"You still don't understand?" Zhang Lansong slumped her shoulders.
Wang Yue shook her head.
Yes, you said it, five yuan for translating a drawing.
Good grief, after distributing the blueprints, I only have three left.
Where can I find a lot of money?
Zhang Lan poked Wang Yue's head: "You! Our translation fee is less than three thousand yuan!"
Wang Yue nodded.
Zhang Lan continued, "The research institute gave us ten thousand yuan!"
Wang Yue suddenly realized: "Oh! So we earned another seven thousand yuan!"
"That's right!" Zhang Lan said, "Why did it take you so long to realize?"
Wang Yue said, "Isn't this a bad idea? If we earn so much, wouldn't it be suspected of exploiting our classmates?"
Zhang Lan snorted: "This is called a market economy, okay? You have to keep up with the times."
Wang Yue: ...
Zhang Lan continued, "Here's all seven thousand yuan. That should be enough for your father's medical treatment, right?"
"No, no, no," Wang Yue denied repeatedly, "Your money is in there too."
Zhang Lan laughed and said, "Forget it, I said I wanted to pump water, but I won't."
"No." Wang Yue said seriously.
Zhang Lan shrugged: "Consider it a loan from me."
How much is that?
"One thousand yuan."
Wang Yue smiled and squinted her eyes: "Thank you!"
"Don't mention it. We're roommates, who else would I help if not you?"
...
The next day.
evening.
Study room.
Wang Yue's classmates surrounded her:
"This is mine. The translation is finished. Please check it."
"And mine too, count the blueprints so there aren't any missing."
"Well, some of the terms were even looked up and explained."
Wang Yue was very surprised.
In just one day, all the students completed the translation.
That's so fast!
Wang Yue now understands how terrifying human potential and explosive power can be in a market economy!
No wonder there's reform happening all over society now.
In the past, it would have taken at least ten days to half a month to complete this task.
Wang Yue quickly retrieved the drawings, proofreading them while thanking her classmates for their help.
The other students laughed and said, "Don't just thank us."
"Yes, show some sincerity."
"Although I'm embarrassed to ask, I still have to say, when are you going to pay me?"
Wang Yue blushed slightly: "Well, I didn't expect to finish the translation this way either. Can I pay you tomorrow?"
"OK."
"That's efficiency! I thought it would take several days for the payment to come through."
"By the way, Wang Yue, where did you find this job?"
This statement piqued the curiosity of the students.
Putting everything else aside, if you had this kind of work every day, you wouldn't even have enough to cover your living expenses, let alone your school fees.
Although everyone's main task right now is to read.
But none of our families are very wealthy, so earning a little money can significantly reduce the burden on our families, and we can even give back to them.
It's a matter of pride to go home for the Chinese New Year, isn't it?
It also saves me from getting angry when I see my high school classmates starting to make money.
Wang Yue said with a smile, "It's at the Jiangcheng Industrial Research Institute."
Wang Yue said she didn't care about this.
This kind of task is not the mainstream of research institutes; they mainly focus on industrial research.
We especially welcome talent from the industrial sector.
As for translating blueprints, that kind of thing happens only once a year.
The other students responded with an "oh":
"I've heard of this place before."
"One of my roommates said that they offer free milk tea there."
"Milk tea? You mean that stuff that costs one or two yuan a cup outside?"
"Yes, it smells wonderful."
"Anyone can drink for free?"
"I've heard it's true, but who knows if it's true or not? I've never been there."
"Hehe, let's grab a bite tomorrow."
"Useless."
Wang Yue ignored the chattering of her classmates.
Focus on organizing the drawings.
We worked until late into the night, and all the blueprints were returned intact.
The translation is complete, and there are no major flaws.
She also corrected grammatical errors.
Early the next morning.
Wang Yue then took Zhang Lan to the research institute.
Zhang Lan was also surprised: "So fast? That's quite unexpected."
Wang Yue said, "It's probably driven by money."
Zhang Lan shook her head: "You can't say that. That's so vulgar! It's about classmates realizing their self-worth."
Wang Yue was taken aback, then smiled brightly: "You really know how to spout twisted logic."
"This is the most reasonable explanation. Remember it and don't say anything carelessly," Zhang Lan said earnestly.
Wang Yue nodded.
In today's world, if you do anything without lofty ideals and are simply trying to make money for the sake of making money, then you're doomed.
This is still too blatant.
Although the essence is still to make money.
But the image must be beautified.
After all, that trend had only recently subsided, and there were some things that couldn't be said carelessly, especially on campus, where one could easily be accused of having outdated ideas.
We arrived at the research institute.
Zhang Lan placed the blueprints on Huo Jiaqi's table.
He had an arrogant look on his face.
Huo Jiaqi was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on with you, Zhang Lan?
How come you're even more arrogant than me? Who's the client and who's the contractor?
Huo Jiaqi flipped through the blueprints: "So fast? It's finished in just one day? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Zhang Lan said, "We're not that kind of people. I distributed the blueprints, and it was a result of teamwork. What's so surprising about that?"
"Oh." Huo Jiaqi nodded. It's nothing strange about collective labor.
