Chapter 11 A good seedling with excellent bones and muscles
"You, you, you've finished writing already?"
How long has it been?
Only about ten or twenty minutes? Did you finish the translation so quickly?
And she didn't even seem to have used a dictionary!
Yes, definitely no dictionary!
It takes time to look up a dictionary, it's impossible to do it so quickly.
"Are you not translating it randomly?"
The supervisor suspected that she was messing around and immediately took her translation and compared it with the existing translation.
As he watched, the supervisor felt a mixture of sadness and joy.
Sadly, she actually finished translating a foreign document of more than a thousand words in just over ten minutes.
Fortunately, she was not fooling him. She really could translate from foreign languages, and the similarity between her answer and the answer was nearly 98%. He didn't think there was a problem with the remaining 2%.
"Hmm~ Not bad~ Your translation skills are quite good! I didn't expect that Song Youyouzhi, you are usually so hidden!"
The supervisor's wrinkles deepened another inch, and his eyes were almost shining as he looked at Song Youyou.
He immediately said, "I still need to submit this test you completed for review. Only after it passes can you officially become our translator. However, judging by your test results, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Song Youyou nodded, not too surprised: "Okay, thank you, boss."
"No thanks, I want to thank you too."
The supervisor smiled and took the initiative to introduce:
"Our translators are divided into junior, intermediate and senior levels. You usually start at the junior level. Once your translation reaches a certain word count, we will assess your accuracy and decide whether to upgrade."
"Yeah, okay." Song Youyou nodded slightly in response.
She had already understood these rules in her previous life, and she also knew that the supervisor had a hidden secret that he had not told her.
If you reach the advanced level, you will be evaluated again. If you are evaluated as excellent, you will be hired as a special translator to translate some confidential documents for the country, or serve as a foreign language translator in international exchanges.
In her previous life, she died shortly after being promoted to special translator.
Seeing that she wasn't arrogant or impatient, the supervisor was even more satisfied and continued, "As for the translation price, the beginner level is 3㨾 per thousand words, the intermediate level is 5㨾 per thousand words, and the advanced level is 10㨾 per thousand words."
After the supervisor told her the price, he looked at her expectantly, wanting to see her excitement and ecstasy.
After all, in those days, an egg only cost 5 cents, and 3 yuan could buy 60 eggs.
The salary of a clerk at Xinhua Bookstore is 28 yuan a month. If she can translate several thousand words a day, it can be equivalent to a month's salary of an employee!
The more the supervisor calculated this number, the more heated his eyes became.
But when he looked at Song Youyou expectantly, he found that her face was calm.
"Okay." Seeing that the supervisor seemed a little excited, Song Youyou nodded politely in response.
manager:"……"
It turns out that he is a talent whose daily salary is equivalent to others' monthly salary. He is really extraordinary.
The supervisor smiled and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Song Youyou, how about you wait here for a moment? I'll take your translation to the person in charge for review right away."
Song Youyou hummed and asked, "Supervisor, can I get a foreign journal translated during this time?"
Because she didn't know how long the review would take, she didn't want to waste her spare time.
Simply put, she was short of money.
"Of course!" The supervisor walked to the table and generously took out several foreign journals from the thick pile of materials and handed them to her.
"If you want to bring these journals back for translation, you need a 10 yuan deposit for each copy. If you translate them here, you don't need to pay a deposit."
"Okay, I'll go to the reading room and do the translation first."
Every Xinhua Bookstore now has a reading room with tables and chairs for people to read.
It’s just that everyone is busy with work, so not many people come here to read.
It was morning again, so when Song Youyou came in, she was the only one in the entire reading room and looked particularly conspicuous.
After Song Baozhu put the books in place, she walked inside. As a result, when she glanced around, she saw Song Youyou's eye-catching figure.
OK!
There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you come in?
Thinking of He Wenqing's reaction to Song Youyou last night, Song Baozhu's anger level began to rise.
He started looking for trouble with small steps.
At this time, Song Youyou was immersed in translating the decoded words and had no idea that malicious intent was coming.
On the other side, the supervisor took Song Youyou's translation to the general manager's office, who was the general manager of Xinhua Bookstore.
“Knock knock knock—”
"Why knock? Just come in!"
Old Lin pulled at his few remaining hairs and spoke in a bad tone.
Xinhua Bookstore is affiliated to the central government.
As a general manager, he is at least a department-level cadre.
As a result, he was not only busy with major tasks, but also had to participate in translating mountains of foreign language materials every day because he had a foundation in foreign languages.
Nowadays, when you see subordinates who can't share your worries, how can you have a good tone?
"General Manager Lin, I'm here to submit a foreign language test for review."
"Test review?" The general manager raised his head and finally stopped pulling out the pitifully thin hair.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
"Hurry, hurry! Let me see!"
I was scolded as soon as I came in. Why didn’t I tell you earlier?
The supervisor was feeling miserable, but he didn't dare to force it out.
"Here, here is this." The supervisor quickly presented the item.
Mr. Lin took it and looked at it carefully.
The more you look, the brighter those small, single-lidded eyes appear.
"Great! Great, great! This translation is very sophisticated and accurate. The only wording that doesn't match the answer is also in my opinion the better translation!"
"Which university's foreign language teacher is looking for a translation job? We must keep him!"
The general manager's poker face rarely showed a big smile.
"General Manager, she's not a university foreign language teacher... She's just a little girl with only a high school diploma..."
