Chapter 504: Joining the British Society
"You need to start avoiding certain foods in advance, so you don't feel uncomfortable again. Do you understand, huh?"
"I know! You're almost turning into an old lady!"
Fu Jingyou couldn't help but laugh.
He just nags his wife.
He has no patience for others.
…
Time slowly passed and it was Saturday.
I made an appointment with Teacher Tan to meet at the National English Publishing House at 10 o'clock.
Lu Miao from the National English Press had never been there, but he had asked someone for directions in advance.
Afraid that something unexpected might happen, Lu Miao got up early on Saturday morning.
After tidying up and having breakfast at home, Fu Jingyou accompanied me to the bus stop.
"You really don't need me to go with you?"
"No, you're not a child anymore."
The British Society is not an ordinary place.
If Teacher Tan or people from the IHS saw that she was accompanied by family members or friends, their first impression would probably be greatly reduced.
"I'll go over and take a look at the situation first. When I'm on my feet, you can take me to work or pick me up after get off work, and we won't have to worry about this anymore."
"good."
Fu Jingyou nodded and said "hmm".
Just then the bus came towards us.
"Go back and see what Shi An has learned recently and how he's doing. If there's any significant gap, quickly urge him to learn more. Don't let him fall behind and the other kids in the class stop wanting to play with him."
"Um."
Lu Miao leaned over to look at the bus and made a finger on his palm without anyone seeing.
When he looked over, she curved her lips into a coquettish smile, took the bag, waved at him, and trotted into the car.
"Let's go!"
Fu Jingyou waved and watched the bus drive away.
…
Qingta Hutong is not far from Guoyingshe, only a few stops in total, but you have to transfer two buses.
The waiting time for the bus is longer.
Lu Miao left home a little earlier and arrived at the Guoying Press at 9:30 in the morning.
Half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
The four-story building of the National English Society occupies a large area when viewed from the front.
When he got off the car and looked from the side just now, Lu Miao realized that there was a large area behind him that was not visible to him.
Places like this all have reception and waiting areas.
Lu Miao is not that stubborn person.
Without waiting outside, she went straight into the lobby of the British Society.
Guoyingshe is not an ordinary department, and the business it handles is not for ordinary people.
Most people won’t come here.
And once someone comes, it means they have "serious business".
As soon as Lu Miao entered, a young comrade with a flat head came over:
"Comrade, are you looking for someone?"
Lu Miao was very open and frank:
"I'm a student at Beijing University. I've made an appointment with Professor Tan to meet at 10 o'clock. I arrived a little early. Can I wait here?"
At the Kuo Ying She Society, everyone calls Teacher Tan Director Tan.
Although Lu Miao said "Teacher Tan", the young receptionist knew who she was talking about.
The young man with a flat head took Lu Miao to sit in the rest area on one side of the hall.
"Then comrade, please sit here and wait."
"OK, thanks."
Lu Miao nodded in thanks and sat down.
The Kuo Ying She Building is a relic of the previous era. The architecture has a strong Western flavor, and the interior decoration is the same.
However, the fixtures, such as the tables and chairs in the rest and waiting area, are all in Chinese red lacquer and mahogany style.
Lu Miao looked at her calmly. The comrade who had just received her came back quickly and poured her some tea.
"Thanks."
Lu Miao took it with both hands.
It has to be a specialized department.
Where else can you get such treatment?
Once it exists, there is no guarantee that some "capitalist style" will be put on your neck.
The tea was a little hot, so Lu Miao blew on it, drank a few sips, and put the cup down.
She arrived half an hour early, but didn't have to wait long.
At about 9:45, there was a noise at the door.
Lu Miao raised his eyes, paused for a moment, then stood up and walked over:
"Teacher Tan."
Teacher Tan and Li Yue arrived together.
Seeing Lu Miao, Teacher Tan was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile:
"When did you get here? Were you waiting for a long time?"
Lu Miao shook his head and replied with a faint smile:
"I just got here too. The comrade at the door saw me waiting for someone and let me in to wait."
Teacher Tan nodded in understanding, then nodded to Li Yue, who was stunned beside him, and said:
"Go ahead and do your work. I'll call you if there's anything else."
As she spoke, Teacher Tan raised her chin towards Lu Miao, motioning Lu Miao to go upstairs with her.
Lu Miao nodded in understanding and followed behind him.
The two of them walked towards the stairs one after another.
Li Yue was still standing there in a daze.
Li Yue clenched her hands, bit her lower lip tightly, and trembled inexplicably.
After the previous translation incident, Li Yue was very worried that Lu Miao would join the British Publishing House and overshadow her.
But that incident seemed like she had misunderstood.
For a long time afterwards, there was no news about Lu Miao.
Li Yue thought Lu Miao would not come.
She had spent two months at the Guoying Society during the summer vacation and had completely adapted to the situation. She was certain that Lu Miao would definitely not come.
But why?
Why did Lu Miao come anyway? !
Li Yue felt a chill all over her body, and a sense of unease rose in her heart.
However, before she could think about it, the short-haired young man Wang Ming, holding a box, called out to her:
"Li Yue, wash the cups in the lounge area and put them back. I'm going upstairs to deliver the documents."
Li Yue twitched her lips and replied dryly:
"knew."
Li Yue walked towards the rest area stiffly, almost trembling with both hands and feet.
When she heard the word "going upstairs", she felt even more uneasy.
What did Teacher Tan mean when he called Lu Miao upstairs?
Are they going to keep Lu Miao there to do his job?
No, impossible!
As Teacher Tan said, newcomers must start from the ground floor!
Li Yue was preoccupied with something and was absent-minded the whole morning.
Wang Ming finished delivering the things to the upper floors.
When I came back, I saw some visitors walking around in the hall, but no one was there to greet them.
He went up to pull it over, and when he went to the tea room to pour tea, he couldn't help but say a few words to Li Yue:
"Those who come here are not ordinary people. They all have important business. You can't guarantee that a senior leader will come early... You should be smart. How can you let the leader wait?"
Li Yue was busy thinking about her own things and ignored Wang Ming.
Wang Ming was a little angry.
But I remembered that I had heard someone say before that this Li Yue was brought in by Director Tan.
Was he the last disciple, or something else?
Wang Ming didn't know what to say, so he took out the tray, made four cups of tea and quickly served them to the people.
Let’s talk about the other side.
Teacher Tan took Lu Miao directly to his office on the third floor.
He pushed the door open and said, "Put your things aside for now."
"good."
Lu Miao casually put the canvas bag on the chair at the entrance.
Teacher Tan was tidying up at the desk.
Just one night passed and a pile of manuscript papers piled up on the desk again.
Tidy up a bit, put important and urgent documents on the surface, and prepare to deal with them as a priority later.
Teacher Tan flipped through the pile of manuscripts on one side of his desk.
He pulled out a few discarded handwritten manuscripts that were not sensitive to the national situation and handed them to Lu Miao:
"Last time I saw that your translation skills were pretty good, and your speed was also acceptable. There are pens and papers on the table. Please take a few sheets and show me what you have written today."
