Su Jingjing didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward and blunt, and she couldn't grasp their attitude at first.
Never mind, just do your best.
Looking at the familiar English words, I thought about them for a moment and then started writing.
During the few minutes he spent translating English materials, Lin Jianji occasionally glanced at her.
Watching Su Jingjing write on the paper almost without thinking, Lin Jianji was impressed by her attitude, even though he didn't know how accurate she was. Before, every other job applicant had been scratching their heads and wasting his time.
For some reason, Lin Jianji felt a surge of anticipation for the young girl in front of him, who was only in her early twenties.
After more than ten minutes, Su Jingjing finally made a sound and put away her paper and pen.
Lin Jianji took the paper and pen, and asked in surprise, "Finished translating?"
Before Su Jingjing could answer, he eagerly bent down to check, and what he saw shocked him.
The English-to-Chinese translation flows smoothly, with almost no awkward sentences, making it a pleasure to read.
This English material is of medium difficulty, and it's no easy task to translate it completely in a short period of time. It seems he has truly found a talented person this time.
Thinking of this, Lin Jianji immediately changed his attitude, stood up and walked to Su Jingjing, and said with a smile, "Miss Su, I am very satisfied with the material you translated. Would you be interested in joining our Shuqi Newspaper?"
He skipped some of the necessary interview steps.
"By the way, the salary here is pretty good, 50 yuan a month." As he spoke, he held up five fingers, just to lure Su Jingjing into taking the bait.
This result was within Su Jingjing's expectations. Of course, she wouldn't compromise her principles for 50 yuan, but she couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
Sure enough, in the 1980s, educated people were the most sought-after, while those without a degree could only find temporary jobs or backbreaking work.
"Ms. Su, are you not satisfied? Is it because you're not satisfied with the salary and benefits? I can increase it a little more."
Over the past month, Lin Jianji has encountered all sorts of employees and really doesn't want to lose such a promising talent as Su Jingjing.
"Yes, President Lin isn't like that." Su Jingjing bit her lip, her mind filled with concerns.
She didn't want to work at the newspaper office every day; the back-and-forth was too much trouble.
After she expressed her thoughts, Lin Jianji fell into deep thought, unsure of what to do, yet unwilling to lose such a talented individual.
"How about this, if you don't want to go to work, you can come over every now and then to pick up the materials to translate at home. It'll be one yuan per short story and three yuan per long story. Is this pricing arrangement acceptable to you?"
Su Jingjing pondered for a moment. The short story she had just translated took her more than ten minutes. If it were a longer story, it might take about an hour.
Although the price was a little lower than she expected, it was still acceptable.
"Okay, thank you, President Lin."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
The deal was struck, and Su Jingjing took ten articles home to translate at once.
She went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative after leaving the newspaper office. She had already finished the walnut shortbread and fruit she bought last time. These were probably popular snacks in the 1980s, so Su Jingjing bought some more.
She had originally planned to buy clothes for her two children, but seeing the wide variety of styles available, she found it difficult to choose.
Never mind, I'll bring both kids next time to choose.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, I went to a nearby meat stall and bought another pound of lean and fatty pork. Since I didn't have any ration coupons, the price was relatively expensive.
There were also free-range eggs from local farmers, priced at 60 cents per pound. Su Jingjing bought three pounds in one go, and the shopkeeper, seeing her generosity, even gave her a basket as a gift.
Just as she was happily walking back, she ran into an unremarkable-looking man who looked shifty-eyed.
The man looked down at Su Jingjing and said, "You came to the city, why didn't you come to see me?"
Su Jingjing looked around in disbelief and pointed at herself.
Are you talking to me?
Who is this person? Is he/she very familiar with the original owner of this body?
Wang Hui thought Su Jingjing was angry, so he immediately changed his tone, making it sound a bit greasy.
Did your husband yell at you?
“I told you that he and the kids would only hold you back. If we had sold the two kids a few days ago, wouldn’t we have had some money?”
The implication was that Su Jingjing had changed her mind at the last minute, causing him to be beaten up by those two people and lose twenty yuan.
He'd been eyeing Su Jingjing's purchases for a while now.
We must get that twenty yuan back from that idiot Su Jingjing.
That idiot is lucky; she married a rich soldier.
After hearing these words, Su Jingjing suddenly realized and unconsciously took a step back. So this was Wang Hui.
Tsk tsk tsk, I really don't know what the original owner's taste was like. Wang Hui is less than 1.7 meters tall, has a sleazy appearance, his face is pockmarked, and his middle-parted hair looks like a bowl cut. He can be described as extremely ugly.
Li Hanting is a tall man of 1.88 meters. Just standing in front of you, you can feel his upright posture. You can be attracted by his aura at a glance.
"You dare show your face in front of me again? You even tried to sell my child! I'll sell you first!" Su Jingjing rolled up her sleeves fiercely, clearly ready to settle scores with Wang Hui.
Wang Hui is neither good-looking nor useful. Su Jingjing usually indulges him, which has spoiled his temper. Now he is quite afraid of Su Jingjing getting angry.
"Are you crazy? Didn't you agree to it too?"
"If you keep doing this, I'll never talk to you again."
In the past, whenever he said those words, Su Jingjing would come running over to beg him.
