Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 94
"Oh, Hans. Hello, hello." Dong Qiangqiang replied hastily, "I'm sorry I'm going to practice driving soon, are you okay?"

"Practice driving? Are you learning to drive now?"

"Today is my first day on the road." Dong Qiangqiang said excitedly.

"OK, then I'll make a long story short, do you remember the wild boar you sold me last week?"

"Of course I didn't forget, 500 marks, and you wrote me a receipt."

"You didn't call me yesterday. When I called you again, your phone was turned off."

Dong Qiangqiang then remembered that he fell asleep yesterday because he was looking at the stock market and forgot to check his phone: "I'm sorry, there were a lot of things yesterday, I forgot."

"I asked the owners of several restaurants, and the wild boar finally sold for 1200 marks." When Hans said the price, Dong Qiangqiang thought he had heard it wrong.

"Did you mean... 1200 marks?" Dong Qiangqiang asked in surprise, "Just a wild boar?"

"That's right." Hans said with a hint of smugness in his tone. "The restaurant owner said he had never encountered a drunken wild boar before, so he wasn't sure what to do. But live wild boars are very rare for restaurants. That's why he is willing to pay a high price."

"Really... I didn't expect it." Dong Qiangqiang sighed.

Karina's car stopped steadily in front of Dong Qiangqiang. Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was on the phone, Karina tapped her watch twice with her right index finger, indicating that the time for Dong Qiangqiang's driving lessons had started. Dong Qiangqiang nodded and said yes. Go to the back of the car.

"The price we agreed on before was 500 marks, and now we sell it for 1200 marks, which should be given to you in principle, but I have also done a lot of work in this process, so theoretically I should also share some." Hans He said solemnly, "According to the amount of my labor, I think this 1200 marks should give me 400 marks, and the remaining 800 marks are yours."

Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect Hans to say this, he could completely swallow the money without letting Dong Qiangqiang know, but he didn't do it, but told Dong Qiangqiang honestly.

Dong Qiangqiang thought for two seconds, then refused: "I don't agree with your distribution plan. I think it should..."

"Why?" Hans interrupted Dong Qiangqiang angrily. He had thought that Dong Qiangqiang would happily accept his suggestion, "Do you think my job is not worth so much money? If it wasn't for me, you might have He was taken away by the police." His tone became stern.

After listening to him patiently, Dong Qiangqiang said calmly, "No, I think your work is very important, so I think we should share the money equally."

"Equally divided?" This time it was Hans' turn to be dumbfounded. He didn't expect Dong Qiangqiang's "disagree" to mean this. "So you mean... half of us? 600 marks?"

"Yes, I think this is reasonable." Dong Qiangqiang said calmly.

Although Dong Qiangqiang also needs money, one of the advantages of his life is that he is willing to share the fruits of victory with people he thinks are worthy, rather than choosing his own exclusive interests.

"Well, since you said so, let's do as you said." Hans immediately got off the donkey, and his tone was happy, "But I want to tell you in advance that the 1200 marks are for tax payment. Yes, not so much after tax."

"I'm willing to pay the tax." Dong Qiangqiang said honestly, "But I haven't done it at all, so I don't know how to pay it?"

"I will tell you about the tax payment when I understand it. But now I have something urgent to ask you. Are you willing to catch pigs?"

"Catch a pig? What is that?" Dong Qiangqiang was at a loss, his first reaction was that the other party was talking about the "hog pig" game in poker, "Did you mean playing poker?"

"Playing cards? What's the mess?" Hans was confused by what Dong Qiangqiang said, and said quickly, "It's not clear on the phone. Do you have time this afternoon?"

Karina tapped her finger on the car window impatiently, then pointed at her watch, indicating that a long time had passed.Dong Qiangqiang bowed at her apologetically, saying that his phone call was over soon.

"Have."

"Do you know the KFC across from Media Markt, an electrical supermarket?"

"know."

"Then we'll see you at the gate of KFC at 14 o'clock in the afternoon." Hans added before hanging up the phone, "Don't forget to bring the receipt I wrote to you."

As soon as Dong Yiqing entered the door, she immediately saw the blue and white LOGO hanging on the wall in front of her. Under the LOGO, the company name was written in Chinese: German Meite Bear Whale International Trading Co., Ltd., and a row of German was written under the Chinese.

Dong Yiqing was still observing. The German girl at the front desk walked towards her with a smile and asked in German, "Hello. How can I help you?"

"Hello." Dong Yiqing replied without hesitation in German, "I'm here to interview for the position of translator at the exhibition."

"Please come here with me." The girl at the front desk led Dong Yiqing to a small conference room and gave her a form and a test paper, "You have a total of 30 minutes to answer questions, and it's my time. I'll come and call you." The girl at the front desk walked out of the room.

Dong Yiqing quickly took out a pen and paper from her bag, filled out the form in three or two strokes, and immediately threw herself into answering the written test.

The content of the written test is not small, and individual questions also need to be illustrated.But as the saying goes, if you are ready to sharpen your gun, you will be happy if you are unhappy.Dong Yiqing had just reviewed a lot of content on the toilet, and she still had an impression in her mind. She wrote it while thinking about it. After doing it, she completed the written test in about 22 minutes.

Sitting in the conference room, she looked out carefully, and saw that the office area was filled with small cubicles, some of which were Chinese, and some were Germans, who seemed to be international oriented company.

Just as she was observing, a door more than ten meters away in front of the conference room suddenly opened, and a Chinese girl with a big wavy frown walked out quickly from the inside.

