153. Guest speaker

''Madam Shen, would you like coffee, tea or juice?'' Li Zhilan's question brought Shen Yiyi back.

''Ah... You can just call me Sam. That's what I go by during my work. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm back that I'm introducing myself as Shen Yiyi. Anyway, just call me Sam. It's more comfortable that way. Oh... and I'll take coffee. Thank you.'' Sam said with a flurry of words.

''Ah... alright. Actually that's more comfortable for me as well.'' Li Zhilan said to Sam before she turned towards the rest and smiled before asking them in the language of country M. ''What would you all like? The choices are the same.''

The girl from before was the first to speak out but not about what she wanted to have but rather to comment on Li Zhilan.

''Wow... You can speak so clearly and fluently. And you don't even have that Country C's accent which is usually very common.''

''Well, that's because I grew up there. I'm just here for my work.''

And just like this, he group which previously feared that they wouldn't be able to communicate well with their client was now filled with chattering. And the language also changed into that of country M.

Ofcourse, to them, Peiyi shocked them more. They thought she was just a small assistant and was trying so very hard to converse in the little country C's language they learned since they heard that their next client was from country C but to their utter surprise, Peiyi was also very fluent in their language. Thats when they learned that they both had lived in Country M almost all their lives.

While everyone was ready to start, Li Zhilan's phone rang. So she excused herself and walked towards the balcony before picking it up. Since the number was from country C, and was unknown, Li Zhilan answered in Country C's language.

''Hello?''

''Hello. Am I speaking to Miss Serenity?'' A male voice which was quite thick and strong sounded through the phone but he asked in the language of country M and there was a slight accent attached to it as well.

''Yes, that's me. May I know who I'm speaking with?''

''Hello miss Serenity. I'm Zhou Zhenghe, Dean of the medical faculty in C University in Country C. I would like to invite Miss Serenity as the guest speaker for our medical students.''

''Mr Zhou. Can I ask when that's happening. I have to clear my schedule first.'' Li Zhilan said in a light tone.

''That means you agreed? Great. We can arrange it whenever you are free.''

''Alright then. I let my assistant contact you.''

''Alright, alright. Thank you Miss Serenity.''

''It's my honor Mr Zhou.''

Li Zhilan walked back to find everyone ready to start with their work so Li Zhilan apologized for the inconvenience and then sat down to let them start.

''Miss Li, do you have any specific requirement?''

''Just keep it simple.''

Halfway through, Li Zhilan heard the girl from before whispering with a friend.

''See, I told you there are no pores.''

''There really isn't.''

''She has got a flawless skin.''

...

Everyone bid their goodbyes when Li Zhilan entered the car ready to head towards the award show. In the car, she told Peiyi about the gest speech and asked her to discuss and decide on a date.
