From abandoned baby to CEO

Chapter 741 Are all writers today so powerful?

Sun Xue looked up at the building in front of her, took a deep breath, clenched her fists and told herself loudly, "Come on!"

She knocked on the office door with a nervous heart.

The interviewer’s surname was Li, a middle-aged man in his fifties with a very elegant temperament.

"Hello, Minister Li, my name is Sun Xue."

"Did you bring your resume?"

Sun Xue was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, I saw your recruitment information when I was looking for my friend at Quancheng University, so I called and rushed over immediately. I haven't had time to prepare my resume yet."

"Are you majoring in English at Quancheng University?" Minister Li asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"No, I have a technical secondary school degree and graduated from Quancheng Textile Industry School."

"You said you graduated from a technical secondary school?"

Minister Li was shocked, then shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, I'm busy and don't have time to joke with you."

Sun Xue said hurriedly, "Minister Li, please listen to me. Although I graduated from a technical secondary school, I just came back from an exchange program at Cambridge University this year."

Minister Li's eyes flashed with surprise, "You went to Cambridge University for study and exchange?"

"Correct."

Sun Xue told Minister Li about her experience of studying and exchanging at Cambridge University.

"What, you went to Cambridge University as a writer?" Minister Li looked at Sun Xue in front of him in disbelief.

What the interviewer said completely overturned his perception.

After graduating from secondary technical school, I went to Cambridge University for study and exchange, and I actually participated in it as a writer.

This suddenly aroused his strong interest.

She was different from all the interviewees he had met in the past few days.

Almost all the candidates who came for interviews these days were from various universities in Quanzhou City, and they were the best college students majoring in English.

Sun Xue is the only interviewee who only has a technical secondary school diploma.

"That's right. That year, Cambridge University recruited less than 30 writers from all over the world, and I was the only young writer representing China to study there."

Sun Xue's face was full of confidence. In such an occasion, she had to show 200% confidence and be domineering in order to make the interviewer remember her.

Minister Li smiled and said, "I admire your experience. However, we are doing translation work. Although Chinese proficiency is important, English proficiency is the most important."

"Minister Li, don't worry about this. I wouldn't dare to take on this porcelain job if I didn't have the skills."

Minister Li laughed at Sun Xue's humor and frankness.

Sun Xue added, "To be honest, before I went to Cambridge University, my English was only at a high school level. However, after two months of self-study, I was able to basically understand the teacher's lectures."

"After half a year, I could communicate with anyone in the local area without any obstacles, and my fluency was as good as my native language."

After hearing what Sun Xue said, Minister Li frowned, "You said that you can understand the lectures of foreign university professors after two months of self-study?"

Minister Li felt that what Sun Xue said was like a fairy tale.

He is a veteran college student, having graduated from a top domestic university with a degree in English. He went to work in the Foreign Trade Bureau of Quancheng City right after graduation, and later in the Cultural Organization Department of Quancheng City.

He had never heard of someone with only a high school education being able to reach the level of studying abroad through self-study.

This kind of thing only happens in movies and TV shows.

"Aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Minister Li said with a curl of his lips.

"Minister Li, I will be responsible for every word I say."

Even if Sun Xue's words were fantastic, how could she have fooled him?

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you can just take it out for a walk and you’ll know.

Then he said with a serious expression, "Now, Xiao Sun, I will do a simple test on your English level."

"Okay, thank you Minister Li."

Sun Xue answered confidently.

She knew very well that no matter how perfect she sounded, if her English was not good enough, everything would be nonsense.

Since Sun Xue in front of him had made such a boast, Minister Li wanted to test Sun Xue's ability.

He wanted to use facts to tell Sun Xue that it is a good thing for young people to have confidence, but blind self-confidence will become arrogance.

He thought about it and decided that since Sun Xue wanted to tease him, he would return the favor and tease this ignorant technical secondary school graduate.

Start with the simplest one, then increase the difficulty little by little, and strike down her arrogance little by little, so that she will completely despair and recognize herself clearly.

"Then please introduce yourself in English first."

No? The assessment of the English proficiency of on-site interpreters actually starts with a self-introduction. Isn't this... a bit too simple?

"Okay, Minister Li." Sun Xue smiled slightly, cleared her throat, and gave a brief self-introduction in fluent and authentic English.

As soon as Sun Xue opened her mouth, Minister Li was stunned.

His first impression was that it sounded nice and authentic.

If you don't look at him in person and only listen to his voice, you would think he is a genuine foreigner.

That smell is so familiar!

Of course, Minister Li is a man who has seen the world, and a few simple self-introductions cannot prove anything.

An on-site translator who can speak English is just the minimum requirement.

The key is to examine listening, on-the-spot reaction ability, knowledge, comprehension ability, writing skills, and strong psychological quality.

None of these can be missing.

Minister Li immediately increased the difficulty and asked Sun Xue to talk about her own views on the cultural differences between China and the West.

This problem is a piece of cake for Sun Xue.

She spoke eloquently, and after she finished, Sun Xue noticed that Minister Li nodded slightly, with a calm expression on his face.

Sun Xue's relaxed answer still surprised Minister Li a little.

"What do you think of the current rapid development of the Internet in China?"

Sun Xue had just finished the previous topic and had no time to catch her breath when Minister Li immediately threw her the next question.

She immediately realized that the difficulty of Minister Li's assessment began to increase little by little.

After thinking for a few seconds, she immediately expressed her opinion.

She is an online writer, and thanks to the Internet, she is naturally very concerned about this topic.

She briefly introduced the development history of the Internet in China in a few sentences and put forward her own unique insights on the Internet.

Sun Xue's answer made Minister Li's eyes light up.

The ideas are clear, the words are accurate, and there are opinions of your own.

A hint of surprise flashed across Minister Li's eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This was beyond his imagination!

He suddenly suspected that Sun Xue's claim that she was a technical secondary school student was just a gimmick.

But he was confused. She didn't need to use such a gimmick to win his favor! There was no need for that!

Next, he communicated with Sun Xue on issues related to economy, politics, culture, etc.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had a great time chatting, and many of Sun Xue's views opened his eyes.

He wondered, are all the writers nowadays so powerful?
