Chapter 175 Learning from Comrade Mi Xia
The Hongqi sedan took the two people directly to the Great Hall of the People. At this time, the outside of the Great Hall was already heavily guarded. Fortunately, the license plate played a big role. After checking all the way, the two people entered the Great Hall smoothly.
Led by the guards, the two of them went directly to the reception room. I saw the national flags of China and Albania hanging in the center of the reception room, a bunch of staff were walking around, and the two sides were going to start the talks in half an hour.
"Hello, Director Sun. This is the translator, right? You are really beautiful and intelligent. You really helped us a lot this time." Director Tan excitedly held Director Sun's hand and wouldn't let go.
"Hello, Director Tan, my name is Mi Xia, and I'm a sophomore at Jingqing University."
"Student Mi, my name is Tan Tan. This time, thanks to you, don't worry, I will apply for a national scholarship for you after this." Director Tan thanked Mi Xia again.
"Yes, I wonder what your level is, classmate Mi?"
"It should be possible to do simultaneous interpretation. For me, it's no different from my mother tongue." Mi Xia replied with some pride.
This is not the time to be modest. As expected, when Director Tan heard that Mi Xia had achieved the level of simultaneous interpretation, he was really overjoyed. He didn't expect that finding a student to take the blame would actually reach such a high level.
A few people were chatting when there was a commotion over there. It turned out that the time was almost up and the leader participating in this meeting, Mr. Zhang, arrived.
Mr. Zhang is usually very kind and never puts on airs when dealing with others. Therefore, many staff members greeted him respectfully along the way. Director Tan also hurried to greet him.
In the crowd, Mr. Zhang seemed to have suddenly discovered something and walked straight towards Mi Xia.
"Xia Xia, it really is you. From a distance you looked like you, but when I came closer I realized it is really you, haha." Old Master Zhang laughed heartily.
"Hello, Grandpa Zhang!" Mi Xia greeted him sweetly.
The cry of Grandpa Zhang shocked everyone around him. Director Tan and Director Sun beside him also looked at Mi Xia curiously.
Mr. Zhang knows him, and Mi Xia calls him Grandpa Zhang. It seems that Mi Xia has an unfathomable background.
"Xia Xia, what are you doing here?" Mr. Zhang asked kindly.
"The translator for today's meeting couldn't come at the last minute, so I came over to help." Mi Xia replied shyly.
"Oh? You can speak foreign languages?" Mr. Zhang asked in surprise.
"Well, I taught myself a few languages before." Mi Xia answered embarrassedly. She couldn't say that these were skills she brought over from her previous life.
"How many? How many foreign languages do you know?" Mr. Zhang was even more interested now. At this time, with the reform and opening up, exchanges with countries around the world are becoming closer and closer. Translators are in short supply, especially those who know multiple foreign languages.
Mr. Zhang is in charge of the diplomatic department, so he naturally knows the importance of translation talents.
"In reply to Grandpa Zhang, I know a foreign language."
Seeing that Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up, he said, "Xia, I remember that you haven't graduated yet. What are your plans after graduation? Do you want to come to the diplomatic department to gain some experience?"
"Grandpa Zhang, you are only a sophomore, and you will soon go to the United States for an exchange. As for after graduation, you are starting a business and have some business to take care of."
Mr. Zhang suddenly remembered the delicious food he had eaten last time, and it was true when he thought about it. A talent like Mi Xia would be wasted no matter where he was placed, and it would be best for her to start her own business.
"Director Tan, come here." Mr. Zhang waved to Director Tan.
"Mr. Zhang." Director Tan ran over quickly.
"When we're done here, take Xia to go through the formalities for becoming a non-staff employee. We'll pay her based on the number of times she's been there, and we can't let her help us for nothing, right?"
Then he turned to Mi Xia and asked, "Mi Xia, do you feel this way?"
Mi Xia quickly replied: "I will follow Grandpa Zhang's instructions. If you need me, you can always find me. I am a brick of the motherland. I will be moved wherever I am needed."
Mi Xia made a joke and everyone present laughed.
Mr. Zhang also said to him: "Look at Comrade Mi Xia's awareness. We should all learn from him."
Everyone echoed in unison, shouting to learn from Comrade Mi Xia, which made Mi Xia's face turn red.
Soon, the Algerian delegation also entered the venue. The second-in-command of the Algerian delegation was also surprised to see Mi Xia, because this was not the Chinese translator he was familiar with.
So he tried to greet her in Arabic: "Përshëndetje, zonjë e bukur, a jeni përkthimi ynë këtë herë." (Beautiful lady, are you our translator this time? For convenience, the following will be replaced by Chinese.)
Mi Xia answered cheerfully that the Algerian representatives were very happy. Everyone likes beautiful things, and the Algerian delegation was also very happy to have a pleasant translator.
The talks went very smoothly, and Mi Xia's fluent translation amazed both delegations.
After the meeting, it was time for the state banquet. Mi Xia refused 깊's request to have dinner together, but instead did her job as a translator conscientiously.
After everything was over, the Algerian delegation found Mi Xia.
"Beautiful Miss Mi, can we invite you to work in our embassy in China? I feel that we really need talents like you." said the Afghan ambassador.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ahmed. I'm still a student and can't work for you for the time being." Mi Xia replied generously.
"That's a pity. You can consider it after you graduate. You are always welcome to visit Albania." Ambassador Ahmed was very regretful.
"Yes, I really want to visit places like Vilana, Berat, Butrint, etc. in Albania. I will definitely visit them if I have the chance in the future."
In her previous life, Mi Xia had a relatively good understanding of Algeria because she learned Algerian. Although she had never been there, she knew all the famous tourist attractions.
Ambassador Ahmed was also very happy to hear that Mi Xia was familiar with the tourist attractions in his country.
It is amazing to have such knowledge in this day and age. For most people, only a few have heard of the name Alria.
After everyone saw off Ambassador Ru, the second-in-command of Afghanistan, Director Tan found Mi Xia again and, in accordance with Mr. Zhang's request, processed a work permit for Mi Xia as a non-staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mi Xia did not go back to school with Director Sun, but went straight to the compound.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it will be soon before I leave for the beautiful country. Although I can come back at any time, only Liu Haoyue knows about it, so I still have to prepare well for this New Year.
