Chapter 507: No Education
Lu Miao listened to the noise silently, followed Teacher Tan to the end of the corridor on the left side of the stairs, and stopped in front of a workshop with the address "Translation Group-6" on it.
Teacher Tan stood at the door and knocked on the door of Translation Group 6's workroom.
"Director Tan!"
"What's up, Director Tan?"
The workshop is about 20 square meters, with two windows on each of the inner and outer walls, so the room is well lit.
Long desks, two in a set.
They are placed close together, with a group under each window.
There were six tables in total, but there were only four people inside.
They were all busy, but when they saw Teacher Tan coming, they all looked up and stopped what they were doing.
Teacher Tan smiled, took Lu Miao in his arms and pushed him towards the door, introducing him:
"Let me introduce you to a new partner. This is Comrade Lu Miao, currently studying English at Peking University. Although she is still a student, she is very capable."
"She will help out in Group 6 first. She can try out any loose manuscripts that she can't handle."
Teacher Tan tactfully indicated that Lu Miao was capable of translating the content, so this "helping hand" was not the same as that "helping hand".
"Director Tan, our team is in a state of panic every day and is in need of manpower!"
The four people in the room looked at each other, responded one after another, and smiled friendly at Lu Miao:
"Comrade Lu is here just in time. We can relax a little now!"
The other party was just being polite, Lu Miao wouldn't take it seriously.
He didn't know what to say, so he just curved his lips and smiled warmly.
Teacher Tan smiled, patted Lu Miao, and continued to speak to the crowd:
"She just arrived and doesn't know anything yet. When you have time, please take care of her."
"It's OK, Director Tan, don't worry!"
"Um."
Director Tan nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then took Lu Miao back.
"The translation team is usually very busy, so they probably don't have much time for you. You and Li Yue are classmates, so you can go find her and find out more. It's lunchtime now."
Thinking about it, Teacher Tan said again:
"It's not easy for her to go upstairs, but she still understands the general rules of discipline."
"Is it difficult to go upstairs?"
"Newcomers joining the company for internship all start from the grassroots level. You are an exception with your outstanding abilities."
Lu Miao nodded thoughtfully, roughly understanding something.
She is currently placed on the second floor.
Generally speaking, you shouldn't be able to just go to the third or fourth floor.
As he spoke, he had already reached the stairs.
Teacher Tan walked in front and led her downstairs, introducing her as they walked:
"The regular translators in the translation team earn 82 yuan a month, plus a fixed allowance."
"Eighty-two?"
Lu Miao exclaimed in surprise.
Teacher Tan smiled and tilted his head to look at her.
I wanted to ask if it was too much or too little.
Seeing her expression, Teacher Tan asked with a smile:
"Why, do you think it's less?"
"No."
Lu Miao shook his head awkwardly, saying no on the surface, but actually he felt that it was a bit too little.
Compared with the current factory workers with iron rice bowls, this salary is indeed better than that of most people.
But compared with her previous translation work, it is a bit lacking.
Eighty-two yuan, calculated at the price of five yuan per thousand words, is 16,000 words.
It’s an amount she can get in a week without much effort.
But this is a serious compilation...
"At this stage, most of the work in the agency is public works, and public works are not clearly calculated as income. They will be distributed to the staff in the form of another subsidy."
Official documents are those required for national official business.
For example, the theme drafts of meetings held by some senior leaders to receive foreign guests.
Or some domestic policies want the world to hear their voices.
The leaders would set the topics or write the basic texts, and then the English translations would be produced by the British Press and distributed through the British Press International News Department...
Lu Miao understood what Teacher Tan said.
The monthly salary system is analogous to the civil service system of later generations.
Basic salary, allowances, subsidies and bonuses.
When all was said and done, it was a huge mess, similar to the translation work she was doing outside.
However, these are not the issues that Lu Miao should care about at the moment.
Because she is in the internship stage and comes here occasionally during vacation, she does not receive any salary...
But it’s not completely in vain. Teacher Tan said that the National English Society provides meals.
She works as an assistant on the second floor and can enjoy some welfare policies.
It's a little consolation...
Lu Miao thought secretly.
As we chatted, we reached the first floor. Teacher Tan looked around and waved to Li Yue:
"Li Yue, you and Lu Miao are classmates, so it's only natural that you take care of each other. You've been at the Guoying Society for quite a while, and Lu Miao is new here, so you should help her get acquainted with the place. It's almost time for dinner, so why don't you go eat together?"
“…”
“…”
Talking about the teacher's arrangements made both of them fall silent.
Li Yue and Lu Miao didn't get along, but they didn't dare to refute Teacher Tan openly. They could only force a smile and nod:
"Okay, Teacher Tan, she'll go after I collect the cups."
Teacher Tan nodded, patted Lu Miao, and turned to go upstairs.
"snort."
The smile on Li Yue's face suddenly disappeared. She collected the cups in the rest area and walked towards the tea room.
Lu Miao followed slowly.
Wang Ming was busy somewhere else and there was no one else in the tea room.
Li Yue put down the cup with a thud and said in a sarcastic tone without disguising:
"Go through the back door!"
Lu Miao was neither annoyed nor angry, and slowly looked around the small tea room:
"It's okay, we all get along."
She was recommended to Teacher Tan by Director Ma.
If this is considered a backdoor, then Li Yue was also brought here by Teacher Tan, so how can it not be considered a backdoor?
Lu Miao's expression was calm and cold.
Since the first time they met, Li Yue had never seen any expression of panic on her face.
As if living up to the title of "Flower of Gaoling", she knew everything clearly and was confident about everything from beginning to end.
But the more calm she acted, the more annoyed and angry Li Yue became.
Especially when it comes to the issue of "going through the back door".
Li Yue never forgot how she joined the Kuo Ying Society.
She really hated people like Lu Miao.
Why was she still able to enter the British Social Sciences Press when she clearly didn't have any recommendation letters?
It was as if everyone was on her side.
Everyone chose to help her without any regrets.
But why?
Why?
She's obviously living such a good life!
Why do we have to compete for opportunities with ordinary people like them?
"A greedy person will never have a good ending. Don't be too proud too soon!"
Li Yue glared at Lu Miao fiercely.
Lu Miao's eyebrows first knitted together, then slightly raised, his eyes turned coldly towards Li Yue, and he said coldly:
"Just mind your own business. Isn't it uncultured to point fingers at others without being taught by an adult?"
"you!"
Li Yue was so angry that her whole body was shaking and twitching.
