Chapter 521: Pulled into the Water

Taking out a stack of documents from his briefcase, Chen Qinghai sat at the table, looking through the documents while asking in a calm tone:

"New here?"

The team leader is the boss of the team. When the team leader is not there, the deputy team leader takes charge.

Now that the team leader is back, the person in charge is naturally the team leader.

Lu Miao does have some good eyesight.

He took a step forward, stood beside Chen Qinghai's desk, and replied:

"Yes, I came just before National Day."

"Where did you work before?"

"I'm still a student, currently a freshman majoring in English at Peking University. I've previously translated manuscripts at Chongwen Guoguang Translation Studio and also worked in a publishing house for a while."

Chen Qinghai smiled and said with an ambiguous meaning:

"You've been to quite a few places, haven't you?"

Lu Miao answered truthfully, "I originally wanted to stay at the Chongwen Translation Office, but then I went to school and it wasn't on my way, so I stopped going."

Chen Qinghai nodded and asked again:

"I heard that Director Tan brought you here. You've worked at the Chongwen Translation Office before, and you know Director Ma?"

"Yes, it was Director Ma who recommended Teacher Tan to me."

Chen Qinghai said "Oh" thoughtfully, and asked indirectly:

"I hear you speak clear and standard Mandarin. Are you registered in northern Beijing?"

Lu Miao thought about it for a moment, thinking that he was verifying her identity information like Teacher Tan, so he said:

"I'm from a rural area in H Province in the south. I was admitted from the south."

She used to be registered in northern Beijing, but moved to the countryside and married Fu Jingyou.

Even though the household registration information is updated slowly, she has already obtained the household registration page of the new area where she moved to after moving to the countryside over the past few years.

Chen Qinghai understood and nodded, then said "Oh". His expression changed and he quickly became serious.

It seems that he is not as easy to talk to as before.

"You just said you were an English major?"

"yes."

"But a few days ago, you translated a French manuscript."

Lu Miao nodded calmly, "Yes."

She looked calm and unhurried, not even showing a hint of fear.

Chen Qinghai frowned and said:

"I don't care whether you speak English or French. The club has its own rules. Newcomers must undergo a minimum observation period of three months!"

"You've only been here on and off for less than two weeks. Who allowed you to touch the manuscript without permission? And it was the French manuscript, anyway."

French is not a mainstream manuscript, and the demand is currently saturated within the British and English publishing houses.

A large part of the French manuscripts on the second floor were the responsibility of Chen Qinghai.

The fact that Chen Qinghai can hold the position of group leader of Group 6 and even has the possibility of being promoted to director of the third floor is closely related to his ability to speak two languages.

Suddenly a man showed up and said he could speak French and was in the same group with him.

Chen Qinghai couldn't help but be wary.

At the beginning, he didn't want to attack openly because he was afraid that Lu Miao had a strong backing.

Now Chen Qinghai has found out that Lu Miao is a registered resident in the south and was admitted as a student from the south.

Director Ma and Director Tan can at best be considered her two benefactors.

She has no roots in Beijing, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

The car yesterday might not really have anything to do with her.

After all, he is a student of Beijing University, a top-notch university, so it is not surprising that he has several classmates who are children of wealthy families.

In particular, the person driving yesterday was also a young man.

The more Chen Qinghai thought about it, the harsher his tone became, and he even slammed the table.

After the banging of tables, the atmosphere in Group 6's workshop became tense, and you could hear a pin drop.

"Team Leader, there might be some misunderstanding about this matter, Comrade Xiao Lu..."

Wang Liming stood up and wanted to speak for Lu Miao.

Chen Qinghai glanced over and said in a strong voice:

"Deputy Team Leader Wang, you are the deputy team leader and I am the team leader. Are you questioning my ability to judge?"

"Of course not..."

Wang Liming glanced at Lu Miao and could only sit back down awkwardly.

After going around like this, Lu Miao had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Team leader Chen's anger seemed to be based on two aspects.

First, as a newcomer, she participated in the translation.

Second, she translated the French manuscript.

Or perhaps there is a third aspect.

That is, Team Leader Chen believed that she wrote the manuscript privately.

Lu Miao's brain was working rapidly.

There is a French dictionary on the desk of Team Leader Chen, so we can roughly judge that he can speak French.

And from his words, it was not difficult to hear that there were problems with the French manuscript.

It seemed that no matter what, this wasn't the mission assigned to her...

The manuscript was originally placed on her desk.

If it wasn't Teacher Tan who assigned her this position, then it must have been someone else's mistake.

But it is almost impossible to deliver to the wrong table.

Her desk was cleaned not long ago.

Besides, she is the newcomer.

Not someone who hands out manuscripts every day.

Besides the fact that it was arranged for her by Teacher Tan, there is another possibility.

Someone wants to mess with her!

Lu Miao looked around at the other people in the room.

The memories of their daily interactions were still vivid, and she felt that it couldn't be these people.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

It's not her fault, she's not afraid of an investigation.

"I've learned about the situation at the publishing house. Manuscripts delivered to an individual's desk are the individual's responsibility."

Lu Miao was neither arrogant nor impatient, and spoke the truth:

"I know French, so I didn't ask questions that day."

Chen Qinghai laughed in anger, "You mean to say that this manuscript was sent to your desk according to the procedures."

Lu Miao pursed his lips and said nothing, but his meaning was very clear.

yes.

Chen Mei hesitated and helped Lu Miao explain:

"Team Leader Chen... When Director Tan brought Comrade Xiao Lu here the other day, he did say that Comrade Xiao Lu could help with any unfinished manuscripts. Perhaps this manuscript was assigned by Teacher Tan..."

Chen Qinghai snorted coldly and nodded:

"Okay, well, since you all say so, then please ask Director Tan to come over."

The society is hierarchical. It's his job to assign people to him and arrange their daily lives.

For urgent manuscripts, special arrangements can be made.

But it is also wrong not to greet him beforehand or after he comes back.

Chen Qinghai knew that he was in the right, so he was not afraid even if this matter was really arranged by Director Tan.

Lu Miao was standing and listening to the lecture, there was no way she would walk away and call Director Tan.

Chen Mei's position is closest to the door.

After looking around and seeing that no one else had moved, Chen Mei got up and went to the third floor.

Chen Qinghai glanced at Lu Miao and said with a chuckle:

"Since you refuse to admit your mistake, I'll show you today how you dragged your benefactor down with you."

"Team Leader Chen, it's a bit too early to say that."

Lu Miao frowned, pursed his lips, turned his face away stubbornly, and remained calm.

Chen Qinghai slammed the table and stood up:

"you--!"

Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and Teacher Tan's voice arrived before anyone else:

"What's going on?"

After all, Teacher Tan is the director of the third floor and his superior.

Even though Chen Qinghai was not happy, he had to soften his attitude and said with a stern face:

"Director Tan, this is the person you brought in. I can't say much. Let her explain the current situation to you herself!"
