"Sigh!" In a building in Xin Cheng, a long sigh passed through the thin wooden door, causing the secretaries outside to discuss.
In the office, Yao Dehua scratched his head, which did not have much hair to begin with. He was filled with worries and did not know who to talk to.
"It's been more than five months! Why isn't there a new gold medal translator! "Yao Dehua lamented in his heart.
Yao Dehua was the Deputy General Manager of Xinda Translation Company, and the General Manager was his brother. Ten years ago, he and his brother volunteered to open up the translation market. Under the circumstances where no one was optimistic about it, he relied on his own ingenuity to carve out a bloody path and made Xinda Translation Company sit firmly on the top spot in the translation industry in South China.
However, in the past two years, there had been a bottleneck in the development of translation. This bottleneck did not mean that there was a problem with the company's strategy, but that there were not enough gold medal translators!
Due to the development in the past few years, Xinda had recruited almost all the excellent translators in South China, and the quality of their translations was generally higher than other small companies. Therefore, many customers from outside of South China came to visit them. This led to another problem. The other ranks were still manageable, but when it came to gold medal interpreters, it was like there was too much porridge and not enough monks. There were often a lot of gold medal assignments, but the gold medal translators could not complete them.
The academic atmosphere now was too utilitarian and too impatient. Too many young people were gradually lost and came out to wander around after learning half a bucket of knowledge. Moreover, the language profession was no longer as popular as it was ten years ago, and there was a shortage of talents in the field of translation. In the past two years, there were only two new gold medal translators last year, and they were promoted in the first half of the year. There were no new gold medal translators in the second half of the year.
Yao Dehua's brother had discussed with him before the New Year about whether to lower the standards for the gold medal translators and let some good silver medal translators replace them. Yao Dehua understood that this method could solve the urgent problem, but it would have a negative impact on the development of the translation market, and the impact would be far-reaching!
One had to know that if silver medal translators were to do the work of gold medal translators, the quality would definitely not pass. In the long run, it would affect the company's reputation, and that would lead to a decrease in quality customers, which would then affect the translators' income. It was an endless cycle.
To solve this problem, there were only two ways: to expand the translators in other regions or to train their own gold medal translators. The company had always been doing the latter, but the results were not obvious. To be honest, translation still depended on personal practice, and the teachers could only teach them the basics. The former was indeed a good idea, but it wasn't so easy. Yao Dehua had been laying out his plans. His stall had to be spread out slowly. If he made a big move, it would cause the local big companies to join forces to resist.
Yao Dehua said bitterly in his heart, "Give me another half a year! Half a year is enough! "
However, when Yao Dehua discussed with his brother at the beginning of the year, he made a military promise that if there was no gold medal interpreter by June this year, he could no longer stop his brother from interfering. At that time, the standard of a gold medal interpreter would drop, and it would be difficult to bring it back up again!
Could it be that more than ten years of hard work was going to go down the drain?
"Dong Dong", someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," Yao Dehua said as he ran his right hand through his hair.
A beautiful woman with a slim figure walked in. She was his secretary who was in charge of managing the interpreters.
"Boss, Mr. Wu from the Translation Department wants to see you." The secretary's voice was crisp and pleasant, like an oriole in the forest.
Yao Dehua stood up and asked excitedly, "Is there a new gold medal interpreter?" Wu Pingze from the Translation Department was one of the three gold medal interpreters in the department, and he was in charge of the assessment of the gold medal interpreters. What he meant by assessment was that other employees would help to erase the answers that were not up to standard, and the rest would be left for them to mark.
The secretary shook her head and smiled. "Mr. Wu did not say anything over the phone, but he sounded very happy."
There should be good news! Yao Dehua rushed over excitedly.
The Translation Department was the department that Yao Dehua had been in the most for the past few months, and all the employees were used to seeing him. Yao Dehua did not have the time to respond to the greetings of the employees as he went straight into Wu Pingze's office.
When Yao Dehua pushed open the door, he saw the three gold medal interpreters surrounding a computer. They were nodding their heads in admiration, and they did not even notice Yao Dehua's arrival.
These bunch of nerds. Yao Dehua thought it was funny, but he still respected these people very much. They were the pillars of the company!
"Mr. Wu," Yao Dehua knocked on the table and smiled. "You called me here, what good news do you have?"
A middle-aged man in his fifties with silver-framed glasses looked up and nodded at Yao Dehua with a smile. "Mr. Yao, aren't you always urging me to get gold medal interpreters? Well, we have a new gold medal interpreter today. "
Yao Dehua suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Really? Did you check his information? Did you confirm that he's a new gold medal interpreter? "
Wu Pingze nodded and said, "Yes, it's a new gold medal interpreter. I looked at his information in the background, and he has never registered with us before."
"And this gold medal interpreter is very good!" Someone next to him could not help but say, "Not only did he complete the assessment an hour earlier, but the quality of the translation he submitted was also very high! We're all impressed by his standard! "
Another gold medal interpreter also praised, "That's right. We can do it if he's fast, and we can do it if he's good. But to do it so fast and so well, he's really too good!"
