movie, do you like watching movies?"
Jiang Cheng changed the topic, and the Japaneseās expression darkened a bit.
He quickly went to the restroom, and upon exiting, saw Jiang Cheng and the two people from earlier discussing something intensely.
The Japanese hurriedly hid and tried to listen hard.
"You two better watch your mouth, you almost gave us away!"
"If they find out we never intended to sign their order, what would happen!"
