However, to her surprise, this Dean Li was completely different from the several traditional Chinese medicine doctors she had specifically contacted before.
His words are concise and to the point, without the archaic language found in traditional Chinese medicine books, making them very easy to translate.
She also witnessed the man's foreign language proficiency. Because their conversation was full of medical terminology, Li Yunli had to think carefully a lot when translating what the foreigner said.
Dean Li answered the foreigners' questions almost without hesitation, sometimes even before she understood what they meant.
Aside from the company that needed her to translate for the entire time, she was more like a meeting recorder at other times.
For the first time in so many years, she had deep doubts about her professional skills.
I'm afraid that the genius I've been praised for since childhood is a lie.
Li Chu was also quite helpless at this moment. His translation was not good, and the translations from the other companies were the same. Many words were translated incorrectly.
This made it very difficult for him to communicate with these responsible persons.
While he was drinking water, he whispered in Li Yunli's ear, "Those translators aren't good enough. They didn't translate many of my words accurately. You should do it later."
"Oh? Dean Li, I can't do it either. There are too many technical terms, many of which I've never encountered before. Besides, I'm translating several languages at the same time, and I can't handle it all."
"It's okay, I'll explain it to them later. We'll do it one company at a time. If the translation isn't accurate, it will bring a lot of uncertainty to the future cooperation, and it might even cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
As we communicate with each company individually, I will write down every word I say in its corresponding language; you can take a look.
"Thank you, thank you Dean Li."
Li Yunli's gratitude was palpable; she hadn't expected that Dean Li would take the initiative to teach her.
For someone as academically gifted as her, learning more knowledge is always a good thing.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to borrow books on traditional Chinese medicine when she first learned that she would be Li Chulai's translator, nor would she have taken the initiative to communicate with some traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
Next, Li Chu spoke with these companies, explaining that due to the translation requirements, he needed to communicate with each one individually.
These companies were more than happy to have this opportunity; they actually felt it was inconvenient to come together, and there were many issues they couldn't discuss.
As for who comes first and who comes last, it doesn't matter, anyway, it will be no later than a day or two.
Communicating separately like this makes things much simpler.
Li Yunli finally witnessed what it really meant to multitask.
For example, when communicating with this West German pharmaceutical company, this Dean Li spoke in Chinese but wrote in German in his notebook, and basically when he stopped speaking, his hand also stopped.
Most importantly, what they wrote was neat and tidy, not the kind of shorthand that only the person writing it could understand.
She was dumbfounded by this operation, and at the same time, she felt very ashamed of her previous smugness about her high level of professionalism.
Little did they know that Li Chu truly admired her.
He knew perfectly well how he acquired his foreign language skills, but Li Yunli, on the other hand, genuinely earned them through her own efforts.
That's why he was willing to teach this translator.
By 5 p.m., the communication with the West German company was finally completed. At this rate, it will take another two days to finish everything.
As soon as he left the meeting room, Zeng Qiang and Sun Changle came to greet him.
"Dean Li, during your meeting just now, Director Sun and I both reported to our superiors about the matter you mentioned about having other hospitals send people to learn from us," Zeng Qiang said after giving a salute.
"Hmm, what did they say?"
"Our General Logistics Department and the Foreign Affairs Department have both agreed and have contacted the health departments. The health department just called and promised to contact the provinces immediately."
"Each province should have at least one hospital or medical school send two people to report for duty. The list of personnel will be submitted once the list is finalized."
After listening to Zeng Qiang's words, Li Chu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's not about one hospital in each province, it's best if one hospital in each prefecture-level city sends someone over."
"Oh? Dean Li, if you calculate it that way, there must be quite a few people who have come."
"It's not like they're in the same batch, just separate them. This isn't going to end in a day or two."
Each batch of trainees is limited to three or six months of training, treated as continuing education. After the allotted time, the health department conducts an assessment; those who pass receive a certificate of completion, and then the next batch of trainees is sent.
Such a great learning opportunity, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it in batches for these foreigners.
Zeng Qiang and Sun Changle listened with wide eyes; it seemed this Dean Li was treating this place as a training base.
It not only cultivates talent, but also doesn't cost the country a single penny.
Li Chu glanced at his watch and said, "Alright, you two go and talk to the health department. It'll be time to leave work soon. I'll come back tomorrow." With that, he walked towards the main gate.
Li Yunli and her assistant Zhao Zhijun didn't need to go with them this time. There was an office here where they needed to organize the conversations from the afternoon meeting, which would then be submitted for review.
"Yunli, did Dean Li teach you later?" Zhao Zhijun, who was writing something in the office, looked up and asked Li Yunli, who was sitting opposite him.
How did you know?
"I noticed that when you translated later, it was much faster and more fluent than before."
Li Yunli pursed her lips and handed over the notebook in her hand: "Take a look."
When Zhao Zhijun took it, he found that it was written in a foreign language, and he didn't recognize any of the words. However, it gave him a strange sense of comfort.
"What is this? Is it a transcript of your conversation?"
“I didn’t compile these; Dean Li wrote them all.” Li Yunli shook her head. “Didn’t you say that my later translation was much more fluent than the initial one? I just read it from there, so of course it would be fluent.”
Zhao Zhijun stared at her, somewhat incredulously, and asked, "You mean Dean Li was speaking Chinese while simultaneously writing this... in German?"
"That's right, isn't our leader amazing?"
"This is more than impressive!" Zhao Zhijun looked at the notebook in his hand and clicked his tongue in admiration. "This is absolutely amazing! You're so much better off than me. You can learn so much from the boss! And look at the boss's handwriting, it's practically printed!"
