Chapter 48: Girlfriend
"But you''re such a spendthrift. You''ve only been living here for a short while, and you already paid me the rent of 50,000 yuan. If you choose to retake the exam, it will take a long time, and I''m concerned about how much your financial pressure will be. I don''t mean to underestimate you, but you have too many principles and limitations."
“可是你这么大手大脚的,你在我这才住多久,就一次性给了我五万元的租金,如果你要二战的话那这学习时间就会很长,这样我有些不得不担心你,到时候你得有多大的经济压力呀。不是我小瞧你哦!只是你这人原则太多了,太束手束脚了。”

“是噢,当年你的普通话和英语的发音都是时常被老师当作模版才参考的,哪像我呀,英语说得很糟糕就算了,连普通话都有很重的乡音,不标准呀!”
"President Yuan, you are an exemplary role model for us junior employees, and society has already given you a high score. Whether or not you have a regional accent is not important. After all, you''re an entrepreneur, not a translator or a dubber. As for myself, I must admit that I am an average person
