Miao Jin thought for a moment, then sat on Jiang Xingyun's legs and stopped struggling.
She lowered her eyelashes slightly and said, "I have a translator in New York in a few days. Can you take me there?"
Her eyelashes fluttered, as if it was too rash to ask Jiang Xingyun to send her off.
"OK."
Miao Jin nodded.
This translation meeting had already been arranged with Miao Jin in advance, and she agreed. The meeting was short, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
"I'm afraid you will have to go to work by then, after all, it's a working day." Miao Jin said again.
"Nothing is more important than my wife's love." Jiang Xingyun said again.
Miao Jin smiled at Jiang Xingyun.
The next day, the general content of the translation was sent to Miao Jin. Simultaneous interpretation usually does not have an original manuscript, so the interpreter only showed Miao Jin the relevant content so that she would know what the translation was about and have a rough idea of it.
When Miao Jin read it, she felt her internal organs churning, as if a needle was pricking her. She lay in bed, tossing and turning, tears all over the bed. She didn't want to see anything, as life always played tricks on her unexpectedly - "The United States Military Service Rules", which was translated by a government agency.
She was very familiar with the U.S. military service system without even reading it, so familiar that she could recite every word. Non-Americans could get a green card after serving in the military. Anyone between the ages of seventeen and thirty-five could participate. The military service lasted two to six years. If one chose two years, they would also have to serve six years in the reserves.
She has always had a good memory, and that's a good thing.
She couldn't forget these rules and regulations even if she wanted to.
She sat there, calming herself down.
Fortunately, Jiang Xingyun went to work at noon, so he didn't see her looking so miserable.
She wanted to refuse this translator, but she had already agreed to the job and they had already put her name on the list. They were probably already preparing the simultaneous interpretation booth, so she couldn't refuse. Besides, the person she was working with this time was Chen Lu.
There are only a few simultaneous interpreters around, so it's normal that everyone knows each other. Chen Lu and Miao Jin are of the same age and are friends. They go to many conferences abroad together.
Chen Lu called and asked Miao Jin if he was ready, and told him several key points in this translation.
Miao Jin sat at the desk, his hand on his head, looking tired and heartbroken. "Yeah, I know."
"Miaomiao, you're a newlywed and you're not short of money, so why are you working so hard?" Chen Lu asked.
"I can't just sit there and do nothing. Besides, now that someone has found me, I can't refuse. If I keep refusing, no one will come to me in the future," said Miao Jin.
Chen Lu tutted a few times, "As expected of Miao Jin, you still set such high standards for yourself. You were a top student back then, weren't you?"
When she heard the word "academic bully", Miao Jin's heart trembled again. She hated being called a "academic bully" and she didn't like to hear it.
"No, I was a middle-class student back then." After saying that, Miao Jin hung up the phone.
The next day, Jiang Xingyun drove Miao Jin's car to the translation location. Miao Jin sat in the passenger seat this time. The location was a national-level place.
Miao Jin's car was a red Mercedes, shining with noble color. As soon as Jiang Xingyun got in the car, he turned on the stereo, and Adele's songs came out of it.
"Didn't Elvis listen?" Jiang Xingyun asked Miao Jin.
"Oh," Miao Jin just remembered this incident, "I haven't had time yet. But thank you anyway—"
Miao Jin's eyes flashed, "Thank you, husband."
Jiang Xingyun glanced at her sideways and said with a smile, "Have you learned to call me husband?"
Miao Jin nodded. "I used to feel awkward and couldn't let go."
"Adele is more suitable for you." Jiang Xingyun said again.
Miao Jin waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Don't waste money buying me more expensive vinyl records. They're too expensive."
Jiang Xingyun looked towards the front of the car and said, "Do you know how many women want their husbands to buy them something? They can't refuse it. But because you always refuse, your husbands don't know you have such a request, and over time, they stop buying it. On the contrary, if you always ask for it, your husband will always remember this task every time he goes out and buy it for you. Why is it so easy for a wife who has shared the good and bad times with her husband to be abandoned?"
"Maybe it's because men are cheap." Miao Jin looked out the window. "I really don't need vinyl records, thank you."
Jiang Xingyun didn't say anything.
When they were almost at their destination, Jiang Xingyun said, "It's not far from home. I'll pick you up after you finish translating. Is it finished at 2 o'clock?"
"yes."
Jiang Xingyun left only after seeing Miao Jin enter the venue in a black suit and carrying a briefcase.
After arriving home, Jiang Xingyun searched the drawer under the coffee table and found the Elvis Presley record he bought for her. It was still unopened. She seemed to have forgotten it, but also seemed to have deliberately hidden it in this place.
So, if she doesn't like to listen, who does?
…
venue.
Many people die young in the profession of simultaneous interpretation because it is too brain-intensive. However, Miao Jin feels like a fish in water in this profession and does not find it that tiring. Perhaps it is because Qiu Dongyue is a simultaneous interpreter and Miao Jin is also a trilingual interpreter, which is more brain-intensive than ordinary simultaneous interpreters. But Miao Jin does not think it is a big deal. Perhaps he is born to be this person.
Even though Miao Jin didn't want to translate the military service regulations, she still translated it.
Although every time she translated a sentence, her heart was ripped out from her chest, and she could not bear the huge pain, but in the end, it all passed.
At around 2:00 p.m., Miao Jin and Chen Lu walked out of the venue.
"How does it feel to be married?" Chen Lu is a head shorter than Miao Jin, at 1.65 meters tall.
"Very good."
"You and Jiang Xingyun are truly a match made in heaven. Your families are well-matched, both talented and beautiful, a perfect match. So, how's he in bed? Oh, and people like Jiang Xingyun are prone to cheating." Chen Lu was such a frivolous person. "You were away on a business trip for over half a month. Did he eat you in bed?"
At this time, Jiang Xingyun's car had already arrived and was parked across the road. He was sitting in the driver's seat and looking out.
Miao Jin looked at him while talking to Chen Lu, "At his age, how could he not eat people?"
Chen Lu chuckled, "Don't let him hear what we're saying. But your Jiang Xingyun seems unsatisfied, and you're often on business trips."
"You know so much." Miao Jin said, treating Chen Lu's words as nonsense.
After the two of them shook hands, Chen Lu winked at Jiang Xingyun with a wicked smile.
"What did you say about me?" Jiang Xingyun started the car and asked Miao Jin.
