Chapter 100 Who Do You Say Can't?
Director Zhang pulled Chen Chufan into the office building and headed straight to the conference room. Chen Zhenquan thought about it, but he was still worried that his son had such a big deal, so he followed the two of them. Originally, Chen Zhenquan, an ordinary worker, was not qualified to interfere in this matter, but who made him have a good son who knows German? So Director Zhang didn't say much about Chen Zhenquan's own actions to follow the two of them.
At the door of the conference room, a man in his thirties and dressed in decent clothes was pacing back and forth anxiously. Seeing Director Zhang leading a young man appearing in the corridor, he hurriedly met him: "Old Zhang, is this the professional translator you are looking for?"
"Secretary Wang, you can't find anyone in contact with the government. Where can I find a professional German translator at this time? This child is the son of an old employee in our factory. Look, he is the son of Chen Zhenquan. He is also a college student. He knows some German. Isn't this asking him to respond to the emergency?" Director Zhang pointed to Chen Zhenquan who followed him and explained.
Secretary Wang looked suspiciously at Chen Chufan, who was standing behind Director Zhang. Still a student? What are college students? He is still a prestigious university graduate!
"Director Zhang, is this kid good? This time it's a political task, and he is receiving foreign friends. And the leader finally got this opportunity, so don't mess it up!"
Chen Chufan, who was standing aside, was so tired. You said that the factory director was about the same age as his father, so it would be fine to call his own child. The Secretary Wang mentioned by Director Zhang looked only twenty or thirty years old, and he also called his own child. Who is your child? Besides, do I have to ask me if I can? What do you mean by Director Zhang? Why don’t you look down on me?
Especially when Director Zhang introduced himself, he pointed to his father specifically, but Secretary Wang didn't even look at his father at all, which made Chen Chufan even more uncomfortable.
If it were half a year ago, Chen Chufan would not have cared about these details. But it is different now. Xiao Chen really can't stand someone in front of his family like this.
So before Director Zhang could reply, Chen Chufan said goodbye first: "Uncle Zhang, since I am not at ease with me to be a translator, I will leave first."
After saying that, Chen Chufan turned around and pulled his father, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait, wait!" Director Zhang hurriedly called Xiao Chen and his son, and then said to Secretary Wang: "Hey, Secretary Wang, it's now, no matter what, I have to let that young man try it!"
Chen Chufan's words made Secretary Wang feel uncomfortable. Speaking of Secretary Wang's status, he is a full-time secretary of Mayor Liao in City S. Mayor Liao is a top deputy mayor in City S. The main job is to attract industry and investment. So this time, the German company came to the tire factory to invest, so his secretary was welcomed throughout the process.
Although Secretary Wang has always been a humble and generous image in front of Mayor Liao, Secretary Wang is still quite arrogant when facing these corporate bosses who often flatter him. Today, he is suddenly aroused by a student, so he feels unhappy.
"I said Lao Zhang, you are in a hurry to seek medical treatment! Do you think college students are very valuable now? There are many such college students in our municipal government. They are all above the top. They still do some tricks when they go? What's more, they haven't graduated yet! Nowadays, children can recite two German words, so they dare to say that they know German! Do you really dare to believe them?" Secretary Wang said disdainfully.
After hearing this, Chen Chufan really didn't feel anything. The recent adventure has allowed him to come into contact with many people with status, such as Han Xiaoxi's father, Secretary Han, director Chen of the police station, and even the old monk in Guiyuan Temple is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
More people with status have come into contact with, and their horizons have become much higher. And Chen Chufan is still a student after all, and he doesn't understand the laws of the officialdom of Z. So Chen Chufan really didn't treat a little secretary as a dish, so he was too lazy to care about him. At that moment, he just wanted to leave, and it would be fine if he didn't mix with these people's messes.
But what Secretary Wang said made Chen Zhenquan unhappy. What does this young man mean? Why do you look down on his son? Since the implementation of family planning, which employee of the company is not a son or a girl? It can be said that he regards descendants more than himself. To say that his son is not in front of him is not a slap in the face, so Master Chen, who has always been honest, is not happy.
So Master Chen broke free from his son's hand and turned around and taught a lesson: "How did you say this young man? You know that my son is not good without trying it? You can do it? Why don't you translate if you want it? No wonder the economy is getting worse and worse now, and you are all troubled by the young people you know are talking about!"
