Chapter 18 Second-hand Reading and Comprehension
In the conference room downstairs, two blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners were sitting, talking very fast in a low voice.
When they saw Jing Yi and Fan Ming, they stood up and greeted them in a friendly manner.
"Hello%#??%*~?/#..."
Jing Yi: "@.@???"
What the hell, it was gone in a gust of wind.
Jing Yi had a hard time reading the text on paper, and it was even harder to listen, not to mention that business English is quite different from ordinary English. These words automatically turned into gibberish when they fell into his ears.
He only understood one "Hello".
It was over, how was he supposed to translate this.
At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Li Wenzhao walked in in a well-dressed suit. Fan Ming immediately pulled out a chair, "Boss Li, the information is ready."
Li Wenzhao nodded, "It's being translated."
Secretary Fan pushed his glasses, "Rongcheng branch has a foreign delegation visiting today. We borrowed two groups of translators from the headquarters this morning. There are no available translators at the moment, so I specifically asked Butler Jing to help."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Who do you ask to help?
He turned around in disbelief and saw that the butler was already sitting next to him.
Secretary Fan glanced at his watch, walked over to Jing Yi and whispered, "Butler Jing, I'll leave it to you. I have an important reception downstairs, so I'll leave first."
Before Jing Yi could react, Secretary Fan ran away.
[Good for you, Secretary Fan. You're outsourcing work, right? I'll remember you!!! 】
When the two foreign businessmen saw Li Wenzhao sitting down, they thought the meeting had already started and were the first to express their opinions.
"%#??%*~?/#..."
This time he spoke faster.
But I don't know if it was because of the nervousness, Jingyi was highly focused, and he really caught a few familiar words here and there. He quickly did a listening comprehension.
"Emm... If I heard it correctly, what they meant was that they were very satisfied with our company's stockings, and the project content resulted in their lives. Next time they will bring their accents to Ansha you..."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jingyi's voice became smaller and smaller, and he slowly frowned.
[Why is this getting more and more annoying? Is this what the foreigner meant? 】
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Not only is it annoying, it also scalds people's hearing.
The foreigner was still chattering, Jing Yi tilted his head and prepared to translate again, Li Wenzhao could not bear it anymore and turned his chin back, opened his mouth and spoke fluent business foreign language, and chatted with the two people opposite.
Jing Yi: ???
【Don’t you know it yourself? 】
【Then why are you looking for a translator? To increase employment positions】
Jing Yi kept on talking for a while, and in the gap between the conversations, he asked Li Wenzhao carefully: "Boss Li, what did they say?"
【Are they really going to kill you? 】
Li Wenzhao's eyebrows skipped a beat: "Butler Jing, are you the translator or am I the translator?"
Jing Yi retracted his head: "Oh, I am."
How can a translator ask the boss for a translation? It's Tiangang who does it.
"Butler Jing." Li Wenzhao paused for a few seconds, but couldn't help but remind him: "You translated very well, don't translate next time."
Jing Yi: "..." Li
Wenzhao sneered again: "I don't want to do another cloze test, nor do I want to listen to the second-processed reading comprehension."
Jing Yi was unconvinced and whispered: "I can learn." Li
Wenzhao said: "Do you know what the first word in the CET-4 preparation dictionary is?"
Jing Yi thought for a while: "abandon."
Li Wenzhao laughed with an ambiguous meaning.
Jing Yi responded for a few seconds: "..."
OK, I heard it was a sarcasm.
In the next meeting, Li Wenzhao started the barrier-free communication mode and had a good chat with the foreign businessmen. Jing Yi was happy to be idle and fell asleep in the 3D oral environment.
These two foreigners are the latest partners that Li Wenzhao has contacted. In view of the fact that the domestic market has been occupied by fraudsters, many cooperation projects cannot be promoted. In order to reduce losses, Li Wenzhao can only set his sights on foreign countries.
Fortunately, he is lucky and soon found a partner to cooperate with. However, these two people are still in the wait-and-see stage and dare not act easily.
Li Wenzhao chatted with them for more than an hour and successfully signed a cooperation agreement.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended and Li Wenzhao sent someone to send the foreign businessmen out of the company.
"Boss Li." Secretary Fan walked out of the staff elevator, sweating profusely: "Regarding the sudden resignation of Director Zhang and Director Li, many people on the board are dissatisfied. They ask you to immediately disclose the reason for your resignation."
Li Wenzhao: "How is the lawyer preparing?"
Secretary Fan handed over the document: "It's completed."
Li Wenzhao glanced at it and signed at the end: "Go ahead, sue them to death."
Secretary Fan had a blank expression: "Understood."
Jing Yi stared at Li Wenzhao's back suspiciously.
[Director Zhang, Director Li... Isn't this the lawless lunatic we met at the last meeting? He resigned so soon]
[How did the young master find the cat so quickly? Is he cheating? 】
No wonder the atmosphere in the company is weird today. It turns out that two directors resigned in succession for unknown reasons, causing everyone in the entire company to feel insecure.
Li Wenzhao returned the document to Secretary Fan and lowered his eyes. In a sense, he was indeed cheating.
Eavesdropping.
Listening to the butler's various chatter in his heart every day.
Back to the top floor office, Secretary Fan asked Jingyi for the minutes of the meeting just now.
"?"
Jingyi looked at the notebook in his hand, "No one asked me to take notes?"
He thought he was just there to make trouble for the entire meeting just now.
Secretary Fan said, "Oh, I forgot. Butler Jing, can you repeat the content of the meeting? I'll write it down."
As he said that, he took the notebook from Jing Yi's hand and opened it. The first page was full of makabaka.
