The assistant said this, yawned, and went off to find someone to share a bed with.
"I thought Italians didn't like working overtime?"
"I should just stay at a hotel," said Meng Xin Zhi after the assistant had left.
"I already promised your dad that you could stay here, and now you want to go to a hotel, what's that supposed to mean?"
"But isn't there no room at the firm?"
"How do you know there's no room in the firm?" Nie Guangyi was a bit surprised because he had spoken with his assistant in Italian.
"I can understand a little bit of very basic Italian, and if I combine that with the actual situation here, I could guess," she replied.
"Are you sure you only know a little bit?" Nie Guangyi began to recall his conversation with the assistant.
Was there a point where he'd shown distaste for the young woman insisting on following along?
Did he say something else inappropriate?
Thinking about it, Nie Guangyi gave up.
