"yes, that's right. The man looked at Chen Mengran appreciatively.

Not only is it all right, but there are two translation questions that are better than the original answers. The original answer was a very popular translation, but Chen Mengran simply translated it into an idiom, and the whole paragraph was simpler and clearer, and this kind of translation ability also made the male protagonist look at Chen Mengran with admiration.

"What's your name?" This was the first time he asked Chen Mengran's name, and Chen Mengran also knew that he had already passed the test.

"Chen Mengran. ”

"My surname is Gao, my name is Gao Zhiqiang, and this is my wife. ”

"Hello Mr. Gao. ”

Gao Zhiqiang nodded with satisfaction, and it could be seen that the young man in front of him not only spoke English very well, but also understood the world.

Just as he was about to nod and admit Chen Mengran, Gao Zhiqiang's wife next to him suddenly said, "You won't have done these questions, right?"

Her words were questioning, this can't be blamed on her, Chen Mengran's ability is a little incredible, she believes that the English level 6 question type is difficult for a high-achieving student who has passed English level 8, but if it only takes half an hour to complete, and it is all right, this can't help but make people wonder.

Gao Zhiqiang also instantly understood what his wife meant, and his eyes, which were originally impressed by Chen Mengran, also oozed a trace of suspicion.

Seeing such an attitude of the two of them, in order to show their "innocence", Chen Mengran made a move, he directly raised his right hand, put his five fingers together, and made an oath: "Of course not, I swear, if I did, let me go out and be hit by a car." ”

Gao Zhiqiang and his wife glanced at each other and felt funny. This young man is really interesting, he was very mature in his speech and demeanor just now, but now he looks like a child.

Li Mengxi also secretly scolded Chen Mengran: "What a stupid person, rich people will believe you, you think you are acting in a movie, quickly put your hands down." ”

Chen Mengran put down his hand stupidly, coughed, relieved the embarrassing atmosphere, and said, "Otherwise, you can get me a new set of test questions and retake the test again, won't you be able to prove whether I have done it or not?"

What he said makes sense, if Chen Mengran did the last volume of the test questions, then it is impossible for him to do it all if he comes out with another volume.

But how could Gao Zhiqiang prepare so many test questions, so he couldn't get another volume at all.

When Gao Zhiqiang was hesitating to use what method to use to verify that Chen Mengran had real talent and learning, his wife suddenly whispered to him, Gao Zhiqiang only felt that his eyes lit up, nodded, and said something to the nanny next to him, the nanny went upstairs, and soon came down again, holding an English magazine in her hand

The name of this magazine is National Geographic, and you can tell from the name that it is about the geography and culture of the United States.

This is Gao Zhiqiang's subscription to his daughter, who is going to study in the United States in the future, of course, she must prepare for her to study abroad in advance, so that she can be familiar with the geography and culture of the United States as soon as possible, and she can adapt to the environment there as soon as possible.

Because the magazine contains a lot of American place names and words that are not commonly used, it is also quite large, comparable to English level 6. Of course, Gao Zhiqiang's daughter can't understand such a magazine, she only reads the Chinese translation part of it.

Gao Zhiqiang opened the magazine casually, then tore off a page of the Chinese translation of the magazine, gave the magazine to Chen Mengran, pointed to one of the pages and said, "Translate its contents." ”

Chen Mengran looked at the whole page of English words, and his intuition swelled, one out of every ten words was something he didn't know, and the difficulty seemed to be greater than that of level six.

"It's up to you. Chen Mengran said secretly to Li Mengxi.

"Leave it to me. After Li Mengxi finished speaking, he began to translate.

She said a word, Chen Mengran followed a sentence, and soon, a whole page of English was translated by Chen Mengran.

Gao Zhiqiang and his wife looked at the torn off Chinese translation in their hands, and listened to Chen Mengran's translation sentence by sentence, only to feel that every sentence was accurate, and two long sentences were shortened a lot by him with idioms.

"Okay, Xiao Chen, from now on, I will officially hire you as my daughter's tutor. Gao Zhiqiang said.

"So now let's talk about my daughter's situation, my daughter Tongtong is seventeen years old this year, in her second year of high school, her English score is not very good, she has just passed every exam, and she ranks outside the forty in her class. So I took advantage of this summer vacation to find a tutor to make up for her. ”

Chen Mengran said: "If it is a simple make-up class, why should you find someone who has passed English level 6, level 4 is enough, and why do you have to have the experience of going abroad, but also understand American history, I think, Mr. Gao's finding a tutor is not just as simple as improving your daughter's grades." ”

Gao Zhiqiang and his wife glanced at each other, and were a little surprised that Chen Mengran could see that he was tired from this short message.

