Chapter 416 is well done.
The morning's work was completed smoothly and perfectly.
Huo Qingci and Jiang Li worked together seamlessly; they knew what the other was going to do with just a glance in the simultaneous interpretation booth.
Shen Buyu was very envious.
Just as it was time for lunch, Jiang Li received a phone call, and her expression changed.
She ran to find Huo Qingci, "Deputy Director, my son has been admitted to the hospital with acute appendicitis and needs surgery. Can I go back first?"
Huo Qingci frowned slightly. "Take a plane back. I'll find a way to reimburse you."
Jiang Li didn't even have time to pack her own luggage. "Buyu, I don't have any valuables in my luggage. Just pack it for me. I'm in a hurry to leave."
Shen Buyu nodded. A child being sick at home is a serious matter.
Fortunately, her part of the work was already completed.
When it was time to eat, only the three of them remained.
Huo Qingci said he had something to do and hurriedly left with his phone.
Meng Hui rubbed his face. "What's all this about? Let's go eat. I found a popular snack shop online. Let's try it together."
Remembering Jiang Li's words, Shen Buyu said, "I'd better not go. I'll just have a bowl of noodles."
“Hey, my wife isn’t that scary,” Meng Hui smiled and didn’t insist. “Alright, I’m leaving.”
Shen Buyu went to the restaurant, ordered a bowl of beef noodles, and added an extra portion of meat.
The restaurant was crowded, so she had to share a table with someone else.
She took a picture of the noodles and showed it to Si Jingxu, who then forwarded the picture to her.
The only difference is that there's an extra red circle in the upper right corner.
That's the food the person across from you is eating.
Si Jingxu: [Why don't you have any yogurt? Are you bullying an intern?]
Chen Buyu chuckled softly, "I ordered everything myself. I didn't order anything because I was afraid of wasting food."
Si Jingxu: [Eat all the meat. I've booked a room for you at a nearby hotel. Just give me your phone number when you get there, and rest for a few minutes.]
His thoughtfulness was what touched Chen Buyu the most.
The hotel next door is a five-minute walk away.
When Shen Buyu reached the top floor and pushed open the door, he saw a table full of various kinds of yogurt.
She is meticulous, but most of the time she is still quite naive.
She picked out a flavor she liked, opened it, took a picture, and sent it to Si Jingxu: 【It's peach flavored!】
Si Jingxu: [Go take a nap, the front desk will call you when it's time.]
Even before the front desk phone rang, Huo Qingci's call came.
Shen Buyu never imagined that the day he would become an associate translator would arrive so soon.
Meng Hui went to a popular snack shop for lunch and ordered a raw marinated dish.
As a result, half an hour after eating, she experienced severe vomiting and diarrhea.
Shen Buyu had suffered from this disease before, so he was very familiar with it.
Acute gastroenteritis.
He simply couldn't continue his afternoon work.
Jiang Li has already boarded the plane.
Therefore, she was the only one who could serve as Huo Qingci's temporary partner.
Despite the minor mishap, Huo Qingci remained calm. He told Shen Buyu, "I will be in charge of the translation work for the entire event. Your main task is to take notes and provide reminders. I won't be responsible for the translation."
Shen Buyu's heart pounded. Her knuckles turned slightly white as she held the notebook. She nodded. "I won't hold you back, Deputy Director Huo."
As Huo Qingci entered the simultaneous interpretation booth, he glanced at her again.
She was looking down and tidying up the things on her desk.
"Don't be nervous, it's not difficult," Huo Qingci said again. "You are excellent. Just think of it as a small test of your hard work over the years."
Shen Buyu glanced at the old man beside him.
Okay.
After knowing him for so many years, I'm finally hearing him praise himself to my face.
As the meeting began, every cell in Shen Buyu's body went into battle mode.
She was so tense that she didn't even have time to think about how nervous she was; all her energy was focused on her speech at the meeting.
Huo Qingci is highly skilled; he can complete all the translation work on his own.
Shen Buyu felt that he didn't even need a co-translator.
But she still diligently recorded and backed up her notes.
Having memorized her speech beforehand, she knew that one of the speakers' points had several specific timeframes.
If you get even one moment of distraction, you'll miss the whole time.
She recalled it in her mind and listened carefully.
The speaker's remarks were precisely written down on paper and delivered to Huo Qingci.
Huo Qingci picked up her paper and translated it according to her notes.
The meeting lasted for two hours.
Shen Buyu couldn't even tell whether she or Huo Qingci was more tired.
"Deputy Director Huo, have some hot tea." Shen Buyu brought over two cups of water and placed them in front of Huo Qingci.
This afternoon, she understood Huo Qingci's good intentions.
Listen to the radio, take notes, make backups, read aloud and memorize...
Everything was a positive help to her.
Without the strict Huo Qingci, she might not have been able to complete her work perfectly this afternoon.
"Thank you," Huo Qingci nodded, "Sit down."
Shen Buyu sat opposite him.
"Well done," Huo Qingci said, taking a sip of tea. "I've been in the Translation Department for over a decade, and you're the only one who didn't make a single mistake on your first time as an associate translator."
He remained silent, surprised and proud.
The corners of her lips just curled up, but she immediately suppressed it. Her mother said she shouldn't be too happy too soon and should be humble.
"Laugh if you want to. I'll personally sign your internship report." Huo Qingci put down his teacup, speaking like a senior colleague. "However, you still need to prepare the meeting minutes from this morning and give them to me."
"I understand," Shen Buyu replied. "How is Senior Meng Hui?"
"He's on an IV drip, nothing serious. I'll go check on him later. There's a gathering with the translation department in Haicheng tomorrow, you're coming with me."
"Oh." Shen Buyu wanted to refuse but couldn't, there was really no one else around.
After the meeting ended, Chen Buyu walked out of the central building with light steps.
I looked up at the horizon, and the setting sun was casting a warm glow.
Take a deep breath; today is truly a good day.
I really want to ask Si Jingxu to go for a walk by the sea.
She leisurely shared her joy with him.
Si Jingxu readily agreed. As long as it wasn't a team-building date, he was happy to go with her to the roadside to look at people.
After parking the car, Shen Buyu and Si Jingxu walked hand in hand slowly toward the beach.
Shen Buyu kept talking.
She told Si Jingxu everything that had happened that day.
Huo Qingci praised me, saying that I am an outstanding talent that is rare to see in more than ten years.
"This only proves that he's a normal person. Anyone with eyes can see that you're outstanding." Si Jingxu didn't appreciate Huo Qingci's sentiment.
“There are many normal people, but not many normal people are willing to admit that I am excellent,” Shen Buyu corrected. “I only realized after I joined the company that the backstabbing between colleagues is even more intense than the palace dramas my mother watched.”
“That’s right,” Si Jingxu said, “but I’m still not satisfied with Huo Qingci.”
"How so?" Shen Buyu asked.
"Given his relationship with Qin Nianke, he should call me cousin and you his future cousin-in-law."
Shen Buyu paused, staring blankly at the seaside. "This is a mess."
