"He was the only son in his family, and his family was very prominent. According to the custom of addressing the high-ranking people in the Kyoto area, the dignitaries there would respectfully call him Master Yun. Over time, everyone started to call him that."
Upon hearing this, Song Mai nodded knowingly, silently repeating those words in her mind.
Chu Yunxing...
What a coincidence, it differs from Chu Xing by only one character.
She felt a sense of familiarity when Manager Qiao mentioned the title "Master Yun," as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
Song Mai also asked her about the situation in some departments. The two ate for quite a while before going home.
In the afternoon, Song Mai spent the entire afternoon reading materials, barely finishing them before leaving get off work.
She stretched and looked around at her colleagues. Some had already left with their bags, while others were still busy with their work.
Song Mai had no work assignments, so there was no need for her to stay and work overtime.
Before leaving get off work, she made a point of greeting Su He. The girl still had some work to finish and seemed to have encountered some difficulties. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked like she was having a very hard time.
When she saw Song Mai, she had a long face.
"Sister Mai, you go first. I can't leave work on time. I don't know how late I'll have to work today."
"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
Su He nodded frantically: "I received a document an hour before I left work. There are so many technical terms in it that I don't know how to translate. Sister Lan said I have to translate this document and give it to her tonight. I'm so frustrated I could go bald, but I still can't translate it. I'm deleting as I translate, and after an hour I've only made a little progress. If this continues, I might not be able to finish it even if I spend the whole night here."
Su He is currently only an assistant translator in the translation department and is not qualified to independently manage projects. She is currently working as an assistant to Tang Lanlan, a senior Spanish translator.
Tang Lanlan is currently working on a joint project with the group and a Western semiconductor company.
Tang Lanlan is known as the cold-faced queen of the department. She is highly professional, efficient and meticulous. In the ten years she has been with the company, she has never made a mistake in the projects she has been in charge of. Similarly, her style of doing things is also very decisive and efficient.
She never liked hearing her subordinates give various reasons and excuses. What she wanted was a perfect result, a result that could overcome all difficulties and get what she wanted done well under any circumstances. As for anything else, if any problems caused what she wanted to be not completed or not done well, that was entirely the responsibility and problem of the person in charge.
Su He could learn a lot from her, but she was a recent graduate with little work experience and was not proficient in handling matters and her work. So, naturally, she was repeatedly found fault with her, which made Su He very afraid of her, afraid that she might do something wrong and upset her.
However, the project materials contained far too many technical terms, leaving her feeling helpless and unable to do anything about it, even though she was determined to do a good job.
Song Mai thought for a moment and said, "Can I take a look?"
Su He didn't expect her to be of any help, but showing it to her wouldn't take much time anyway, and since she couldn't translate it anyway, a little extra time wouldn't make a difference, so she handed the documents to her without thinking.
While saying this, he said, "I'm definitely doomed this time. Sister Lan just scolded me a couple of days ago because I mistranslated a sentence, and she hasn't really wanted to talk to me these past two days. If I can't translate this document well, I'm really afraid she won't want to mentor me anymore."
Song Mai quickly glanced through the document. It did indeed contain a lot of technical terms, not only vocabulary but also a large amount of research data and literature reviews related to Western semiconductors, making it quite difficult to translate.
However, it's not entirely impossible if you spend some time doing it.
She placed the documents on Su He's desk and winked with a smile.
Do you believe me?
Su He's eyes lit up, but the next second there was a struggle in her eyes.
Through their conversation at noon, she learned that Song Mai had worked at a professional translation company for five years and had even reached the position of deputy manager. However, Song Mai had only been there for one day and didn't know much about Yunxing. Moreover, this document was so professional and Tang Lanlan had requested it. Could Song Mai really handle it?
But looking at Song Mai's sincere expression, she changed her mind again. Well, since she couldn't find it anyway, she might as well let Song Mai try. Maybe she could do it?
She slammed her hand on the document, her eyes resolute: "I believe you."
Song Mai smiled and ruffled her hair before taking the documents and returning to her workstation.
She translated all the documents in just over half an hour.
She threw the documents back to Su He.
"I've sent you the translated document. Can you check if there are any problems?"
Su He casually clicked on it and glanced at it a few times, becoming more and more astonished as she read.
"Sister Mai, did you really translate this in just half an hour?"
Song Mai was amused by her appearance: "Weren't you watching from the side the whole time? Did you expect me to find outside help?"
Su He quickly explained, "No, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I can't believe you translated it so well in just half an hour. You don't know anything about this project! You've only glanced at this document a few times. You're amazing!"
Song Mai blushed at her praise and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"This is probably the work experience accumulated over many years of working. With your own translation mindset and habits, you can translate much faster. Over time, you will definitely do better than me."
Just as Su He was about to speak, her phone rang. When she saw it was Tang Lanlan calling, she immediately shut her mouth, her heart nearly leaping out of her throat.
Taking a few deep breaths and mentally preparing himself, he finally answered: "Sister Lan."
"Isn't the information I gave you ready yet?"
Su He glanced at the documents on the desktop: "Okay, all done."
"Alright, why aren't you bringing it over yet? What are you dawdling about?"
"Yes, I'll send it over right away."
After hanging up the phone, Su He felt completely drained.
She pressed the print button, picked up the printed document, and stood up.
"Sister Mai, I have to deliver some documents. You don't need to wait for me. Go ahead and wish me luck."
"good."
As she spoke, Song Mai made a gesture of encouragement for her, while Su He, with the spirit of a warrior going into battle, strode towards Tang Lanlan's office in one go.
Song Mai glanced at her phone and saw the message Chu Xing had sent her, telling her that he had a meeting and wouldn't be home for dinner that night, and asking her how her first day at the company went.
Song Mai quickly typed a few words and sent them out.
"Fortunately, I looked at a lot of materials on the first day, but I haven't been assigned any work yet."
