After breakfast the next day, she said goodbye to Xu Jinshu and said she was going out. Xu Jinshu didn't want her to go out at first, but after hesitating for a moment, he agreed.
A person's character cannot be improved by staying at home. She told Qin Ying not to run around and pay attention to the impact, and then went to work.
When I arrived at the publishing house, there was a recruitment information hanging on the blackboard at the entrance.
She felt happy in her heart, fortunately she arrived in time.
As soon as Chen Xuanhan saw Qin Ying, he happily took her to the Personnel Department.
He praised her highly in front of the head of the personnel department.
The head of the personnel department is a middle-aged man about the same age as Chen Xuanhan.
His name is Lin Zhiqiang. He looks very serious. When he saw Qin Ying, he looked her up and down and asked her straight away what her educational background was.
Qin Ying replied openly:
"I don't have any academic qualifications, but I've read a lot. I know I don't have an advantage in terms of academic qualifications, but I think I'm capable of doing this job!"
Lin Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then frowned. Does this mean he learned it all by himself?
He glanced at Chen Xuanhan, not understanding why he would introduce such a person.
Although self-study is possible, and he does not look down on self-taught people, the requirements here are very high.
But seeing Qin Ying's confident look, still a young girl, he couldn't bear to discourage her enthusiasm, and in front of Chen Xuanhan, after thinking about it, he said kindly:
"Young comrade, Editor Chen recommended you, and I trust him. But now, our recruitment requirements have changed. We're not just looking for Chinese proofreaders, we also need foreign language proofreaders. Even if you've read a lot, foreign languages..."
At that time, there was still a shortage of talent, so Qin Ying was not surprised that he asked for academic qualifications as soon as he opened his mouth.
She thought she was going to be rejected, but when she heard him proofread in a foreign language, her eyes lit up and she said happily:
“I can also do foreign language proofreading!”
Section Chief Lin frowned even more tightly and looked at her seriously again. The young comrade passed the test confidently.
With obvious seriousness in his tone, he reiterated:
"Young comrade, I understand your desire to find a job, but our position is very rigorous. Time is tight and the workload is heavy, so we don't have time to train new people. Bilingual proofreading isn't something you can do with just passion. I seriously suggest you look for another job!"
Chen Xuanhan also understood what was said. No matter how good Qin Ying's cultural level was or how much she had read, there were very few people who were proficient in foreign languages at that time.
He said with some regret:
"Comrade, I'm so sorry. We just received the notice that the publishing house is going to add a foreign language column, and we need a bilingual proofreader right now. I'm afraid you're not up to the task since you haven't received formal foreign language training..."
"Uncle Chen, Chief Lin, I understand your concerns, but please believe me, I don't need your training. Could you spare a moment of your precious time to test my skills on the spot? If I'm not up to par, I'll leave immediately! But since I'm here, can you give me a chance to apply?"
Qin Ying didn't want to miss such a rare opportunity, and she was not worried about foreign languages at all. She graduated from a double-first-class medical school with a master's and doctoral degree. She often needed to consult foreign literature, and her foreign language level was very good.
She looked at the two of them sincerely, with hope in her eyes.
Chen Xuanhan and Lin Zhiqiang looked at each other, both somewhat incredulous.
Lin Zhiqiang looked at Chen Xuanhan's expression. He probably didn't know that this little girl was so confident and bold!
Chen Xuanhan looked at Qin Ying through the thick glasses:
"Your sister said you never went to school. Are you sure you can speak foreign languages?"
Qin Ying still nodded seriously, without any ambiguity:
"Uncle Chen, bring me an article and I'll translate it for you now. It's bilingual. Can you take a look at my translation first?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Zhiqiang expectantly.
Seeing that Qin Ying was still insisting, Lin Zhiqiang suddenly felt that Qin Ying was a little ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
Bilingual proofreading! Did she think this was a joke?
His expression suddenly became very stern, and he looked at Chen Xuanhan reproachfully. This man had never been to school, but he dared to say that he could do foreign language proofreading. He was truly ignorant and fearless!
The recruitment information has been sent out for several days. Although the people who came are all educated, their foreign language skills are not good. Where does this girl get her confidence from?
Chen Xuanhan was moved by Qin Ying's sincerity. He gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Zhiqiang, pleading for her:
"Section Chief, why don't you give her a chance?"
Chen Xuanhan pleaded for mercy, and Lin Zhiqiang's face was not only stern but also annoyed:
"Old Chen, she hasn't received formal systematic training. Even if she knows a little bit of a foreign language, we require proficiency. You're simply wasting your time! We writers must be rigorous and serious. We can't just sit around and do something superficial!"
Chen Xuanhan smiled and nodded continuously:
"Yes, you're right, but Chief, the sign we put up doesn't mention any diploma requirements. Why not give her a chance and let her give up?"
Lin Zhiqiang still disagreed and rebuked Chen Xuanhan even more harshly:
"Why are you fooling around too?"
He looked at Chen Xuanhan, unable to understand what talent he saw in this little girl that made him trust her so much.
Seeing Chen Xuanhan being scolded by Lin Zhiqiang, Qin Ying felt very guilty and wanted to show her strength to them even more urgently. Her tone became more sincere as she pleaded:
"Chief Lin, I beg you to give me a chance, okay?"
