Chapter 842 Suspicion
Minister Zhan made a long, deep "uh" sound and said carefully:
"Xiao Lu, you have another task here."
"Um?"
Minister Zhan pushed his reading glasses, his eyes suddenly sharp:
"Black and White..."
"squeak--"
…
Lu Miao was slightly stunned.
The untimely flapping of the window sash and the teeth-grinding creaking sound just drowned out the rest of Minister Zhan's voice.
But even so, how smart is Lu Miao?
Just from that one sentence, she understood Minister Zhan's meaning.
"I see. I'll get back to work."
Minister Zhan smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and his expression became amiable again:
"Go ahead."
Lu Miao nodded, pushed the door open and left.
When she saw a slender figure standing on the side outside the door, she smiled warmly and nodded as a greeting.
Then he walked ahead boldly:
"My office is on the third floor. Come with me. Your desk should be arranged soon."
"OK."
Xi Lufeng followed her as she said, speaking in a gentle and humble tone:
"I might have to trouble you later."
Lu Miao smiled calmly and said frankly:
"I've only just taken office, so I may not be able to teach you much. Anyway, let's encourage each other."
Xi Lufeng chuckled and shrugged, saying that he was looking forward to working together in the future.
The HR department is very fast.
Minister Zhan had just communicated with Lu Miao, and a young comrade from the Human Resources Department brought in a small long table.
Lu Miao instructed someone to place the table a few meters away from her desk.
This way, everyone will have a small space for private activities when working later.
No matter how small the movement is, it will not disturb the other party.
At least, she doesn't like to be disturbed.
Xi Lufeng was temporarily assigned to her, and the work he would be responsible for later would also be assigned to him by her.
Then the ability level must naturally be verified and tested.
Lu Miao flipped through the factory product documents that had been scrapped a few days ago, and randomly picked out two of them and handed them to Xi Lufeng.
Just like how Teacher Tan had examined her before, she also followed the official procedures to examine Xi Lufeng.
Xi Lufeng took the manuscript, his handsome face smiling gently, and asked teasingly:
"Is this a test?"
"Let's complete the formal process as soon as possible."
Lu Miao nodded and didn't look at him.
She calmly opened the drawer and took out the half-opened file bag.
She tore open the seal neatly, took out a thick stack of documents and roughly flipped through two pages.
The other hand felt along the side of the table.
Unable to find the cup as before, she raised her voice slightly and shouted:
"Yu Hong? Make me a cup of coffee."
"Yes, right away~"
The assistant outside the door ran away to the tea room to make coffee.
Inside the door, I don't know whether they were surprised by her businesslike style of doing things or her overly cold and distant attitude.
In short, Xi Lufeng was slightly stunned and stood in front of her desk for two seconds.
But it was only for that moment, and he smiled nonchalantly.
He took out the pen from his breast pocket, sat back in his seat and started working hard.
Lu Miao lowered his head and seemed to be flipping through documents, but in fact he raised his eyes and glanced at the man sitting opposite him calmly.
He looks gentle and non-aggressive, and won't get angry easily.
But sometimes, these people are the most dangerous.
It was as if a chess game was placed before me.
So is he the white chess elephant in the sun?
Or under the dark side, what about the enemy's black car?
Lu Miao shared the same doubts as Minister Zhan.
Xi Lufeng was a highly educated talent sent by the higher authorities, and the British Publishing House had no room for refusal.
But he is different from Lu Miao.
Lu Miao was born into a military family, and his elders had military merits.
Her background is good and she is trustworthy.
Xi Lufeng came from a working-class background.
Under normal conditions, he and Lu Miao are both good comrades worthy of trust.
But it is very likely hard to say whether he has been infiltrated with certain ideas during his years abroad.
Senior executives within the company have reservations about Xi Lufeng.
But to be on the safe side, Minister Zhan meant that we need to observe for a while longer.
The senior members were in charge of different important areas, and Lu Miao was also in charge of one of them.
But she was a newly appointed director, and if there were special circumstances, it would be best for her to find an excuse to shirk responsibility.
That's why Minister Zhan said that she is the most suitable candidate.
"senior."
Yu Hong came in with coffee, and Lu Miao looked away.
"Thanks for your hard work."
…
Xi Lufeng finished translating the manuscript of about 1,500 words, exactly half an hour before lunchtime.
Lu Miao took a quick glance.
After all, I studied abroad, so I have no problem with regular translations.
It’s just that I’ve probably never come across this kind of product introduction before, so it took a little while.
But this only shows that his level is decent, but his specific level is not very clear.
Lu Miao thought for a moment, took off the pen cap and wrote eight identical words on the paper.
"Try this?"
She pushed the manuscript toward the table.
Xi Lufeng did not rush to take the manuscript away, but stood beside her, leaned forward slightly on the table and began to read.
"I'm guessing Director Lu probably meant something more than 'eight buffaloes,' so is this a grammatical trap?"
Xi Lufeng had a faint smile in his eyes and took the pen from Lu Miao's hand:
"Borrow it for a minute."
His fingers are long and slender with distinct joints, and the strokes of his characters are vigorous and powerful.
She is beautiful, but not as gentle and kind as he is.
There is an old saying that goes "You can tell a person by his handwriting", and there is some truth to this.
His true character may not be what he reveals on the surface.
If my first impression of him is not that I dislike him.
Then Lu Miao's second impression was that he subconsciously felt a little wary.
The plural form of the word buffalo is quite special and has several translation meanings.
It can represent animals such as buffalo and bison.
It can also be used as a verb to confuse or scare.
It can also be used as the name of the city "Buffalo" in a certain state of the United States, also known as Buffalo.
Lu Miao glanced at his translation of the eight "buffalo" on the paper:
The buffalo that was frightened by the buffalo in Buffalo went to frighten the buffalo in Buffalo.
Ordinary people may not understand this way, but to make it easier to distinguish and understand, we can include Team One, Team Two, and Team Three.
The restatement is:
The buffaloes from Buffalo Team 2, who were frightened by the buffaloes from Buffalo Team 1, went to scare the buffaloes from Buffalo Team 3.
Although it is a bit awkward to pronounce, these eight buffaloes together form a grammatically correct and complete sentence.
It is obvious that Xi Lufeng not only has a good foundation in English, but also has a very strong foundation in grammar.
"Okay, I roughly understand your situation."
Lu Miao took back his pen, tidied up the table casually and stood up:
"It's almost time for lunch. We're having lunch with the other team members today, so why don't you come along? We can get to know each other, and you can also get familiar with the way to the cafeteria."
