Chapter 19: Luring the Wolf into the House

"Mr. Fu Xin, I want to ask, can you translate for me?" Fu Xinzheng was chatting with Zhang Yi, this is, Steven, who was still paying attention to the CNC machine tool on the side, suddenly said, and caught the two off guard.

Of course, one is happy, and is worried about the opportunity to get close; One is embarrassed, why is it coming again!

"Mr. Steven, this is not good! I'll translate for you, and I'll embarrass the others this time! And I have my own things to do! Fu Xin said "embarrassed".

Steven still didn't give up, and asked: "Mr. Fu Xin, please rest assured, we will coordinate other things, I want to know now, is your work very important, you have to do it?" ”

"My job is not very important, it's just that it's not appropriate for me to translate for you!"

"Fu Xin, what's wrong, why do you look embarrassed, have you encountered any difficulties?" The demonstration of the CNC machine was over, and a 27-tooth gear was finally made, and then the crowd began to disperse. Guo Zhenfeng, who also came back to his senses at this time, saw Fu Xin's embarrassed look, he couldn't understand foreign languages, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked Fu Xin.

"Somewhat, this foreigner wants to ask me to be a translator, but it's ......"

Before Fu Xin finished speaking, Guo Zhenfeng interrupted, and then said excitedly: "But what, this is a good thing!" What's so bad about being asked by a foreigner to be a translator! What's the problem, Uncle Guo bears it for you! Speaking of this, Guo Zhenfeng stuck to Fu Xin's front and said to Fu Xin's ear: "I heard that there are a lot of dollars for translating for foreigners!" Such a good thing, where can you find it! ”

Fu Xin still didn't agree, smiled bitterly, and whispered to Guo Zhenfeng: "Uncle Guo, first of all, people have translators, so it's not appropriate for me to rub them in; Second, my dad also assigned me a task! You don't know my father's temper, I can't get paid and not work! ”

After listening to this, Guo Zhenfeng rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "Fu Xin, where your father is, I can help you get it, but this person has a translator, I think, since they invited you, it's nothing more than you!" ”

Guo Zhenfeng didn't know that Steven asked for a new one, and at the same time, he also had to dismiss Zhang Yiyi.

"Who is this?" Seeing that Fu Xin had been whispering to a middle-aged man for so long, Steven might have been a little impatient, pointed at Guo Zhenfeng, and asked Fu Xin.

"Oh, Mr. Steven, let me introduce you, this is my boss, the deputy director of our factory, his name is Guo Zhenfeng." Since they asked, Fu Xin was not hypocritical, and introduced it very happily.

After listening to Fu Xin's introduction, Steve immediately stretched out his hands and said to Guo Zhenfeng: "Oh! Hello, Guo ...... Raise...... Peak...... Director, I'm glad to see you! ”

"Uncle Guo, Mr. Steven is greeting you!" Since Steven spoke English, Fu Xin immediately explained on the side, completely ignoring the existence of the unresponsive Zhang Yi.

"Oh, hello! Mr. Steven. Even if Guo Zhenfeng didn't understand it, he could still understand the meaning of people stretching out their hands to shake hands, so he also stretched out his rough hands and shook hands at each other in the way Fu Xin called each other.

It's just that he was wondering in his heart, "This foreigner's name is so strange!" ”

"Oh! Mr. Guo Zhenfeng, I feel from your hands that you must be a great worker," Steven still knows a little bit about simple Chinese polite language, and without waiting for the two next to him to translate, he clenched Guo Zhenfeng's hands, and then he felt the calluses on Guo Zhenfeng's hands and said in amazement.

"Uncle Guo, the other party is praising you for being a great worker." It was still Fu Xin who explained next to him that the translated broken English couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

"Thank you!" I don't know where Guo Zhenfeng, the deputy director who has never seen the world, learned a sentence of English to express his gratitude, and said to the other party.

"Great, you can speak English!" Hearing Guo Zhenfeng's mouth say a sentence in English that was not very standard, Steven's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

"Uncle Guo, do you speak English?" Fu Xin was also a little strange, and asked Guo Zhenfeng suspiciously.

"No, I learned this sentence from my girl just now, hehe!" Guo Zhenfeng saw that several people were surprised, and he knew why they thought so, so he blushed and explained embarrassedly.

"Oh!" Fu Xin answered, and then explained to Steven: "Mr. Steven, my boss doesn't speak English, and he just learned this sentence by accident, just like you know a few words of Chinese." ”

"Oh!" Steven replied with some disappointment, thinking in his heart, if the other party really knows how to say, then this factory must be a famous factory, so maybe he can get some orders from the other party, after all, he was so fascinated just now! How nice that would be!

