The sudden turn of events plunged the conference room into silence. Before Wu Yongjian could react, Zhou Heng had already pushed the computer in front of him with a smile.

The neatly formatted document, the corresponding French and Chinese pages on the left and right, appeared on the computer screen at this moment, and it was obviously the translation that Zhou Heng said. Wu Yongjian himself did not know French, but he had read the book translated by Gu Lao, and naturally recognized that these things in the document were the contents of the sixth volume of "Herbert's Gate", which had not yet been published.

"Herbert's Gate" is a novel, each of which has more than 400,000 words; Could it be that this young man really finished translating it all?

Thinking like this, Wu Yongjian couldn't help but be frightened. The drop-down strip next to it has become the thinnest state, and it seems that this text is not too short. Wu Yongjian looked at it, then raised his head and glanced at Zhou Heng. "I'll show it to the teacher."

"Please."

As he spoke, Wu Yongjian handed over the laptop handed over by Zhou Heng to Gu Lao. Gu Lao frowned, didn't say anything, just took over the computer, but his hand suddenly slipped, and Zhou Heng's computer almost fell directly. Thanks to Wu Yongjian's quick hand, and the desktop below, Zhou Heng's computer was not broken.

"Teacher? Are you alright? ”

"It's okay......"

A small episode of a false alarm startled many people around, but fortunately, Gu Lao was fine, and no one cared. Gu Lao didn't say much, and browsed the text on the computer without saying a word, but the projector in the conference room was not turned on, and the only people who could see the things in Zhou Heng's computer were Gu Lao and Wu Yongjian, who were standing beside him.

The rest of the people around didn't know what had happened. They didn't see anything in the computer, and naturally they still didn't believe what Zhou Heng said. But after all, there were Wu Yongjian and Gu Lao, and they didn't dare to say anything; For a while, there was a hum of whispered speech in the conference room, and the onlookers who did not know why were talking and pointing, while Zhou Heng maintained a smile and sat back in his seat while pointing.

However, Liu Yan, who was sitting on the side, was a little unbearable.

He has been studying French for almost eight years, and just graduated last year, he returned to his alma mater to become a French lecturer because of his excellent grades. He thinks he has the strength, but after he really entered this circle, he realized how difficult it was to be a newcomer. Because he has no fame and no seniors to support, no matter how hard he works, in the eyes of others, he is just a newcomer who has just entered the circle.

And this job is an opportunity to change this qiē. There are not many opportunities to translate and publish foreign-copyrighted novels, and with the rumors that Gu Lao wants to accept apprentices, it doesn't matter if the salary is a little lower. Because of such a determination to win, Liu Yan could not tolerate Zhou Heng, a layman who suddenly came out. Although he didn't know what was in Zhou Heng's computer, as time passed, he became more and more frightened.

Although I don't want to believe it in my heart, what if what this guy says is true?

"Editor-in-Chief Wu, let's start the interview quickly." Liu Yan stood up and said to Wu Yongjian, who was behind Gu Lao, "We don't care, but Professor Gu still has classes to attend in the afternoon." In this kind of person, don't waste any more time. ”

The words fell, but this time no one echoed his words anymore. Wu Yongjian also reacted, whispered a few words to Gu Lao, raised his head and said in a low voice-"Don't make noise with the others, except for the personnel office, go back and do your own thing." Let's get started, you two read the original manuscript on the paper and pick a paragraph to translate. ”

After Wu Yongjian finished speaking, he leaned down and continued to look at the text on the computer, and Gu Lao didn't even raise his eyelids, completely ignoring the situation on their side. The onlookers 66 left the conference room one after another, and Zhou Heng's computer bag was returned to the table in front of him by the young man just now. The interview materials were not given to him, and he did not mean to conduct the interview normally, just sat quietly in his place.

Looking at Qiu Haipeng again, he has been staring at the information for a long time. As soon as he gave him the information, he began to read it; Even later, when Zhou Heng showed the text in the computer, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at it.

Sensing the actions of these two competitors, Liu Yan realized that he had fallen behind in this interview.

Even if Zhou Heng was indeed a clown who jumped off the beam as he thought, Qiu Haipeng had already watched it before him for a long time. Besides, looking at Zhou Hengcheng's appearance in his chest, his heart was even more bottomless.

