CHAPTER XIV
Lin Qin had done two consecutive passes for Mr. Smith before.
Consecutive interpreting is different from simultaneous interpretation in that the interpreter sits next to the speaker. For example, interpreters who sit on the podium with the speakers at various large-scale press conferences in the country.
Therefore, in consecutive interpretation, the interpreter and the speaker have far more contact than simultaneous interpretation.
She had some contact with Mr. Smith during the two consecutive assignments, but there were so many things about this kind of big man that she wasn't sure people remembered her.
If you come forward to say hello, you are afraid that it will look abrupt, and if you don't say hello, it will be rude.
After thinking about it, he had to stand aside with a smile and wait for the group of people to walk by.
But I saw that Mr. Smith was still there chatting with people, and saw that he suddenly stopped.
He greeted Lin Qin very pleasantly.
Since this was the case, Lin Qin had no choice but to calmly chat with Mr. Smith for a few days under the gaze of a group of people.
Smith smiled and said in English: "As soon as I listened to the voice in the headphones, I guessed that it was Lin Zai's translation." He invited Lin Qin to lunch together.
"In that case, Miss Lin should have dinner with us." A gentleman on the side was similarly gracious.
This person is Qi Renjun.
Originally, Gu Yuan would also entertain Smith with him, but who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, several heavyweight target companies approached him to discuss company cooperation. The burden of receiving Smith rested on him.
Although his English was not bad, but after a whole banquet exchange, and by the way, he had to discuss some technical issues, and Qi Renjun felt that he couldn't bear it.
Find an assistant and ask for an interpreter.
In the early stage, because of Gu Yuan's presence, it should be no problem for two people to match, so I didn't consider asking for an accompanying translator.
However, Qi Renjun asked the human resources department to find two accompanying interpreters in case of emergency.
But the HR department went wrong at a critical time: they didn't have an alternative interpreter!!
It's just a major mistake at work!!
He suppressed his anger and continued to deal with Smith, and seeing Lin Qin at this moment was simply unexpected. Isn't that the best candidate to accompany an interpreter?
But Lin Qin was reluctant when he heard it. For this kind of accompanying interpreter during meals, others are eating, but they are pure work. She has been using her brain for the morning, and at the moment she just wants to eat well, recharge her energy, and prepare for the afternoon's work.
He refused without thinking about it, and smiled at Smith and Qi Renjun: "I still won't bother you." ”
Smith naturally respected Lin Qin's meaning. And smiled and said goodbye.
But where would Qi Renjun give up like this, he now sees Lin Qin like a lifesaver, if this banquet is not good, how will the cooperation be carried out in the future?
And just a few words that Lin Qin and Smith chatted about just now, I knew that this Smith appreciated Miss Lin's translation.
How can such a person let go.
Qi Renjun quietly took Smith and continued to walk towards the banquet hall. made a look to Assistant Song on the side.
Assistant Song nodded slightly, quietly moved away from the crowd, and walked towards Lin Qin in the opposite direction.
An Xin was standing aside with a plate and admired Lin Qin: "Teacher Lin, you are really amazing. All have done consecutive interpreting for Mr. Smith. When am I going to get to this level? By the way, the one who invited you to dinner just now was Qi Renjun from M Technology, oh my God, he himself is so handsome. Teacher Lin, how can you refuse, Mr. Gu can't meet him by chance, and that Mr. Qi is not bad. It's a shame to miss out on such an opportunity. ”
"That's not inviting you to dinner, people are trying to invite you to work."
Assistant Song, who was approaching, blushed when he heard this, but he hadn't seen any scenes as assistants, so he recovered his face and stepped forward to talk: "Miss Lin." ”
Lin Qin and An Xin, who had their backs to their assistants, were startled, and they had the feeling of talking about people being caught behind their backs.
Both of them recognized that it was from the group just now.
"Miss Lin, could I invite you to be an accompanying interpreter for a luncheon? The price can give you three times the market price. "Time was tight, and the assistant was straightforward and didn't go around in circles.
When Lin Qin heard what the other party said, he was really moved. Who is going to have trouble with money? However, she had to do simultaneous interpretation in the afternoon, and she was afraid that doing the accompanying translation at noon would affect the simultaneous interpretation in the afternoon.
She is responsible for the quality of the simultaneous interpretation in the afternoon.
She shared her concerns.
Assistant Song thought for a moment: "In this way, we will find someone else to replace you in the afternoon simultaneous interpretation." It would be good for you to be the interpreter at noon. I'll get it done. ”
Lin Qin still disagreed, after all, it was not M Technology that asked her to do simultaneous interpretation at that time, but the organizer. She couldn't do such a thing that she didn't believe in.
Assistant Song's forehead was sweating at the moment, and he immediately made a phone call with the organizer to explain the situation.
The organizers naturally disagreed, and it took them a lot of effort to find Lin Qin. And it's not easy to find someone temporarily.
The assistant was in a hurry, and thought about it and said; "If you agree, you can increase the sponsorship fee by 30%."
Tempted by money, the organizers agreed. Assistant Song answered the phone to Lin Qin again, and Lin Qin heard the organizer's meaning with his own ears, so he agreed.
Assistant Song unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded the unreliable human resources department in his heart.
And wipe their butts.
If they dare to object to the translation price they offer, then he will not be polite.
The moment Qi Renjun saw Lin Qin enter the banquet hall, he smiled extraordinarily brightly. Mr. Smith was also pleased.
Lin Qin rarely joked at Smith: "You invited me to dinner for a real meal, and they invited me to eat for work." ”
Smith laughed, heartily.
The luncheon went well. At first, everyone was still chatting, but later on, Qi Renjun and Smith began to talk about some technical issues. At this time, Lin Qin is particularly important.
After all, Qi Renjun is not so familiar with some technical terms.
The food at this kind of banquet is not comparable to the buffet outside, but it's a pity that Lin Qin only has time to glance at it. However, Mr. Smith was very considerate, and stopped several times in the middle to let Lin Qin eat something.
After eating, Qi Renjun had a secret conversation with Mr. Smith alone in a conference room, and he asked Lin Qin to be the translator. Of course, the translation price is also very beautiful.
Send Mr. Smith away. Qi Renjun expressed his gratitude to Lin Qin.
After a day of high-intensity brain use, Lin Qin felt very tired, and just wanted to go home quickly Ge You lay down, and said casually: "It should be." Your company also pays you well. ”
Qi Renjun: "......"
I didn't expect her to speak so directly.
