Chapter 266: Fierce Competition
After they chatted for a while, Lin Siqiao said goodbye. She was not the kind of person who was tactless.
Mr. Kawanda obviously had something to discuss with his old friend today, so it would be a shame for her to just stand here.
Just before going upstairs, Kawanda suddenly turned around again.
"Translator Lin, do you have time recently? I would like to ask you to help my wife design some spring clothes."
Valentine's Day is coming soon, and it's time to buy his wife some beautiful clothes and jewelry.
Lin is the translator, and Monita will definitely be satisfied with the clothes she designed.
Lin Siqiao suddenly realized what was going on when she heard this. Oh, that’s right, how could she have forgotten about Valentine’s Day.
There is no custom of celebrating this festival in China, but foreigners do.
Then couple packages, couple jewelry, flowers and chocolates must be arranged!
Thinking of this, Lin Siqiao looked at Mr. Kawanda with more sincerity.
This man is more than just her big thick legs, he is simply her benefactor!
Lin Siqiao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Sure, Mr. Kawanda, if you need anything, you can go directly to the Friendship Store. I have time recently."
"Or you can come here."
"I promise that I will give you the best price!"
After hearing this, Kawanda burst out laughing. Whether the price was favorable or not was secondary.
He now hoped that translator Lin would take it easy that day, otherwise his wallet might not be able to bear it.
After the two agreed on a specific time, they went about their own business.
Here, as soon as Kawanda sat down, Assistant Wu brought over the meal and coffee.
Kawanda was a little surprised. They haven't ordered yet?
"That's it, sir."
"This is something our manager Lin specifically asked us to do. She said that meeting by chance is worse than meeting in person. This is a little token of her appreciation."
After saying that, he asked the staff to make a pot of Pu'er tea.
As early as when she was in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Lin Siqiao knew that Mr. Kawanda loved Pu'er, and this was also a gift from her.
"Translator Lin Youxin, please tell me thank you."
"Yes, please enjoy your meal."
After Assistant Wu finished speaking, he stepped back, leaving them time and space.
"Come, try this Pu'er."
Kawanda poured a glass for his old friend, and Manas took a sip and put it down.
I have been in China for some time and occasionally drink it when I attend meetings in China.
The tea is good, but he personally prefers coffee.
Especially the coffee in the restaurant in the embassy area, the taste is very much to his liking and the taste is also good.
Just as I was thinking about it, I looked down and saw the latte art in the coffee cup. Looking at the shape of the petals, it seemed to be...Fleur-de-lis.
This is the national flower of the country.
Manas was deeply moved to see this in a foreign country.
He now understood why Kawanda praised the translator Comrade Lin so highly.
On the other side, the Friendship Store.
Looking at Lin Siqiao who had come back, Director Hu was dumbfounded.
The little girl had only been out for an hour or so, but ideas were popping up one after another like mushrooms after rain.
However, Director Zhang who was standing by was so delighted when he heard this.
Met such a capable employee.
What can they do? They can just follow behind and enjoy the fun.
Lin Siqiao said everything that needed to be said, and let Director Hu arrange the rest.
It's only the 2nd, and there are still more than ten days until Valentine's Day, so there's no need to be too anxious.
In the future, she will have to spend more time on the assessment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
I just don't know what the specific test will be this time.
However, Lin Siqiao has always been very confident in this regard. It's just an interview and a written test. He will compete when the time comes.
When it comes to taking exams, Lin Siqiao has never been afraid of anyone.
After returning home, Lin Siqiao first cleaned himself up briefly and then went into the space.
The massage chair was on gentle mode, so comfortable that she didn't even want to get up.
If Lin Siqiao hadn't heard the knock on the door, he would have fallen asleep.
The door opened, and it was Fu Jinglan.
"Aunt Fu, come in quickly."
The two sat on the sofa, and Fu Jinglan asked Lin Siqiao to stop working, as she didn't have anything to do.
I just come to see her after get off work and talk to her about the upcoming assessment.
But no one knows what the specific test will be.
Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs led this overseas visit, in addition to the two ministers and deputy ministers in charge of the economy, there were also deputy governors and deputy mayors of local provinces and cities accompanying him.
In addition, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission have also sent staff, all of whom are high-end talents from various industries.
The above meaning is also very clear. The purpose of this delegation's visit is not only to conduct an investigation, but more to learn from others.
Considering that everyone is unfamiliar with the place when they go abroad, if they don’t have a reliable and capable translator accompanying them, they may not even be able to leave the house, let alone study.
Hence, this open recruitment took place.
Lin Siqiao understood after hearing this, but she didn't want to pursue the deeper reasons. She just listened to what the superiors said.
However, this opportunity is so rare that Lin Siqiao estimates that the competition will be fierce.
Sure enough, after a while, Lin Siqiao heard a piece of news from Fu Jinglan.
It is said that there are more than 200 people who have registered this time, and most of them are students from the School of International Studies.
Lin Siqiao had heard a little about the Foreign Affairs University.
When the China Foreign Affairs University was adjusting its schools, Minister Yang had suggested that she go to the university.
Although this school may not sound as famous as Peking University and Tsinghua University, the China Foreign Affairs University actually has a very impressive background.
It is currently the only university directly under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and its role is to train diplomatic cadres and international issues research talents for the country.
Therefore, the vast majority of China’s current diplomats, overseas personnel, and translators in the Translation Department graduated from this school.
Those who can enter this school must be very capable.
In other words, Lin Siqiao really encountered a difficult problem this time.
But Lin Siqiao was not panicked at all. The more interesting it was to compete with such strong players.
Even if she lost and missed this opportunity, she would have nothing to regret.
The emergence of talented people is an exciting and happy thing.
At worst, she can just try harder next time.
Seeing that she didn't have any particularly big reaction, Fu Jinglan felt relieved. After sitting for a while, she got up and prepared to go back.
Lin Siqiao quickly took out a portion of Jinling's local specialties and asked her to take them away, and Fu Jinglan did not refuse.
"Don't cook on the 15th. Come to my place and I'll make you some glutinous rice balls."
People in the south eat glutinous rice balls on this day, which are similar to the Yuanxiao in the north.
Lin Siqiao didn't refuse after hearing that. She was fine being alone on weekdays, but during holidays, she still preferred to be around more people.
