Chapter 49: Boys don't cry easily (3)
"Ye Lingtian, I want to ask you something." In the afternoon, when get off work was about to get off work, Li Yuxin called Ye Lingtian to the office and asked Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian nodded and signaled Li Yuxin to tell him the matter directly.
"I want to know how far your French is? That is to say, how is your spoken language? Can you directly translate oral language?" Li Yuxin asked directly.
Ye Lingtian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why did you ask that?"
"That's right. In the afternoon, the senior management of our company held a meeting. We studied the conditions given by Al Group and thought it was okay. Then you also know that I went to the group headquarters and asked about the opinions of the headquarters leaders. The opinions of the headquarters leaders also felt that they were operational. So, I decided to fly directly to Paris on Wednesday to discuss cooperation with Al Group. This is our company and the first overseas five-star hotel in our group. It is also our company's largest overseas investment, with an investment of over 100 million yuan. Whether it is for our group or our company, this is a very important investment.
I want to get this contract as soon as possible. The problem now is that our company's original French translation is not there, so I need a translation. This is not just a text translation, but a simultaneous translation. I want to ask if you can do it? If it can do it, I want to ask you to help you. I think you will definitely follow me anyway, right? If you can do it, you can save the expenses of one of us personnel, and at the same time, it can also save me the trouble of finding a simultaneous French translation. Time is tight, and it is also quite troublesome to find a simultaneous French translation in such a short time. See if you can do it." Li Yuxin asked Ye Lingtian directly.
"Wednesday? When will the air ticket be?" Ye Lingtian asked directly.
"Flying to Hong Kong tomorrow night, and then directly from Hong Kong to Paris the morning after tomorrow. If you think you can do it, I will ask Huang Ling to determine the number of people and book the air ticket. However, you have to think about it yourself. This is a simultaneous translation, which is very demanding. Moreover, this investment is very important to me, so..." Li Yuxin said, and was interrupted by Ye Lingtian before she finished speaking.
"Let's do this. When I get off work, I'll go see Ye Shuang, communicate with the nurse, and pay some more money to prevent the money from being insufficient." Ye Lingtian said directly, and then withdrew from Li Yuxin's office.
"No, is it okay or not?" Li Yuxin shouted at Ye Lingtian's back, and then she was stunned, as if Ye Lingtian had already answered his question.
Ye Lingtian drove a car to the hospital with Li Yuxin when he got off work. However, the hospital had already gotten off work, and the nurse still refused to let Ye Lingtian enter the special care unit. He only said that he would not come in the next day, and the payment window had been closed. Ye Lingtian found the nurse in charge and was kind-hearted, saying that he was going out, hoping that the nurse could help take care of Ye Shuang well. At the same time, he also left his mobile phone number to the nurse.
"Ye Lingtian, are you really not a problem? Of course, I didn't say that your French level is not good. After the morning translation, I have completely believed in your French level. However, this simultaneous translation is not the same as text translation. It requires training. It is very difficult to translate directly while speaking. I think if you are not sure about yourself, I think I'd rather ask a translator to forget it. Of course, I absolutely don't mean to blame you, I..." Li Yuxin said as she said
She didn't know what to say, but she felt that nothing she said seemed to be right. In fact, she felt more and more worried after Ye Lingtian left her office. After all, this investment project was too important, and Ye Lingtian was just a self-taught person and must have never done translation. If the investment was really messed up because of this, it would be really not worth the loss. So Li Yuxin still thought about asking for a professional translator. After all, she still didn't believe Ye Lingtian very much.
"I understand what you mean, and you don't have to say sorry to me. But you are leaving tomorrow. Even if you go to invite a translator now, invite a professional simultaneous translator and ask others to follow you tomorrow afternoon. I think it's very difficult and almost impossible. High-level professional French translations in China are very tight, and it's basically difficult to match their time without making an appointment in advance. As for whether I can translate, I think the problem shouldn't be big. It's impossible for you to contact people from the other party's company to directly discuss cooperation as soon as you meet. There will always be a meeting and contact. If I really can't do it at that time, you can invite someone else. If the other party group has a Chinese translation, it's the best thing. If not, you can ask the other party to invite a Chinese translator in Paris, or you can go to a university in Paris to find a Chinese student who has been there for a long time to translate. Some of them have good French skills." Ye Lingtian said lightly.
When Li Yuxin heard Ye Lingtian say this, she thought it made a lot of sense. It was because she thought it was too complicated. In fact, the problem was really that simple. This was the first time she thought Ye Lingtian was actually very smart, not as dull as she looked on the surface.
Li Yuxin nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
The next morning, Ye Lingtian was still driving at the door waiting for Li Yuxin, but after getting on the bus, Li Yuxin said to Ye Lingtian directly: "I won't go to work this morning, go to the pedestrian street."
Ye Lingtian looked at Li Yuxin with a little strangeness, and then drove the car to the commercial street. In his impression, Li Yuxin was a woman who worked very hard. It was the first time he saw Li Yuxin go shopping without going to work when she was at work.
"I'm going to leave this afternoon, so I have arranged an morning vacation for all those who go to France, including myself." Li Yuxin seemed to feel Ye Lingtian's strangeness and explained.
Ye Lingtian said kindly and said nothing.
Ye Lingtian parked the car, and then Li Yuxin walked directly to a high-end shopping mall. Ye Lingtian was still following Li Yuxin two or three meters behind.
I saw Li Yuxin directly walked into a men's clothing store and picked it up and chose it. Ye Lingtian thought, maybe she was picking clothes for her father, or she was picking for her friends.
Just as Ye Lingtian was standing at the door waiting, Li Yuxin shouted to him directly: "Ye Lingtian, come in."
