Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 95 95. Contradiction
Although there are disputes among the examiners, it is not a problem for the interviewer to always stand silently.

Dong Yiqing thought about it, if she answered in a foreign language now, she would definitely offend another examiner on the spot.Simply say it in English and German, so that both sides are taken care of even if they are not satisfied.She finally decided to speak English first and then German again in the order the examiner asked.

"Hello everyone, my name is Dong Yiqing. I'm from HZ City, Zhejiang Province, China. I spent my middle school and college years in the beautiful Hangzhou..." Dong Yiqing introduced herself fluently in English.She didn't dare to look at the middle-aged man, but looked at the middle-aged woman and the examiner on the other side of her.

When she was about to finish speaking English, she dared to look at the middle-aged man, but found that the middle-aged man looked down at the table in dissatisfaction, his face a little ugly.She was nervous for a while, but she had no choice but to bow to the examiners immediately after speaking English.When she raised her head again, her mouth had begun to introduce herself in German.

When she was speaking German, she suddenly noticed that the middle-aged man was not looking at her, but looked at the middle-aged woman's side face contentedly. Instead, the middle-aged woman listened to her German carefully, and did not hit her. cut her off.

After speaking the self-introduction in two languages ​​in one breath, Dong Yiqing seemed to be more nervous than before.She looked at the man and woman opposite at a loss, not knowing who to face next.

Although Dong Qiangqiang is quite proficient in German, he is still a foreigner after all.Karina sat in the co-pilot's seat. Although she didn't speak much, she spoke at a significantly faster rate than when she was lecturing.Sometimes a command pops up suddenly, and when Dong Qiangqiang reacts, the car has already missed the intersection.

Hannover is not big, the whole city is only more than 200 square kilometers, less than half of the area of ​​Haidian District in BJ City. The population is around 48 all the year round. The road is very wide, and there are not many cars on the road. There is no traffic jam, and it is very comfortable to drive. .

The only thing that makes Dong Qiangqiang unaccustomed is that there are many zebra crossings on the streets, and there are no traffic lights on both sides of these zebra crossings.According to the requirements of German traffic regulations, if someone on both sides of the zebra crossing is ready to cross the road, the driver must stop in front of the zebra crossing and wait patiently for pedestrians to pass before continuing to drive. Sometimes there will be some disabled people on the sidewalk.

What drives Dong Qiangqiang most crazy are those who ride bicycles in the middle of the road.Although there is a specially marked bicycle lane next to the road, many Germans who love sports happen to ride on the road.When Dong Qiangqiang wanted to overtake a bicycle several times, he was sternly reminded by Karina, who was sitting beside him: when a car overtakes a bicycle, the distance between the two cars must be more than 1.5 meters, otherwise overtaking is not allowed, and the horn is not allowed to urge the cyclist. so as not to frighten the cyclist.

After a corner, Dong Qiangqiang's car was forced to follow the bicycle of a burly German aunt.Seeing that the aunt was pedaling hard on the bicycle but the bicycle could only move forward slowly, Dong Qiangqiang reluctantly reduced the speed of the car, but the car turned off accidentally, and was taught by Karina for a long time.

The middle-aged woman picked up her resume and was about to speak when the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Tell me about your experience in Germany in German."

I have already introduced my study and internship in Germany just now, why do I have to say it again?Dong Yiqing was very puzzled.She glanced at the middle-aged woman, but there was no expression on the middle-aged woman's face. She paused and said aloud in German: "I am currently studying mathematics at the University of Hanover, and it is the fifth semester. I have done some In addition to interpreting, I have also translated some books and picture albums in the translation work of the exhibition.”

The middle-aged man picked up a resume on the table, pointed to the resume and asked, "Is this Hannover University a key university in Germany? What is the world ranking? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"That's right, the education system in Germany is different from those in the United Kingdom and the United States. They don't have so-called elite universities and have never participated in rankings, but each university has its own unique history and outstanding disciplines. For example, the University of Hannover, its The Department of Mathematics, the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry and other natural disciplines have strong teaching and scientific research strength. In history, they have won internationally renowned scientific awards such as the Nobel Prize and the Leibniz Prize, and have high evaluations in European universities. ." Dong Yiqing said while looking at the middle-aged man with his eyes fixed on his resume, wondering if the other party was listening to his answer.

"You said just now that you have done translation work for exhibitions. What type of exhibitions? What kind of translation work?" The middle-aged woman suddenly asked, but she did not specify what language Dong Yiqing would use to answer.

Dong Yiqing replied in English almost without hesitation: "I do exhibition translation for domestic electronic technology manufacturers participating in CEBIT Hannover during the holidays every year. Most of the work is mainly interpreting, but there is also a small part of translation work. I also used my spare time to participate in the Chinese translation of my professional teacher's German mathematics works, as well as the translation of other books and picture albums. So I have more experience in translation work."

The middle-aged woman nodded and wrote something on Dong Yiqing's resume with a blank face.

