"Ugh, can't you let this old lady rest for a bit!"
Having her little scheme exposed by her daughter, Li Tiehua couldn't continue to slack off and had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and join in cleaning up the pots and pans.
After Lin Xue finished cleaning up the dishes, she found a rag and wiped the table, then found a broom and started sweeping the floor.
Her mother and second brother took care of washing the pots and pans, and Lin Xue only needed to do some simple tasks.
Old Man Lin drank quite a bit tonight, and Lin Lao Er has already taken him to his room to sleep.
Although Old Man Lin couldn't hold his liquor, his behavior when drunk was quite good. After drinking, he didn't make a fuss and would quietly go to sleep; he didn't have a habit of getting out of control when drunk.
After Li Tiehua and the two children cleaned up the house, Lin Laoda slowly returned.
Look at how wide his mouth is stretched to the back of his ears, he's obviously very happy!
"How's it going, big brother? Is your little sister any good?"
Seeing Boss Lin return, Lin Xue teasedly approached him.
"Awesome! My sister is amazing! I never thought you could win over the Zheng family with just one meal. Otherwise, I probably would have to wait until the second half of next year to get married!"
Although both families knew that the two children were dating, it was only a verbal agreement and no actual action had been taken.
Now, thanks to Lin Xue's meal, the two families have become much closer.
Next, we just need to find a date for the two families to finalize the engagement, and then get married the following year. Wouldn't that make everything go smoothly?
The siblings chatted for a while longer, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
the next day!
After finishing her meal, Lin Xue went out on her own. This time, she didn't take Li Tiehua with her. She planned to find an excuse to leave some food at home and return the day after tomorrow.
As Lin Xue was casually strolling down the street, she saw a man with a worried expression talking to another arrogant foreigner.
The man with the worried expression seemed to be a minor leader, which could be seen from his clothing.
However, the foreigner's attitude was rather unpleasant. Lin Xue raised an eyebrow and moved closer without making a sound.
“David, when we bought these production lines, we agreed that the technology would be transferred to us! But now that the machines are in place, why haven’t your technicians arrived yet?”
The speaker was Wan Jingye, the factory manager of a food processing plant. They had recently purchased a batch of production lines from a trade fair in Shanghai. It was agreed that a specialist would come to provide technical guidance, but after the production lines were purchased, the technicians from the other party were slow to arrive.
Wan Jingye's hair turned half white from worrying about this matter.
David, who was in charge of this matter, kept making excuses and didn't take Wan Jingye's situation seriously.
Moreover, when he got excited, David would start speaking in foreign languages, making it impossible for Director Wan to understand him.
At that moment, Director Wan was filled with regret!
Why did he impulsively buy the other party's production line? Now, although the machines are in place, nobody knows how to use them.
At this moment, the factory manager wished he could go back to how he was a few months ago and strangle himself.
"Our people are on their way, so Director Wan, please stop urging us. Is it our fault for being slow? It's because your country is too backward and your transportation is inadequate..."
David mumbled a few words, one in Chinese and one in English, then impatiently pushed Wan Jingye aside and left.
"well!"
After David left, Wan Jingye slumped to the ground, clutching his head in frustration.
It's fine if the other party's technical personnel arrive a few days later.
If the other party has no intention of sending technical personnel at all, then wouldn't the money the factory has raised be wasted?
How could he explain this to the people in the factory, and how could he explain it to his superiors?
Wan Jingye felt utterly despondent at this moment.
"Director Wan, do you need help?"
Just as Wan Jingye was holding his head and tears were streaming down his face...
Suddenly, a pair of small leather shoes appeared in front of him.
Then he heard a gentle female voice. Wan Jingye rubbed his eyes on his arm a couple of times before raising his head.
"Young lady, you can't help me with this!"
Upon seeing that the person standing in front of him was just a young woman in her early twenties, Wan Jingye's fervent heart sank once again.
How do you know I can't help you if you don't tell me?
Lin Xue blinked, looking rather playful.
"Well, I might as well tell you! At the Shanghai trade fair a while ago, we saw a production line for making instant noodles that we liked. We thought the price was right, so we bought it!"
"But who knew that after we bought the machine, the other party's technicians were slow to arrive. Although they provided an instruction manual, it was entirely in English and contained many technical terms. Even if it were translated, we still wouldn't understand it!"
"Little girl, you don't know, these foreigners are really scoundrels, he's trying to screw me over!"
As Wan Jingye spoke, he vigorously rubbed his face with his hands, the calluses on his hands rubbing against the skin of his face. Only in this way could he feel that he was still alive.
Sometimes, Director Wan wonders, why am I still alive?
If I were dead, I wouldn't have to suffer like this!
He has let down the factory, and he has failed the trust placed in him by the Party and the people.
Even if he dies, he cannot undo the mistakes he made.
"Director Wan, I have published articles in several provincial newspapers and am quite proficient in foreign languages. I also have some knowledge of machinery. If you need it, I can help you take a look!"
Lin Xue spoke very sincerely, and Wan Jingye was truly desperate. In the end, under Lin Xue's persuasion, he took her directly back to the factory.
Looking at the assembly line set up in a factory building, and then at the instruction manual handed over by Wan Jingye.
"Director Wan, let me take a look at the original instruction manual!"
Lin Xue returned the poorly translated instruction manual and asked for the original one to read.
"Find me a quiet place, I'm going to translate it again!"
Lin Xue glanced at the instruction manual filled with foreign languages, then looked at Director Wan.
"Okay, let's go straight to my office!"
Wan Jingye saw that Lin Xue only glanced at the translated instruction manual before returning it, and then, after seeing the original instruction manual, she wanted to translate it herself.
It seems this young girl has some skills.
Lin Xue was taken directly to Wan Jingye's office, where she took out a blank notebook without lines from her handbag, which was actually a storage space.
He took out the instruction manual and began translating it in his notebook.
I drew all the illustrations from the instruction manual in my notebook, and then translated the foreign text into Chinese and marked it on the paper according to the instructions.
She had also looked at the translation that the factory had hired someone to do before. Although each word was translated correctly, the whole thing didn't make sense when put together.
Moreover, the same word can have different meanings in different contexts, so the translation was simply unreadable!