"Just call me Uncle Gao, and call me Mr. Gao Zhiqiang laughed.

Chen Mengran called Uncle Gao, Gao Zhiqiang nodded with satisfaction, took out a cigarette, and was about to point it, but he felt that this was not good, and said to Chen Mengran: "Don't mind?"

Chen Mengran secretly said This is your home, even if I mind, I don't dare to say I don't mind.

Shaking his head and laughing, "Of course not." ”

Gao Zhiqiang lit the cigarette, took a deep puff of smoke rings, and then said: "You guessed right, what you have to do is not only to improve Tongtong's grades, but also to tell him more about the history and culture of the United States." I plan to let my daughter study in the United States after the college entrance examination is over, so I want to ask a tutor to tell her about the culture there, so that she can have the most basic oral communication with foreigners. ”

"I see, I just said, there must be something greasy in this, it turned out to be planning for my daughter to study abroad in the future. In the depths of his mind, Li Mengxi said, "However, if you want her to be familiar with the cultural geography of the United States and skillfully communicate with foreigners, it is not a matter of one or two days, does this Gao Zhiqiang want to hire you for a long time?"

Chen Mengran secretly replied: "Even if he wants to, I don't have time to serve." ”

"Uncle Gao, if you want your daughter to be familiar with American culture and geography and skillfully communicate with foreigners, it is not a matter of one or two days. Chen Mengran said to Gao Zhiqiang.

"yes, so, I'm ready to hire you for a long time. ”

"You're right again. Chen Mengran secretly said to Li Mengxi, with an embarrassed expression on his face: "What's this?"

Chen Mengran was very embarrassed, he was just making some extra money for a short time, and in two months, school was about to start, so how could he have time.

But of course, this reason can't be said, and if you say it, you will reveal your real age. Just when Chen Mengran was thinking about another reason in his heart, he heard Gao Zhiqiang say: "Since your English level has passed level 8, of course I can't set the price for you according to the market price, I am ready to give you 200 yuan an hour, two hours a day, and the salary is calculated weekly, how about it?"

Two hundred in one hour, two hours in a day, that is, four hundred. Four hundred a day, four thousand in ten days, and a month later, God, isn't that ten thousand.

Chen Mengran calculated with his brain that only scored 70 points in mathematics in the college entrance examination, and when the final result was obtained, he felt a bang in his mind, and the whole brain had a short circuit, and it was blank.

Gao Zhiqiang saw that after he finished talking about the reward, Chen Mengran was expressionless, his eyes were stunned, thinking that he was not satisfied with the reward he gave, he coughed, and said: "Otherwise, I will add another sixty yuan, and give you two hundred and sixty yuan an hour, and try it for a month first, if Tongtong's grades have improved significantly, I will consider giving you a salary increase, how about it?"

He wanted to say that he would add fifty dollars, but this plus would become two hundred and five, which didn't sound good, so he temporarily opened his mouth to sixty.

Chen Mengran had already recovered from the generous reward, and when he heard Gao Zhiqiang say this, he thought about it again.

One hour and two hundred and six, two hours a day, that is, five hundred and two. Five hundred and two in a day, ten days is five thousand two, and a month is counted as thirty days, that is, my God, fifteen thousand six.

rumble

Chen Mengran's brain was blown blank again.

Seeing that Chen Mengran still didn't say anything, Gao Zhiqiang and his wife glanced at each other, it is said that such a price is already very high, even if the other party is not ecstatic, he can't be so calm, is he still not satisfied?

Li Mengxi couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded: "I said, can you have a little fun." ”

Chen Mengran finally came back to her senses again, glanced at Gao Zhiqiang and her wife, who were staring at her with a puzzled face, and smiled slightly, alleviating the embarrassment just now.

"Xiao Chen, what do you think of the price I said?" Gao Zhiqiang asked with a smile.

"I think it's pretty good. Chen Mengran tried his best not to tremble.

It's not bad, Gao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, now I am a tutor a hundred per hour, and some are less, I give more than twice as much, but in exchange for only one sentence, it is not bad, which makes Gao Zhiqiang feel funny.

"When I was in the United States, I also worked as a tutor for a period of time, teaching those American children Chinese, and the price at that time was more than 200 per hour, but people gave dollars. Chen Mengran said nonsense.

Li Mengxi secretly rolled his eyes and complained: "Please, you have to make a draft if you brag, do you know how much two hundred dollars are converted into yuan, there are more than a thousand yuan, even if Lao Mei is rich, it is impossible to be so bad." ”

Chen Mengran smiled awkwardly again, he really didn't know the exchange rate ratio here, he only knew that the dollar was valuable, he didn't expect it to be so valuable, and he also felt that he was blowing a little too much, it's okay, Gao Zhiqiang didn't know the tutor market over there, so he didn't doubt it.

