Chapter Seventy-Four: You, I'm Going to Settle
Yang Guo ate much faster than Zheng Yujie, after all, the noodles were freshly cooked, and the soup was still steaming! After eating, Yang Guo stood up and put the bag in the trash.
He said, "Miss Zheng, you eat slowly first, and I'll take a shower." ”
Zheng Yujie didn't have time to take care of him, and took care of the food in front of him. I really don't think of myself as a guest anymore, Yang Guo scratched his head in embarrassment, he couldn't help her, so he went back to the room to get a change of clothes.
When he came out, Yang Guo still kept an eye on it, locked the bedroom door where Qiqi was sleeping, and walked into the bathroom with the key.
"It's full!" A few minutes later, Zheng Yujie put down the big bowl heavily, put down the chopsticks, and then sat on the chair with a long sigh of satisfaction, "It's so delicious!" I can't imagine that a man has such amazing craftsmanship, I really can't see it! ”
She hadn't even let go of the soup just now, and the whole bowl had been licked clean by her like a kitten. But after a while, Zheng Yujie touched her little belly with a sad face and said to herself: "Oh, what should I do?" It seems that I have eaten too much, I must have exceeded the standard today, no, I am going to get fat again, I blame this dead Yang Guo! Why do you make it so delicious! ”
After saying that, she slapped the table hatefully, as if Yang Guo was the culprit, and then she was discouraged again, and muttered: "No, I can't beat him, he is so tall!" It's not scientific for a southerner to look like this! The old lady is a model figure of 1.7 meters, and it is only to his chest. ”
Thinking about Yang Guo's manly body at the door just now, Zheng Yujie's cheeks were a little red, she pretended to be shy, covered her hot cheeks, and said to herself: "It's not that I haven't seen a handsome pot, Xiao Jiejie, why are you blushing so easily?" ”
Suddenly, there was a baby's cry in the bedroom, the sound was very loud, and even Zheng Yujie, who was separated by a door and a living room, could hear it clearly.
"Huh, what's going on?" Zheng Yujie stood up suspiciously and took two steps forward, "How can there be a child's voice?" Could it be a ringtone? ”
"Right now! Right away! Dad will be there soon. Yang Guo's shout came from the bathroom.
With a "bang", the bathroom door was opened, and Yang Guo rushed out impatiently while putting his shirt on his head, and almost collided with Zheng Yujie when he rushed through the living room.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yang Guo rushed to the bedroom without looking back, twisted the key, opened the door and walked in.
Although it was only a glimpse, Zheng Yujie still saw Yang Guo's upper body that had just been exposed, with thick and powerful two large chest muscles and strong and distinct eight-pack abdominal muscles, which almost didn't flash into Zheng Yujie's eyes. Yang Guo was different from the muscular men she had seen in the gym before, he was not so stout, and even when he wore clothes, he would be misunderstood as a tall scholar.
His muscles belong to the kind of ones that do not show mountains and rivers under the clothes, but if you take off your clothes, they are very beautiful, which makes the little girls dizzy, and with his height of about 1.87 meters and long thighs, even if Zheng Yujie, who is "well-informed" in the gym, can't help but cover her mouth, so she didn't scream.
Yang Guo had already walked out with Kiki in her arms at this time, and Kiki, who had just gotten up and didn't see her father, was now confused, her eyelashes were stained with early morning dewdrops, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was so pitiful.
"Don't cry, Kiki, isn't Daddy here? Why are you crying again? Yang Guo coaxed, and he gently wiped the tears from Qiqi's face with his left hand. Although she didn't cry, Kiki was still a little aggrieved and confused, she shrunk her hands in front of her, and her little head got into her father's neck and twisted, especially relying on the smell of her father.
Seeing that there was an extra child in the room, Zheng Yujie's eyes were round, and she finally understood what the little rocking chair in the room was about, it turned out to be not a decoration!
No, doesn't his profile say 24 years old and unmarried? Zheng Yujie was confused.
"Yang Guo," Zheng Yujie asked hesitantly, "What is this?" ”
Yang Guo raised his head and smiled, "This is my daughter, Qiqi." ”
Zheng Yujie only felt that a large group of alpacas and llamas were running wildly in her heart, why did all the high-quality men in the world get married? She said embarrassedly, "What about your lady?" I'm not going to cause her misunderstanding here, am I? ”
Yang Guo was stunned for a moment, and he smiled: "No, no, I'm not married, where is the lady?" Looking at Zheng Yujie's more confused eyes, Yang Guo had to briefly introduce his own situation, every time he met someone, he had to talk about it once, Yang Guo felt that he could prepare a set of rhetoric, and memorize it every time.
It turned out that this was the case, Zheng Yujie suddenly realized, and praised in her heart: "What a man who dares to take responsibility!" It's a pity...... Ahem, Xiao Jiejie, your heart is rippling again! ”
Taking advantage of the time when Yang Guo was making milk powder for Qiqi, Zheng Yujie visited Yang Guo's study, like Duan Xueqing, she was also frightened by so many foreign language books in Yang Guo's study, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese...... Looking at the dense notes on it, Zheng Yujie can be sure that these books are not placed on it to fool people, but the owner has really read them.
