Chapter 84 Rejection
Shen Sangyu couldn't tell whether it would work or not.
She had a good relationship with Mao Jie, and if she introduced someone to Mao Jie, he would definitely agree.
Zhuang Xiuhong must know some English, but not much. It was impossible for her to do translation with such a half-baked level, and she couldn't even touch the door.
Shen Sangyu spoke two sentences in English, and no one in the audience could understand.
Zhuang Xiuhong was shocked when she heard Shen Sangyu's
spoken English for the first time. The English teacher she had taught before was not standard, with a strong rural flavor. She had listened to the tapes before and found that Shen Sangyu's English was better than the English in the tapes, and it was more real.
Shen Sangyu's speech was not fast, but she only heard a few words in it, and she was not sure. As for what Shen Sangyu said, she did not understand it at all.
Zhuang Xiuhong's face flushed, and she did not understand why Shen Sangyu wanted to embarrass herself in front of so many people.
What's worse is that her mother touched her shoulder and asked, "My dear, what did your sister-in-law say?"
Zhuang Xiuhong gritted her teeth, not wanting to admit that she did not understand what Shen Sangyu said.
Zhuang's mother was puzzled, not understanding why the lady suddenly stopped talking.
"Sangyu said that if you have made up your mind, she can recommend it to you, but whether you can take the position depends on you." Wen Qingchuan paused and looked at Shen Sangyu, and the other party nodded at him.
Wen Qingchuan knew he was right, and continued: "Sangyu also said that if you want to make more money, you have to work hard on your own. Others can provide opportunities, but whether you can stay depends on yourself."
Shen Sangyu was a little surprised that Wen Qingchuan actually understood everything, and her eyes were full of encouragement: "Qingchuan, the translation is good."
Zhuang's mother didn't urge her daughter to return to her words at this time. She was looking at Wen Qingchuan in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Qingchuan, you can speak it too?!!" In
this era, being able to speak a foreign language and having a high school degree can make people live a life of luxury.
But Wen Qingchuan is different. Everyone who knows him knows that Wen Qingchuan only graduated from elementary school and can recognize words, but now he can even understand English.
Wen Qingchuan seemed to be unable to sense the other party's hot gaze: "I can't speak very well. I can roughly understand some of it when the speed is slow. My English was taught by Sangyu. As for the real conversation environment, the speed should be faster."
Shen Sangyu actually gave Zhuang Xiuhong a chance. She knew that Zhuang Xiuhong's English was not very good. If she could barely translate, it would be okay for her to give her a chance, but now Zhuang Xiuhong's appearance clearly showed that she didn't understand at all.
Shen Sangyu was not sure what to say, but Wen Qingchuan was not afraid: "Sister-in-law, Sangyu may not be able to introduce you to a translation agency, but you can look for one yourself next year."
Zhuang Xiuhong looked surprised, but she couldn't get angry.
In this regard, she was calmer than the Wen family, and she was not confident about this matter, so she couldn't show off to others.
It was Zhuang's mother who realized it later: "So Xiuhong can't work at the translation agency? My daughter is very capable. Not to mention translating books, she can even be a translator..."
"Mom!" Zhuang Xiuhong immediately interrupted Zhuang's mother and her face turned red.
Zhuang Xiuhong lowered her voice and said: "Sister-in-law is right, I can't do this job for the time being."
After that, Zhuang Xiuhong said to Shen Sangyu: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will make up for it in the remaining few months, and I hope you will give me another chance."
Shen Sangyu couldn't refuse again, so she nodded.
But she knew that Zhuang Xiuhong had no chance to work at the translation agency.
Translation requires too much knowledge.
Although Mao Jie's translation agency has only a few people, and they are married women, her colleagues are actually from well-known families, and their families are at least scholarly.
Even if Zhuang Xiuhong is very outstanding in the city, there are always people who are better than her. If she goes to Sijiucheng, where talents gather, she will be directly drowned in the crowd and can't be rescued.
Shen Sangyu actually thinks that Zhuang Xiuhong should not go to Sijiucheng to develop, but if she says this, people will definitely be unhappy, so Shen Sangyu didn't say it.
The meal was not in the mood.
Zhuang's father wanted to keep Wen Qingchuan to talk, but Wen Qingchuan was a taciturn person in front of outsiders, so he refused directly.
It takes them three hours to walk home, and it takes an hour even if they ride a bicycle.
When leaving the hotel, Zhuang Xiuhong's eyes darkened again when she saw the bicycle that Wen Qingchuan had borrowed.
At the end of last year, she asked Wen Chao to find a way to buy a bicycle. After all, Wen Chao and she often had to go back, and she really couldn't afford the three-hour journey back and forth. Li Shuhua had originally promised to buy one, and even went to the city of Beijing, but in the end she only bought a bunch of clothes.
Those clothes were nice, and Li Shuhua gave her a lot. She thought she could not care less, but when she saw Shen Sangyu sitting in the back seat of Wen Qingchuan, she suddenly became jealous again. After
Shen Sangyu left, Zhuang Xiuhong looked very bad, and Wen Chao soon felt it.
He liked Zhuang Xiuhong very much, and he wanted to bring the best things in the world to Zhuang Xiuhong.
Seeing that Zhuang Xiuhong was unhappy, Wen Chao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"What else can I do?" Zhuang Xiuhong was very unhappy: "Your family promised to buy me a bicycle before, where is the bicycle?"
Wen Chao said with a bitter face, "Xiuhong, you also know the situation of my family. We have bought all the big things, but the bicycle tickets are too short. My mother used her connections to find them for a long time but couldn't find them. Can I give them to you later?"
Zhuang Xiuhong sneered in her heart.
She can only make demands now. Can she still be so arrogant after marriage?
"I don't care. I told you before that I want a bicycle. Do you know that my legs are broken every time I go to your house? And I'm so jealous of my sister-in-law because she has a bicycle. Wen Qingchuan can get a bicycle, so why can't you?"
Wen Chao: "My brother borrowed the bicycle from the village chief, and it has to be returned in due time."
Zhuang Xiuhong: "Anyway, I want it. I must buy a bicycle before getting married. I won't get married without a bicycle!"
Wen Chao was shocked on the spot, and then he tried to say good things to Zhuang Xiuhong.
But the way Shen Sangyu rode the bicycle just now really stimulated her, and she said she wanted a bicycle no matter what.
Wen Chao was satisfied with Zhuang Xiuhong, so he naturally complained about his brother and sister-in-law.
He didn't know why Wen Qingchuan insisted on riding a bicycle.
After thinking about it, he still felt that Zhuang Xiuhong was wronged, so he said: "Xiuhong, don't worry, I will definitely support you in my heart. Before we get married, I will definitely ask my mother to buy you a bicycle!"
