Chapter 18: The Confidence of a Master
Ten minutes later, Lin Yao and Lin Yun walked out of the office.
As a follow-up to the previous foreigner's call, Lin Yun offered to ask Jian Wen to help call the foreigner back.
Such a request is difficult for Lin Yao to mention, but it is reasonable for Lin Yun to mention it.
Jian Wen is not a rookie like Lin Yao, and she will not be bothered by the challenge of this level of difficulty.
Jian Wen didn't push, she walked over expressionlessly, pressed the callback button on Lin Yao's landline, and specially turned on the speakerphone.
Soon, the foreigner's voice rang on the other end of the phone, "Hello?"
Jian Wen has already brewed a good speech, "Hello, this is Jane from Soaring Industry, I am calling for............ )
She confidently introduced herself, and then waited quietly for a reply.
According to the normal business process, both parties on the phone should first introduce themselves, explain the purpose of the call, and then ask questions and solve problems, and the purpose is achieved.
It's a pity that the international friend on the other end of the phone doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, and he is very anxious, speaks quickly, and talks a lot to himself.
Because there was a master in front of her, Lin Yao finally became less nervous, she felt that she could barely hear individual words, but when she connected these words, she still didn't understand what the foreigner wanted to say.
In fact, everyone, including Jian Wen, didn't understand.
Gradually, Jian Wen was also brought to the rhythm by foreigners, and she kept saying and repeatedly: "Pardon?" (I'm sorry)
“Excuse me?” (Excuse me)
“Can you say it again?” (Can you say that again?) )
As a result, their communication was like a chicken talking to a duck, and there was no progress, and the foreigner hung up the phone angrily again.
There was a deathly silence in the office.
No one thought it would be like this!
Lin Yao thought to herself, if the person calling was herself, she should be so ashamed and angry at this moment.
After all, as a college English level 4, she was already eager to dig a hole in the ground because she couldn't understand the foreigner's call. If you can't understand it as a professional English level 8, wouldn't you be ashamed?
However, Jian Wen's psychological quality is not something that a rookie of Lin Yao's level can imagine.
The expression on Jian Wen's face remained unchanged, and she commented lightly in Mandarin with a northeast accent: "That foreigner speaks English very badly." ”
Rumble------
Lin Yao's fragile heart seemed to have been greatly impacted.
This kind of impact is even worse than when Lin Yun said before that he would "train her well".
******
After getting off work, Lin Yao did not leave the company immediately, she sat in her seat and carefully recalled the two phone calls of this foreigner.
Lin Yao thinks that her English is not too bad, but why can't she understand it at all? And it's not just her, none of the six salesmen in the company understand!
This incident is unbelievable on the surface, but if you analyze it carefully, you can actually find the reason, and the reasons are many:
First, I was too nervous.
Since the previous call, Lin Yao received a call from a foreigner for the first time, she was completely unprepared, and there was a special eight master sitting opposite her.
The extreme nervousness made her brain feel like a shell, and as a result, she didn't hear what the other party was saying at all.
Second, I don't understand.
On the second call, because Jian Wen was in front, Lin Yao didn't panic, so she still heard a few words, but she still didn't understand what the foreigner wanted to express.
Lin Yao still didn't understand why other people were like her and didn't understand. What she didn't know was that even if foreigners asked these questions in Chinese, as rookies in the industry, they were still confused.
Third, I can't hear clearly.
The quality of international calls is sometimes unstable, for example, this foreigner occasionally mixes in with a "rustling" noise when he speaks.
The foreigner is an anxious man, and he speaks like a cannon, and his speed of speech is extremely fast. And the foreigner speaks with a strong English accent, which is why Jian Wen will say that the other party's English is not good.
……
Among them, Lin Yao was most impressed by Jian Wen's evaluation of foreigners' "poor English speaking".
Imagine, if in the case just now, the person who evaluated the foreigner's bad English was Lin Yao, then everyone would think that she wanted to use this absurd theory to escape her own problems.
Or perhaps, everyone will think that she is using this extremely clumsy and flawed method to shoot someone's ass.
Then they may laugh at her, they may taunt her outright, and they may even laugh out loud...... In short, no one will identify with her.
When Jian Wen said this, the effect was completely different.
What level should I have at CET-8?
Lin Yao didn't know, but she knew that many of the English teachers in the third-rate universities she studied were not eighth-level students.
Since the master of this level has already said that the foreigner's English is "terbad", it must be very poor.
The matter was so logically concluded.
Judging from Jian Wen and everyone's attitude towards this matter, Lin Yao found that if her strength was high to a certain level, then no matter what she did, whether she could do it or not, she would have enough confidence.
Because what she doesn't understand, others can't understand either!
What she can't do, others can't do!
This is the self-confidence that you are only qualified to have after becoming a master and an authority.
Lin Yao has been a girl who has been at ease since she was a child, she went to school when she should go to school, and she took exams when she should take exams.
Even though she has low requirements for herself and doesn't behave very well, there are always people who are less demanding and worse than her.
As a result, she never felt that there was anything wrong with herself or her approach, and she didn't know what ambition was.
Now the situation is different, Lin Yao has become the weakest one in Lingyun Industry, and she doesn't want to be at the bottom all the time!
Yes, she's still a girl with no ambitions, but she still needs to make a face.
