Chapter 100: Who Do You Say Can't?
Director Zhang pulled Chen Chufan into the office building and went straight to the conference room. Chen Zhenquan thought about it, but he still didn't worry about his son having such a big deal, so he followed behind the two. Originally, Chen Zhenquan was not qualified to be an ordinary worker in this matter, but who let him have a good son who knew German? Therefore, Director Zhang didn't say much about Chen Zhenquan's self-assertion and following the two of them.
At the door of the conference room, I saw a well-dressed man about thirty years old pacing back and forth anxiously. Seeing Director Zhang leading a young man to appear in the corridor, he hurriedly greeted him: "Old Zhang, this is the professional translator you are looking for?" ”
"Secretary Wang, you can't find anyone when you contact the government, where can I find a professional German translator at this time! This child is the son of an old worker in our factory, and he is the son of Chen Zhenquan. I'm still a college student. Speaks some German. Isn't this just for him to respond to emergencies! Director Zhang pointed to Chen Zhenquan, who was following him, and explained.
Secretary Wang glanced suspiciously at Chen Chufan, who was standing behind Director Zhang. Still a student? What is a college student? I graduated from a prestigious university!
"Director Zhang, this kid is not good, this time it is a political task, and he is receiving foreign friends. And it's the leader who finally won this opportunity, don't mess it up! ”
Chen Chufan, who was standing on the side, didn't mention how tired he was. You say that this factory director is about the same age as his father, just call his own child, this Secretary Wang in the mouth of Director Zhang, looks like he is only twenty or thirty years old, and he also calls himself a child, who is your child! Besides, you have to ask me if I can do it? What do you mean by asking Director Zhang? Look down on me.
Especially when Director Zhang introduced himself, he also pointed to his father, but Secretary Wang didn't even look at his father at all, which made Chen Chufan feel even more uncomfortable.
If it was half a year ago, Chen Chufan really wouldn't care about these details. But it's different now, Xiao Chen really can't see anyone playing in front of his family like this.
So without waiting for Director Zhang to reply, Chen Chufan said goodbye first: "Uncle Zhang, since you don't have to worry about me coming to be the translator, then I'll leave first." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the two to say anything, Chen Chufan turned around and pulled his father, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait, wait!" Director Zhang hurriedly stopped Xiao Chen's father and son, and then said to Secretary Wang: "Hey Secretary Wang, it's time for this, no matter what, let that young man try!" ”
Chen Chufan's words made Secretary Wang unhappy. Speaking of this secretary Wang's identity is not low, he is the full-time secretary of Mayor Liao of S City. Mayor Liao is one of the top deputy mayors of S City, and his main responsibility is for industry and investment promotion. Therefore, this time the German company came to invest in the tire factory, and let its secretary receive the whole process.
Although in front of Mayor Liao, Secretary Wang has always been a humble image. However, in the face of these corporate CEOs who often bend to meet each other, Secretary Wang is still quite arrogant, and today he was suddenly pushed up by a student, of course, he was not happy.
"I said Lao Zhang, you are in a hurry to go to the doctor! Do you think college students are worth a lot of money now? There are many such college students in our city government, and their eyes are above the top, so don't they all do some miscellaneous work? What's more, he hasn't graduated yet! Today's children can memorize two German words and dare to say that they know German! Do you really dare to believe them? Secretary Wang said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Chen Chufan really didn't feel anything, the recent adventures have brought him into contact with many people with status, such as Han Xiaoxi's father Secretary Han, such as Director Chen of the police station, and even the old monk in Guiyuan Temple has the identity of a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
I have come into contact with more people with status, and my vision is much higher. And Chen Chufan is still a student after all, and he doesn't understand the Taoism in the officialdom of country Z. So Chen Chufan really didn't treat a little secretary as a dish, so he didn't bother to bother with him. At the moment, I just thought about leaving, and I didn't mix with these people's.
But Secretary Wang said this, but Chen Zhenquan was unhappy. What does this little young mean? Why do you look down on your son? Since the implementation of family planning, which employee of the enterprise does not have a son or a girl? It can be said that the descendants are more important than themselves. Saying to his face that his son is not, that is not a slap in the face, so Master Chen, who has always been honest, is not happy.
So Master Chen broke free of his son's hand, turned around and said, "How do you talk this young man?" If you don't try, you know my son can't do it? Can you? If you want to do it, why don't you translate! No wonder the economy is getting worse and worse now, and it is all made a fuss by you young people who know what to say! ”
Chen Chufan listened to it on the side. He really didn't know that his father, who had never spoken much, really had a set of lessons to teach people.
