Chapter 199 It is inevitable that I have more expectations in my heart
I thought there were not many job opportunities like this, but I didn't expect that just two days after returning to school, I received a call from Director Wang's secretary, asking her to go to the Chemical Equipment Import Department as soon as possible.
The call was made to the department. Liu Xinyu was in class at the time. After this class, there were two teaching assistant classes on listening and speaking.
Since the introduction department had invited Liu Xinyu to attend the next two classes, the head of the department arranged for another substitute teacher.
The office of the Introduction Department is some distance away from Beijing University. Although it is more convenient to ride a bicycle, it is too time-consuming to travel far, so Liu Xinyu chose to take a bus to go to the Introduction Department.
After almost an hour's bus ride, it was almost noon when Liu Xinyu arrived at the introduction department.
Director Wang happened to be free, and Liu Xinyu was soon taken into the director's office.
"Classmate Xiao Liu, we meet again! Come, sit down and talk." Director Wang pointed to the sofa and said.
Liu Xinyu thanked her generously and sat down on the sofa, listening carefully to Director Wang's introduction to the reason for inviting her here today.
“Due to scientific research needs, the School of Chemical Engineering imported a machine tool from Germany. Since it is refurbished old equipment, all the information is in German. Unfortunately, the School of Chemical Engineering does not have teachers who are proficient in German.
They asked the introduction department for help, but the number of comrades in the introduction department who knew German was limited. They all had very heavy translation tasks, and they really couldn't spare any personnel to go to the School of Chemical Engineering.
I would like to ask you to help the School of Chemical Engineering translate the information as soon as possible so that the machine tool can function as soon as possible." Director Wang explained the reasons and requirements concisely, and then looked at Liu Xinyu quietly.
Liu Xinyu felt slightly hesitant.
It's not that she doesn't want to help, but she's not that sure about translating the German information.
If it were English and French, she would definitely have agreed without hesitation. As for German, she was really just a beginner.
The reason why she was qualified for the last job mainly depended on her ability to communicate with German experts in English or French. If she had only used German, the job would have been several times more difficult to complete.
Besides, she was not familiar with machine tool terminology, so the translation was naturally even more difficult.
Wang Si didn't see Liu Xinyu's answer for a long time, thinking that she was worried about his studies, so he quickly said: "Although the School of Chemical Engineering hopes that the sooner the better, it will not affect your studies. Of course, you must put your studies first
.Under the premise of completing the coursework, the materials should be translated as early as possible.”
Director Wang had already mentioned this, and he couldn't make sense if he didn't open his mouth again. Liu Xinyu quickly shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter much about homework. For teaching assistants, the department will definitely arrange for teachers or other students to teach on their behalf, but my German is not good enough."
Well, I don’t understand the terminology of machine tools, so I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you.”
"No matter how bad your German is, it is still much better than that of the people from the School of Chemical Engineering. As for the terminology of machine tools, you don't have to worry. The School of Chemical Engineering will arrange two students to assist you." Director Wang finally understood why Liu Xinyu hesitated.
Smiling, he told me about the arrangements made by the School of Chemical Engineering.
Okay, let's give it a try, but I don't know who will be arranged by the School of Chemical Engineering to assist me.
After receiving Liu Xinyu's affirmative reply, Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief and called the School of Chemical Engineering to explain the situation and planned to ask the School of Chemical Engineering to introduce the director to pick up the person.
Liu Xinyu shook her head quickly and said that there was no need for someone from the School of Chemical Engineering to pick her up, she could just go there herself.
Director Wang thought for a while and felt that this was okay, so he asked his secretary to write a letter of introduction to Liu Xinyu to introduce the department.
Liu Xinyu got the letter of introduction and was about to say goodbye and leave.
However, Director Wang stopped her and insisted on inviting Liu Xinyu to have a casual meal at the Introduction Department.
There are several units here in the Introduction Department, so naturally there is a canteen.
It was indeed lunch time. Liu Xinyu thought for a while and did not refuse. She followed her secretary to the cafeteria for a work meal.
Liu Xinyu had classes in the afternoon, but the head of the department knew that she had come to the Introduction Department, so he would not count her as absent from class, so after lunch, she thanked Director Wang's secretary and got on the bus and went straight to the School of Chemical Engineering.
When the secretary handed her the letter of introduction just now, Liu Xinyu read it carefully.
The one who needs a German translation is the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the School of Chemical Engineering, which is the department where Zhang Hongliang works. I don’t know if this machine tool is needed for the scientific research project in which Zhang Hongliang is involved.
If so, would Zhang Hongliang be among the two classmates arranged to assist her in translation?
Thinking of this, Liu Xinyu inevitably felt a little more hopeful.
After studying in Beijing for more than a year, Liu Xinyu came to the School of Chemical Engineering not many times, but she came five or six times. Especially at the beginning of the new semester, she came twice in a short period of time to help Zhang Hongliang ask for leave, and every time she came
All are in the mechanical department.
Of course, I was no stranger to the building of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. After entering the campus, I went straight to the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
It was already afternoon class time, and there were not many people walking around the campus. Except for the sound of teachers lecturing and the whispers of students, the mechanical department building was relatively quiet.
Liu Xinyu found the department chair's office.
The office door was open, and an old comrade with gray hair was engrossed in writing something. This should be the Director Yang of the Mechanical Department she was looking for.
Liu Xinyu knocked lightly on the door. The old gentleman didn't even raise his head. He said "Please come in" and continued to write. After a while, he probably noticed that the person who knocked on the door did not come in. Then he looked up and found that it was a stranger.
The little girl had questions in her eyes, as if she was asking, "Is the little girl looking in the wrong place?"
Liu Xinyu walked towards the old gentleman calmly, smiled slightly and asked, "Are you Director Yang?"
The old gentleman nodded: "Yes, my surname is Yang, and I am the director of the Mechanical Department."
Liu Xinyu took out a letter of introduction from her bag and handed it to Director Yang: "Hello, Director Yang, my surname is Liu and I am Liu Xinyu. You can call me Xiao Liu or Liu Xinyu. This is the letter of introduction to the company."
When Director Yang heard the words Liu Xinyu, his eyes were full of surprise.
This is the German translation introduced to them by Director Wang of the Introduction Department. Can he do it at such a young age?
Liu Xinyu certainly understood what the surprise in Director Yang's eyes meant, and she did not feel uncomfortable because of it. After all, she had been bathed in such suspicious looks too many times.
There is nothing to fear about being suspected. She just needs to use her strength to pay it back. She is afraid that others will not give her a chance to pay her back.
Fortunately, Director Yang gave Liu Xinyu this opportunity. After all, Liu Xinyu was introduced personally by Director Wang, and the department was indeed in urgent need of a German translator.
The German information and instructions cannot be translated into Chinese, and the machine tool that cost a lot of foreign exchange is just a pile of useless scrap metal.
"Welcome, I didn't expect Comrade Liu to be so young! I have to ask you to wait a few minutes. The classmate we arranged to assist you with translation is in class." Director Yang quickly covered up the suspicion in his eyes and welcomed Liu Xinyu.
Chapter completed!
