The man shook his head helplessly before leaving.
Young people nowadays really couldn't settle down to do work.
Among this batch of intern students, Su Xiaotian was the most reliable, but she had also made it clear from the beginning that she would not stay to work in the Translation Department in the future.
Of the remaining three, Lu Xuan was the only student who was considered decent. As for the other two, they had too little composure, and people like them were not suitable for working in the Translation Department.
Unbeknownst to the three of them, their futures had already been largely decided.
Two days later, Cai Guo'an, who was responsible for mentoring the interns, called Tang Ping into his office.
Tang Ping entered Cai Guo'an's office looking completely bewildered.
"Is there something you need me for?" Tang Ping felt uneasy.
She didn't know why Cai Guo'an had suddenly called her over, but instinctively, she felt it wasn't a good thing.
If it were good news, Cai Guo'an's expression wouldn't be so grim.
At this moment, Cai Guo'an had a dark expression, as if someone owed him money.
Tang Ping didn't doubt for a moment that ink could be squeezed from Cai Guo'an's face.
She quickly thought back, certain that she hadn't made any major mistakes in the past two days.
Only then did she feel slightly relieved.
"Xiao Tang, I heard someone say before that your translation skills are very high. But look, is this a mistake that someone with high translation skills should make?"
Cai Guo'an took out a stack of manuscripts and threw them down in front of Tang Ping with a slap.
Tang Ping's eyelids twitched.
These were her translated manuscripts; of course, she recognized them.
However, what had she mistranslated that made Cai Guo'an so angry?
She quickly grabbed the documents, wanting to prove that her translation was not wrong.
But after scanning through them at a glance, she was instantly speechless.
Her complexion grew increasingly pale.
"I'm sorry, Director Cai, it's my fault!"
Tang Ping was someone who could admit her mistakes. After discovering the problems in her translation work, she apologized immediately.
"Xiao Tang, I know your parents. They are people who are extremely passionate about their work. I hope that in the future, you will also work diligently and treat translation work as a lifelong career, rather than just going through the motions!" Cai Guo'an said earnestly. Sudan Novel Network.
Cai Guo'an had a good relationship with Tang Ping's parents and indeed treated Tang Ping like his own child, which was why he said these words.
However, these words felt very uncomfortable to Tang Ping.
She couldn't help but think that Cai Guo'an was trying to put her in her place.
Cai Guo'an, of course, was unaware of Tang Ping's thoughts.
He continued to speak earnestly, "Xiao Tang, I know your capabilities. You shouldn't have translated it like this. If your parents knew about this, they would also be disappointed!"
Tang Ping's face grew worse, turning from red to ashen.
Her hands, clutching the manuscripts, clenched tightly, almost as if she were going to crush the thick stack of papers.
After Cai Guo'an finally finished his nagging, she turned to leave. As she stepped out the door, tears welled up in her eyes.
"He speaks so nicely, saying he knows my parents. Since he knows my parents, why didn't he recommend me to receive the visiting delegation?"
"What's the point of doing such dull and tedious work? It doesn't even help improve my skills!"
She muttered softly, but the more she complained, the more wronged she felt.
When she returned to her workstation, Tang Ping sat down, her whole body seeming to collapse.
But the anger in her heart was burning fiercely at this moment!
Unable to direct her grievances at anyone else, she focused them all on Su Xiaotian.
At this time, Su Xiaotian was completely unaware that she had become the person Tang Ping was thinking about. She was diligently preparing for the reception of the visiting delegation.
This time, she was still responsible for the translation work for the delegation reception team. Although she was not the lead translator, she was indispensable.
Su Xiaotian was studying the situation of the visiting delegation and their intentions and objectives for this visit.
She had even learned about the companies that might discuss cooperation with domestic enterprises within the delegation.
The other members of the reception team were full of praise for Su Xiaotian's diligent preparation work.
It was rare to see young people nowadays who could settle down and do such things.
It was commendable that this young girl, who had not yet reached adulthood, possessed such patience and professional ability.
Since most of them had interacted with Su Xiaotian before, they did not believe that Su Xiaotian was incapable of handling the translation work for this mission.
Although Su Xiaotian was not as proficient in the Y language as she was in German and French, she was likely much more professional than ordinary translators.
"Director Fan, this child Xiaotian is truly excellent. Our Translation Department lacks children like her who have patience, perseverance, and a desire to learn!" an old translator exclaimed with emotion.
Fan Shufang smiled and said, "This child is serious about everything she does."
She also hoped that Su Xiaotian would stay and work in the Translation Department.
However, Su Xiaotian had already told her that she would leave the Translation Department in the future.
Regarding this, Fan Shufang also felt it was a great pity.
But this child had her own ideas.
She now had her own businesses, and her future prospects in commerce were likely much greater than in politics.
"My old man was thinking of letting this child gain some experience in the military, saying that it would be a loss to the army if this child didn't join."
Hearing Fan Shufang's words, the old translator said in surprise, "Why would you suddenly want the child to join the army?"
Fan Shufang smiled faintly and said, "You don't know, this child has received military-style training since she was young. She's highly skilled; three to five ordinary people are no match for her."
When talking about Su Xiaotian's outstanding qualities, Fan Shufang was so proud, as if she were talking about her own granddaughter.
"That's truly a shame. However, I still think this child should stay in our Translation Department. Although the situation in our Translation Department has improved a lot in the past two years, there are still too few people who can truly take on responsibilities independently!"
There was a severe generational gap!
Ten years had delayed an entire generation!
Especially for translation talents, in the past ten years, they had become extremely rare.
"I understand. You want me to persuade this child."
Fan Shufang knew exactly what the old translator, who was as greedy for money as ever, was thinking.
Indeed, the old translator laughed heartily, "After all, we are old colleagues, and you understand my thoughts best!"
"Let's talk about it after this reception work is finished!" Fan Shufang felt that the possibility of Su Xiaotian staying was slim, but she had to try.
Su Xiaotian was completely unaware of everything that was happening here.
She was not proficient in the Y language; her level was just normal.
If she didn't cram now, she feared there might be problems later.
Su Xiaotian had a personality that demanded she do her best in everything, so she naturally could not allow herself to make any mistakes.
