Chapter 466 National Translator
"It's not a matter of faith."
A letter of recommendation was enough to make Director Ma extremely anxious, and Lu Miao was so embarrassed that he almost dug his toes on the ground.
"So what does that mean now? Although the old gentleman had good intentions in writing the recommendation letter, we can't be blamed for not going, right?"
Even if you write a letter of recommendation, you still have a choice, right?
"Oh, it's not what you think, you don't understand!"
Lu Miao puffed out his lips and lay on the table like a lazy snake, drinking water. He was thinking about the whole thing and had no patience to explain.
Tang Mei was anxiously watching.
Fu Jingyou is a tall and strong man. He doesn't look like a patient person, but he is the most considerate person in the family.
"I'm not blaming you, but wasn't the letter torn up earlier?"
Handing Tang Mei an apple, Fu Jingyou patiently comforted her:
"I guess Miaomiao didn't follow what she told the director to do and bring the letter. This time she came to ask about the situation."
Lu Miao nodded: "That letter is a letter of introduction, for the person who takes over to read. I don't know what it says. It's not easy to find the teacher without the letter..."
"Yesterday, when I went to the publishing house, I met Director Ma. He took it so seriously that I thought the place recommended in the letter was the publishing house. Who knew it was the British Publishing House?"
Tang Mei looked at Lu Miao, then turned to look at Fu Jingyou.
The female tyrant in the family was spoiled by her son-in-law and was prone to getting angry. Tang Mei simply stayed away from the female tyrant and went to her son-in-law when she didn't understand. Fu Jingyou shook his head helplessly and amusedly, and asked Tang Mei and his own curiosity at the same time:
"What does the British Society do?"
Fu Jingyou had seen the publishing house and Sitong News Agency before, and they didn't look like places where ordinary people worked.
Could this Guoying Society be even more extraordinary?
"The British News Agency is the national news agency. It is benchmarked against national news dissemination and has international connections. It is an important bridge for information exchange between our country and the world."
The areas covered are also very broad, such as content supply business, newspaper business, television business, economic information business, etc.
In the future, when we enter the Internet era, there will be Internet and new media businesses, etc.
The business involved is extensive, and the translators required are even more extensive, not limited to English.
Perhaps it was too official. Fu Jingyou sat at the table, touched the back of his head, and poured water into the enamel pot to cover up the embarrassment of not understanding.
Lu Miao found it funny and poked him and said:
"Renmin University has a broadcasting and information hall, right? The TVs there often broadcast content from past national leaders' meetings. Sometimes when the leaders are facing foreign representatives, they're accompanied by someone responsible for language communication."
Fu Jingyou showed a slightly surprised look.
Lu Miao knew that he understood, and said with a smile:
"That's the national translator, and at this stage they're also drawn from the British English Press."
Fu Jingyou raised his deep brows and became visibly excited.
However, he remained rational and did not get carried away by joy and excitement:
"That Director Ma came here to ask you to go to the British English Press? Isn't he the director of the Translation Bureau? Is he that capable?"
Tang Mei also realized something.
Can a department that has access to national leaders be a place where ordinary people work?
It’s incredible! Their little treasure is even more capable than Old Lu!
Fu Jingyou felt dizzy and didn't even drink the water. He wrapped his big hands with long knuckles around Lu Miao's hands.
The emotion is so overwhelming that it is hard to describe in words.
"Can you please stop being so excited..."
Lu Miao sighed helplessly.
"I was just giving you an example. Only high-level staff can meet the big boss. Even when I joined the Guoying Society, I started from the bottom."
Fu Jingyou nodded quickly, "Okay, not excited, not excited, I'm not excited at all."
“…”
Lu Miao looked at his wide-open mouth, sighed, and was speechless for a moment.
Most people of this generation have a heart full of red power.
Take Lu Miao for example. She wanted to join the British Society more out of practical considerations.
But Fu Jingyou and Tang Mei are different.
In their hearts, serving the country and the people is glorious.
National leaders are busy with all kinds of affairs.
Even if they cannot meet the top leaders by joining the Guoying Society, in their hearts, they are standing on a higher and bigger platform, providing services and assistance to the country and the leaders at close range.
That is a top-level existence.
It is decent, glorious, and the ultimate honor.
Fu Jingyou could not hide his excitement. Being selected was enough to show how outstanding his wife was.
But then again, he calmed down and asked Lu Miao seriously:
"Miaomiao, do you want to go?"
Tang Mei spoke first: "Yes, of course, it's such a great thing!"
If it happened to someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Tang Mei grinned, imagining the scene in the future when others would congratulate the Lu family and praise their little treasure's ability.
Lu Miao smiled and turned his head to look at Tang Mei.
Fu Jingyou put his hands on her face and turned her face back:
"Don't worry about my aunt. Let's put things in perspective. If you want to go, then we'll go. If not, then find something else you like to do."
Tang Mei took a deep breath and stepped forward to pat Fu Jingyou on the shoulder:
"How can you say that? It's such a good thing, how can you not go? Don't try to coax her with nonsense, or she will really refuse to go later."
Fu Jingyou frowned and made a "tsk" sound, becoming visibly unhappy.
"Aunt, don't worry about this. She's not a child. Let her choose for herself."
Tang Mei wanted to say something, but Fu Jingyou was afraid that she would disturb Lu Miao, so he directly pulled Lu Miao into the room.
Don't forget to bolt the door.
Lu Miao sat on the kang and was really moved by his resolute attitude that respected her wishes.
Without waiting for the man to ask, Lu Miao leaned over softly, hugged his waist, and rubbed against his arms.
"I do want to go."
Lu Miao let out a light breath, enjoying a brief moment of peace, then stood up from his arms and mentioned the matter of the publishing house director contract.
"Summer vacation is just half a month away. I've calculated that if I work hard during the holiday, I should be able to finish it in about two months."
"But this period of time is quite long, so it's hard to say how this matter will turn out in the end."
Fu Jingyou reached for a palm-leaf fan and gently fanned her. His voice deepened and slowed down, lingering in the summer afternoon, extremely gentle:
"What did Director Ma say?"
"Director Ma said he could handle everything else with just a word from me, but this matter has already been signed and stamped with my fingerprints, so I don't think I can rely on him completely."
Director Ma can at most play a role as an intermediary and those who must follow the rules must follow the procedures.
"Um……"
Fu Jingyou responded softly, thought for a moment, and continued to fan her gently, soothing her:
"Don't worry about this for now, just live our lives normally."
There is no point in being anxious. It will disrupt your daily routine and make you more anxious.
"The rest will be seen one step at a time."
"Um."
Lu Miao nodded slightly.
This is all we can do for now.
