Chapter 12 Conference Rooms
Zhou Heng's self-confidence is naturally justified.
After figuring out the functions and circumstances of the main god, Zhou Heng's first step was to use the language function of the main god to apply for some translation work. The Lord God is integrated with his own computer, and it is enough to cope with some ordinary work. Looking at the quotations of some text translators recruited on the Internet, Zhou Heng realized the gap between himself and senior intellectuals - he was paid two or three hundred for a thousand words as a translator for Ah San, compared to his current salary, he was really one in heaven and one on earth.
Seeing these things, Zhou Heng's determination to change jobs became even stronger. Of course, the translator himself will not do it, even if the Lord God helps him speak, it will be difficult for him to lip sync himself; If you just do some text translation, there is no problem with the current ability of the main god, but in the long run, it will inevitably not show any stilts - not to mention whether it will be revealed if you rely on the main god's advanced machine to turn over the pit and abduct you, and without any learning experience at all and no previous works, how to get a relatively stable job is also a problem. All in all, it is better to find a reliable person as soon as possible, and use the innate language ability of the main god to copy a complete language ability from him.
Now the energy possessed by the main god is only enough for a single language extraction, and if the subject is just an ordinary translator or even an ordinary foreign friend, it is obviously a bit wasteful; Therefore, it is extremely important to find a suitable person as the target. And after the main god was busy, Zhou Heng quickly found two optimal goals. One is the owner of a translation company in Yanjin City, who was an ace translator who was proficient in German, English, Italian and other Chinese languages when he was young, and although he has taken a back seat to concentrate on business, his level is still beyond doubt.
And another target is to take care of the elderly. Although Mr. Gu is not a professional translator, he has studied in many countries and has many years of experience in translating French books and periodicals, so he also has a very high level of translation. For Zhou Heng, it was a little difficult to get in touch with the boss of that translation company, but Gu Lao was different. It just so happened that New Frontier Publishing House was recently recruiting a part-time French translator to take over to Gu Lao, and Zhou Heng asked the main god to search for relevant information, and soon learned the whole story.
According to a post on an online forum after an applicant was rejected, Mr. Zhou's seemingly insignificant part-time job is actually not that easy to do. Some are said to have given a text for on-the-spot translation, and after doing it, they refused directly without saying why; Some of them handed in some recent works and called them back directly. However, from these messy information, Zhou Heng can get a useful information, usually during the interview, Mr. Gu will be present in person,
Although modern network technology is advanced, it is not easy to find specific information. Aside from this post, the Lord God did not find any useful information; And after Zhou Heng specially registered an account to ask questions on that forum, he did not get a reply from the discussant. Zhou Heng himself has no past works and learning experience, thinking of the job search jokes he saw in the chicken soup for the soul before, he simply put together a cover letter in French and sent it to the email address of the publishing house.
Zhou Heng naturally understood that the main god's French ability to copy the dictionary was not enough in front of professional translators. However, in the face of this kind of interview, where you can't even understand the official translation, you can only rely on luck to gamble. Anyway, according to the information seen on the forum, the reply from the publishing house is usually very fast - so Zhou Heng hugged the computer and waited for the reply.
Sure enough, just four hours after Zhou Heng posted his resume, he didn't even finish a meal, and the publisher's email came. Seeing the notice of the interview, Zhou Heng was naturally overjoyed; He, or the level of the main god, may not be able to meet the requirements of the publishing house, but for him, as long as he can contact Gu Lao, the goal will be achieved.
The ability of the main god can directly obtain all the language abilities of the other party, as long as the main god can contact Gu Lao, the main god can become a top translator like Gu Lao in an instant.
However, Zhou Lu, who is a younger sister, obviously misunderstood Zhou Heng's actions.
"Brother, you weren't fired, were you?"
"Expulsion? How could it be ......" Zhou Heng replied casually, and with a glance, he just met Zhou Lu's worried eyes. Of course, he didn't take it seriously, and after having the Lord God, he still had a feeling of fluttering—it felt like a dream. However, for Zhou Lu, his brother is the pillar and pillar of this family, and thinking of Zhou Heng's series of expressions today, there is no reason not to worry about being a younger sister.
Sensing his sister's eyes and worry, Zhou Heng had a slight headache. For the brothers and sisters who have experienced the hardships of life early on, there is nothing more important than a stable life; Zhou Heng is like this, and so is Zhou Lu. In any case, now he is the head of the family, and he can't let his sister worry.
