"Tie Tie" full records 漂 drifting across the sea to see you -to love people (Chinese and English)

Travel far away across the sea for you, my beloved

Wen Mengting

We met and knew each other, and fell in love because of the 10th of Ramadan Railway Project in Egypt. Since then, we have been working together for the project construction as a couple. I don't remember how many nights we had gone through , but we finally witnessed the signing of the project contract. The senior leadership of China Railway Group Limited and AVIC International Holding Corporation came to Egypt and witnessed the completion of the project. During the celebration, the leadership gave us the best wishes, observing that our love, just like the cooperation between the two companies of the consortium, would have a bright future. In the presence of the leadership, you proposed to me with a firm promise of loyalty. As the project is about to be completed and opened to Traffic, we have had an adage baby. What a happy ending for both us and the project.

Honey:

If life is just like the first sight, I will always remember to meet you in Chengdu for the first time in 2014. You follow the two leaders of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense to travel to China Railway Second Hospital, and the company's overseas department sent me to receive you. In the hotel lobby you stayed, you smiled, wore a black woolen coat, and shook hands with me politely.

I learned that you came for Egypt ’s fast -moving city railway project on the 10th. At that time, the project was still in the early stage of development.

I first came into contact with the project and I am not familiar with the city name along the railway. Attentive you, noticed that I was a little struggling during the translation, so I naturally took the translation work calmly and cleverly resolved the embarrassment for me. After the meeting, we accompanied the leaders to inspect the intercity railway and took our first photo in Dujiangyan. On that day, the rainy sky was rare to clean up. When I sent you to the airport, I said, "I am glad to meet you!"

Guo Kaixiang and Meng Ting's relationship with the iron project

Originally, this project was responsible for another colleague. Because of his resignation, in early 2015, the company's translation department decided to send me to the technician to Egypt. In this way, I crossed the sea and met you again on the banks of the Nile.

When we got off the plane, the time difference was not adjusted. With more than ten people, under the leadership of the group company, we rushed to the owner's Egyptian National Tunnel Bureau (NAT) to participate in the project launch conference. As the only translation of the meeting, I was a little nervous and quietly said to you: "If I have a place where I can't understand it, please help you to correct it in time." You softly appeased: "No problem, everything has me."

This meeting continued from the early morning to the afternoon. With your help, I successfully completed the first conference translation work in Egypt.

After the start of the conference, we began to discuss preliminary technical specifications with the owner. During this time, the daily schedule was almost out of the meeting, going out in Chaoxia, accompanied by the sunset. In this unfamiliar country, you take us to NAT by the subway. If you are a non -language professional, you talk to the owner engineer with a fluent English.

I listened to you carefully to talk to the owner, take the opportunity to be familiar with the accent of Egyptian customers, and remember the main points of your conversation. Sometimes when you encounter something you don't understand, ask you, you always answer patiently. Since the Egyptian people are used to lunch after get off work at four in the afternoon, we often ca n’t eat meals all day at NAT meetings. There is a fast food restaurant nearby. Looking for the gap between noon, you take us to the store to eat fried chicken and burger, and pad the belly. Although the conditions are difficult, we are all very happy. Meeting during the day, at night you go to our project department and engineers to work overtime to review the technical specifications. One sentence, a word, and even a punctuation symbol, you strictly control, the Virgo is stubbornly pursuing perfection.

Guo Kaixiang and Meng Ting took a photo in Dujiangyan

One day, I will return to the office at 9 o'clock in the evening. Before I have time to eat dinner, I turn on the computer to continue working. When you come to me for some information, I said casually that before eating dinner, you immediately proposed to take me out for dinner. Your move is moved by me in a foreign country.

Later, as the contact gradually increased, our hearts slowly got close until they confirmed the relationship. However, the busy and intense work rhythm always pushes us forward. It is not so much a lover, it is better to be a comrade -in -arms, and hurriedly shuttled between the venues.

It was a New Year of the lunar calendar. We did not return to China. On New Year's Eve, we rushed to meet with the owner. After opening the meeting, you and I walked side by side on the streets of the car. You suddenly stopped and glanced at the phone. After a long time, you sighed and choked to me. Your grandmother who has been ill for a long time leaves people. You blushed and did not let the tears fall, but I saw your sadness from your slightly low head and trembling hands. I can't worry about you, I can only hold your arm bend and tell you: "And me."

In the process of getting along with you, your care for me is meticulous. In work, you give me guidance, tell me the progress of the project, and share with me the skills of negotiating with the owner; I can't translate the documents, you will work with me to work overtime late at night ... In life, I am sick and cough. Sleeping is that you are guarded by your body, helping me brush the bowl, apply medicine for feet, and wash clothes ...

I don't remember how many nights of Star Daiyue, we finally welcomed the official signing of the project contract. Senior leaders of China Railway and AVIC International came to Egypt and witnessed this moment. When toasting and celebrating, the leaders also remembered our couples who worked hard at the grassroots level, saying that our combination, just like the cooperation between the two companies, will have a good future. You proposed to me in front of all leaders and colleagues, and made a promise of firm loyalty.

Looking back at the past, the leaders' wishes that year will be fulfilled. The project is about to be completed and opened to traffic this year. We have also ushered in cute babies. The project and us have a gratifying ending.

Shen Congwen wrote to his lover Zhang Zhaohe's love letter, there is a saying that is very beautiful- "I have walked many places in many places, have seen many clouds, drinking many types of wine, but only loved a person with the best age. . "I also want to tell you that I have gone through thousands of mountains and waters, and I met you in the best years and in the project worth remembering for a lifetime.

Your lover Meng Ting