Wu Pingze added, "Also, you might not believe me, but this interpreter is from Yangcheng, and he's not even thirty years old!"
Yao Dehua frowned and asked, "He's so young? Could it be that an expert used his information to register? "
"I don't think so. According to my understanding, there are less than five people in South China who can do this. We don't have such talents in our company. These are all well-known translators who work with publishing houses and do their studies in university. They won't lower themselves to do such a thing. Furthermore, boss, why do you care if he's an imposter? We're in urgent need of gold medal interpreters. As long as he can do his job, it's fine even if he's an expert. "Wu Pingze analyzed.
"That's right!" Yao Dehua nodded inwardly. "No matter what kind of person he is, it's fine as long as he's a gold medal interpreter!"
Yao Dehua slammed his right fist on his left palm and said in high spirits, "Since that's the case, let's see how well he's doing. If it's like what you said, he can do it quickly and well, we might as well give him some urgent missions with high prices. As long as we don't lack manpower in the translation department, I can carry out my 'A Single Spark' plan! "
On the other hand, Han Yan closed the browser after he finished the test. Since Xinda Translation Company wouldn't review it so quickly, he might as well look at it at night!
He stood up and stretched his body before opening the door to check on Qiqi.
Mosquito!
There was a large black mosquito biting Qiqi's arm. Its stomach was bulging, and it seemed to have sucked a lot of blood!
Han Yan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as his heart burned with rage! He quickly walked over to the crib and waved his hand to startle the mosquito. The mosquito buzzed and flew up.
How can I let you run away!
Han Yan's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He clapped his hands hard in the air, and his palms hurt. He didn't even need to look to know that they were red. The mosquito was flattened by Han Yan, and the blood it sucked splashed onto his hands.
Looking at the place where the mosquito bit Qiqi's white and tender arm was bitten by the mosquito, it was very conspicuous. Han Yan's heart ached, but his hands were stained with blood and the remains of the mosquito. He could only go to the toilet to wash them.
"Wah! Ah! Ah! " After washing his hands in the toilet, Han Yan heard Qiqi's loud cries as he was wiping the water on a towel.
"Damn it!" Han Yan cursed the mosquito and ran back to the room.
Qiqi was writhing on the bed and crying. Her right hand wanted to scratch her left arm.
"You can't scratch!" Han Yan hurriedly carried Qiqi out and didn't let her scratch. Qiqi still had some fingernails. If she scratched them, it might cause an infection.
Qiqi kept writhing, and her cries became louder and louder.
It seemed that it was too itchy. Han Yan hugged her and shook her with heartache. He blew a cool breeze to the red packet on her arm. But Qiqi's cries didn't stop. This method didn't work.
Han Yan only had to carry her into the toilet. He picked up Qiqi's small hand towel, dipped it in cold water, and gently touched the red packet. He didn't dare to wipe it. He was worried that he would scratch the red packet if he used too much strength.
The icy-cold water temporarily alleviated the itchy and painful feeling. Qiqi felt a little better, and her cries and shouts quieted down a little. Han Yan looked at her tearful appearance. She was so pitiful.
But the good times didn't last long. The painful and itchy feeling was like gangrene attached to the bone. Qiqi began a new round of crying and struggling.
Han Yan had to hold her with one hand and clamp her right hand with his arm. He took out his phone with the other hand and called Liu Suqin.
"Han Yan, what's going on over there? What's wrong with Qiqi? " As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Suqin heard Qiqi's cries coming from the phone. She anxiously asked.
"Godmother, Qiqi was bitten by a mosquito. Now she's itchy. Do you know how to stop her itch?"
"Why don't you put a mosquito net on Qiqi? Really, is there a father like you? You're so careless. "Liu Suqin scolded him.
"Godmother, I know I'm wrong. The most important thing now is to help Qiqi stop her itch. Hurry up and give me some advice." Han Yan said anxiously. Qiqi had been crying for more than ten minutes!
"Do you have baby toilet water at home?"
"No, not even toilet water."
"Is cooling oil okay?" Han Yan opened the cabinet and found a small red round box. It was the cooling oil that he bought last year.
"You can't use cooling oil. Qiqi is too young!"
"Then what should I do?" Han Yan asked with a sad face.
"What kind of father are you? Don't you even have toilet water at home? " Liu Suqin scolded him and continued to give advice. "Go get soap and apply it. It'll be fine in a while."
Han Yan quickly ran back to the bathroom. He put his phone aside and pinched a bar of soap. He turned on the tap and dipped it in water. Then he gently applied it on Qiqi's arm. Qiqi cried as she looked at her hand.
After a while, the red packet began to fade a little. The pain and itch probably also subsided. Qiqi finally slowed down her crying and gradually calmed down.
Han Yan touched Qiqi's skin near the mosquito bites. His heart ached as he said to her, "It's all Daddy's fault. I didn't notice the mosquito." Qiqi pouted and sniffled.
It's been raining recently and the weather is very hot. The mosquitoes are starting to run wild. Daddy Han, you have to quickly protect Qiqi's delicate skin!