Do you want to tell her about the Lord God?
Thinking of this, Zhou Heng hesitated a little again. Last night, because I was not sure about the details of the Lord God, I did not tell her for the time being; At noon today, I just went through such an accident, and my sister was going to go to the same school to paint, so I didn't have time to tell her about the extra baby in my hand. For Zhou Heng, on the one hand, he absolutely trusts his sister; On the other hand, it doesn't seem necessary to sue Sister Sù. If you only look at the results, no matter what you do, there is no problem.
Zhou Heng was still hesitating, but under the gaze of his sister's eyes, he was still subconsciously perfunctory. "It's nothing, it's just a little accident. You don't have to worry about finding a job. If it happens this time, how about taking you to a barbecue restaurant on the cross side of the station for a big meal? ”
The food offensive that is incomparably effective on weekdays doesn't seem to be very effective today, Zhou Heng said these two words with little confidence, and his sister Zhou Lu naturally wouldn't believe it, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said angrily, "Brother! ”
"Eat quickly, eat." Zhou Heng simply closed the computer and pushed it aside, and picked up the bowl again. Seeing that Zhou Heng didn't mean to say anything, Zhou Lu had no choice but to give up and continue to eat angrily.
Saying this, the pleasant atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival has also settled down a little. Looking at his sister who was a little unhappy, Zhou Heng was still a little swaying; But since it's been perfunctory, let's forget about it for now. Besides, he still has other things to do.
After dinner, Zhou Heng hugged the computer and flipped through the novel. In his resume, he swore that he was a fan of the French novel, and it was a bit unreasonable to say that he had not read it at all. The novel is called "Herbert's Gate", and it is a French science fiction novel that came out only three years ago; There are a lot of words, but fortunately, it is not boring, and with the on-site translation of the main god, seeing the noon of the next day, Zhou Heng can be regarded as understanding its general content. Although the sentences of this novel are obscure and the style is dark, the description and reflection on the excessive development of human science and technology in the future can be felt even by a layman like Zhou Heng - no wonder Gu Lao likes this kind of novel.
After lunch in advance, Zhou Heng went out with his laptop, ready to go to New Frontier Publishing House for an interview. The location of the New Frontier Publishing House is near Yanjin Normal University, and Zhou Heng took the bus for more than 40 minutes before coming to the downstairs of the publishing house's office building.
It was still early, and there were still about twenty minutes before the agreed time. Because it was noon, there was no one in the newspaper office; Zhou Heng entered the office building and found room 1o3. The interview took place in a conference room, which was empty, except for two young people sitting by the door chatting. One wears glasses and a suit, and looks a little younger; The other has a mustache and is also dressed in a formal suit. Seeing Zhou Heng coming in, the two hurriedly got up, and the glasses stretched out their hands first:
"You are ......"
Zhou Heng shook hands with him, "I'm Zhou Heng, and I'm here for the interview." ”
Glasses pursed her lips with some regret, sat back, and said to the mustache next to him, "Hey, I thought it was the examiner." ”
Zhou Heng was a little puzzled, but the mustache on the side nodded at him, and handed over a business card casually, "We are all here to apply for translations, just like you; I'm Qiu Haipeng from Shuiyue Translation Agency, please take care of me. ”
Seeing the mustachioed Qiu Haipeng take the initiative to say hello, the glasses didn't say anything more, and sat down and nodded to Zhou Heng, "I am Liu Yan, a newcomer who graduated from the French Department of Yanjin Normal University, and now I am interning at my alma mater, please take care of my seniors." ”
Zhou Heng didn't have any business cards himself, and after taking the other party's business card, he didn't exchange it, and shook Qiu Haipeng's outstretched hand, "I'm Zhou Heng, good two." ”
Qiu Haipeng nodded, "Come, Brother Zhou, please take a seat." ”
Seeing these two competitors who were about to face when he entered the door, Zhou Heng was still a little surprised. The salary of this job is not high, and the requirements are quite strict, and several batches of people have been brushed down before; I didn't expect that I would have two competitors this time.
But having said that, for this profession, Zhou Heng himself does not have the determination to win. Seeing that Qiu Haipeng took the initiative to show goodwill, he didn't say much, and after seeing that the time was almost up, he put the computer bag aside and sat on an empty chair next to the two.
