Chapter 101: The Life of Translators
"Xiao Chen, you see that Secretary Wang is also because the reception of German friends is too important, and he is a little anxious to say something unpleasant, don't take it to heart!" When Director Zhang saw the Germans enter the conference room, he hurriedly opened his mouth to start a round for the two.
Which one can be mixed in the political axe is not a spirit that is clear, and can stretch and shrink. With the steps given by Director Zhang, Secretary Wang hurriedly said: "Yes, I'm sorry, classmate Xiao Chen, I'm also because the pressure is too great, and people are too anxious." It's hard to find such a big god of wealth in the city, and if we mess things up because of us, I can't afford to bear the responsibility. There was something offensive between the words just now, and I invited Xiao Chen's classmate Haihan. ”
After apologizing with Chen Chufan, Secretary Wang also took the initiative to walk in front of Chen Zhenquan, took the initiative to stretch out his hands to hold the master's hand, and said ashamedly: "The master is really sorry just now, I am also too young and vigorous, what I said just now is so offended!" ”
To be honest, everyone in the audience was most surprised, but Chen Chufan's father Chen Zhenquan. Of course I know my own son. In the past, in order to let him learn English well, he put a lot of effort into it. When he got the news that his son could study abroad, he was worried about his son's English level. So when Director Zhang pulled his son to deal with the Germans, he was still a little worried. But now, not only is there no problem with my son's English, but he even speaks German so well, which surprises the old man. Is this really his own son? Or how hard your son has to work to master these two foreign languages at the same time!
Of course, surprise is followed by pride. After all, what parent doesn't want his son to get ahead? Especially being able to prove himself in front of his old colleague and Secretary Wang, whose nostrils are sky-high, makes Lao Chen feel very relieved! I've worked hard all my life, isn't it just for this only son.
So Chen Zhenquan, who was in an excellent mood, didn't embarrass the young man too much, but laughed, and then said briskly: "It's okay, it's okay, who doesn't have a hurry to get angry." ”
Then he also said to his son: "Fanfan, Dad is going to do things first, and you are here to help Director Zhang and Secretary Wang do a good job!" ”
Chen Chufan smiled bitterly and nodded. His father has spoken, what else can he say? After he wanted to prove himself, he turned around and left, letting the man surnamed Wang go in a hurry, but thinking that his father and mother still had to live here, of course he couldn't come by his surname, so he could only promise.
"Old Chen? What are you doing today? Seeing that the misunderstanding was successfully resolved, Chen Zhenquan was about to turn around and leave, and Director Zhang hurriedly asked with concern. Chen Zhenquan's son is the one who can save his life now, so it's always interesting to let others help. What's more, this official work has not yet begun. If something happens halfway, this Xiao Chen has taken the burden, where is he looking for a suitable German translator? So Director Zhang has to take a good look at this Master Chen now.
"Come and get a copy of the internal refund application form and prepare to apply for internal refund!" Chen Zhenquan said.
"Retreat? Hey, I said Lao Chen, you are still young, what are you doing in a hurry to retreat. In this way, I'll go back and arrange it for you, it just so happens that Lao Liu in your workshop is old and should retire, how about you take over his shift? "Director Zhang's hand is a bit big, Lao Liu is the workshop director of Chen Zhenquan's workshop. Although the tire factory is not a large factory, the position of workshop director is only a small deputy department, but the size is also an official. It's better than an ordinary worker, I don't know how many times.
Of course, the director of this workshop gave it out, and Director Zhang also had his own considerations. Although Chen Chufan is just a guest translator, he has to deal with these Germans for a week. Maybe you can have some friendship, and when the time comes, maybe there will be a time to ask for this child, and it will not be wrong to envelop his father first. Besides, although there are many people staring at the position of the director of this workshop, in the eyes of Director Zhang, the director of a small workshop is really not a big deal. In particular, this old director Chen Zhang also understands that he used to be a cultural person, educated and honest. I am also conscientious in my work, and it is not a big problem to be a director.
And Chen Zhenquan was a little surprised by Director Zhang's decision. Having been a worker all his life, he really didn't expect that he would be able to be a cadre when he retired. He knew in his heart that this was his son's light, but after all, it was his own son, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. But of course, you have to be modest in words.
"Director Zhang, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this director's position!"
"Okay, Lao Chen, don't be modest. This matter, I think it's so decided, don't go to the internal retreat, go back to the workshop first, and the appointment documents will go down in a few days! Director Zhang said proudly.
"Yes, Master Chen, don't shirk it. Director Zhang still has the wisdom to know people, and you can cultivate such an excellent son, afraid that you can't manage a workshop well? Even Secretary Wang was on the side to help.
He can't do it, this is to add points to his impression in the eyes of the boy. He didn't ask Chen Chufan for anything, he just hoped that Chen Chufan wouldn't speak ill of himself in the next communication with the Germans, and everything would be fine.
Don't say it, Director Zhang's hand is quite effective, at least Chen Chufan, who has not spoken, has a good impression of Uncle Zhang in front of him. Of course, it is excellent for my father to be in a leadership position, at least it is much easier to go to work. Originally, I was still a little unhappy in my heart, but I was also dispelled by Director Zhang's arrangement.
