Chapter 503: Daze
"No, but every time I bother you, I can't help it."
Shen Wanbai cheered up, got up from the sofa, and prepared to wash up and go to work while talking to Song Si on the phone.
After a few more words with him, he hung up.
According to Song Si, it is very likely that He Zefeng will not go to the company today.
How do you feel that as soon as Yan Wan appeared, there was nothing to do with her at all?
I care a lot.
But she couldn't do anything.
Shen Wanbai arrived at the company in a daze all the way.
The minister had already prepared the matter of the project, contacted the other party in advance, and when he saw Shen Wanbai coming, he immediately took her and a few other people away.
Even though they are only translating, the content of the documents involved in the contract needs to be very careful, and it is very likely that a single translation error can cost one of the companies millions.
Shen Wanbai was used to calling him "minister", and only after leaving the company did he remember that his real name was Wang Ming.
"We mainly translate for the Chinese company, Wanbai, this is the accountant of their company, and the translation in the financial aspect will be handed over to you, you must be careful, in case of mistakes, we will bear the consequences, understand?"
Wang Ming handed over the tasks to no one, and it was Shen Wanbai's turn to be financial.
"Okay, Minister, I see." Shen Wanbai is a newcomer to their team, so he will naturally be humble.
Shen Wanbai had also been in contact with a lot of financial translations before, but none of them would give her a headache like now.
The words on the contract are too jerky, and the difference in one word is likely to mean the opposite.
Shen Wanbai translated word by word, sentence by sentence, and reviewed it many times, and then completed the first contract that needed to be translated.
"I've worked hard for you, let's rest first." The Chinese accountant poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Shen Wanbai.
"Thank you." Shen Wanbai really needed to rest, and her eyes were a little dazzled when she saw these words.
Shen Wanbai drank coffee and sat there in a daze.
She always felt that something was not right.
Although the legal provisions have always been rigorous, and there will be many professional terms, how can the chewing words like the one she just translated appear in a formal contract?
Is it because she has too little work experience and not many contracts to be exposed to, or is her suspicion correct?
After thinking about it, it may not be necessary to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Wanbai found Wang Ming with the contract he had just translated and told him about it.
Wang Ming took it, compared it with the original contract, translated it with her and prepared to submit it to the Italian side, and after a pause, handed it to her: "Since it is a contract ordered by them, even if you chew the words again, it is their business, and our task is to translate these accurately." If there is a mistake in the translation here, it is originally the responsibility of Party A, but if you use this translation method, it becomes the responsibility of Party B, understand? β
Shen Wanbai looked at the problems he pointed out, and after checking the relevant legal documents, it was indeed her translation error.
I really didn't expect that this project would be more than ten times more difficult than she thought.
If Wang Ming hadn't pointed it out, I'm afraid her mistakes in this regard would have existed forever.
Shen Wanbai was a little grateful to Wang Ming, adjusted his mentality, and continued to translate, more cautious than before.
Several other colleagues are translating very quickly, but she is the only one who is very slow.
When others were resting, she was still working overtime to continue translating, and when she encountered some accounting terms, she also had to consult the Chinese accountant, and only after thoroughly understanding the meaning, could she find the accurate translation of the corresponding words.
She and other colleagues live here, and each of them has a separate room.
When she was busy until the night, she received a call from He Zefeng.
"Still busy?" He Zefeng didn't explain to her what he had done during the time he had disappeared.
Shen Wanbai also tacitly didn't ask.
"Well, I'm almost busy, I'll rest in a while."
"Got a problem?"
Shen Wanbai originally wanted to tell him about the trouble he encountered, but he didn't know why, he swallowed back a little angrily, and said lightly: "No, it's quite challenging, but I can deal with it." β
He Zefeng on the other end of the phone paused slightly, and then said "um" in a low voice.
The two men were relatively speechless for a while.
Shen Wanbai seemed to sense that he was not in a good mood.
"Do you have a headache?" She took the initiative to speak.
"Sort of, it's a bit of a hassle. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to you during this time, if there is anything to tell Song Si, he will help you solve it. β
"I know, you've told me many times, and he's always said that. Am I not weak enough to handle my professional affairs, right? β
Shen Wanbai was stimulated by the previous public opinion.
Since everyone says that she climbed up by relationships, she has to use her strength to prove her excellence.
Shen Wanbai heard someone calling He Zefeng's name, his voice was a little old, but he felt very capable.
Maybe it's He Zefeng's grandfather? Or maybe it's Yanwan's grandfather?
