Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 103
In the dimly lit room, the curtains hung high.Yu Jianghai had just worked the night shift last night and was sleeping in bed.

Suddenly the phone rang, and he was woken up angrily covering his head with a quilt, but the caller was very resilient and refused to stop calling.Yu Jianghai had no choice but to put the phone to his ear, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "How are you?"

"The person you introduced last time is not good," the Eastern European man's German came out on the phone, "the efficiency is too low. The Germans have complained to me twice, and they can't be used tonight. You can find some more quickly to give Me, right now."

"I have introduced you to 10 people before and after, and every time you said that the Germans complained about them." Yu Jianghai frowned and sat up, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the bedside table, and nodded depressedly, " Then when will you be able to sign the position of bank cleaner that you promised me? Last time you said that it would be available this week, how come there is no movement at all?"

There were two sneers on the phone, followed by a "click", followed by a series of beeps.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Yu Jianghai opened the curtains with a heavy heart. The sunlight outside the window was just right, and it filled the whole room at once.

As soon as they got to work, all the people related to the exhibition work were notified to listen to the leader's speech in the conference room.

Dong Yiqing arrived earlier, and the cat was in an inconspicuous corner.She lacked sleep for the past two days, and her eyelids started to fight under the bright light of the conference room.Although it was past nine o'clock, the leader hadn't come yet.She leaned her body lightly against the pillar of the wall next to her, planning to sleep for a while before the official start.

After an unknown amount of time, someone touched her arm, and before she could react, sparse applause rang out in her ears.Dong Yiqing cheered up, and clapped vigorously while rubbing her sleepy eyes.

The first person to speak on the stage was a middle-aged German. Listening to his speech, Dong Yiqing felt that he seemed to be a shareholder of the company.She was about to write down what she thought was important in a notepad, when she suddenly found that she couldn't write with her pen.She anxiously drew two strokes on the blank page of the book, but only two deep pen marks were left on the blank page.

She couldn't help being a little annoyed, she must have written too much last night and ran out of pen water.

She whispered to the girl next to her who was focused on the front: "Excuse me, do you have any extra pens? My pen is out of water."

Hearing the request, the girl didn't speak, turned around and directly took out a signature pen from the satchel on the other side and handed it to Dong Yiqing.Dong Yiqing took the pen and thanked her in a low voice, the girl turned her head, looked at Dong Yiqing's face with a smile and whispered, "You're welcome."

Dong Yiqing froze for a moment, the person sitting next to her was actually Che Lizi.She looked around Che Lizi suspiciously, but did not find Zhang Shuo.

"Why are you sitting here?" Dong Yiqing asked in a low voice.

"Why can't I sit here?" Che Lizi turned her head, looked ahead, and asked.

Today, Che Lizi changed her outfit, and she looked very capable and professional in a small black suit.

"Shouldn't you sit next to the leader?" Dong Yiqing asked while writing.

"You mean Zhang Yingfei?" Che Lizi chuckled.

Before Dong Yiqing could speak, there was another round of applause, the German walked off the stage slowly, and Zhang Yingfang stepped onto the stage in a red dress.

Dong Yiqing quickly shut up and listened carefully to Zhang Yingfang's speech.

To her surprise, Zhang Yingfang's unscripted speech was very short, and the whole speech did not exceed 5 minutes.She didn't shout any slogans, nor did she paint any beautiful visions.She talked about why the company participated in the exhibition, what effect she hoped to achieve through the exhibition, and what expectations and requirements she had for each position set up at the exhibition in order to achieve the effect.

She spoke in English throughout.Although she still had a southern accent in her pronunciation, the conviction on Zhang Yingfang's face made Dong Yiqing suddenly feel awe-inspiring.

"Finally, I hope that each of you will be down-to-earth and earnestly do everything in your hands. That's all I want to say. Thank you all." Zhang Yingfang bowed slightly and strode off the podium.

Dong Yiqing applauded while pondering what Zhang Yingfang said just now.

Next came Zhang Yingfei.Compared with his sister, his eloquence was immediately inferior.He clumsily spoke a lot of scenes according to the script, and the mantras such as "um, ah, that's..." that popped up from time to time in the speech seemed extremely long-winded.Dong Yiqing sighed and shook his head.

"So would you stay with this kind of person instead?" Che Lizi asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Dong Yiqing was caught off guard by this question.

"I definitely won't," Che Lizi's gaze and tone were firm, "I will definitely stand beside Zhang Yingfang."

Dong Yiqing was shocked to find that she and Che Lizi had the same thoughts.

"Next, please ask all the translators to go to meeting room No. 3, the sales staff stay where they are, and the consultants go..." Zhang Yingfei on the podium held a piece of paper and read aloud.

Che Lizi stood up, took her bag and went out.

"Hey, return the pen to you." Dong Yiqing hurriedly shouted behind her.

"I'll see you off." Che Lizi tossed her hair, walked forward without looking back, and the high heels under her feet made a rapid clicking sound.

The size of the meeting room No. 3 is not large, it seems to be more than 20 square meters.

Dong Yiqing counted, including her, there were a total of 6 translators, all of whom were girls.

The trainer was a middle-aged woman in her 50s, with neat short hair and a light gray suit. She spoke briefly and quickly.

"Hi everyone, I'm today's lecturer Angela Du, you can call me Angela directly." She quickly looked around the room with her eyes, "I'm very happy that everyone seems to be full of vigor. Maybe everyone here Some of my classmates have worked as an exhibition interpreter before, and some have not. First, let me briefly introduce the requirements for the position of exhibition interpreter. Some students may think that my language is very good, and I have passed the relevant German or English exams. It’s okay to take exams or read and write papers in a foreign language to communicate with others, but this is actually a misunderstanding of the exhibition translation work. Good language is only the most basic requirement of this job, and there are many other requirements on this basis.”