"By the way, Mr. Fu Xin, since Mr. Guo Zhenfeng is your boss, you can definitely ask him for leave, please tell him what I said, I want to ask you to be my translator, one hundred dollars a day!" Hopefully he'll say yes. ”

"Okay!" Fu Xin was all hypocritical before, but now he felt that the acting was almost done, so he readily agreed, and then he said to Guo Zhenfeng: "Uncle Guo, this foreigner said that he wanted to ask me to be a translator, one hundred dollars a day, and he said that he hoped you would approve my vacation." ”

Hearing Fu Xin say one hundred dollars a day, although after hearing the news from others, he thought that he already had some understanding of the market, but now he was still startled, and said to Fu Xin in surprise and surprise: "One hundred dollars? So much! Don't you agree to come down quickly, your father's place, I will go to help you say yes, as long as you buy a pack of Hongtashan for Uncle Guo and me when you go back! Hehe, since I smoked this kind of cigarette on my last business trip, I have been thinking about it! Guo Zhenfeng said with emotion.

"One hundred dollars!" Translator Zhang, who has been slow to react, also reacted at this time, she was only ten yuan a day for this group of foreigners, but this new payment, one hundred dollars a day, really scared her.

Fu Xin ignored Zhang Yi's surprise, he had been thinking about translating for Steven and others for a long time, and the previous one could just be acting, so he said to Steven: "Mr. Steven, my boss has agreed, but it's just ......"

"Just what? You Chinese treat people and things well, but you don't speak pleasantly, just what? Steven said with some "upset".

"It's just, I hope you don't fire Ms. Zhang! Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to do it. If you have to fire him, I'm sorry, I can't translate for you. Fu Xin replied.

He did this, firstly, because he had confidence in himself, believing that Steven would not be willing to give up such an excellent translator as him; Second, he doesn't want to offend people inexplicably, this lady can translate in broken English at this Canton Fair, and she will definitely not be a simple character.

"Thank you, Comrade Fu Xin." This time, Zhang Yi reacted quickly, and when he heard Fu Xin say this, he bowed to Fu Xin gratefully.

"Why, she didn't do anything for me, why should I leave him to pay him, it's not necessary!" In the eyes of a capitalist like Steve, who is in the Western world, interests are paramount, and he has to lean back on favors and the like, so he didn't hear the Tao in Fu Xin's words at all.

Fu Xin explained: "This, that's the case, Mr. Steven, if you invite me and dismiss her, it will make us all very embarrassed, we are a society that pays attention to human feelings, I hope you can understand." ”

Steven looked up at the sky and thought about it for a while, then said, "Okay, Mr. Fu Xin, in order to be able to invite such an excellent translator as you, I decided that I would rather spend a little more money than dismiss Ms. Zhang." But I also have one condition. ”

"Tell me about it first!" When people put forward conditions, they still say what they are, so don't just agree to them, otherwise you will suffer or offend people.

"Well, my condition is that after you become my translator, Ms. Zhang will not be used, but I will still pay her the salary." Steven said without hesitation.

"What is this gringo worried about? Could it be that he was suspecting this lady Zhang commercial espionage? If that's the case, it's a bit tricky. Fu Xin thought from the bottom of his heart.

Indeed, Steve suspects that the other party is a commercial espionage, and if there is no evidence, it is impossible. In this way, if this translation is really a commercial espionage, it will be difficult to handle. Thinking of this, Fu Xin looked at Zhang Yi.

"Fu Xin, why are you all looking at other lesbians? Such rudeness! Guo Zhenfeng, who had been playing soy sauce next to him, saw that several foreigners had already Fu Xin staring at Zhang Yi, so he asked Fu Xin suspiciously.

"Oh, nothing!" Fu Xin came back to his senses and replied casually.

Guo Zhenfeng saw that Fu Xin answered his words absentmindedly, and probably felt that there was something that he couldn't say, so he didn't embarrass Fu Xin, and continued to do his great business of soy sauce.

"Mr. Steven, I can accept your terms, but I hope you can keep this matter a secret, otherwise my boss will find out and I will be punished!" After thinking about it for a moment, Translator Zhang replied in her broken English.

Steve has some understanding of the rigor of the Chinese government, if the translator in front of him collects his own money, but does not do anything, and her boss knows about it, he will definitely be punished, so he said very neatly: "Please rest assured, Ms. Zhang, we will not let your boss know your situation, our company's reputation should be worthy of your affirmation!" At the end of this Steven's speech, he praised himself without a trace.

"Well, I'll grant you your terms, Mr. Steven." Translator Zhang was sluggish for a while, and finally understood this paragraph of Steven, then nodded and said "happily".

It is also a kind of sadness that one's own ability only depends on people's sympathy and is not affirmed by others!
