Chapter 146

Chen Yuwei has been working for almost a month. From the beginning, she said she could speak English.

However, seeing that she only had a high school diploma, the newspaper leaders didn't care.

They thought she just knew some simple spoken English. After all, the requirements for translation work were too high, so they didn't think too much about it.

After Chen Yuwei arrived at work, she found that the atmosphere in the newspaper office was rather solemn.

"Sister Zhao, what's going on?"

Chen Yuwei quietly asked the old employee beside her.

"Teacher Wang was working overtime on translation at home last night and fainted. He almost got into trouble."

Sister Zhao lowered her voice, her face looking very solemn.

"They said he was overworked, and Mr. Wang had some underlying illnesses, so he almost didn't survive."

Chen Yuwei was also a little worried.

Teacher Wang was the only one in their unit whose translation accuracy could reach 98%. If he fell, it would be a big blow to the newspaper.

"Yes, the director is very angry now."

The little girl at the opposite table also came over.

She was full of envy. After all, the monthly income of several teachers who knew foreign languages ​​and could take on translation work was many times higher than theirs.

Although it is hard work, the treatment is indeed enviable.

Fortunately, translation requires real skills as the foundation. Otherwise, even if you have connections and channels, you can’t do it.

Therefore, they are also envious, not jealous.

"Comrade Yuwei."

Deputy Director Yan Daoming walked into the office with a helpless look on his face.

"Director Yan."

Chen Yuwei stood up and looked at Yan Daoming in surprise.

She was just thinking about how to recommend herself to the translation team, but unexpectedly, Deputy Director Yan, who was in charge of this area, came to her on his own initiative.

"When you joined the company, you seemed to be fluent in English."

Yan Daoming did not hold out hope. After all, as a high school student, the amount of English he could learn was limited. Even if he taught himself, it would be almost impossible for him to reach the level where he could translate.

But he had no other choice. Once Lao Wang fell down, he would be delayed for at least two or three days.

After that, even after I recovered, I couldn’t stay up late and work overtime anymore, and the pressure suddenly increased.

Asking Chen Yuwei is simply a last-ditch effort to try one's luck.

"Yes, Director Yan."

Chen Yuwei looked calm.

"Xiao Chen, you can do the translation. Although you want to share the burden for the unit, you must do it within your ability and don't force yourself."

Sister Zhao is a nice person. Although she doesn’t quite believe in Chen Yuwei’s ability, she speaks very gently, and every word she says is from Chen Yuwei’s perspective.

Yan Daoming also looked at Chen Yuwei seriously.

Chen Yuwei hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything else, just expressed her willingness to give it a try.

It wouldn't waste any time to give it a try, so Yan Daoming agreed.

I went to the translation team. The other people there were all veteran employees and college students.

When they saw Chen Yuwei, a woman who had just graduated from high school and was incredibly beautiful, their faces looked unhappy.

"Director Yan, even if you are in a hurry to work, you can't joke about such an important translation job."

Among them, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lin, who was the most senior and oldest, frowned and looked at Yan Daoming with disapproval.

Yan Daoming ignored him.

This old Lin always relies on his seniority, does not care about the tasks assigned to him, and often acts on his own.

He had long been dissatisfied with Lao Lin. If it weren't for the scarcity of talent, he would not have tolerated him.

Seeing that Yan Daoming ignored him and took Chen Yuwei to the desk nearby to arrange a test translation, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lin looked unhappy.

Looking at Chen Yuwei, he snorted coldly and continued to do his own things.

Chen Yuwei glanced at the documents arranged by Deputy Director Yan. They were simply too simple.

She understood the meaning at a glance, almost like reading Chinese.

Even when it came to some professional terms, she did not hesitate at all.

“As expected, you are proficient in English.”

Chen Yuwei was happy.

Yan Daoming was just about to remind her of some precautions when he saw Chen Yuwei start writing quickly.

The writing is like a god, but it seems like he is just scribbling nonsense, and it feels like he has not put any thought into it.

Yan Daoming frowned, this was too unreliable.

Even Lao Wang wouldn't dare to act so recklessly.

This is not a joke!

He also knew some English. With a gloomy face, he walked to the desk and checked what Chen Yuwei had written.

Several senior employees who were translating and observing the situation silently shook their heads.

Xiao Chen is still too young and impatient. He is so eager to stand out that he even acted recklessly in front of the strict deputy director. In the future, Xiao Chen's work in the newspaper may not be smooth.

Except for Lao Lin who was gloating over the misfortune, everyone else really felt it was a pity.

But the more Yan Daoming looked, the more surprised he became.

Judging from his decent English, there is no problem at all!

In other words, no matter what the accuracy is, at least the sentence is coherent and looks like that.

An hour later, Chen Yuwei had finished translating the entire 2,000-word article.

Yan Daoming was so shocked that he was speechless. He looked at it again and again before calling the other translators over.

No one checked it, and their faces became very interesting.

A female senior named Bao looked at Chen Yuwei in shock.

She was very sure that even if she translated the article, she could not do better than Chen Yuwei.

There were several places where she was unsure, and she felt that the vocabulary she came up with was not as professional as the one used by Chen Yuwei.

The others were similar.

Only Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lin looked even uglier.

impossible!

It must be this article. Xiao Chen happened to have read it before and was quite familiar with it, so he was able to translate it quickly and accurately.

If she were to write a less popular piece of content, she might not be able to do it.

Just say it when you think of it.

After hearing what Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lin said, the others frowned slightly.

Although there is some truth in what he said, they all know Lao Lin, and this is definitely just making things difficult for him.

"Director, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lin, I can translate a few more articles. Any type of article is fine."

Chen Yuwei was very calm.

I have been cannon fodder for a long time. This mentality is really stable.

She didn't take this ordinary, petty-minded leader and a little bit of doubt seriously at all.

Deputy Director Yan just had the same idea.

Over the next half day, Chen Yuwei translated a total of five articles of various types and types.

After being passed around by many people, no one could find any problem with it.

"You go back to the office first. I will submit all these articles for inspection. The results will be available in three days at most."

After Chen Yuwei returned to the office, several colleagues in the office had complicated expressions.

It was hard to accept that someone who had just been together for less than a month and whom they had never taken seriously made such a shocking statement.

It's the same no matter what era it is.

People generally like to compare themselves with people who are similar to themselves.

If you are much better than him from the beginning, he will not have the idea of ​​comparing with you.

Chen Yuwei didn't care at all. She just worked hard and talked with her colleagues as usual.

The next day at noon, Deputy Director Yan rushed into the office, his face flushed with excitement.

"Xiao Chen, you are so amazing, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
