Chapter 431 Newspaper Work
"I use it as a translator. It used to be a long way there, but people heard that I came here to study, so they recommended a nearby place."

"This……"

Tang Mei also understood.

This letter of recommendation is a favor.

If it is lost or damaged, they can only blame them for confiscating it themselves, and there is no possibility of asking anyone to get it again.

Things made Lu Miao a little annoyed.

But the letter is gone, and there is no use venting my emotions in front of people close to me.

It will only hurt people and their feelings.

Lu Miao covered her face with her hands and took several deep breaths. She wiped away her tears and tried to calm down the red tip of her nose:
"Forget it, it's nothing. Auntie, just go and do your work."

"Your dad also knows some people. How about asking your dad about this? See if he can help?"

Tang Mei was worried.

"Relationships must be used wisely. What does it mean to have real connections?"

Lu Miao shook her head stubbornly.

"Let's take it one step at a time. If there is really any difficulty, I will talk to dad."

Letters of recommendation are a shortcut.

Talent is scarce right now. If she is willing to put in some effort, she can still find a job that meets her expectations without any shortcuts.

Lu Miao looked firm and made up her mind.

Tang Mei was still a little worried when she saw her regaining her composure.

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, still very early.

Lu Miao made up her mind to go out for a walk.

When people are in a bad mood, they seem to be prone to bad luck.

Just after counting the money and getting ready to get off the bed, Lu Miao felt his stomach bloated. Not feeling well, he went to the toilet and found that his period had come early.

She was in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up, so she changed into clean clothes, soaked the dirty clothes in a small basin and put them behind the door of the room, planning to wash them when she came back later.

There is a Guoguang Bookstore in the department store next to Junbei University.

Lu Miao went there directly.

The state does release some relevant recruitment information through bookstores, but not every bookstore does this.

There is no Guoguang Bookstore on the West Second Ring Road.

However, when settling the bill with the book, Lu Miao still found some useful information.

A few stops east by bus, there is a newspaper and publishing house that needs translators.

There is also a place called "National Public Service Company" that is also recruiting relevant talents.

This place sounded unfamiliar, so Lu Miao asked a few questions and learned about the National Official Document English Society, or Guoying Society for short.

There is also a common name called the National News Agency.

Responsible for serving as the country’s mouthpiece, eyes and ears, think tank and information hub, it is not an ordinary public institution.

It is not easy to get into this kind of unit in this era.

A college student from a prestigious school is something of a standard, but she is still in her freshman year, and people probably wouldn't have hired her in the past.

Lu Miao had a strong idea in her heart.

After thinking about it, I passed Guoyingshe directly.

After thanking his comrades in the bookstore, Lu Miao bought a ticket and got on the bus to the newspaper office and publishing house.

At this stage, there is a big gap in English translation, so it is quite advantageous to engage in it.

Lu Miao went to Sitong Newspaper Agency first.

The comrade at the reception heard her asking about translation-related work and directly called her boss, the president.

The newspaper president Liu Shouyi brought several people over.

"Just her? Can you translate English?"

Some people saw that Lu Miao was young and a little girl. They immediately shook their heads and sneered:

"Little comrade, have you come to the wrong place? Do you know where this place is? Do you know what the English translation means?"

Lu Miao frowned slightly.

Someone pulled the person just now and said disapprovingly:
"Lao Zhou, please keep it tight...just in case!"

"Even if we are short of people, we can't waste time like this! I still have a lot of work there." The middle-aged man named Lao Zhou shook his head, snorted and left.

Lu Miao took a deep breath.

No one will be happy if they are looked down upon.

But I don’t know what the situation is with the other publishing house.

If there was a vacancy here, she wanted to try to leave an escape route.

The other people were a little embarrassed. You looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to say.

Lu Miao shook her head gently, "It doesn't matter."

He turned around and looked at the middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit. He looked like he had the highest position and said:
"I have worked as a translator at Chongwen Translation Center before, and I don't have anything to prove at the moment... But it doesn't matter, you can test me on anything."

Probably at this stage, talent was really scarce to the extreme, so Liu Shouyi did not look down upon the girl in front of him.

He casually pulled out a stack of newspapers from the table next to him, shook them out and looked at them. Liu Shouyi marked a place and handed them to Lu Miao.

Lu Miao took the newspaper and took a look.

It is the literal propaganda of the Communist Youth League.

Translating from English to Chinese requires a strong foundation in Chinese.

Translating from Chinese to English has higher requirements on English vocabulary.

And you also need to be familiar with the use of various long and short sentence patterns.

Everyone looked at Lu Miao.

Lu Miao silently read the entire slogan, her lips moved slightly with deep concentration, and after a brief summary in her heart, she spoke:

"Some people say, Reconizing me is easy at moments of life and death."

Some people say that it is easy to recognize me before the blood and fire life and death.

“Because I am the one who follows the flag and charges ahead…”

I was the one who followed the flag and rushed to the front...

Lu Miao responded quickly and recited a large paragraph of content fluently.

People who know her stuff think she is awesome.

People who don’t know how to do it…

I also think she’s awesome!
The old guys before me were exposed to English when they were in high school ten years ago.

But the embarrassing thing is that most of them are only at the stage where they can understand superficially.

Many of the English words Lu Miao spoke were unfamiliar to them. They could understand some but didn't know how to spell them.

Liu Shouyi is a little better, and he also does some English translation manuscripts on a daily basis.

But because of my position in the newspaper office, I was busy with things and couldn't handle too much at the same time, so I was in a hurry to find someone.

Lu Miao responded quickly and spoke well.

Liu Shouyi's eyes lit up after listening to her interpretation, and he quickly pulled out a chair and asked her to sit down:
"You are still a student now, right?"

"Yes, I am an English major at the Military Region University."

"Military Region University! English Major!"

The people next to me looked at each other and said:
"That's a famous school! No wonder!"

Liu Shouyi nodded, looked at Lu Miao with even more intense eyes, and truthfully stated the current situation:

"The newspaper is currently recruiting translators, and the work involves translation from English to Chinese and Chinese to English, but mainly English to Chinese..."

"The content of the section will be sent to individuals after screening, and the length will generally not be too large."

He took the newspaper and roughly marked out the sections for Lu Miao to read.

It was almost one of the many sections that Lu Miao had when he was translating at the translation library.

Each article is about three to five hundred words.

"The remuneration depends on the content. If it is within five lines, it will be two yuan. If it is more than five lines, it will be five yuan. If it is more than ten lines, it will be five yuan. If it is more than ten lines, it will be eight yuan."

Sitong Newspaper is a small newspaper, focusing on regional news and small news.

Including foreign content and expanding the audience is one of the directions.

On the other hand, the audience direction has greatly increased, and the income will naturally increase.

Newspapers also need money to run.
