From abandoned baby to CEO
Chapter 742: Doing Everything to Get an Opportunity
The topics that Minister Li raised to Sun Xue were becoming increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, she was able to answer these questions fluently.
This was all thanks to her time studying at Cambridge University, to Matthew’s book list, and to Bach’s company in the business school to listen to classic courses given by masters in various fields.
It was also during that time that she eagerly learned knowledge in various fields, which brought about a qualitative change in her knowledge structure.
It really proves the saying that all the knowledge you learn will come in handy one day.
In the subsequent assessment, Minister Li unknowingly participated in it, and the two of them happily communicated on topics in various fields.
Minister Li has met no less than a hundred interviewees these days.
However, without exception, he was the one who asked the questions and then calmly observed and listened to the interviewee's performance.
He himself didn't expect that he was unknowingly involved in the communication with Sun Xue.
Minister Li was really surprised that Sun Xue, as a writer, had such a rich and complete knowledge system.
The interviewer in front of him suddenly made him feel bright.
He was very satisfied with Sun Xue.
However, this is only the first stage of screening, and Sun Xue will face more rigorous professional assessments next.
"Sun Xue, congratulations on entering the preliminary selection. I will call our professional teacher right away. If you can pass the professional assessment, you will successfully get this opportunity."
"Thank you, Minister Li."
Sun Xue was so happy when she heard Minister Li's words.
She knew that passing the primary election was a big step towards her goal.
Minister Li seemed a little excited and said to the other end of the phone, "Professor Xue, has the interpreter for the speech the day after tomorrow been chosen?"
"Yes, this interviewee just came. I just talked to her and she has very good conditions in all aspects."
"She is not an English major. She only has a technical secondary school degree. But her English is very good. She also studied and exchanged at Cambridge University. She is a writer. Do you want to meet her? Let's discuss it in more detail."
"Oh, the quota has been confirmed. That's a bit of a shame. I'm still quite optimistic about her. She's a very good interviewee."
Minister Li was communicating with the so-called Professor Xue on the other end of the phone. When Sun Xue heard that the quota had been decided, she suddenly became completely desperate.
Minister Li hung up the phone. "I'm sorry, Sun Xue. To be honest, you are very good in all aspects. You heard it too. I am strongly recommending you to Professor Xue."
"But, unfortunately, you signed up a little late. The spot has been reserved. You can only wait for the next opportunity."
"Isn't the deadline today?" Sun Xue was still a little unwilling to give up.
"As you know, translators for events like this need to do some work in advance. They need to get familiar with the environment and have face-to-face communication with the speaker tomorrow. Professor Xue will also give her some individual guidance."
"Minister Li, may I ask, are the successful translators now college students?"
Minister Li hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes, he is a postgraduate student majoring in English at Quancheng University. He is excellent in all aspects."
"You may also know about Nick Vujicic. He is a world-renowned motivational speaker who tours the world and is very popular among people all over the world."
"I chose Quancheng as my first northern city for my speech in China this time. The Quancheng government, the Propaganda Department, and the Organization Department all attach great importance to it."
"In fact, we had already selected the on-site translator for this event in advance. He was the only simultaneous interpreter in Quancheng City and had rich experience. But he suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized a few days ago, so we could only recruit him temporarily."
Minister Li had a very good impression of Sun Xue, so he told her all these things without any hesitation.
He only knew that Professor Xue had already chosen a translator, but as for how good the translator was, he had never met the translator in person.
He still felt a little regretful that Sun Xue did not get this opportunity.
If he were given a choice, he would probably choose Sun Xue without hesitation.
However, he was only the organizer, and the choice of translator was ultimately decided by Professor Xue, a famous professor at the School of English at Quancheng University.
He could only try his best to recommend Sun Xue, and he couldn't interfere in other matters.
"Minister Li, I have a small request. Is it appropriate for me to ask?"
"You speak."
"Can you give me a chance to talk to Professor Xue?"
"this....."
Minister Li was a little embarrassed for a moment.
Logically speaking, the translator has already been hired, so even if the matter is over, there is no reason for Sun Xue to talk to Professor Xue.
"Minister Li, do you know how much I want this opportunity?"
Minister Li was a little confused about what Sun Xue said.
"Maybe others get such an opportunity to verify their English ability, to add a proud experience to their resume, or to get close to their idols, but I am different."
Minister Li frowned, wondering what was wrong with what Sun Xue said? In his opinion, wasn't the opportunity to get this just like what Sun Xue said?
Sun Xue continued, "If I get this opportunity, maybe I can revive my father's company."
Next, Sun Xue briefly talked about the huge debt problem her family is facing now, and how she achieved today's results through hard work step by step.
As she was speaking, Sun Xue suddenly burst into sobs.
After listening to Sun Xue's story, Minister Li did not expect that the growth experience of this girl in front of him would be so inspiring.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. As the director of the Cultural Organization Department of Quancheng City, his mission and purpose is to promote truth, goodness and beauty to the society and the general public, and to spread positive and touching events.
This is also the original intention of organizing motivational speeches like Nick Vujicic.
Isn't it worth promoting an inspirational girl like Sun Xue and her spirit? Shouldn't he help such a person?
"Sun Xue, don't call Professor Xue anymore. I'll go talk to Professor Xue about your matter when I'm done. Wait for my call."
Sun Xue wiped away her tears and was very happy. "Thank you, Minister. Thank you so much!"
She was so excited that she didn't know how to thank the elegant Minister Li in front of her.
Walking out of Minister Li’s office, Sun Xue was like a happy little bird.
She could tell from Minister Li's expression that he sincerely wanted to help her. As for whether he would succeed in the end, she was already very touched.
She was very satisfied with her performance. At least she tried her best and did not give up.
Minister Li was also moved by Sun Xue's story. She is a girl full of positive energy who is always trying to find ways to achieve her goals.
In his opinion, this was truly an extraordinary woman.
