619. Mao Sui recommended himself
After sending Su Meihui home, Li Xiang was left behind for lunch.
Li Xiang: ┓(?? -`)┏
On the way back, Li Xiang was worried about finding a training teacher for Su Meihui. It's easy to find an English teacher, but it's hard to find a professional medical teacher. Li Xiang decided to ask through Zhou Jiayi's channel first, if it didn't work, then find Mr. Fan, the person from Ding Ding Book City. There are so many medical books translated from abroad in the book city, and there must be a lot of translation experts in this area. If you are not at the worst, you can also go to the university to find medical students. Professional English is a compulsory subject for them.
From this, he thought that his "The Old Man and the Sea" had not yet found a helper.
In the afternoon, Li wanted to come to the studio again, and Xiao Xia timidly knocked on the office door. This little girl who has been in the studio for more than half a year, but is still shy every time she sees Li Xiang, came to Mao Sui to recommend herself. She wanted to recommend herself to Li Xiang as the recorder of "The Old Man and the Sea".
Li Xiang quickly recalled Xiao Xia's resume in his mind, she is now doing marketing planning work, and remembers that she seems to have graduated from Shengjing University, majoring in advertising.
"Tell me about it. Li Xiang decided to listen to her introduction.
Xiao Xia briefly talked about her situation, she graduated from Shengjing University with a major in advertising, and this major also needs to learn English. Her English has passed the professional level 8.
"I usually read some original English books, such as "The Story of the Romans", "The Baron in the Tree", ......"
Xiao Xia said seriously, and listed his advantages little by little. It can be seen that she values this job very much, and Li Xiang finally agreed to let her try.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Li!" Xiao Xia happily thanked him.
In fact, it is not difficult to work as a recorder for "The Old Man and the Sea", but it is urgent to have a sense of responsibility, a high degree of patience and carefulness, and a fast typing hand. If his own people can do it, Li Xiang is happy to give them priority.
"You go and bring the computer, we'll get started. Li Xiang said.
"Okay!" Xiao Xia happily walked out of the office.
Xiao Zhang appeared in front of her for the first time and asked with concern: "How is it?
Xiao Xia jumped up and down and said, "Let's start now." ”
Xiao Zhang waved his fist excitedly and followed Xiao Xia back to get the computer.
When Xiao Xia returned to the office, Zhou Jiayi also followed. She heard that Li Xiang was going to start translating "The Old Man and the Sea" now, and wanted to see how Li Xiang put the book in his head.
According to Zhou Jiayi's process, translation is a very difficult task, and the dictionary alone has to prepare several kinds of materials, as well as all kinds of materials about religion, morality, fables, beliefs, etc., which is really a huge and complicated work.
But today's translation of Li Xiang opened her eyes and was incredible.
Li Xiang sat on the sofa and dictated directly in English, while Xiao Xia on the side quickly typed the keylog. There was almost no pause in the middle, and Li Xiang would not stop until Xiao Xia couldn't keep up with the speed, and wait.
Zhou Jiayi was deeply shocked, left the office, and went back to "retreat" to prepare for the translation of "Love Life". She still has to follow her "earthwork", which is difficult to translate word by word, and she can't be as fast as she wants.
She comforted herself in her heart, Li Xiang is the author of "The Old Man and the Sea", so she naturally has a difficult understanding of this book, and she can talk about it quickly.
Although the way of dictating is fast, Li wants to take into account Xiao Xia's ability to bear it, and it is a heavy burden on his body and fingers to type and record all the time.
After two hours of translation and two 10-minute breaks in between, the day's translation work was temporarily over. Xiao Xia took the initiative to apply for another half an hour, but Li wanted her to go back to rest, such a long book could not be completed in a day or two.
"To celebrate your wishes, I'm going to invite you to dinner tonight. ”
As soon as Xiao Xia returned to his seat, Xiao Zhang appeared and invited him with a smile.
"Okay. ”
The two got off work together and came to a Chinese restaurant. Before eating, Xiao Zhang put a gift on the table and said, "A gift for you, open it and take a look." ”
"Do you want to give gifts for dinner?" asked Xiao Xia happily.
Xiao Zhang, who can catch the python with his bare hands, nodded and said: "It's not for you, my cousin came to Shengjing to play in the summer vacation, and stayed with me for a few days, I wanted to give him this gift, but he didn't want to ......."
Xiao Xia's smile, which was originally happy, gradually disappeared, and she really wanted to throw the gift in her hand on the ground.
This big fool in front of you!
"Take it apart and take a look, don't be stunned. ”
Xiao Xiapi opened the gift with a smile, but there was no longer the sense of surprise in her heart.
This is a cherry mechanical keyboard.
Xiao Zhang said: "To translate "The Old Man and the Sea" for my brother, you must prepare a good keyboard, and you can use this in the future, just connect it to your laptop, which is much easier and faster than using a membrane keyboard." ”
Xiao Xia didn't know what a membrane keyboard was, nor did she know what a mechanical keyboard was, but she promised to go back and give it a try.
After the two had dinner, Xiao Zhang proposed to take a walk, but Xiao Xia was in a hurry to go back and had something to do.
Back at home, Xiao Xia took out the keyboard given by Xiao Zhang, picked up the notebook and tried it, and it was really easy to use.
"What a big fool. She whispered.
This keyboard is very petite and easy to carry, and the overall color is white and pink, which is obviously bought for girls, but Xiao Zhang said that he bought it for his cousin, and he didn't want it. Even if you make excuses, find a better one, do you have to find such a clumsy one?!
There are many people like this, who obviously care a lot, but they have to deliberately pretend that they don't care. No wonder Li Xiang slandered Xiao Zhang for chasing Xiao Xia for so long and still hasn't caught up with Xiao Xia, there is a reason.
After washing, Xiao Xia sat at the desk, picked up her phone and sent a message to Xiao Zhang first, informing him that she had arrived home, saying goodnight, and then putting the phone away and pressing it under the pillow. She sat down at her desk again, turned off the lamp in the room, turned on the lamp on her desk, picked up the top book from the pile of books at hand, "Kaobo English Vocabulary", and took notes as she read it.
——
In the evening, Xiao Li's house.
"Don't stuff piglets in your bags! Why do you keep stuffing them in your bags?"
Li Xiang watched helplessly as Dou Dou and Shishi vigorously stuffed pink piggy dolls into the mini suitcase.
Early tomorrow morning, the family will leave for Guangdong.
"We like it duck~" Director Dou said confidently.
The teacher also nodded in agreement.
Li Xiang counted, Dou Dou's suitcase was stuffed with two, but the master had already stuffed three! The two were still not satisfied, and they were still stuffing it inside.
"If you like it, you like it, don't you still have a bag of piggy dolls at your grandmother's house? Why do you have to bring so much? Isn't it okay to bring your little green?" Li Xiang said.
Dou Dou and Shishi thought about it and muttered for a while.
Dou Dou threw the pink piggy doll that was about to be stuffed into the suitcase on the bed. The little pig doll snorted, rolled into the bed and disappeared.
"Okay, let's give the elephant a face. ”
Li Xiang: "......"
He really wanted to tell this little fairy a cruel truth, the little pig she was crying and shouting that she was taken away by Zheng Youshi has now become a fat pig!
Today, Zheng Youshi asked Li Xiang what to do, and after finally discussing, he decided to transport it to the "Yiyuan Qingcai" restaurant tomorrow. The kitchen has been contacted, and it just so happens that the price of pork is soaring and the supply is in short supply, so the pork supply can be eased a little.
