Jolene went to work as a translator in Tianjin, and on the eve of departure, her sister was busy writing an experiment report, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night in her sister's apartment. The next morning, she got up and put on makeup, but to her surprise, her sister had already dressed up.

In the year since she broke up with her ex-boyfriend, for Qiao Lu, applying a layer of isolation, a layer of BB cream, and a little lipstick is considered makeup. But this time it was different, she drew it in detail, as if she was going on a very important date.

"I went to wash up first, there was my warm bread and milk on the table, and after I left, I needed to take anything with me, and I packed it up and took it with me. ”

Qiao Lu gave a series of orders, and Qiao Lin just nodded mechanically. As soon as she turned around, Qiao Lu gagged her: "I just went to see a friend, no fuss." ”

"That'...... What kind of friend is it?"

Qiao Nan once complained to her sister that as long as Qiao Lin was at home, he couldn't hide any secrets. Qiao Lu deeply understood his hardships at that time, having a little sister by his side was equivalent to putting a message by his side.

Qiao Lu said: "It's just a friend I haven't seen for a long time, he owes me a little money, and he wants to return the money to me today, OK?"

Jolene made a so-so OK gesture and went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. It's just to collect debts, and she has to dress up so well? Jolene just hates that time is not coincidental, if she is still in Beijing, she must be going to follow her sister.

"Qiao Lin, won't Sun Ruiyang go to Tianjin with you?"

"He can't go, he's been doing experiments for the past few days!"

"Do you have enough money on you?"

"Enough! My tickets are all given by their company, and they have all the food and accommodation, and they will stay in a four-star hotel at night! But I heard that their head lives in a five-star hotel, and we who work live in a four-star hotel. ”

"That company is really, how much more can a five-star be more expensive than a four-star? However, after you become a simultaneous interpreter, you will also be treated as a five-star hotel. ”

For Qiao Lin, a student party of the year, staying in a four-star hotel was also satisfying. At that time, she had only stayed in two or three star-rated hotels, and they were all in Min Jia's light. Jolene had a very comfortable stay and remember that the buffet at the hotel was delicious and full every time.

"Where can the interpreter have enough to eat? When people are eating, the interpreter can't eat, so he has to be a microphone. You'd better put a snack in your bag so you don't get exhausted. ”

"Got it!"

Before Qiao Lu went out, she took out a small shoulder bag of Coach from the closet and said, "The backpack is used to carry luggage, and when you go out to translate, you will take this bag with you." ”

"But ......"

"After all, when you are a translator, you are not a student, don't let the student's popularity be so obvious. If you're still a student, people may not trust you. Qiao Lu explained: "I can also give you a more expensive bag." But for your age, carrying a bag that is too extravagant will make people feel flashy. So, this package is the best for you. ”

Jolene was teary-eyed, except for her sister, who could be so attentive and help her take care of everything?

Qiao Lu took out a few pink bills from her purse, and Qiao Lin hurriedly took them with both hands with a smile and said, "Thank you for the reward!"

"Protect yourself when you're out and about, call me if there's anything. ”

After getting on the high-speed train, Jolene was happy. Although she is still a student party, she has the feeling of an urban white-collar worker going on a business trip. During this time, she has long been familiar with the information given by the company, so she is very much looking forward to the upcoming translation debut.

She used to work as a "local escort", accompanying foreign tourists to visit Beijing's famous attractions. But the requirements for translation are not very high, even if there is something that is not clear, she can jump over, or use body language, she can always fool her, and those foreigners who come to play will not be more serious;

But this time the translation is different. Jolene flipped through the schedule, starting with a welcome ceremony, then a briefing on the project, and then a factory tour. After all this is over, there will be a very formal meeting on the last day to make a final evaluation of the project by the US side. Rhubarb told Jolene that if she had to make a small black room at the meeting, she would be going to do simultaneous interpretation, and the only difference between this translation and simultaneous interpretation was that there was no small black room for the interpreter to hide.

The translation itself is very difficult, so the price offered is acceptable. I work a few hours a day, but the daily salary is 1,200 yuan, and Jolene goes to work for five days, so she doesn't have to worry about living expenses for the next semester.

Of course, this price can't hire a professional simultaneous interpreter, but for Jolene at that time, she was still very satisfied. My sister also said that more money and less money are secondary, mainly because it can be written in the resume, and the meaning of this job cannot be measured by money.

Jolene had already calculated that this money would not only be used for her living expenses, but also for her little nephew to buy gifts. Min Jia's baby is about to be born, she is going to be a little aunt, and of course she has to buy gifts for the two babies. She also wanted to buy her parents, who had always been frugal, a new outfit for them to show off in front of their neighbors.

