"Principal, you're looking for me?"
It was not until there was a knock on the door and Ms. Liang, a female teacher in her fifties, came in that Jiang Wenxu was in a daze for a moment and suddenly realized that he had asked Xu Jinning to come here today to let her go abroad to study.
"It's like this, Teacher Liang, Xu Jinning said she can speak multiple languages and translate, so I wanted to ask you to test her." It would be best not to let a little girl brag at such a young age.
Jiang Wenxu almost said the following sentence.
But somehow I held the words back when they came to my lips, and then I thought about what had just happened.
If everything that just happened was not an illusion that he saw and heard due to mental problems, then this classmate Xu Jinning was not an ordinary person.
Since she is not an ordinary person, it doesn't seem strange that she is proficient in those things.
He cannot just define the students casually, that would be wrong.
Let’s let Teacher Liang take the test first.
"Student Xu Jinning, Teacher Liang is a teacher our school has just hired. She is preparing for her first day of class today. She will be the dean of your School of Foreign Languages. She was one of the first batch of people who went abroad to study and is a talent that belongs to our country. Now let Teacher Liang test you. Are you willing?" Jiang Wenxu asked Xu Jinning.
Xu Jinning looked at the charming female teacher who was wearing a cheongsam and had an elegant temperament.
Nodded.
"Okay, then you guys start." Jiang Wenxu said hurriedly. I had to quickly take out a pen and paper to write down the information just now, otherwise I would forget it later or remember it incorrectly.
So, while Jiang Wenxu was frantically memorizing information, Teacher Liang began to test Xu Jinning.
"Student Xu Jinning, may I ask you how many languages you know? What are they?" Teacher Liang started by asking directly in English.
"Of course, I can..." Xu Jinning also answered directly in English. As soon as he opened his mouth, his standard English pronunciation was very standard and pleasant, which immediately made Teacher Liang's eyes light up.
Then, she kept changing different languages to ask Xu Jinning various questions. No matter what language she used, Xu Jinning answered in the same language without any hesitation.
As he asked questions, Teacher Liang's eyes became brighter and brighter, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper, and he even looked at Xu Jinning as if he was looking at a treasure.
Not only that, he would also quote some contents from documents or famous scientific magazines and ask Xu Jinning to translate them into Chinese, or speak some Chinese and ask Xu Jinning to translate them into other languages.
Xu Jinning did everything she asked. As soon as she finished speaking, he translated it without thinking, and the translation was better than Teacher Liang had expected.
There were some translations that even she herself felt could not be better than Xu Jinning's.
In fact, the test had already been determined at this point, but Teacher Liang couldn't help it. It was a rare opportunity to meet someone who knew so many languages and was so capable, so she couldn't stop herself and continued the test (communication).
…
So, when Jiang Wenxu finished memorizing the information and came to his senses, he heard two pleasant voices in his ears, both speaking foreign languages.
Although he didn't understand what was said, it sounded very nice.
There is one question that if you don’t know, you might think it’s from a foreigner.
When Jiang Wenxu turned his head to look, he found that the one who pronounced more like a foreigner was actually Xu Jinning.
Although he couldn't understand what they were saying, the two sounds were so pleasant that he was immersed in them unknowingly.
In the end, if the bell for the end of get out of class hadn’t rang, the three of them would still be immersed in it.
Xu Jinning did it at first because it was a test, but in the end, she also felt that it was fun to communicate with such a gentle teacher Liang.
So, no one stopped us and time passed by unnoticed.
"Teacher Liang, let's stop here." Seeing that the bell for the end of get out of class had rung and Teacher Liang had not stopped yet, Jiang Wenxu hurriedly called for a stop.
Teacher Liang, who was stopped, had a hint of regret in his eyes, but he seemed to remember something and his eyes lit up again.
"Teacher Liang, what do you think of Xu Jinning's language and translation skills? Does she still need to study abroad?" In fact, although he didn't understand it just now, looking at Teacher Liang's expression and the fact that Xu Jinning had no lags in the conversation with Teacher Liang and was confident throughout, Jiang Wenxu knew that his question was actually a bit pointless.
However, I still have to ask.
"Principal, do you need to ask me this?" Teacher Liang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Principal, Xu Jinning is a language genius. She now has mastered a lot of language knowledge, almost catching up with me as a teacher. You heard what she said just now, there is no problem at all."

"I even think that Xu Jinning doesn't need to attend classes at the School of Foreign Languages anymore. She can even take the graduation exam directly, get a certificate, or even stay on as a teacher at the school."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately shook her head again.
"No, Principal Jiang, I think Xu Jinning is ready to work. I suggest she go to the National Translation Department. She is fully capable of doing that now."
"I can ask Mr. Zhang to arrange it."
Teacher Liang’s husband works as a leader in the National Translation Department.
Recently, the husband has been complaining to her about his troubles, saying that there are too few young and promising people in the translation department and they are in great need of manpower. He asked his wife if she could recommend anyone.
Teacher Liang hasn’t encountered it yet and can only shake his head.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why she came to Beijing University to serve as the dean of the School of Foreign Languages. She also came here with the purpose of selecting talents.
Unexpectedly, on the first day, before class even started, I met an excellent candidate.
Moreover, there is no need for any training and one can directly enter the National Translation Department to work.
Teacher Liang can guarantee that her husband will definitely be satisfied.
Jiang Wenxu was fine when he heard the first few words, but when he heard the last sentence, his eyes widened and he said hurriedly, "Teacher Liang, you can't poach people like this. This is a top student from Jingshi University. He was the top scorer in the college entrance examination and got in."
Teacher Liang was not surprised at Jiang Wenxu's words. She had just realized Xu Jinning's strength.
"Principal Jiang, I'm not trying to poach your students. Students like you will have to work sooner or later. If you have the ability, it would be better for you to work earlier."
"What I said is true. For a student like Xu Jinning with abilities, it would be a waste of several years to continue to be a student in classes. It's not worth it." Teacher Liang was giving sincere advice.