Shen Wanbai thought so in her heart, He Zefeng told her a few more words, and hung up the phone.
was obviously sleepy to the point of sleeping on the bed, but she still relied on her willpower to check the Internet about He Zefeng and Yan Wan. She was busy all day, but she didn't know that He Zefeng and Yan Wan attended a very grand dinner together tonight.
Although the two of them seem to be just ordinary friends in the photo, familiar but very distant, the word "fiancΓ©e" is very glaring in the headline of the news.
Shen Wanbai stared at the news blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.
After knowing that his eyes were sore, he turned off his mobile phone, covered his face with a quilt, and began to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was another very busy day.
From opening his eyes until he went to bed at night, Shen Wanbai had no time to stop and rest.
The negotiations between the two companies are coming to an end, and the negotiations that should be finalized have been discussed, and the next task will be a little less, basically to finalize the final decision.
On the last day of this project, when both sides signed, Shen Wanbai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now I can finally go back and have a good rest.
The pressure of the past few days has been too much, and she vaguely feels very uncomfortable.
Probably because I'm too tired.
Shen Wanbai didn't think much about it, after leaving the project, everyone who participated in the project had two days off.
She was ready to sleep well at home.
But as soon as she returned to the villa on her front foot, she received a call from Wang Ming on her back foot.
"Shen Wanbai, where are you?"
"I'm home, Minister, what's wrong?" Shen Wanbai could hear that something was wrong with his tone.
"Come to the office now, there was a serious mistake in your previous translation."
"Okay, I got it." After Shen Wanbai hung up his phone, he could only cheer up and hurried towards the company.
Wang Ming did not wait for her in the Italian translation department, but let her go to the company's reception room.
As soon as Shen Wanbai entered, he saw the accountant of the engineering project.
"Minister, I made a mistake in translation, is the problem serious?"
Shen Wanbai didn't think much about it, and asked Wang Ming seriously.
"See for yourself! Because your translation is wrong! As a result, the Chinese company will lose two million! The money was given to the other company! β
Wang Ming was very angry and smashed the document on the coffee table in front of her, with his hands on his waist and a stern face.
The accountant was also very angry, and at the same time showed anxiety.
Shen Wanbai immediately opened the document, and her translation mistakes were marked.
She pondered it many times, and always felt that there was no problem with this place, if you took it out alone, it was a little ambiguous, but the document should never be taken out of context, and there was nothing wrong with the content before and after.
Shen Wanbai said what he thought in his heart, which attracted even more anger from Wang Ming and the accountant.
"The lawyer on the other side is holding on to this point now! He asked the Chinese company to transfer the two million to the other party's account! Otherwise, the project will be terminated! Do you know how much of a loss it would be in that case? Are you responsible for the loss of the company's accounts? β
"But this place, obviously-" Shen Wanbai still wanted to explain.
But Wang Ming didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and directly interrupted her: "Don't explain to me, it's useless for you to tell me, you either find a way to make up for this loss, or go and communicate with the other party!" β
"This contract has already reached the other party, and it's too late to regret it! Even if you go to communicate, it's useless, will people listen to you, or will they fight for these two million? Are you worth your word? β
The accountant was also on the side.
Wang Ming and her, you and I said a word, and kept putting the responsibility on Shen Wanbai's body.
Shen Wanbai barely even spoke, so he took over the responsibility.
"The only way now is for our company to make up for this loss, but you must compensate the company for this loss!"
Wang Ming said the final summary.
Paying off these two million is simply a fantasy for Shen Wanbai!
Her mother still owes so much debt for her medical bills!
How could it be possible to come up with so much money again!
What's more, Shen Wanbai doesn't think there is anything wrong with this document, even if biting the words will indeed cause discussion, but this is not without opportunities!
But Wang Ming's position is higher than hers, and he has more right to speak, if he wants to plant this matter to Shen Wanbai, she has no room for resistance.
What's more, this document is indeed handled by her, and she is indeed at a loss.
"Minister, you don't have to worry, I will find a way to communicate with the opposing lawyer."
Shen Wanbai couldn't help but get anxious, she held this document in her hand, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" When Wang Ming saw that she was leaving, he immediately stopped her, "Where are you going?" β
"Go to their company and reason with them."
Wang Ming and the accountant glanced at each other and found other excuses to keep her.
"Shen Wanbai, you just rushed over like this, what if you provoke them and find other loopholes in the contract? That's not two million! Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in the translation elsewhere? β
"I ......" Shen Wanbai opened his mouth, unable to give a positive answer.
