"I happen to have two manuscripts that need translating, and they're roughly the same level of difficulty. Why don't you pick an opponent from the translation agency and have an open competition?"
Bai Liping had actually come up with this idea a long time ago, and was just waiting for Jiang Ningyan to become anxious and angry, and jump into the fire pit.
Unexpectedly, she remained calm and collected. "And then?"
Bai Liping pretended to be embarrassed. "Everyone can vote for your manuscript anonymously. If the results show that your level is not good enough, I'm afraid you will have to leave the translation agency."
She had already inquired about it. Jiang Ningyan used to work in the propaganda department of the army. At most, she translated some documents and notices, which did not involve any technical skills.
It goes without saying that he must have begged the Lu family to arrange a leisurely position for him.
The members of the Kyoto University Translation Society were all personally guided by her, and their professional level was better than that of many translators in newspapers in society.
Any one of them could crush Jiang Ningyan into nothing.
"What if I win?"
Jiang Ningyan actually wanted to laugh, but she held it back.
Others are rushing to slap her in the face, so why would she refuse?
Tian Yujie looked arrogant and took a step forward. "If you win, I'll let you be the president of the translation agency."
She had worked very hard to become the president, but since she was putting it on the line, she felt no psychological pressure at all.
Because the opponent is so weak that it's ridiculous.
"Okay." Jiang Ningyan looked at her with a smile, "I choose you as my opponent."
Tian Yujie couldn't help herself, and a mocking smile flashed across her cold face. "Are you sure? I'm the best."
"That's settled then." Bai Liping made the final decision.
"I'll give you some time to prepare. In a week, I'll send the manuscripts to you individually. After translation, all students in our major will vote anonymously."
She was afraid that Jiang Ningyan would change her mind and go back on her word, so she left quickly after making the announcement.
With a chuckle, Pan Cheng laughed out loud.
He joked loudly with the person next to him, "It's really interesting that there are people who are as thick-skinned as a city wall."
"Actually, there's no need to force it. Just apologize openly to everyone, admit you cheated, and get out of the translation agency with your tail between your legs. We can still be magnanimous and forgive you."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ningyan walked in front of him.
Pan Cheng sneered, his face full of complacency, "Oh, you're scared so soon?"
Jiang Ningyan raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a leisurely tone, "If I win, shouldn't you apologize for investigating my grades?"
Pan Cheng's face froze, and he jumped up from his chair, "Who checked your grades?"
His family has connections in the Education Bureau. His cousin's seventh uncle's second aunt's eldest grandson works as a clerk in the Education Bureau, so it's no big deal for him to retrieve the transcript of a township high school.
Jiang Ningyan didn't have time to argue with him.
"In a word, do you apologize?"
Pan Cheng clenched his fists and sneered, gnashing his teeth.
"If you win, I, Pan Cheng, will not only apologize, but also write 500 self-criticisms and post them on the bulletin board. How about that?"
"Okay." Jiang Ningyan said a word and turned around gracefully.
It is said that there is a week of preparation time, but in reality it is almost the same whether there is a week or not.
Jiang Ningyan attended class as usual, ignoring the strange looks in the classroom.
…
Tuanjie Village.
“Ouch!”
Jiang Yaozu yelled, jumped up and threw the egg in his hand to the ground.
"You idiot, you want to burn me to death, don't you?"
Jiang Haitang's face flushed and she became angry.
"I just cooked the meal, and the eggs are hot, aren't they? How come you're harder to please than the city's young masters?"
Jiang Yaozu slammed the table, and his hoarse and unpleasant voice rose eight octaves.
"Bah, what a disgrace! You won't serve me, but instead you go and serve some guy named Lu. In the end, you're kicked out anyway."
"You can't even light a fire or cook properly. Do you believe I'll ask my parents to kick you out?"
Jiang Haitang was so angry that her chest heaved and her pretty face was distorted.
How could she have such a useless brother!
He was a 1.75 meter tall guy with arms and legs. After being expelled from school for getting into a fight, he just stayed at home and relied on his parents to farm for support.
She is the elder sister, yes, but why should she do all the work?
"What are you arguing about? It's so annoying!"
Jiang Meng walked into the house covered in dust, his cracked hands were covered in dirt.
Seeing Jiang Haitang standing there stupidly with empty hands, he was furious. What kind of girl doesn't have any common sense at such an age?
"Er Ya, come on, haven't you seen your father come back?"
Jiang Haitang stamped her feet and started complaining.
"Dad, look, Yaozu is throwing a tantrum and dropped the eggs on the ground!"
She worked so hard to pick it up from the chicken coop, and after steaming it, it was thrown away like this!
Jiang Meng's dark face suddenly darkened when he saw the broken eggs on the ground.
He raised his hand and slapped Jiang Haitang.
"Dad!" Jiang Haitang finally stood firm, covered his face, and howled in anger.
"Your brother is growing up, and you're just fooling him with an egg?" Jiang Meng glared at her with disgust.
"Our food is running low so quickly, it must be you who stole it. Stop talking nonsense and bring the food. Can't you see your brother is starving?"
Jiang Haitang was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
The person she hated most in this world was her elder sister who was born with a good life and a good face, but was lazy and gluttonous and ended up becoming an officer's wife.
The second most annoying thing is this shameless family!
She went to the kitchen and filled three bowls of porridge with a broken bowl with a missing corner.
He turned sideways and glanced out the door with resentful eyes.
He Qiuju also came back and hugged her big fat son, asking him about his well-being.
It’s just right, we are a family of three, let you have a reunion!
Jiang Haitang took out a small brown glass bottle from the corner and poured a lot of it into each bowl.
Her expression softened a bit, and she lowered her head and brought the meal out.
"Yaozu, I was wrong just now. I apologize to you."
"Calm down and drink your porridge."
Jiang Yaozu exhaled through his nose, "Humph, you don't know what's good for you until you get beaten."
Jiang Haitang acted as if he didn't hear anything and still had that expression of being bullied.
He Qiuju found it annoying and waved away in disgust.
"Okay, go to the kitchen and have half a bowl of porridge by yourself. You won't get any dry food."
Fortunately, she used to think that Erya had a promising future, so she let Erya order her around all day long.
In the end, she, the old lady, got nothing. How could she not be angry?
Jiang Haitang didn't even blink, but lowered her head and went to the kitchen.
She stared at the spider web in the corner.
Two big black-bellied spiders were weaving a web, one circle, two circles...
The time is almost up.
There were a few bangs, and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground came from the outer room.
Jiang Haitang gave a sinister smile.
Torture her? Then let them all die.
She squatted beside the stove and began to grope laboriously along the cracks between the bricks.
After a while, her face lit up with joy.
With a strong tug, he pulled out something wrapped in a thick plastic bag.
Before she turned around, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from the outer room.