"But he hasn't gotten the information yet......"

Seeing that Zhou Heng had no intention of conducting an interview in a proper manner, Liu Yan blurted out.

"He? He doesn't have to. Wu Yongjian said casually, "Let's take a look and then talk, you answer first." ”

Could it be that guy is telling the truth? Thinking of this possibility, Liu Yanru fell into an ice cave. So far, he has nothing to say, glared at Zhou Heng, who was wandering, but then caught a glimpse of Qiu Haipeng, who had already begun to write at the desk, and secretly complained in his heart, he hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the things on the paper, but the more he panicked, the more he couldn't calm down; Even the French alphabet, which is so familiar on a daily basis, is now a little unfamiliar.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Lao suddenly spoke.

"Come here."

Qiu Haipeng and Liu Yanqi raised their heads and saw Zhou Heng who calmly got up from his seat. After Zhou Heng passed, the old man did not ask immediately, but carefully looked the young man up and down.

Wu Yongjian, who was standing behind Gu Lao, spoke first and asked, "Do you know the translation copyright of this book?" If you are unable to conclude a contract with our publisher this time, you will not be able to make any profit from it. Have you thought about this question? ”

"I didn't think about it at first." Zhou Heng said, "Because I'm just a lover of this book. I happened to be practicing French translation recently, and I tried to translate the entire French version of this volume. ”

"First time translating?" Wu Yongjian wondered, "Can you translate the entire content of a book for the first time?" ”

"I've tried to translate a few times before, but I've never finished it or expressed it. This time, it was only after I had done most of the work that I saw the recruitment notice of your publishing house. ”

Wu Yongjian nodded and didn't say anything more. Zhou Heng was a little uncomfortable by several people, so he took the initiative to ask, "That...... What about my translations? ”

Looking at his somewhat eager gaze, Gu Lao sighed slightly. "You've done a great job translating."

Hearing such an evaluation, Zhou Heng was overjoyed: "Really? Thank you Mr. Gu for the compliment! ”

"Did you translate it all by yourself?"

"Well, yes." Zhou Heng nodded.

"How long has it been translating?"

"Two months."

"Oh......" Gu Lao nodded and said again, "You translated very well." ”

In fact, in Gu Lao's opinion, this article translated by Zhou Heng is indeed very good. When he first saw it, he even thought it was his own past work. There are many words and grammar in it, which are clearly in his language style.

However, this is obviously impossible—not to mention that the sixth volume of "Herbert's Gate" is still sitting on the desk in Gu's old house, not only without cloth, but only mediocre in its completion; Even many of the actual languages in it are not the same as the part translated by Gu Lao.

Although it looks like it, it is not the same.

Gu Lao had interviewed many translators before. Some only pay attention to accuracy, but ignore the context and content of the translation itself. Some are perfunctory, and although they look presentable, they are actually full of fallacies.

For Gu Lao, benefits and efficiency are not factors he will consider; Just as he insisted on the career of translation out of interest, he would only care about the other party's translation style when choosing a successor - whether he was serious or not, whether it suited his appetite. Zhou Heng's translation is obviously completely in line with, and far beyond his expectations.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

Wu Yongjian leaned down and whispered in Gu Lao's ear. However, there was silence in the conference room at this moment, and his voice was immediately heard by the others. Qiu Haipeng raised his hand and asked, "Editor-in-Chief Wu, what about us?" ”

Only then did the editor-in-chief Wu realize that Qiu Haipeng and Liu Yan, who had been ignored for a long time. "Hmm...... Are you done?"

"That's it."

Qiu Haipeng was already ready, but beads of sweat appeared on Liu Yan's forehead, "I'm ...... I'm still a little close. ”

"It's okay, let's hand it in first." Looking at Gu Lao's reaction, Wu Yongjian also knew that the result this time was already very clear; However, he didn't treat the two coldly, "Because such a thing happened, this defense will be settled first." Please go back first, if there is anything else, I will inform you according to the contact information in the information......"

Wu Yongjian said this, walked over and put away the manuscript on the desktop in front of the two of them. However, as soon as he turned around, Liu Yan behind him suddenly said loudly:

"I ...... I'm not convinced! ”