"..."
"..."
Secretary Fan was a man who had seen a lot of ups and downs. He paused for only ten seconds before turning to the second page and picking up his pen to wait.
Jing Yi was a little confused looking at his battle.
He could no longer remember what was said in the meeting. He mainly relied on reading and understanding the first half, and the second half was just scribbling. After more than an hour, he could only barely remember a general idea.
Under Secretary Fan's expectant eyes, Jing Yi slowly spoke: "They said... our company's stockings are selling well, and I hope that President Li will not kill them, otherwise the accent will cost President Li his life."
Gah.
The pen in Secretary Fan's hand broke directly.

After sending Secretary Fan and the broken pen in his hand away, Jing Yi returned to his small desk and sat down, turning the pen with his fingers intermittently, and secretly glancing at Li Wenzhao next to him.
"Have you seen enough?" After an unknown amount of time, Jing Yi was awakened by the voice. When he came back to his senses, he met Li Wenzhao's inquiring eyes. "What are you looking at?"
Jing Yi subconsciously said, "Looking at the protagonist halo of the eldest master."
Li Jia has been so strange recently. The big pits that appeared in the early stage of the novel have not played a role. What's going on? Did the original author change the whole text?
Or did the novel world produce a butterfly effect because of his arrival?
But he hasn't done anything yet.
After thinking about it, Jing Yi felt that Li Jia might have awakened some extraordinary talent, such as a rebirth system, predicting the future, and the protagonist halo.
Li Wenzhao listened quietly to the analysis of the young butler. It seemed to be well-reasoned, but it was actually getting further and further away from the truth. He said calmly: "Is this the setting of the new novel you read?"
Jing Yi nodded and observed Li Wenzhao's expression: "Yes, do you think it's magical?"
Li Wenzhao turned to look at the documents: "You are just too idle. These are the employee information of the third company. Take them and have a look."
Jing Yi: -A-
Endless work is here again.
"Butler Jing, what's that expression on your face?" Li Wenzhao looked at him: "Why do you start to droop when it comes to work?"
Jing Yi said weakly: "This is how work works."
We are all workers for capital, who is more dedicated than who.
"Dangdangdang." There was a knock on the office door.
Jing Yi stood up for a second and looked out the door with fiery eyes.
【Hurry, hurry, hurry, someone come and save the poor office worker】
"President..." Secretary Fan gently opened the door and met Jing Yi's eager gaze. He subconsciously took two steps back.
For some reason, he felt a little nervous when he saw Butler Jing.
Li Wenzhao raised his head: "What's the matter?"
Secretary Fan walked out from behind the door, holding a tablet in his hand. The screen was on, and a big face stood quietly in the center.
Jing Yi stretched his neck curiously: "Secretary Fan, someone died in the company?"
"..."
"..."
The person in the black and white photo twitched his mouth, "Have you ever seen a dead person with his eyes open!"
Jing Yi was startled.
He looked over carefully, oh, it turned out to be a video call.
Secretary Fan put the tablet in front of Li Wenzhao, "President, President Shen has hacked into my equipment and insisted on meeting with you."
【Shen? This is the surname of the main character.
Let me see what the main character looks like after more than 3,000 chapters and all the members of the Li family serving as stepping stones just to send one person to the clouds.
Before Li Wenzhao could react, a furry head appeared in front of him. From his perspective, he could just see the soft profile of the butler and the long and beautiful neck.
Looking closely, the butler's skin was in surprisingly good condition, almost blindingly white, and the fine hairs looked fragile, as if a pinch would leave a mark.
Jing Yi moved to the tablet and carefully looked at the person on the screen.
He has a refreshing short hair, is thin, cold, has deep eye wrinkles, and his eye sockets are narrow and sharp. He is handsome, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows reveal calculations. He doesn't look like a good person at first glance.
[That's it, and he hasn't even asked Li Wenzhao yet. Can he be the hero of a cool novel who is favored by fate, loved by his mother, and acts on the edge of the law? ]
The original text doesn't say it like this.
In the novel, the hero is extremely good-looking and a nymphomaniac. Any woman will try her best to be like the hero and use all her treasures just to compete for the only position of the queen.
Jing Yi looked at the tablet, then at Li Wenzhao, then at the tablet, and then at Li Wenzhao.
He couldn't help but sigh in surprise -
[No, are they sick? 】
"There's someone quietly appearing beside Mr. Li, would you like to introduce him?" the person in the tablet asked.
Jing Yi turned around to look, then realized that he was blocking his line of sight and immediately moved away.
Li Wenzhao lightly pressed the corner of his mouth and did not answer: "Boss Shen invaded my company's equipment without saying hello, wasn't it also silent?"
"Don't mind, I have something urgent to find Boss Li today, but unfortunately the call has been unavailable, so I had no choice but to resort to this last resort."
Li Wenzhao recalled the newly installed software in his mobile phone, curled his lips and smiled, "What is it?"
"Next Tuesday, our Shen Group will celebrate its third anniversary, and we specially invite Boss Li to attend the ceremony." The man smiled: "Boss Li, do you dare to come?"
Li Wenzhao smiled: "Boss Shen invited me, how can I break the appointment."
"Great." The man laughed twice: "I heard that Boss Li has recently cut off a lot of termites in the company with a drastic measure, and his methods are fierce and powerful. It seems that he is very capable. My company has also encountered a lot of problems recently. I hope Boss Li can show me his skills on the spot."
"Okay."
Li Wenzhao hung up the video and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.
"Butler Jing, accompany me on another field trip."
Jingyi:?