"Okay, then thank you Director Zhang, Secretary Wang. Fanfan, you have to work hard, don't make trouble for Director Zhang and Secretary Wang! Chen Zhenquan was not stupid, he should get off this errand, explained to his son again, and turned around happily. He was afraid that his son would talk big and get into trouble. Now that he has proved that his son is capable of this, of course, there is no need to stay here.
Waiting for Chen Zhenquan to leave, Director Zhang smiled and said to Chen Chufan: "Xiao Chen, I will entrust you with this translation work." The German delegation will be with us for about a week, so you'll have to stay with them the whole time! ”
"No problem, Uncle Zhang, but you'll have to ask my dad for another leave of absence when you go back."
Chen Chufan naturally started his translation career, for a whole week Chen Chufan did not even return home, during the day to cooperate with the group of people's inspection work, at night under the arrangement of the factory, with the group of people to eat and entertain, and then live in the hotel where the group of Germans stayed.
Chen's fluency in German has brought convenience to the Germans, and in the words of the only woman in the group, Bella, it is hard to believe that Chen has never been to Germany. This is thanks to Chen Chufan's super memory ability. Often speaking too much to this group of people, Chen Chufan can master the dialects spoken by different people among them, and then have a surname to talk to these people in their local dialect, that is, the vernacular accent, which is difficult for even a native German to do. Of course, it also made the Germans very satisfied.
Even after Chen Chufan worked as a translator for four days, the municipal axe found a full-time German translator to replace Chen Chufan's work, but was collectively rejected by this group of people.
This made Director Zhang and Secretary Wang look at this young man even more differently. I was also secretly glad that the decision to buy people's hearts was indeed right.
In this way, the inspection work went smoothly. A week of getting along day and night also allowed Chen Chufan to gain the friendship of these German friends. So when this group of German friends completed the investigation work and were about to leave, the scene when they said goodbye to Chen Chufan actually had a bit of reluctance. Especially Bella, when she learned that Chen Chufan was going to study in the United States, she also left Chen Chufan her phone number, and repeatedly asked Chen Chufan to call her when she arrived in the United States, leave his contact information, and she would find an opportunity to go to the United States to see him.
This scene made other German gentlemen complain one after another, and even joked if Bella had a crush on this Chinese boy. The aesthetics of China and foreign countries are different, Chen Chufan feels that this Bella is not exquisite enough, but in the eyes of most people, Bella should definitely be regarded as an exotic beauty.
The complaints of this group of people also made Chen Chufan see the bold surnames of Western beauties, and in the face of everyone's kind coaxing, Bella did not hesitate to give Chen Chufan a warm hug and a warm kiss in response. made our Xiao Chen blush for most of the day. Until this group of people boarded the train, Chen Chufan still felt a fever on his face. You must know that he was not the only one to say goodbye, Director Zhang, Secretary Wang, and several leaders of S City were all on the side.
They couldn't understand the words of this group of people, so when Bella suddenly made such an ambiguous move, the eyes of these big people looking at Chen Chufan changed.
After the German friends left and accompanied Director Zhang to send the leaders of the city away, Chen Chufan got into Director Zhang's car.
"Xiao Chen, how does this foreign girl feel?" As soon as he got in the car, Director Zhang quipped.
"Please, Uncle Zhang, don't tease me!" Xiao Chen said with a wry smile
Xiao Chen's translation work this week has been very comfortable. He didn't know that the club had recorded a video for him, but it surprised several foreign professors thousands of miles away
The whole edited video is about 20 minutes long, and Chen Chufan showed his talents in piano, guitar, and saxophone. Although individually, Chen Chufan's skills will not surprise these professors too much. But together it is different.
It is said that there is a specialization in the art industry, and of course this is especially true of musical instruments. If all three were of the same type, it might not surprise a few old professors, but a stringed instrument, a woodwind instrument, a keyboard instrument, a plucked instrument, a blow instrument, and a strumming instrument, all of which were so good at everything, were something that several people had never seen before.
"What do you think, Hansen?" Watching the video, the only female surname among the five professors asked.
"Although his guitar playing hand shape is a bit weird, it's fine, and I think his fingering is very creative and worth learning from." Professor Hansen spread his hands and spoke.
"Yes, Professor Kaplinfin, if you called us here to find out the traces of this Chinese student's cheating, then you can only say sorry. His saxophone seems to be blowing by himself, at least his hand movements and the rhythm of his blowing, I don't see anything wrong! A gray-haired but spirited old professor sitting next to Professor Hansen spoke.
"Then the piano playing is even more problematic. So, this young man is really proficient in all three musical instruments? How old is he? How? The female professor known as Kaplingfen said in some surprise. Well, I suggest that when he comes to report, we will personally assess his professional skills, and oh my God, I am looking forward to seeing this amazing young man from the East. ”
A professor with glasses, who had not spoken, finally concluded: "Okay, Professor Kaplinfen, keep up your expectations, I'm sure he'll be at the academy soon, how about next month?" ”