"Since it has been agreed, then I will come over tomorrow, and the time is from nine to eleven o'clock in the morning. ”

"Good. Chen Mengran nodded in agreement.

After the negotiation, Chen Mengran knew that it was time for him to leave.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Mengran walked out of the villa. At the moment when the iron door closed, he could no longer hide the excitement in his heart, raised his fist high, and shouted: "Yay." ”

This voice also vented all the suppressed excitement in his heart.

"It worked. Chen Mengran shouted in his heart.

"To be honest, even I didn't expect it to be so successful. Li Mengxi said.

"yes, it was a success. Fifteen thousand six hundred in a month, ten months is one hundred and fifty-six thousand, twelve months in a year, that is, it is ......"

Chen Mengran's mind couldn't turn around, he bent down and tried to convert it on the ground with his hand, but Li Mengxi's words woke him up from his obscenity.

"Don't think about a year yet, our agreement didn't last that long. ”

Chen Mengran remembered the agreement with Li Mengxi at this time, and his fiery heart was like falling into ice water, and it cooled down instantly.

"At the beginning, we agreed that we would just let you earn enough money to be a waiter for two months, how much, oh yes, it was 3,300 yuan. So now, let's recalculate, five hundred and two a day, seven days is three thousand six hundred and four, that is to say, you can earn two months' salary as a waiter in a week, and there are three hundred and forty yuan more, which is cheaper for you. ”

"Sister, don't be like this. Chen Mengran watched a mountain of gold disappear in front of him.

"What's the matter, I'm just doing what I agreed. ”

"Can the agreement be changed, after so many days together, you also know my situation, I urgently need this money now, you can take it as charity." ”

"I'm already doing charity, you've been a waiter for two months and you're tired and tired, and I'll let you get it easily in a week, don't you think it's very charitable for you?"

"I know that my eldest sister is very charitable to me, but it is too dishonest to pick a child after a week. ”

"Didn't you quit after only four days as a waiter?"

No matter how Chen Mengran defended and pleaded, Li Mengxi was indifferent, just said that he would do things according to the agreement, which made Chen Mengran have a big headache. The soft one can't do it, then it has to be hard, Chen Mengran was ruthless, and said: "If you don't help me, I will throw the stone into the sea, so that you will be trapped in it for the rest of your life and can't get out." ”

Li Mengxi was silent for a while, and finally made a concession.

"Well, a month, just a month. ”

In a month, that is 15,600 yuan. Chen Mengran immediately nodded in agreement, he knew that this was already Li Mengxi's bottom line, and he had no choice but to make an inch, this fifteen,600 yuan was enough for his tuition and a year's living expenses, and he didn't have to ask his parents for money this year, and he could also fill in a few brand new pieces of furniture for the house.

Of course, in addition to the above, Chen Mengran also has her own little abacus in her heart, Li Mengxi's soul is trapped by the meteorite space and cannot leave, so it means that she will be with herself for the rest of her life, as long as she helps her fulfill her last wish, she will have nothing to ask for, and when the time comes, she will persuade her to work willingly for herself, wouldn't she be the God of Wealth for a lifetime.

Chen Mengran returned to the clothing store where he rented clothes, changed the rented clothes, and gave the shopkeeper sixty yuan.

This time, Chen Mengran was not as heartbroken as he was at the beginning, he would earn 15,000 yuan a month in the future, and a mere sixty yuan was nothing.

After returning home, Chen Mengran did not tell his parents such good news, they knew best how many catties and taels his son had, if he knew that Chen Mengran could make so much money, maybe he would get to the bottom of it, Chen Mengran could not tell the secret of the stone, let alone lie to them, so it was the best choice not to say anything.

In the afternoon, Chen Mengran was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, very bored. There is no longer the heavy homework in high school, and there is no need to work as a waiter to make money so desperately, Chen Mengran feels very bored, he always feels that it is a pity to waste time like this, why not look for a job anymore, didn't he also copy a recruitment information.

Saying his thoughts, Li Mengxi said angrily: "You really have to inch in." ”

"It's not, it's just boring, you don't want to be so boring, you want to go out and see it, do you?"

"It's a bit boring. ”

"Do you agree, then?"

"Well, anyway, it's agreed for a month, and doing one is doing, and two is also doing, and it doesn't take much brain. Li Mengxi finally agreed.

Chen Mengran was ecstatic, two part-time jobs a day, then in a month, he would earn more than 15,600, this time he was really rich. Immediately went out.