Chen Chufan was so happy that he really didn't know that his father, who had never spoken much, had a good idea of teaching others a lesson.
Secretary Wang became even more angry when Chen Zhenquan said this. However, he was so proud of his identity that he was unwilling to argue with an old worker here. Instead, he became angry at Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, what are the qualities of the employees in your factory? Such people are also brought to the office building? I think the tire factory is really degenerate now, no wonder it has been losing money for years!"
Director Zhang didn't expect that he finally found someone who could speak German, but it made both sides unhappy. He was stuck in the middle and became a little annoyed. But on one hand, he invited him on his own initiative, and on the other hand, the secretary of the deputy mayor of the municipal government, was not easy to offend. He was in a dilemma to open his meeting room door, but the door of the conference room was opened.
The Germans are the most important time and efficiency. They arrived at the tire factory on time at 8 o'clock, but the evaluation work that should have been started was delayed because of the sudden illness of the translator.
The Germans could understand this accident, but for more than an hour, the manufacturer had not found a replacement translation, which made them a little annoyed. In addition, when someone quarreled outside the conference room, Paul Veber, the head of the German delegation, walked out directly.
"What are you doing? Is it not enough for more than an hour to find an interpreter? I really regret your work efficiency!" As soon as I went out, Paul Weiber complained to Secretary Wang, who had been in charge of receiving them.
Unfortunately, Paul Weiber's complaint was a waste of saliva. Secretary Wang, who had just taught Director Zhang a lesson, looked at Paul Weiber with a blank expression. He didn't know any German. He could only guess from Mr. Paul Weiber's impatient expression that what the German guy said would probably not be anything to praise him.
Before Secretary Wang could think of how to deal with it, Chen Chufan, a little angry, spoke.
"Hello, sir. The problem I am facing now is not that I cannot find a translation. It is that the young man in front of you is questioning that my German level is not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of translation." The fluent and standard German language directly shocked everyone except Paul Vebert.
Paul Weiber was very happy. After finding a translator, it means that his group of people will be able to work immediately. You should know that the Germans' old-fashioned personality makes them pay great attention to time and efficiency. However, the young man's words made him a little confused. Such a good German level is not competent for the translator. The Chinese are so humble.
"Oh my God, you Chinese are so... How should I describe it! If you didn't have an oriental appearance, I would have suspected that you were my compatriots. Let's get to know me. My name is Paul Weiber, who is the person in charge of this inspection. I hope we can have a happy cooperation!" Paul Weiber no longer paid attention to Secretary Wang and Director Zhang who were standing aside and staring at the stunned side, and walked directly to Chen Chufan and shook hands with Chen Chufan.
Although no one present understands German, the conversation between the two is more like two birds talking nonsense, no one is a fool. From Chen Chufan's fluent speaking and the happy performance of the Germans, they all learned a fact that Xiao Chen's German level is extremely high. As for how high it is, they can't evaluate it, but at least it is more than enough to be a translator.
This fact made Secretary Wang very reluctant to come to Taiwan. One minute ago, he was sarcastic about others knowing two words, so he dared to claim to be able to speak German. But in the next minute, the person could have fluent conversations with German friends. This was a slap in the face with facts. The thumping sounded, but he couldn't have had an attack.
Not only can they not have an attack, they also have to find a way to repair their relationship with this young man. Secretary Wang is very clear about this. The German guys in front of him are the gods of wealth that the city attaches great importance to. No matter what the results of their inspection in the tire factory are, they will definitely meet with their leaders in the end. And he doesn't understand German. If that kid says something bad about himself in front of these German guys, then his future will be worrying.
As for a different translation? Damn, if German translation is so easy to find, will it be like this now?
Who is not a versatile person who can become a factory director? While seeing Chen Chufan's German level so high, he was ecstatic, and of course he also thought of Secretary Wang's mood at this moment. Taking advantage of the pause of Chen Chufan's conversation with Paul Weibel, he quickly began to smooth things over.
"Xiao Chen, please help me and Secretary Wang, and you said that this person's inspection work will start soon and ask them to wait in the conference room for a few minutes. I will immediately arrange for the factory technicians to be responsible for the explanation."
In fact, the technicians in charge of the explanation in the factory have already prepared. Director Zhang said this just to buy some time between Chen Chufan and Secretary Wang and mediate.
