From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 27 I told you I’m expensive

"Ah, so..."

Zhou Lanxin was a little embarrassed when she directly rejected Lin Mo. Now that she heard Lin Mo's plan, she felt embarrassed to refuse again.

It's just that her students are busy with things recently, which makes her a little embarrassed.

Zhou Lanxin frowned, looked around, and suddenly rolled her eyes when she saw the student sitting next to her.

"Hey, Jingjing, aren't you free recently? How about you..."

"No time!"

Xia Jingjing replied angrily.

This hateful guy actually pretended not to know himself!

Lin Mo didn't pay attention before, but when he heard the sound, he looked at the person sitting opposite Zhou Lanxin, who turned out to be Xia Jingjing.

"Hey, Classmate Xia, you are here too."

"Jingjing, do you know each other?"

"do not know."

Xia Jingjing turned her head away.

Zhou Lanxin showed confusion, her eyes lingering on Xia Jingjing and Lin Mo.

"Classmate Lin Mo, let's see. Don't you want to find someone to practice speaking with you? Then find Jingjing. Her English level is very high, no worse than the students in our major."

"she?"

Lin Mo obviously didn't believe it. How high could Xia Jingjing's English proficiency be if she only studied journalism?And she should be an undergraduate. Even if she is better than ordinary undergraduates, so what. What I need is a PhD in English, at least at the graduate level!
"Teacher Zhou, I need some professional guidance, so please see if I can arrange for a PhD student under you. If not, I can arrange for a graduate student..."

Zhou Lanxin rolled her eyes at Lin Mo.

You asked me for help, I arranged it for you, why are you still picky?

"Okay, student Lin Mo, I can assure you that Jingjing is capable enough to guide you, not to mention the academic forum, even the press conference site, she can help you get it done, and that's it. The specifics of the two of you Discuss among yourself, I still have classes, so I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, Zhou Lanxin picked up the lesson plan on the table and stood up.

"Jingjing, I'll leave the matter of classmate Lin Mo to you."

"I do not……"

Xia Jingjing was about to refuse, but the next moment she seemed to think of something and immediately changed her attitude.

"Okay, Teacher Zhou, don't worry, I'll take care of this."

Wait until Zhou Lanxin leaves.

Xia Jingjing crossed her arms, raised her head, and looked at Lin Mo through her nostrils.

Lin Mo glanced at Xia Jingjing speechlessly, turned around and left.

Xia Jingjing originally thought that Lin Mo would come to beg her, so she made a full gesture and was ready to make a move.

Every time she met Lin Mo, she was devastated. She finally had a chance, so how could she not get it back.

But who would have thought that after waiting for a long time, he found Lin Mo walking out.

"Hey, Lin Mo, why are you leaving?"

Xia Jingjing cursed secretly, why don't you always play cards according to the routine?
"Lin Mo, stop!"

Xia Jingjing jogged two steps and stopped in front of Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, what do you mean? Look down on me?"

"No, Classmate Xia is joking. How dare I look down on you, Classmate Xia? It's just that I still have something to do, so please give in."

"Humph!"

Xia Jingjing obviously didn't believe Lin Mo's lies.

"Do you think I can't tutor you? Isn't it just a speech at an academic forum? I'm not afraid to tell you not to talk about academic forums. It's a bigger scene. I don't know how many times I've seen you."

"Or...are you still thinking about what happened last time?"

Xia Jingjing hesitated for a moment. She was a little unsure whether Lin Mo was still right. She was still worried about the last time she forced him to pay back the money. After all, what she did at that time probably hurt Lin Mo's self-esteem, so the following sentence , Xia Jingjing asked cautiously.

"No."

Lin Mo answered decisively, obviously not wanting to get involved with Xia Jingjing about the last incident.

"Have you passed the eighth-level exam?"

"what?"

"I asked you, have you passed the eighth-level exam?"

Xia Jingjing smiled.

"So you just want to find someone with a junior high level?"

Lin Mo nodded. "That's the minimum requirement."

"No."

Xia Jingjing responded decisively.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes. If you don't talk nonsense to me, it's a waste of my time.

Lin Mo raised his feet and left.

"I don't have the eighth-level professional qualification, but I do have the CATTI first-level translation qualification certificate. I don't know if it is enough."

Lin Mo's just-raised foot was put down again.

Although he didn't know much about it, he still knew about CATTI. CATTI's full name is China Accreditation Test for Translators and Interpreters, which translates to the National Translation Professional Qualification Examination.

CATTI is divided into three levels, with level one being the highest.

The application requirements for CATTI are not high, and almost everyone can apply for it, unlike the [-]-level program, which has professional requirements.

Although the application requirements are low, the gold content is very high, because this exam not only tests written tests, but also tests oral English.

Especially level one, if compared horizontally, the level of CATTI level one is higher than that of Zhuanba, and even in terms of comprehensive strength, it is far above Zhuanba.

"How is it? Am I qualified to tutor you now?"

Xia Jingjing looked at Lin Mo with a half-smile.

"Student Xia was joking, I naturally believe in her level."

"Haha, what a lie."

Xia Jingjing curled her lips and didn't believe a word of Lin Mo's words.

"Okay, it's good that you know, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

This time, the master and slave changed positions, and Xia Jingjing took charge.

"and many more!"

As expected, Lin Mo reached out to stop Xia Jingjing.

"Didn't Classmate Xia say that he would help me with oral English?"

"Did I promise you?"

"Just now you promised Teacher Zhou with a pat on your chest."

"Oh? Really? I don't remember."

Lin Mo was speechless. It was said that the only constant thing about women is their fickleness. It was true.

However, Lin Mo also saw that Xia Jingjing was taking revenge on him for looking down on her just now and taking advantage of herself.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes.

"Classmate Xia, let's do this. Starting today, for the next seven days, I will ask Classmate Xia to practice speaking with me every day. For this, I am willing to pay Classmate Xia a reward. What do you think?"

"Huh, please treat me? I'm very expensive."

"Senior, please give me a price."

Lin Mo didn't take it seriously. How could he be so expensive? The fee from station D should be paid in two days, and he will have money by then.

Xia Jingjing made a two sign.

"Two thousand? Two thousand a day?"

Lin Mo didn't think that Xia Jingjing would ask for 7 in [-] days, after all Xia Jingjing just said that she was very expensive.

The price of two thousand a day is [-] for seven days. Although Lin Mo felt that the price was indeed a bit high, he had something to ask for and he could afford the price.

And now time waits for no one. He has to complete the system task within seven days. Time is money, so although the price is a bit high, it is still acceptable. It is considered as exchanging money for time.

Lin Mo gritted his teeth.

"make a deal."

Lin Mo agreed without hesitation.

"What do you mean two thousand a day? Please understand, I'm talking about two thousand an hour!"

"what?"

Lin Mo was shocked, you really dare to ask for it, why don't you grab it.

"The school asked me to translate for academic forums, and that's the price. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Study Finance Office and ask."

Xia Jingjing looked at Lin Mo leisurely.

"I told you I was expensive."
