After all, the college entrance examination has only been resumed for a few years, and many people have no access to these things.
Even college students may not be able to do this job.
Zheng Wangshu went there alone without caring whether he knew anyone there.
When he arrived at the newspaper office, Zheng Wangshu said something to the security guard and went straight to the HR person in charge of recruitment to ask questions.
"Hello, comrade. May I ask if you are hiring any translators?"
The person in charge was a middle-aged man wearing round-framed glasses. When he heard her question, he looked up.
"Do you speak foreign languages?"
The tone of voice clearly showed disbelief. The girl was dressed quite smartly, but she didn't look educated, let alone able to speak foreign languages.
"Yes, I'm very fluent in English. I came here to find a part-time job."
Zheng Wangshu could naturally feel that the other party looked down on her, but she was a person with a stable mood and would not lose her temper even if she was looked down upon.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he obviously didn't take it seriously.
"Young comrade, this is not a place for you to joke around. You're very proficient in English? Do you know what level of proficiency is considered? You're young, so don't brag. It's not good."
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zheng Wangshu was too lazy to waste time talking. Let's see if he is capable or not.
"Did I brag? Just test me. If I really had no ability, I wouldn't come here and waste your time."
If it were someone else, the person in charge would probably turn hostile and kick the person out on the spot. After all, Zheng Wangshu didn't even have an introducer, and he just came here and said he was looking for a part-time job. How could such a good thing be possible?
Nowadays, no matter what unit you are in, there is only one position for each person. If there is no shortage of translators, there will be no recruitment from the public.
Zheng Wangshu was different from the others. He seemed well-educated and patient, so the person in charge had some good impression of him.
"Okay, since you've said that, I'll take you over and let someone test you. Coincidentally, there are two other people applying for the job besides you, so the three of you can take the test together."
The person in charge stood up as he spoke and led Zheng Wangshu directly to the translation room.
When she arrived, she was handed the form and asked to fill it out.
Zheng Wangshu took a look and found that the form contained some simple information, which he filled out in no time.
After filling it out, I realized there was a man and a woman standing next to me. They also seemed to be applying for the position of translator.
After a while, a middle-aged woman walked in with a stack of documents in her hand. She glanced at Zheng Wangshu and the other three, then took a form beside her and took a quick look at it.
Then a few more smiles appeared on his face, and he looked at one of the female comrades, "Caixia, right? Did you wait long? I had something urgent to do, so I came here late."
The girl named Caixia was dressed very elegantly. When she heard what the middle-aged woman said, she quickly responded politely.
"I haven't been waiting long. I just got here."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business.
Zheng Wangshu finally understood that the two people knew each other and probably had greeted each other in advance.
The young man standing by was also thoughtful when he saw this.
The middle-aged woman coughed and took out a manuscript directly from the folder.
"The three of you should sit down and translate together."
Zheng Wangshu and the others sat down and took a quick look at the manuscript.
It was just an ordinary article, and it was relatively easy for Zheng Wangshu to translate it directly into English.
With a pen in hand, start taking action.
The two comrades next to her were a little surprised when they saw this. They had to think about it before they started writing, but this female comrade seemed to have no need to think.
Zheng Wangshu didn't care what they thought and wrote at her own pace. Her English writing was very good, with neat and beautiful handwriting, the kind that would be praised by her English teacher.
Zheng Wangshu translated the manuscript of about a thousand words in less than twenty minutes.
The middle-aged woman frowned subconsciously, and even the person in charge beside her was not optimistic.
Is this girl just writing nonsense here? Those two comrades both have backgrounds. They have only written a little bit now, and she has translated it all directly. How could it be so fast?
"Director Gao, where did you find this person? We have to be very careful when choosing translators. We can't just mess around. Some people always like to fill in the gaps."
What she said was very clear, that Zheng Wangshu was pretending to know everything and was just writing nonsense here.
When Gao Dehai heard what Zhou Jiangmei said, he frowned and felt that Zheng Wangshu was unreliable.
Zheng Wangshu sneered in his heart. This woman seemed to be a leader, but she completely rejected his manuscript before even reading it. She was not a very good person.
Zhang Caixia on the side also glanced at Zheng Wangshu with a bit of contempt in her eyes, as if Zheng Wangshu was a person who was trying to attract attention.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the two of them finally finished translating the manuscripts.
Zheng Wangshu was feeling a bit bored at this moment.
"Now that the manuscripts have been translated, let me see who has the highest accuracy."
Although Zhou Jiangmei doesn't know much about foreign languages, she has a standard answer here, so it's okay to read it accordingly.
Zhang Caixia was originally confident, but when she saw Zhou Jiangmei's increasingly serious expression, she suddenly felt a little panicked.
Seeing this, Gao Dehai, who was standing by, was also curious and couldn't help asking.
"Editor Zhou, how's it going? Who has the highest accuracy?"
Zhou Jiangmei raised her head and looked at Zheng Wangshu in disbelief.
"How long have you been learning foreign languages?"
Zheng Wangshu straightened his back and said, "I taught myself foreign languages many years ago."
When everyone heard that she was self-taught, their eyes almost fell out.
How smart must someone be to learn a foreign language by themselves? They must have been taught by someone.
Zhang Caixia was a little anxious.
"Editor Zhou, you haven't told me who was hired yet?"
Zhou Jiangmei looked unhappy. Zhang Caixia was arranged by a friend and had informed her in advance, but among the three people's manuscripts, Zheng Wangshu's translation was obviously better.
Not only is the translation good, the handwriting is also clearer, and the key is that they are very fast. There is almost no need to compare who is better.
If she didn't use Zheng Wangshu and used someone else instead, she would have a hard time explaining herself to her superiors if this got to their ears.
"As for the manuscript, Comrade Zheng Wangshu's accuracy is higher."
Sure enough, Zhang Caixia and the young man's faces fell when they heard the information. After all, they had been thinking about this position for a long time and had prepared for it for a long time before coming.
I didn't expect to be squeezed out by someone who suddenly appeared.
Zheng Wangshu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Editor Zhou."
Gao Dehai on the side laughed out loud. He didn't expect that the person he found temporarily was the most capable one. He thought that the person he recruited this time was good and it solved a big problem for the newspaper.
After all, translators are urgently needed now, and Zheng Wangshu seems to be quite capable.
"Then let's go with Comrade Xiao Zheng. He's very efficient and can handle the large number of manuscripts."
Gao Dehai on the side said with a smile.
