Liam Wong: 【Well, it's okay honey, you can call them directly.】
王先生又要求她打电话给机器厂商。
梁雪莹知道自己英语口语不怎么样,但这是第一次完成王先生的要求,为了不让王先生失望,她必须做到。
不就是打一通电话,不要说很多话,只是确认厂商收到王先生的需求邮件就行。
七点了,梁雪莹回复他会在丹麦时间十点打电话,就要起床了。
八点四十五分,梁雪莹到达办公室。当她打开微信,发现王先生还在线,他发来不少感谢的话。
Liam Wong: 【Oh, thank you so much my love. I want you to know that I love you so much, and you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You're my sunshine, and my moonlight. I love you honey.】(哦,太感谢你了,亲爱的。我想让你知道我是如此的爱你,你是我生命中最美好的东西。你是我的阳光,我的月光。我爱你,亲爱的。)
梁雪莹看着王先生感谢不尽的话,还有一堆王氏情话,竟然也不觉得甜得发腻。
他感谢得越多,她越觉得他是一个知恩图报的人,反而给了她更多帮助王先生做事的信心。
他还不忘问候她的两个孩子。
梁雪莹回复他:【他们都很好。你快去睡觉吧!】
王先生似乎心情很好,答应了她去睡觉,却还在不停地给她发消息。
Liam Wong:【Every morning comes with new hopes and new opportunities. I wish you all the best for today my love.(每天早晨都带来新的希望和新的机会。祝你今天一切都好,我的爱人。)
Sherry:【I called them,and asked him to respond to us today. He said it's sure.】(我打电话给他们了,让他今天给我们答复。他说可以。)
很快,王先生回复她。
Liam Wong:【Very good, I'm glad to hear that, so that means they'll get back to us very soon. Let's just be a little patient. By the way, how is your day going so far, I hope you enjoyed your lunch?】(很好,我很高兴听到这个消息,所以这意味着他们很快就会给我们答复。我们就耐心等一等吧。顺便问一下,你今天过得怎么样,我希望你午餐吃得愉快。)
Liam Wong:【For now I will go and make the payment, then send you the payment prove to send to the machine company okay? I will get back to you later.】(现在我先去付款,然后把付款证明发给你,你发给机器公司可以吗?我稍后再打给你。)
梁雪莹很好奇,所以她问他:【你如何让付款?去最近的银行?】
一想到王先生在海上住着,他是乘一艘小游艇去银行吗?来回怕是要一天吧?
这么想着,她一晚上没再发消息问他什么。她想,等王先生办完事儿,就会回复她。
认识王先生第二十六天。
凌晨三点多,梁雪莹醒来。第一时间查看手机,王先生一点多就回复她了。
Liam Wong:【No honey, I am very far from land, and besides, I can't leave here until I'm done with this contract. I hope you can understand me honey?
I am trying to make the payment from my online banking offshore account. But I haven't been able to make a successful transfer since I left to make the payment. It's keeps showing unsuccessful due to the poor network signal over here. This is really annoying and frustrating.】(不,亲爱的,我离陆地太远了,再说,合同没完成我就不能离开这里。我希望你能理解我,亲爱的?
Liam Wong:【My dear, I can't ask the company to pay for me first. This is a contract job and you know that. I am the manager of this contract, and as the boss I'm the one responsible for any charges or expenses concerning this contract. I hope you understand me?】(亲爱的,我不能让公司先给我付款。这是合同工作,你知道的。我是这份合同的经理,作为老板,我要对与这份合同有关的任何费用负责。我希望你能理解我。)
Liam Wong:【I just woke up now, I will still keep on trying, hopefully I can make the payment before tomorrow noon.】(我现在刚刚醒来,我还会继续努力,希望我能在明天中午之前付款。)
不出所料,王先生的执拗不是一般地强。即使网络信号差得让人绝望,他仍然继续坚持自己付款。
梁雪莹没再说什么,她继续睡觉。
王先生的烦恼,与她何干!
今天周末,她可以睡到八点才起床,但生物钟让她六点钟就醒了。她发现自己做不到对王先生不管不问。
王先生一直没睡觉,他刚刚还问她:【你还醒着吗?】
此话不言而喻,他的问题没有解决,他很郁闷。
梁雪莹没问他‘转账完成了吗’之类的,这无异于在伤口上撒盐。
她对他说:【你是用的什么路由器?休息一下吧,先想想办法增强网络信号。】
Liam Wong:【I have a VoIP router connected to my VoIP device, which enables me to access few apps, because I'm restricted to some apps here, and that's why I'm able to communicate with you, but the network connection is very very poor, you know we're in the middle of the sea, and there's no antenna or pole mounted anywhere close. My VoIP device is specialized for work, especially offshore works. Do you understand?】(我有一个VoIP路由器连接到我的VoIP设备上,这使我能够访问一些应用程序,因为我在这里只能使用一些应用程序,这就是为什么我能和你交流,但是网络连接非常非常差,你知道我们在大海中间,附近没有天线或电线杆。我的VoIP设备是专门用于工作的,特别是海上工作。你明白吗?)
Liam Wong:【You're awake already? I am not fine. I haven't been able to sleep, this is really bothering me. I still haven't been able to make a successful payment. I am so tired and weak, I feel frustrated.】(你已经醒了?我一点也不好。我一直睡不着,这事真的很困扰我。我还没能按时付款。我是如此的疲惫和虚弱,我感到沮丧。)
梁雪莹回答他:【我很想给你一个温暖的拥抱,但你现在最需要的是解决你的付款问题。】
她给他最后一条建议:【把船停在一个手机信号良好的地方,打开手机热点,帮助你的电脑连接到互联网。】
她也不知道老外有没有用过手机热点这种东西,听说国外的网络还没中国发达,即使是在欧洲一些发达国家。
当然,她也知道,这条建议更不可能被王先生接受。
此时,已经离王先生预设的付款期限过去了一天,她都替他着急,但她明白就她着急有什么用呢。
这天晚上十点多,她照例向王先生道晚安,准备睡觉。
但王先生让她留步。
他说:【Honey, please I really need you here.】(亲爱的,我真的很需要你。)
