However, people should not be judged by their appearance. Director Ma did not look down upon Lu Miao. He stood up and walked out of the table, holding a chair for Lu Miao to sit down.

"I can do it myself, and you can sit down too."

Director Ma smiled, waved his hand, and said to Sister Liu:

"Comrade Xiao Liu, could you please go over and bring me two jars of water? I'll have a chat with this little comrade."

"Hey!"

Sister Liu went out to pour water, and Director Ma smiled and asked:

"how old are you?"

"Already twenty-two years old."

"Oh, I really didn't see it!"

Director Ma has a friendly attitude and talks like an elder.

Lu Miao smiled, her attitude could not help but soften, and in the eyes of others, she became more and more well-behaved.

Director Ma saw the book she was holding and stretched out his hand. Lu Miao handed it over knowingly.

"You know English? Who did you learn it from?"

This question is not easy to answer, and a poor answer can easily lead to disaster.

Lu Miao's brain was running rapidly and she smiled and said:
"My father works in a school. I used to go to the school to audit before I went to the countryside to join the team. There were teachers who knew English."

Guoguang Bookstore is a state-owned industry, backed by the state.

The Director Ma in front of me is naturally a member of the state-owned system. To put it bluntly, he is working for the country.

If she wants to take this job, her personal information will be strictly controlled, and all of these will have to be verified and investigated sooner or later.

When going out, Lu Miao is afraid that she will have to show her household registration page when buying books, so she always takes it with her.

Now show them to Director Ma together.

Director Ma nodded after reading it, flipped through the British version of "The Legacy of La Traviata in Paris" and read a random paragraph in the middle, and asked:
"Can you hear the meaning of the paragraph I just read?"

Lu Miao thought for a while and said:

"The mind is small, but he hides his thoughts. The eye is just a small dot, but he can look around the vast world."

Director Ma nodded, and then randomly picked out a few passages from the back part.

After discovering that Lu Miao could accurately translate it into Chinese, he translated the Chinese version of "The Legacy of La Traviata in Paris" and extracted excerpts for Lu Miao to translate into English.

Lu Miao knows several foreign languages, but she hasn't touched these things for a long time, so she was a little hesitant in answering at first.

It wasn’t until the third English translation that the previous rhythm was restored.

Her spoken language was standard and standard, making Director Ma feel like she was talking to foreign guests.

There is no problem with the composition. I have participated in going to the mountains and countryside, and I am still a quasi-college student who has returned from the exam.

He belongs to a type of people who are quite up-and-coming and very promising.

Director Ma attaches great importance to the young girl in front of him.

He hoped to keep Lu Miao, but the test at hand did not stop at "The Legacy of La Traviata in Paris".

Prevention Lu Miao had read these two books before. Even if the probability was very small, Director Ma chose to act cautiously.

Director Ma randomly picked up a few more books from his desk, and then tested Lu Miao several more times.

Realizing that Lu Miao really has a deep foundation, Director Ma couldn't help but appreciate Lu Miao a little more.

Putting the foreign books on the table, Director Ma returned two copies of "The Legacy of La Traviata in Paris" to Lu Miao.

Just then Sister Liu came in to deliver water.

Waiting for Lu Miao to hold the enamel jar, Director Ma blew the tea leaves and took a sip of the tea before warmly introducing the work content and salary:

"The translators currently being recruited are mainly responsible for translating foreign magazines and periodicals."

"Newspapers and magazines are very timely. Generally, they require translation within three days after receiving the manuscript. Journals have more time to read the content."

"The salary is calculated as five yuan for three thousand words, and three yuan for one thousand words for more than three thousand words..." Director Ma took a breath, thought for a moment, and continued:
"However, all translation manuscripts submitted need to be reviewed, so the settlement will not be too fast. There will be about half a month of error tolerance."

Lu Miao listened very carefully and asked questions promptly:

"Can you take this home and make it?"

Director Ma nodded, "You can either leave it at the translation library or take it home. However, some manuscripts that require a confidentiality agreement can only be translated at the translation library."

Lu Miao understood, hugged the two books tightly and asked again:

"Director Ma, um... are there any manuscripts you can translate for me today?"

Director Ma laughed out loud, "Haha", "Yes, yes!"

The turmoil of the past decade or so has resulted in the current shortage of domestic and foreign language talents.

There is a demand from state superiors, and a steady stream of manuscripts are sent to various translation libraries and studios every day.

There are only endless translations of manuscripts, and there is never any shortage of manuscripts for translation.

Director Ma took the information sheet and asked Lu Miao to fill it out.

After Lu Miao Liu recorded her detailed personal information, Director Ma got her a translation model and a foreign language newspaper that had just been delivered yesterday.

Lu Miao took the newspaper and glanced at it front and back, tilted her head and blinked:

"Just one? Is there any more, director?"

Director Ma was stunned for a moment, then laughed "haha" again.

"You're still young, don't be greedy. Take this back and try it first. By the way, the accuracy must be guaranteed."

Lu Miao thought about it too.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it's not good to be too ostentatious.

Putting the newspapers away neatly and putting them into books, Lu Miao asked:

"Should I come in from the bookstore in front next time? Do I need to say any slogans?"

Director Ma shook his head and led her into the courtyard and pointed to the small door at the corner of the courtyard.

"Next time, come from that way. Just go around the alley behind the bookstore."

"There are people in the translation office all day long. It's okay if I'm not here. Those children in the courtyard are all students in the juvenile class, and many of them are in the same grade as you."

"You hand the things over to them when the time comes and explain the situation, and they will handle it."

Lu Miao nodded, "Okay, I'll go back today. Thank you, Director Ma."

Director Ma waved his hand and opened the courtyard door to see her off:

"The country is currently short of talents in this field. Comrade Xiao Lu, you are right to choose this major."

Lu Miao smiled.

She felt the same way.

Although I don't plan to become a pillar of the country, I can still make a small contribution while making money.

It feels good to add half a brick or a tile to the country at this time.

Lu Miao bowed slightly in the alley, then stood out of the alley holding a book and newspaper, and trotted home in a hot mood.

Lu Yuanzheng is the principal and is literate himself.

The study room on the second floor not only contains many books, but also has pens and notebooks ready-made.

Lu Miao flipped through the two books he bought and carefully read the translation model he got back several times before spreading out the English newspaper and writing ink on a thick stack of lined paper.

Not every section of every newspaper needs to be translated.

These social newspapers and periodicals have gone through several rounds of screening.

The parts that need to be translated are marked with numbers or specific symbols such as five-pointed stars.

When Lu Miao translates, he will mark the same symbols on the front of the manuscript paper to avoid confusing information.
