Chapter 749 Here Comes Veronica (112)
"Didn't I say yesterday that I will take you to a place today? After you come out, I will take you to that place."
"What exactly is this place?"
"You will know when the time comes!"
Raymond still kept Veronica in suspense.
As she spoke, Veronica had already seen the car that had come to pick her up.
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. The car that plans to pick me up is already here," Veronica hurriedly said.
"Alright, see you later!"
Veronica smiled and hung up.
An unfamiliar man got out of the car and looked at Veronica warmly. "Are you Ms. Luke?"
"Yes, I am."
"Hello, Ms. Luke. Mr. Luis sent me to pick you up. Please get in the car!" As he spoke, he opened the door of the rear car.
"Thank you!"
Veronica politely got into the car.
As soon as she got into the car, Veronica realized that another person was sitting in the back seat. The person stared at the phone in Veronica's hand and suddenly took it away. The phone was suddenly taken away. Veronica was alert and wanted to take it back.
"Ms. Luke, this is Mr. Luis's order. This press conference is very important. According to the rules, no one is allowed to bring their cell phones in. Please forgive us, Ms. Luke."
This was reasonable.
Veronica nodded without any doubt, saying, "Okay, but after it ends, you must return the phone to me."
"Of course."
Veronica, whose phone had been put away, was brought to the hotel room at the press conference of the Comte Group. To her surprise, Veronica saw an unexpected person in the hotel. It was lan, the one Veronica met two days ago on the street.
lan was not surprised to see Veronica at all. He warmly came forward to shake hands with Veronica and said in Italian, "Ms. Luke, I'm glad we meet again so soon."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Hersey!" Veronica shook hands with him, and her eyes were still unable to hide the surprise. She continued, "I didn't expect to see you here. Did you arrive at your destination successfully that day?"
lan laughed out loud and said, "Of course, Ms. Luke, you personally stopped the car for me and pointed out the location. Of course, I successfully arrived. Speaking of this, I still have to thank you, Ms. Luke." "It was just a small effort, but..." Veronica said politely. She looked around with confusion in her eyes and said, "Why would Mr. Hersey be here?"
"The press conference is held by the Comte Group and a company in Wooddale. The representative of the Wooddale side happens to be a good friend of mine. I happened to meet you on the street the other day. So... I recommended you to him."
Veronica was enlightened.
"No wonder they asked me to be the translator. So it was you who introduced me." Veronica looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you for your introduction, Mr. Hersey. You gave me such a chance. How about this? After the press conference ends, I'll buy you dinner."
"There's no need, because..." lan smiled and explained, "I still have one more thing I want to ask Ms. Luke for help with. I'll take it as ... payback for my introduction. How about it?" "Help? Help with what?"
"Well, I also have cooperation with the companies here. Because the cooperation is confidential, I want to find a reliable translator. The first time I saw Ms. Luke, I knew you'd be the one. So... I want you to help me," lan spoke of his intentions.
Ian helped Veronica, allowing her to be exposed to the translation industry. Therefore, it was reasonable for Veronica to return the favor. She had no reason to refuse the request of lan.
Veronica nodded generously and said, "Okay, I promise you that I will come to you after the press conference ends."
lan smiled and nodded. "Alright, when the time comes, I will wait for you here."
"No problem."
Veronica and lan talked about some interesting things that happened in Wooddale and Peace City. Shortly after, the press conference began.
After chatting with lan, Veronica was no longer so nervous. She generously went to the stage.
In fact, what Veronica was going to
do was translate the words of the
entrepreneur from Wooddale fluently, for Veronica, who had practiced countless times, it was the first time she translated it in front of the news media. Veronica was still a little nervous.

After the tension, Veronica gradually became better and better. When she was no longer nervous, her eyes revealed a confident and flamboyant expression. She translated the words of the representative of Wooddale in a more smooth and
complete manner.
The whole process was very short, but Veronica's beautiful appearance and beautiful voice left a good impression on the media. Some media even deliberately captured the scene when Veronica translated. After the press conference ended, Veronica finally calmed down and let out a long sigh.
Just as she was about to find the person who took her phone, lan was already waiting for her backstage.
Veronica thought for a moment and found someone to inform the person who took her phone, asking him to put her phone on the front desk and she would come over to get it later.
...
Raymond was waiting outside.
The press conference ended and it was getting late. Raymond had yet to receive a call from Veronica. When he called, Veronica's phone was turned off.
Just as Raymond was puzzled, Raymond's phone rang.
"Hello, boss, just received news that lan appeared at the press conference for the cooperation
company in Wooddale. And the person who recommended Ms. Luke
he Comte Group and anet
is also lan."
The favor lan asked Veronica was pretty simple. She just met a man who looked like an assistant and simply greeted him. She did not begin to discuss the details of the cooperation. After they met, lan sent Veronica to the front desk.
The press conference was over and the media in the hotel had gone. They were busy going back to write their press release. Veronica took her phone and found that her phone was off. She turned on the phone.
Thinking that Raymond might be waiting for her, she called Raymond first.
Raymond picked up the call as soon as his phone rang.
The speed at which he picked up the phone stunned Veronica for a moment. On the phone, Raymond's slightly anxious voice sounded, "Where are you?"
Veronica returned to her senses and replied, "I'm at the front desk of the hotel."
As soon as she finished speaking, Raymond hung up. Veronica heard the sound of the phone hanging up and frowned at the phone screen.
Beside her, lan looked at her with a smile, asking, "Who are you talking to? Your boyfriend?"
"Yes." Veronica nodded.
"I originally wanted to send you home, but... looks like I don't need to send you back!" lan said with a rather gentlemanly smile.
Veronica thought about the last time when lan called the wrong taxi on the street. She said worriedly, "Are you here by yourself? No one is with you?"
Hearing the worry in Veronica's words, lan laughed loudly.
"Ms. Luke, don't worry. We... Uh, the company arranged a special car to pick me up."
Veronica nodded in relief, saying, "Then I am relieved."
"However, the one who came today is not the boss. Another day... I am afraid I will have to trouble Ms. Luke again."