The middle-aged man patiently listened to the middle-aged woman and the other examiners asking Dong Yiqing a few more questions. Taking advantage of the middle-aged woman's writing time, he suddenly tapped his resume with his fingers in a contemptuous tone. Said: "I saw the university you studied in China, but in my impression, this school is not 211 and 985, right?"

"Although my alma mater is not 211 and 985, it is still a very good university." Dong Yiqing replied in German, "It taught me a lot of important knowledge, which helped me have the opportunity to come to Germany. To continue my studies, so I am very grateful to my alma mater."

It is not the first time that Dong Yiqing has been criticized for her first degree by her employer, but she has neither shown loss nor embarrassment, but has shown a calmness and calmness.

She knew very well in her heart that what happened was what happened, and no amount of concealment could change it.

"Your alma mater is too ordinary for us..." The middle-aged man threw his resume on the table, "I tell you, the students who came to interview with a big company like ours before came from 211 and 985 academies in China. Graduated from school, like you..." He didn't finish his sentence, but there was a look of contempt between his eyebrows.

Dong Yiqing looked into his eyes and said calmly, "Although my alma mater is not 211 or 985, it only represents the past. Now I am still learning and pursuing progress."

"Xiao Wu, you can watch the next one." The middle-aged man pouted, picked up the thermos cup with tea in front of him, and took a sip.

"I haven't finished asking yet." The middle-aged woman said while glancing at the middle-aged man, "If Mr. Zhang Yingfei is tired, he can go to the next conference room to rest. When you don't understand."

The middle-aged man Zhang Yingfei seemed to have been plucked by a rooster, his face flushed red, and he slapped the table with his hand: "Zhang Yingfang!" to the floor.

He jumped up from the chair, stared down at Zhang Yingfang, a middle-aged woman who was sitting calmly beside him, with red eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "Don't take an inch."

The atmosphere at the scene became tense again.

Time passed quickly, Dong Qiangqiang parked the car on the side of the road, took off the gear, pulled the handbrake, turned off the engine, pulled out the key, and unfastened the seat belt.A set of movements is completed smoothly, skillfully and smoothly.

Karina sat in her seat and thought for a while before slowly saying, "Mr. Dong Qiangqiang, after an hour of practice this morning, I found that you have many bad driving habits. I strongly recommend that you go back and get more Take some time to read the instructions on the driver's manual carefully, I think it will be very helpful to you. We should not only pay attention to our own safety, but also consider the safety of others, which is a responsible attitude. "

Dong Qiangqiang knew that Karina was talking about a few mistakes he made in the morning. He blushed and said humbly: "Thank you, Karina, I will accept your suggestion. In addition, I want to ask, besides the driving school, where else is it? Will a novice like me be allowed to practice driving?"

Karina thought about it again: "There seems to be a training ground in the suburbs, and the price may be cheaper than us, it seems to be about 25 marks an hour, you can familiarize yourself with the road signs and road conditions there, but the level of the teachers there is not good. I don't know."

To Dong Yiqing's surprise, Zhang Yingfang sat on the chair without moving, and didn't even look at Zhang Yingfei, who was beside her, who was beside her.

She turned to look at the other examiners beside her: "Then let's start asking business questions now."

The rest of the examiners were ordered and immediately asked questions related to the company's business.Although Dong Yiqing did not answer all questions, she also explained everything she had learned in the past few days. Although there were no special highlights in her overall performance, she could still be regarded as a decent and fluent expression.

While Dong Yiqing was answering the question, Zhang Yingfei sat down angrily when she saw that no one was paying attention to her.

Just when the question of the wheel came to an end, Zhang Yingfang, who had been paying attention to Dong Yiqing but did not ask any questions, suddenly said in English: "Please simulate the following scenario: when you are facing an international customer who comes to consult but has an unfriendly attitude, you should How to do it?" She glanced at the young man in his 30s, "Xiao Wu, you come to be that client."

Xiao Wu stood up from his seat, walked to Dong Yiqing's side, nodded at her, and signaled the simulation to start.

Suddenly, he asked in a foreign language that Dong Yiqing couldn't understand: "Hello, I have a question about your company's products. Can you help me answer it now?"

Dong Yiqing didn't understand what he was saying at all. She asked in English cautiously and softly, "Sir, may I help you?"

Seeing her in English, Xiao Wu immediately changed to English: "We are a Spanish company, we are very interested in your A stone and its supporting building materials. But your company seems to provide another B stone at the same time. And its supporting building materials. Can you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of these two products? They seem to be about the same price, I really can't choose."

Dong Yiqing immediately reacted, Xiao Wu asked the last question in the written test paper just now.But the knowledge points of the two stones that need to be compared in this question are on different material pages. The material page of the A stone is in her hands, and the material page of the B stone has been lost with the suitcase. The question of my own memory.

But now if she is still relying on Meng to answer, the interview may be screwed up by her.

She was thinking nervously about how to answer, her palms getting soaked with sweat.
