"Xiao Qin, is this your translation?" Qiao Wei looked at Qin Hai with excitement.
Qin Hai grinned, "I just translated it randomly, not sure if it's correct."
Qiao Wei looked at him deeply, suppressing her excitement. She handed the cigarette box paper to Xue Hui and said, "Team Leader Xue, take a look."
Listening to Qiao Wei, Xue Hui, with suspicion, looked at Qin Hai. Could this kid really understand Italian? But from the information he gathered, this guy only had a junior high school education when he first arrived, and he was a rough guy who couldn't even write a coherent work report.
However, when he cast his gaze on the densely written words on the cigarette box paper, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he instinctively adjusted his glasses.
Although the handwriting on the paper was rough, as Qin Hai said, it was clear enough. Most importantly, the facts were evident—this translator was indeed better than him. Not only was the translation more fluent and natural, but even the words and paragraphs he struggled with were accurately translated.
In short, this translator's mastery of Italian far exceeded his own, truly proficient.
A fine layer of sweat appeared on Xue Hui's back, and there were faint sweat marks on his forehead.
If Qin Hai did the translation, didn't he just slap himself in the face by saying he would teach the other person Italian?
Xue Hui stared at the crumpled cigarette box paper, a product of translation in the restroom. It had slapped him in the face hard. His face felt hot, and he knew he had turned as red as a pig's liver without even looking.
What should he do now? Admitting in front of Qiao Wei and others that he was inferior to Qin Hai was worse than killing him.
Qin Hai looked at Xue Hui with a smug smile and asked, "Team Leader Xue, how was my translation? Are the sentences coherent?"
Xue Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead, embarrassedly saying, "It's pretty good, quite good. Xiao Qin, did you really translate this?"
Qin Hai grinned, "What, Team Leader Xue, don't you believe it?"
"No, no!" Xue Hui awkwardly replied.
He was already considering whether to leave this place quickly.
"Team Leader Xue, can I ask a question?" At this moment, Xiao Lingling suddenly interjected, blinking her big eyes, like an innocent girl asking a naive question, "Did Xiao Qin translate well, or did you translate well?"
Xue Hui's heart felt like it had been stabbed with a knife. The flesh on his cheeks visibly twitched, and Qin Hai and Xiao Lingling caught a perfect glimpse.
Qin Hai almost burst into laughter and secretly gave a thumbs-up to Xiao Lingling across the table. Xiao Lingling was also holding back her laughter, her face turning red.
Xue Hui couldn't bear it anymore, pushed the cigarette box paper towards Qiao Wei, and quickly said, "Team Leader Qiao, I... suddenly remembered there's something urgent to deal with. I'll leave first, take your time!"
"Hahaha..." Before Xue Hui and Yang Yong could get far, Xiao Lingling couldn't hold back anymore. She bent over the table, shaking with laughter. Qiao Wei, beside her, also covered her mouth, shoulders shaking with laughter, and her beautiful eyes stared at Qin Hai with a mixture of annoyance and delight.
Qin Hai picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, winked at Xiao Lingling, and proudly said, "Little Bell, how was my performance just now? Wasn't it awesome?"
Xiao Lingling, barely suppressing her laughter, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and made a face at Qin Hai. "Don't show off. Tell me, did you ask someone for help with the translation?"
What? Does a guy need help with translating this kind of thing?
Qin Hai's smile froze, and the peanut in his mouth almost choked him as he swallowed hard. How could he have known that translating required help from someone else?
Xiao Lingling couldn't hold back anymore, she tapped the table suddenly, stood up angrily, and said, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny!"
Laughter came to an abrupt halt, and everyone lowered their heads. Xiao Lingling snorted and turned to Qiao Wei, asking anxiously, "Qiao Wei Jie, what should we do? Qin Hai has never signed a deal before, he doesn't know what to do. Think of a way to help him!"
Qiao Wei, aware of Qin Hai's situation, knew that with his education level—having not even completed junior high school—and his background as a laborer, he might be able to handle simple tasks in a small company. However, replacing Yan Fang Group to sign a deal with another company was too much for him.
Qiao Wei picked up the proposal, her expression becoming more grim.
"I know about this deal. Four Seas Company wants to purchase equipment from overseas at a high price. Our company happens to have connections in this area overseas. If we can secure this deal, the profit will be substantial. However..."
"However what, Qiao Wei Jie, please say!" Xiao Lingling asked urgently. She seemed more anxious than Qin Hai.
"The procurement department of Four Seas Company is tough to deal with. They press down on prices, and Four Seas Company's background is complicated and not easy to mess with. So, although this deal is good, it's challenging to secure. As far as I know, we've already provided them with at least four proposals, all of which were rejected," Qiao Wei sighed.
"What do we do then?" Xiao Lingling was extremely anxious.
Qiao Wei looked at Qin Hai and sighed, "This matter is clear. Jian Ren wants to use this impossible deal to retaliate against you."
Qin Hai smiled, took the proposal, and said while reading, "It's fine. It's just a deal. Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't. You don't need to worry. Besides, even if I can't do it, I'll just pack my bags and leave. It's not a big deal."
"No!" Xiao Lingling and Qiao Wei said in unison. Xiao Lingling said urgently, "You finally came here, do you want to go back to the construction site and carry bricks? Jian Ren is obviously targeting you. I'll go to Director Lin and report him!"
Qiao Wei quickly stopped the excited Xiao Lingling and said to Qin Hai, "This matter is because of me. In public and private, I'll accompany you. If you lose your job because of this, I'll resign too."
Qiao Wei was determined, and Qin Hai could only nod in agreement, feeling touched in his heart.