Qiao Lu listened to her plan and said with a smile: "It is said that the girl is a little padded jacket, which is true." Look at Qiao Nan, when did he buy things for his parents? They all gave money directly, so he didn't bother to work picking gifts. ”

Jolene immediately remembered the only birthday gift he had ever bought for herself, which was the two-piece set of a schoolboy hat and scarf. Jolene was so disgusted that she went home and gave it to the baby. But the two-piece set almost became the last gift he gave himself, so when the baby had enough to wear, Jolene bought a new set for her, and redeemed the one her brother gave her.

Although she kept the gift away, thinking of her brother's bad aesthetics, she still felt that he should not buy anything, just give money.

It's strange to think about it, Wen Jing is a person who pays attention to the quality of life, but Qiao Nan is a rough man who is not particular. Can the two of them live together? Won't Wen Jing be so angry with him that she vomits blood?

But Jolene was overwhelmed, and the two lived happily together, and her sister-in-law rarely lost her temper, leaving all her tenderness to her family, and patiently teaching the wild man to learn to live.

After getting off the train, Jolene took a taxi to the hotel. The scenery along the way evoked her memories, and the last time I came here was to watch Kaka with Sun Ruiyang. It's a pity that after all these years, her Italian is still at the same level, and in her words, she will always be an "advanced beginner".

This time she didn't dare to play, and when she arrived at the hotel, she read the information several times. When it was time for dinner, she was about to go downstairs for a buffet when she suddenly received a call from the female clerk. The female staff just wanted to confirm with her tomorrow's process, and by the way, ask her if she was ready to go wrong.

"Tomorrow's welcome is important, and so is the next meeting, so don't go wrong. The product introduction I sent you, as well as the evaluation criteria, must be remembered clearly. ”

Jolene was taken aback and asked, "Did you send it to me?"

The other side also panicked: "Huh? Didn't I send it to you? Impossible! Such an important thing ......."

Qiao Lin immediately turned back, turned on the computer, reconfirmed the email, and said, "There are only three materials you sent me, one is your company's introduction, the other is the introduction of the American evaluation agency, and the other is your product description." There is nothing else but that. ”

The female clerk was obviously incoherent: "I didn't send such an important thing......? Besides, I didn't send it, won't you give it to me?"

Jolene only felt a surge of anger rush up, she took a deep breath, and said, "Please calm down, I've emailed you three times. The first time, please send me all the materials you need, the second time, after receiving the materials you gave me, I asked you again, is this all? You said yes, and the third time, after I have translated all the materials, I send you an e-mail asking you if there are any additional materials, please send them to me in time, you said yes. ”

Jolene wondered if the clerk thought she was a bully because she was still a student and didn't have any workplace experience, but the evidence of the email exchange was here, and she was not afraid of anyone holding her accountable.

The female clerk lowered her voice and pleaded with a cry: "Teacher Qiao, maybe I missed it...... I'll send it to you right now, please, work hard tonight, okay?"

“…… Then you can send it to me as soon as possible!"

"Okay...... Can you not tell anyone else? If our leaders find out......"

Alas, if you are so afraid of losing your job, why do you have to do this? Jolene agreed to her request, but gasped the moment she received the email. Thirty pages of A4 paper, how could she read it in one night?

It seems that not only do you not have to eat the buffet, but you don't even have to sleep. Fortunately, under Rhubarb's devil training, Jolene's speed reading level has improved by leaps and bounds, and she can basically do ten lines at a glance except for a few rare words. But at the end of the day, she still had to memorize important things. Before you know it, it's eleven o'clock in the evening.

Jolene was woken up by the ringing of her phone, and she looked up from the thick papers, only to find that she was hungry and dizzy. The call came from the female staff member, who said that she had bought Jolene a KFC package, but she didn't know which room Jolene was in, and she didn't know where to send it.

Jolene went downstairs to see her in person, she should have cried secretly, her eyes were red, and she apologized to Jolene vigorously, so that Jolene must have eaten the burger while it was hot. Jolene was still very angry, but seeing that she was not young and sincere, she politely said goodbye to her.

Jolene took the KFC back to the room, and inadvertently looked downstairs and saw the female clerk waiting for the bus. It's so late, and I don't know if I can get a taxi. She just graduated from college, and she must still be very unskilled in her work, and this mistake made her feel that the sky had fallen. If Jolene had really messed up the translator and put the blame on her, she might have lost her job the next day.

Qiao Lin silently bit her lip and said to herself, "I will do my best to do my best, you can do it too!"