Everyone listened carefully to her speech, and when she paused, the room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop on the ground.

"Generally speaking, exhibition translation requires not only good language, but also proper etiquette and familiarity with the company's main products or all products. Since we only have one day today, the training content this morning is mainly about the etiquette norms for dealing with people. and marketing speech skills. This afternoon, we will conduct key training on the company's products. Let me make a request first. When I am explaining, no one should interrupt me or raise their hands. After I finish speaking, I will tell you Time for questions."

Angela talked incessantly, and the prospective translators listened and memorized. The only sound in the room was her voice and the rustling of writing.

After the two-hour theoretical class, Dong Qiangqiang and Karina made an appointment to practice driving on Friday afternoon from 17:18 to [-]:[-], preparing to continue to enrich their road driving experience.

*
Angela glanced at her watch: "This morning's training is here first, and I have a few minutes to share some tips with you. I saw that all the girls came here wearing high heels today, but they actually stood in the booth for a day in high heels. It is very tiring. This tiredness will not only increase your fatigue, but also reduce your work efficiency. So I suggest that you wear a pair of shoes that are not very high, or bring a pair of flat shoes, so that you can relax during your lunch break. Make your feet comfortable. Also, you must drink water when you have time, and don’t worry about going to the toilet. There are many toilets on both sides of the exhibition hall. In addition, you must not look at your mobile phone while working..."

After the training, Dong Yiqing packed up his things and asked Angela a few more questions before he was the last one to leave the meeting room.As she was walking towards the work station, she looked around, and inadvertently saw Zhang Shuo standing at the door of the company with Che Lizi's satchel.

"Yo, Mr. Zhang has changed his style." Dong Yiqing walked up to Zhang Shuo, glanced at the bag in Zhang Shuo's hand, "You are willing to do such a friendly thing as helping a lady carry a bag?"

Zhang Shuo let her say that his face changed a little, and he argued: "What's wrong with helping the girl get the bag?"

"Hey, is this Che Lizi the one sent by your second uncle..." Dong Yiqing quickly drew a quotation mark with two fingers on each side of her head, and at the same time emphasized her tone, "Translate."

Zhang Shuo quickly looked around, and stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense, she is not."

"Oh, I see." Dong Yiqing nodded pretending to understand, then changed the subject, "Then she is the 'family member' you mentioned before, right?"

There was a burst of red and white on Zhang Shuo's face, and he denied it flatly: "Dong Yiqing, if you talk nonsense, be careful that you won't be able to get away with it."

Dong Yiqing chuckled, turned around and walked towards the work station.

At 12:30 noon on Thursday, Dong Qiangqiang and the other three came to a cafe outside the main building of the university.After a while, two Germans, a man and a woman, came in from the outside and walked straight towards the three of them.

Tong Lele stood up first, stretched out her hand and said, "Mike, hello."

The German named Mike had a gentle face and looked very quiet. He smiled slightly: "Hello, Tong. Let me introduce, this is my girlfriend Anna. I told her what you asked, and then Let her tell you. I will leave soon after I have class. "

The two shook hands and said goodbye, and Mike turned and left the cafe.

Looking at Mike's back, Lei Lanting asked Tong Lele strangely: "Why did he leave?"

Anna has long light brown hair and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. After she sat down, she said directly to Tong Lele: "Tell me the whole process of your matter in detail. The amount of money is needless to say."

Tong Lele briefly recounted it again, and Dong Qiangqiang added some unclear points.

After listening to her retelling, Anna thought for a while and said, "Your matter sounds strange."

"What's strange?" The three said in unison.

Anna paused: "Unless Mueller can provide obvious evidence that you forced him to sign the agreement, under normal circumstances the police should not file a case."

"But he seemed to tell the police that we beat him." Tong Lele recalled.

"If you beat the police, you can check it out. If you beat us, can the police let us out that day? I feel that the police don't really believe what he said." Dong Qiangqiang analyzed.

"No, you don't understand the procedures." Anna adjusted her glasses, "If Mueller really wants to sue you, no matter how the police deal with you, he should go to court to sue you. But now you are being sued Yet?"

The three looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Why are you suing us?" Tong Lele asked.

Lei Lanting scolded dissatisfiedly in Chinese, "This devil really has no conscience. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have helped him find it."

"Didn't he say that you coerced him into signing the money-sharing agreement? Then he should go to the court to sue you, and at the same time be responsible for proving to the court how you coerced him. If he can't provide evidence, the prosecution is invalid. If he can provide evidence, the court will send People check the authenticity of the evidence."

"Then what does he mean by not suing us?" Lei Lanting asked suspiciously.

"I don't know." Anna shrugged, "but I guess your disagreement with Mueller about the money wasn't the reason the police withheld it."

"You mean it might have something to do with the fire that day?" Dong Qiangqiang guessed.

"So we can only stay in this stalemate now?" Lei Lanting looked up to the sky and sighed, "Then when can we get our money back? A lot of money! Ah!"

Anna suggested: "I think you should ask the police why your money is withheld. If it is related to Mueller, there should be a chance to get it back."

"Then what if it has nothing to do with Mueller? What if he goes to court to sue us? What if the court investigation takes a long time?" Lei Lanting looked sad.

"If he really goes to court to sue you, there is actually another way, which may allow you to get money, but you may have to make some sacrifices and concessions."

"What method?" The three people's eyes lit up at the same time.