The girl didn't look very good. Dong Yiqing was looking at her when she suddenly saw a familiar figure emerge from the door, it was Zhang Shuo.

He caught up with the girl in three steps and two steps. He tried to grab the girl's arm but was thrown away by the girl. He tried again before pulling the girl.He seemed to be explaining something. The girl cried and left after saying a few words to him with red eyes. Zhang Shuo stood there and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing Zhang Shuo walking towards the conference room, Dong Yiqing hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to read the test paper.Zhang Shuo didn't knock on the door and walked straight into the conference room.

"How is it?" He glanced at the test paper on the table, "Is it difficult?"

"Yeah." Dong Yiqing replied, still lowering her head to check the test paper.

"It's up to you this time." Zhang Shuo looked nervous, "All the people I was looking for were eliminated except you." Before Dong Yiqing asked him, he explained to himself, "I was eliminated yesterday, this is me just now. I guess it's gone."

Dong Yiqing was quite confident, but when he said it, he became uneasy.

Seeing that Dong Yiqing was ignoring him, Zhang Shuo thought she was still working on the test paper, so he waved his hand quickly and said solemnly: "Don't bother you, just do it well. Someone will call you later. Remember not to be nervous during the interview. , don't say 'I don't know' or 'I don't understand'. The point is the man and woman sitting in the middle, my uncle and aunt. Good luck."

Dong Yiqing saw that the door in the distance suddenly opened again, and Zhang Shuofei also ran out of the conference room.

The girl at the front desk really collected the papers in 30 minutes.Dong Yiqing waited for more than 10 minutes before being led into the interview room.

After Dong Qiangqiang answered the phone and got into the car, Karina had already changed to the co-pilot position.

She looked at Dong Qiangqiang with a serious expression, and said in a stern tone: "Mr. Dong Qiangqiang, I need to explain to you: your appointment time for driving is from 9:10 to 9:9. If we have an appointment to start training at 45:[-], then It must start at [-]. If your actual driving time is less than [-] minutes, which is less than one lesson hour, because of your phone call or other reasons, then we can't count you as completing one lesson hour of practice, you still need to continue to pay Money to study until you have enough time for one class hour. I hope you will remember my words."

Dong Qiangqiang said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ms. Karina. I remember what you said, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

Karina stared at Dong Qiangqiang's eyes and said earnestly, "I hope you can take learning to drive seriously." She turned her attention to the dashboard: "Now you think about what we talked about in the first lesson, and then can begin."

Dong Qiangqiang has not touched the car for several months, and his hands are a little raw.He closed the door, fastened his seat belt, checked the dashboard of the car, then started the car, turned on the left turn signal, turned his head to see if there was an approaching car on the left, and was about to put down the handbrake and then hit the clutch, Karina Suddenly he shouted, "Stop."

Dong Qiangqiang was heartbroken by her shouting, and asked nervously, "Did I do something wrong?"

"You put out the fire first." Karina didn't answer his question, "Think about it again."

Dong Qiangqiang thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember what he had forgotten. He had the impression that he learned this way in China, and there didn't seem to be anything special in what Karina taught in class that day.

Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's blank face, Karina said with a serious expression, "You forgot to check whether the co-pilot is wearing a seat belt."

Dong Qiangqiang looked down and saw that Karina really didn't care.

He had to say honestly: "Please fasten your seat belt, I'm about to start."

Karina obediently fastened her seat belt, and Dong Qiangqiang repeated the action just now, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the little red car stably drove into the main road.

The room is about 50 square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows on one side and walls on three sides.A large white square table is placed in the center of the room.

The golden morning light shone straight into the room through the window, on the table, on the floor, and reflected on the off-white ceiling.The room was bright, and the dazzling light was even a little dazzling. Dong Yiqing couldn't see the situation opposite him for a while.

After a few seconds, she saw five examiners, two men and three women, sitting side by side behind the square table in front of her.

Sitting directly opposite her was a middle-aged woman with short gray hair, making it impossible to judge her age for a while.Her hairline was slightly set back, making her forehead a little high.The eyebrows are short and light, and the bridge of the nose with light brown spots is wearing a pair of light brown glasses, and the eyes do not seem to be very large.There is very little meat on both sides of the cheeks, which makes the cheekbones a little high. The two nasolabial folds extend down from the sides of the nose to near the thin lips, and the corners of the mouth are slightly downward.

Dong Yiqing had a bad first impression of her.

The middle-aged woman put down Dong Yiqing's resume in her hand, turned her head and glanced at a man in his 30s sitting at the square table, the man immediately said to Dong Yiqing in Chinese: "Welcome to today's interview. First of all Please give a 5-minute self-introduction in English. You can start now."

Dong Yiqing had expected that the other party might ask her to speak English, and she was about to start introducing herself.A middle-aged man sitting next to the middle-aged woman suddenly said: "Since we are doing business with Germans, we should first check the German level of the candidates. What is the answer to English? What? Do the Germans speak English? Xiao Wu, let her introduce herself in German."

The man in his 30s known as "Xiao Wu" had an embarrassed expression on his face, and before he could speak, he heard a sneer from the middle-aged woman: "We are participating in a global exhibition, and there are guests from any country, Guang said. Can you sell products in German? If you can't sell products, what do you get paid so much for? In English."

"I speak German." The middle-aged man became annoyed and shouted in a voice close to a roar, "It must be in German!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very strange, and no one spoke anymore.

Dong Yiqing stood alone opposite them, feeling like a lonely boat in the sea.
