The meeting concluded successfully, and all attendees left in an orderly manner.
Ji Yuzhi took off the headset that had been with them throughout the translation process for the past few days. He lightly touched his brow with his fingertips. The intense tension suddenly eased, and his temples ached a little.
There was a dinner party after the meeting, an occasion that the studio staff couldn't attend. Everyone packed up and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Ji."
Someone called out to them from behind.
Ji Yuzhi turned around and saw that the person who came was the assistant next to the person in charge.
"Mr. Li." Ji Yuzhi shook hands with the visitor.
"Mr. Ji, the person in charge requests your presence." The person extended his palm, gesturing for you to enter.
Everyone looked around, but their gazes eventually settled on Ji Yuzhi's face.
Compared to the doubts of the others, Ji Yuzhi appeared more composed. He handed the notebook he was holding to Zheng An: "You guys wait for me in the car."
He left alone with the person who came.
He also had doubts. Before he came, the person in charge had repeatedly emphasized that the final handover of the translation would take place a week later. He really had no clue what to do when he was suddenly called on like this.
Lost in thought, Ji Yuzhi was led to an office backstage.
The person in charge was waiting for him inside.
"You've done a fantastic job translating these past few days, Xiao Ji." The person in charge was a smiling middle-aged man, around forty or fifty years old. Seeing Ji Yuzhi arrive, he stood up with a smile and shook hands with him.
"Thank you, Minister Zhao, for giving our studio this opportunity."
"Of course. You were selected through a rigorous process, and it's all thanks to your own hard work. There's no need to be so modest."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Minister Zhao checked the time.
"I won't stand on ceremony. The main reason I've called you here is to ask if you'd be interested in doing an internship at the United Nations."
Minister Zhao explained, "Every year, the United Nations provides internship opportunities for students from various universities. Your school should also have some openings..."
Ji Yuzhi didn't ask Minister Zhao why he knew about his school and his status as a student, because after all, if they could get into this kind of event, their identities, both past and present, would be thoroughly investigated.
“However, school places usually go through multiple rounds of selection. I saw that your studio is really full of talented people. I was thinking that if you are interested, I can give you a letter of introduction, which is equivalent to direct internal referral, without having to go through the selection process again.”
“A UN internship is a great opportunity. You’ll be involved in a wide range of topics, and it’s a fast track to improvement for someone in the translation field.”
Ji Yuzhi listened quietly.
"So? What do you think?" the person in charge asked.
Ji Yuzhi did not answer immediately. Two seconds after the person in charge spoke, he slowly said, "On behalf of the studio members, I would like to thank Minister Zhao for this opportunity. If possible, of course."
"I knew it." The person in charge clapped his hands and laughed. "Someone like you wouldn't miss such an opportunity. However, my abilities are limited, and I can only provide three direct referral slots. Go back and decide who to send over for two months. Contact me when you've made your decision, and I'll issue you a letter of introduction."
Ji Yuzhi nodded, stood up, shook hands with the person in charge again, and left.
In the parking lot, a group of people craned their necks inside the bus, waiting for Ji Yuzhi to return.
After a week of hard work, everyone was exhausted, but their curiosity kept them awake, waiting for Ji Yuzhi.
About half an hour later, Ji Yuzhi boarded the bus.
The venue was quite far from the hotel.
As soon as he came up, everyone started asking him a barrage of questions.
"What's going on? What do you want?"
"Is there something wrong with us?"
"We made a mistake, and you got yelled at?"
The car started moving slowly the moment Ji Yu arrived.
Once he was settled, he spoke: "Neither..."
...
Zhen Tian and Wen Jiujiu checked their watches.
I should have been back by now.
Zhen Tian felt a little uneasy.
"How about we go out and take a look?" Wen Jiujiu suggested.
"good."
The two walked together and stood at the hotel entrance, eagerly waiting.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, the bus gradually came into view. The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The bus doors opened, and Ji Yuzhi was the first to get off.
Upon seeing him, Zhen Tian ran towards him.
"Zhizhi? Why are you back so late? You scared me to death."
Ji Yuzhi caught her without moving an inch. He gently patted her head to comfort her.
Wen Jiujiu wasn't as anxious as Zhen Tian. When she walked to the bus, everyone was jumping off like fish.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy.
"What? You got the money? You're all so happy?" Wen Jiujiu asked, puzzled.
"Jiu Jiu, you don't know, we're going to the heavens!"
"Huh? Are you sick?"
"No. The boss told us we have a chance to intern at the United Nations!"
Wen Jiujiu is quite popular; everyone gathered around her and she explained things clearly in just a few words.
"My goodness, this meeting is a treasure trove!" Wen Jiujiu exclaimed excitedly.
"Isn't it a pity there are only three spots?" Zheng An sighed.
"Huh? Then who's going?"
The group walked into the hotel lobby.
Ji Yuzhi happened to hear this.
He rubbed his temples and said, "Everyone, take a break. We'll have a meeting in half an hour to decide who goes to the United Nations."
"Yes, boss."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhen Tian, arm in arm with Ji Yuzhi, got into the elevator: "Zhizhi, you'll go, right? The United Nations, it sounds so high and mighty. You're so capable, you'll definitely go."
"You're going to be gone for two months, do you still want me to go?" Ji Yuzhi teased her deliberately.
"How...how long?" Zhen Tian almost bit her tongue.
"Two months!"
"Huh?" Zhen Tian's face was full of confusion.
Ji Yuzhi chuckled softly and patted the back of her hand.
Just before the elevator stopped, Zhen Tian made her decision: "We should still go. This should be a great opportunity, and I don't want you to miss it."
Ji Yuzhi was surprised that she would say that, and looked down at her with a slightly astonished expression.
Zhen Tian's lips pressed into a straight line, a look of inner turmoil.
Afraid of making the little girl cry at any moment, Ji Yuzhi pulled Zhen Tian into his arms and walked forward, saying, "Let's talk about it later, I haven't thought about it yet."
Zhen Tian stared at him anxiously, "What's there to not have thought about? We should seize any opportunity that comes our way."
After saying that, she thought for a moment and added, "If you're choosing not to go because you're worried about me, that won't do. You don't need to worry about me. It's just two...two months. I can manage."
"I promise I'll eat well, sleep well, and try not to think about you. You can go in peace."
Ji Yuzhi couldn't help teasing her again: "Why do I feel like you're trying to push me away? Are you tired of being with me?"
"How could I possibly be annoyed..."