Secretary Wang was even more annoyed by Chen Zhenquan's words, but he was so proud of his identity that he didn't want to quarrel with an old worker here, but he threw a tantrum at Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, what are the qualities of the workers in your factory?" Such people are also brought to the office building? I think this tire factory is really degenerate now, no wonder it loses money year after year! ”
Director Zhang didn't think that he finally found someone who could speak German, but he was unhappy on both sides, and he was caught in the middle and became not a person on both sides. I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. But on the one hand, he took the initiative to invite him, and on the other hand, he was the secretary of the deputy mayor with real power in the city government, and it was not easy to offend. I was struggling with how to speak, but the door to the conference room was opened.
Germans are always interested in time and efficiency. At eight o'clock in time, I arrived at the tire factory, but the assessment that was supposed to start was postponed because the interpreter suddenly fell ill.
The Germans were understandable about the accident, but they were a little annoyed that the manufacturer had not yet found a replacement translator for more than an hour. In addition, when he heard someone arguing outside the conference room, Paul Weber, the head of the German delegation, walked out directly.
"What are you doing here? Isn't more than 1 hour enough time for you to find a translator? I really feel sorry for how productive you are! As soon as they went out, Paul Webel complained to Secretary Wang, who had been in charge of receiving them.
It's a pity that Paul Weber's complaint is a complete waste of saliva. Secretary Wang, who had just lectured Director Zhang arrogantly, looked at Paul Webel blankly at this time, he didn't know a little German, and he could only guess from Mr. Paul Weber's impatient expression that what this German guy said was probably not what he said to praise him.
Before Secretary Wang could think of how to deal with it, Chen Chufan, who was a little annoyed, spoke.
"Hello, sir. The problem now is not that you can't find a translator. Rather, the young man in front of you is questioning my German skills for the task of translation. Fluent and standard German stunned everyone except Paul Weber.
Paul Webel was so happy that finding a translator meant that his group would be ready to work right away. You must know that the old-fashioned personality of the Germans makes them attach great importance to time and efficiency. However, the boy's words made him a little confused. Such a good level of German is not qualified for the post of translator, and the Chinese are really too modest.
"Oh my God, you Chinese are so much how I describe it! If it weren't for your Oriental appearance, I would have suspected that you were my compatriot. My name is Paul Weber, and I'm the person in charge of this expedition. Hope we can have a happy cooperation! Paul Webel no longer paid attention to Secretary Wang and Director Zhang, who were standing on the side dumbfounded, and walked directly to Chen Chufan and shook Chen Chufan's hand.
Although none of the people in the room understood German, and the conversation between the two was more like two birdmen babbling over a mouth, no one was stupid. From Chen Chufan's fluent spoken English and the happy performance of the Germans, they all learned a fact, that is, Xiao Chen's German level is extremely high. As for how high, they can't comment on it, but at least being a translator is more than enough.
This fact made Secretary Wang very uncomfortable. A minute ago, I was sarcastic that someone else knew two words, and I dared to claim to know German. But in the next minute, the man was able to speak fluently to his German friend in German, which was a slap in the face with facts, and the bang was so loud that he couldn't have a seizure.
Not only did he not have a seizure, but he had to pull down his face and find a way to mend his relationship with this young man. Secretary Wang is very clear about this point. The Germans in front of them are the gods of wealth that the city attaches great importance to, and no matter what the results of their inspection of the tire factory are, they will definitely meet with their leaders in the end. And he doesn't know German, if that kid says something bad about himself in front of these Germans, and then it is passed on to the ears of his leaders by these Germans, then his future will be worrying.
As for a different translation? Damn, if the German translation is so easy to find, is it like this?
Who can be the director of the factory, which one is not an eight-sided figure? Seeing that Chen Chufan's German level was so high, he was ecstatic, of course, he also thought of Secretary Wang's mood at this time, and took advantage of Chen Chufan's pause in talking to that Paul Weber, and hurriedly started to play a round.
"Xiao Chen, you can help me talk to Secretary Wang, just say that this person's inspection work will start immediately, and let them wait in the conference room for a few minutes. I immediately went to arrange for the technician in the factory to be in charge of the explanation. ”
In fact, the technical personnel in charge of the explanation in the factory have already been prepared, and Director Zhang said this just to buy some time between Chen Chufan and Secretary Wang to come out and mediate.
Chen Chufan nodded, and said to Mr. Paul Weber, who was standing in front of him: "I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Paul Weber, my name is Chufan Chen, and I am still a student. Just now, the director of the tire factory asked you to take a break in the conference room, and he will immediately arrange the technicians in charge of on-site commentary, and he will be able to start this inspection work immediately. ”