Although Zheng Yujie is not from a language background, she also understood how difficult it is to master a foreign language when she studied college English in order to take the fourth and sixth grades.
Zheng Yujie also saw a lot of books on translation theory, and she nodded secretly in her heart: "Working so hard, no wonder I turned it so well, I really came to the right place this time!" Will he accept my offer, though? Zheng Yujie's confidence in this point is a little lacking, because as the deputy editor-in-chief of Dongxin Publishing House, she has also come into contact with some academic leaders, and she found that although they are usually very amiable, they have their own persistence in their professional fields, and they can even be said to be stubborn!
Although Yang Guo is not yet a master, he is also a very talented person, will he be as stubborn as them?
After everyone sat down calmly, Zheng Yujie stopped grinding and went straight to the point.
"Yang Guo, I came this time to persuade you to join our project team in person!" Zheng Yujie said.
"Well, I understand what you mean, but I actually made it very clear yesterday, either I translate it alone, or I can only quit, there are so many people in four, it really affects the quality of the translation." Yang Guo shook his head and said.
Zheng Yujie twisted her body, frowned and said: "You know this is impossible, to tell you the truth, we received a notice from a foreign copyright owner a few days ago, and the perspective of our publication has mentioned that on November 21 this year, a book of more than 500,000 words, it is completely impossible for one person to do it!" ”
Yang Guo thought about it, more than 500,000, two months, it is true that one person can't do it all, even if he is himself, translating day and night for a month, it is estimated that he can only translate 200,000 words. After all, this is a work! It's not an ordinary technical document, it's not just three times more difficult, at least five times more difficult!
He shook his head and said, "It's really not good, then I can only say I'm sorry, I really don't want the four of you to turn it over together, you better ask for another master." ”
Zheng Yujie was unwilling to give up, she stubbornly continued: "Why are you so stubborn? Didn't you really crave this opportunity? It's so rare, how can you say that you give up and give up? ”
"I used to think like this, but now it's different!" Yang Guo said, "I don't want such an important book to be destroyed in my hands, and then it will be scolded in exchange for a lot of scolding." ”
"But you're willing someone else to ruin it?" Zheng Yujie glared at Yang Guo and said, "Why are you so irresponsible? ”
The expression on Yang Guo's face froze.
There is a door! Zheng Yujie saw a crack appear in Yang Guo's tight city wall.
She hurriedly struck the iron while the fire was burning and said: "Do you think, how much you valued this book before, this is written by Jobs, the master of his hand-picking, and it is the only biography authorized by him!" You can't bear to ruin it by translating a translation that you can't even read? You know, you had a chance to save it! Are you willing to sit idly by? ”
Yang Guo frowned and said, "Then what can it be?" If I don't sit by, do I still be the executioner myself? ”
"You can do your best to make us better!" Zheng Yujie said.
"What do you mean?"
Zheng Yujie smiled, she sold a pass first, and said, "Do you know why I came to you in person?" ”
"Why?" Yang Guo has always had questions about this issue.
"Because you were the number one among all the translators, because your translation was the only one that could impress all the judges, because only your article made me feel the urge to buy it as soon as I saw it, you know? It's for these reasons that I slapped the table yesterday and quarreled with my boss, no one can do it, but you, I'm going to decide! Zheng Yujie said this, and also found the ambiguity in his last sentence, and his face turned slightly red.
"That's what it meant anyway, so I flew over from the capital overnight!" Zheng Yujie said.
Her words moved Yang Guo a little, but it didn't solve the problem, Yang Guo said: "And then? What are you going to do? ”
"Don't say anything about giving up, come and help me! I can give you the greatest authority, I will let you be the leader and consultant of the four-person translation team, you do your best to translate, I will give you as many manuscripts as I can, I can also make the decision to let you do the final polishing of other people's translations, and if you think it is not good, you can revise it according to your ideas. What do you think? Zheng Yujie has lost all her hole cards this time, if Yang Guo doesn't let go, she doesn't know how to get better.
Yang Guo's eyes widened under Zheng Yujie's shimmering gaze and said, "Are you sure?" Isn't that too much of a privilege you're giving? Can it really work? "It's not just big! This is simply leaving the entire project to Yang Guo to deal with.
Zheng Yujie nodded hurriedly, and she said: "At present, I am solely responsible for this book, and everything I say counts!" ”
Zheng Yujie is indeed a child of an official eunuch, and her family background is not simple. She became the deputy editor-in-chief at the age of twenty-six, and the elders of the family contributed a lot, but this also caused her to be questioned by everyone in the publishing house.
This is the first time she has led a team to do a project alone, and it is also her opportunity to prove herself, in order to be able to keep Yang Guo, she did not hesitate to fly from the capital to Yangcheng overnight, in order to be able to do her best, she did not hesitate to give most of her power to Yang Guo. This time I must impress everyone, I, Zheng Yujie, am not a second-generation official who only relies on relationships!
Yang Guo thought about it for a long time, suddenly raised his head, looked at Zheng Yujie's eyes, and said seriously: "If it is really as you say, I accept it!" ”
Zheng Yujie was overjoyed, took out a contract from her bag, and said with a smile: "Okay, sign it!" ”
