Chapter 123 - Beautiful Werden (2/2)
Theriver with clear waters and rass as far as the eye can see This place was breathtakingly beautiful
The beauty of the landscape struck Xia Lei like a thunderbolt He sighed ‘This is a rare sight now in my country’
Annina suddenly turned onto an ancient cobblestone road and Xia Lei was nearly bounced off the motorcycle He hurriedly held on to Annina’s small waist and stuck himself close to her back He was stable now but the real test had just begun The buo up and down on thethe cobblestone road did not go on for long and they stopped in front of a house by the river The house had theriver in front and a lush hbours to be seen and it was beautifully tranquil This was theenvironment Xia Lei had ever seen
“This is lasses
Xia Lei quickly jumped off the motorcycle, “Do you live alone?”
“Yep My parents live soesture of invitation, “Welcome”
Xia Lei followed her into the house There was a sofa and fireplace in the living roo above it “Do you like to hunt?” asked Xia Lei curiously
“No, that’s un I don’t like to kill animals Take a seat; I’ll make you so to Josef’s place?” said Xia Lei
Annina laughed, “It’s not even six yet His birthday party is at seven; we don’t have to be there so early Sit down, I’ll make coffee You can also look around if you want, don’t be shy”
Xia Lei stopped protesting and nodded
Annina went to the kitchen to e to Long Bing: Going to a colleague’s birthday party I’ll be late
He soon received a reply: Okay
Just that one word Xia Lei smiled wryly, then put his phone away and went to look around Annina’s hoh-end iten and layout of her hohly specialised books, , in the study on the second floor He flipped casually through one of the electrical engineering books and found that the information in the book was more detailed and comprehensive than what he’d found online
‘I’ll ask if I can borrow soht a stea cup of black coffee over, “Oh, you’re in the study You like reading too?”
“Yes, I love reading,” said Xia Lei
“You’re reading a book on electrical engineering Are you interested in this field?” Annina put the coffee on the study table
“Yeah, I’hed, “Truthfully, I want to be like you and get a high-level job title I’ll be able to earn more then”
“I’et the chance you should talk to Josef He’s a genius Oh, right, he’s working on soent lathe now and it’s close to co,” said Annina
“A large super intelligent lathe?” Xia Lei’s mind whirred and he recalled the conversation he’d lip-read at the plant The words ‘intelligent’ and ‘lathe’ had definitely been mentioned
“Yep, he talked about it and it shall be the ent lathe in the world It’ll be able to save a huge amount of manpower and tiher than the current lathes,” said Annina, “Being able to increase the precision, even by a thousandth of an iota is an impressive feat in itself”
Xia Lei picked up the cup of black coffee and stirred it with a spoon, thinking, ‘I n! If Thunder Horse Manufacturing can get a lathe like this then , will be the best manufacturer in the whole of China!’
“You like this place?” Annina looked at Xia Lei, all smiles
“I like it I really like it,” s that it’d be nice to have a house like this”
“If you like it you can co now? If you e you a token amount for rent What do you think?”
“Uh…” Xia Lei thought for a bit, “Thanks but ain when it is”
“How about you stay here for the night? I want to drink so there won’t be anyone who can send you hoain, “Okay, then… pardon the intrusion”
“Hee hee, are all you Chinese so polite?” Annina laughed
“Most Chinese are We are a nation of etiquette,” said Xia Lei
The pair started chatting and Xia Lei soon forgot Long Bing’s cautioning words to not reveal that he could speak German very fluently However, in his two days of interaction with Annina, Xia Lei did not think that she would bring hiular woht Xia Lei out at about 630p a small path to Josef’s house
