From abandoned baby to CEO
Chapter 743 Your persistence has earned you a chance
Sun Xue herself didn't expect that she would talk with Minister Li for an hour.
Moreover, she could feel that Minister Li was very happy chatting with her.
She immediately called Liu Bin and said, "Honey, I'm out now. Come pick me up."
Liu Bin was very excited when he heard her voice and asked, "Did you pass the interview?"
Sun Xue told her excitedly, "It's halfway to success."
Arriving at the university town, Sun Xue felt full of strength.
At this time, the snow stopped.
The campus was full of people, and Sun Xue began to work non-stop towards her enrollment goals.
Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Sun Xue was in great shape when she was selling. She passionately introduced the school and courses to the students.
In less than two hours, she successfully persuaded more than 20 students to register.
This result was beyond her expectations. If she continued at this pace, she would definitely be able to complete today's goal by dark.
Just then, the phone rang.
As soon as she saw the phone number, she felt inexplicably excited.
"Hello, Minister Li!"
"Sun Xue, your persistence has earned you an opportunity. Please come to my office right now."
"Ok."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue clenched her fists excitedly and shouted, "Yeah!"
A boy passing by her was so scared that he looked at Sun Xue with curiosity.
Sun Xue excitedly called Liu Bin, "Hubby, drive me to the Organization Department quickly."
On the way, seeing Sun Xue grinning all the time, Liu Bin joked, "Have you eaten pistachios?"
"Honey, I have a feeling this is going to work."
Liu Bin praised him, "You are going to be a celebrity. It will be a great honor to be the translator at a speech for 10,000 people!"
Sun Xue couldn't help but hold her chin up in anticipation, "Yes! This is the first time I've experienced such a scene in my life. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
"Wife, if you are really chosen, will you be nervous?"
"Nonsense, what do you think?"
"When the time comes, I will bring the two little ones to the scene to cheer you on. When you are nervous, just look at us and you won't be nervous anymore."
Sun Xue laughed, "That's a good idea."
As soon as she entered Minister Li's office, Sun Xue saw a beautiful lady in her forties with excellent temperament.
"Professor Xue, this is the contestant I recommended to you, Sun Xue. She's a very good girl."
"Hello, Professor Xue!" Sun Xue greeted politely.
Professor Xue nodded and smiled slightly, "She looks and has a good temperament."
In response to Professor Xue's praise, Sun Xue quickly said, "Thank you, Professor Xue."
"Minister Li strongly recommended you to me and told me your story in vivid detail. We attach great importance to this speech event. No matter how strongly Minister Li recommends you, I still have to conduct a professional test on you out of a responsible attitude for the conference."
"Thank you, Professor Xue. I am willing to accept the assessment." Sun Xue answered confidently and generously with a smile on her face, neither humble nor arrogant.
Professor Xue nodded. "The test is very simple. I will choose a speech for half an hour. You have to follow the tape and do a live translation."
"The requirements are very simple. The translation must be accurate and the pronunciation must be clear. You are only allowed to lag behind by one sentence at most. If there is a jam or translation error in the middle of the process, then I can only say with regret that you are not yet qualified for this kind of work."
"Have you heard the requirements clearly? Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask them now." When Professor Xue said this, his expression became serious.
After hearing the requirements, Sun Xue immediately realized that this assessment was quite difficult as she had never received such training.
Provides very accurate translation even when only one sentence behind the recording.
The requirements for listening, language organization skills, and quick response ability are all considerable challenges.
No wonder they require the English proficiency to be above professional level eight. Without this level, you really can’t make a living in this field.
Sun Xue blurted out without thinking, "Professor Xue, I understand all the requirements. I have no questions."
Professor Xue nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, we'll do the test right away."
Minister Li handed Sun Xue a bottle of water with concern, his eyes full of care, and encouraged her with a kind smile, "Sun Xue, drink some water to adjust your state. Don't be nervous. I hope you can succeed."
Minister Li's words made Sun Xue feel very warm inside, and her slightly nervous heart suddenly relaxed.
"Thank you, Minister Li!" Sun Xue unscrewed the water, took a few sips, and took a deep breath.
Professor Xue handed Sun Xue a pair of noise-proof headphones and smiled. "Sun Xue, don't be nervous. Adjust your state. Tell me when you are ready."
"Ready!" Sun Xue answered confidently.
She had only one belief in her heart: she would try her best, and if she failed, she would have no regrets.
Then give it your all!
Professor Xue made an OK gesture to Sun Xue and immediately pressed the play button for the recording.
Sun Xue sat upright in front of the two of them, her posture straight, her eyes straight ahead, her expression full of confidence.
Familiar and pleasant English speeches floated to my ears...
In an instant, a familiar scene came to mind.
She stood in the center of the stage, and the audience was filled with pairs of eager eyes...
She was highly focused, and fortunately, she translated the first paragraph accurately, which was a good start.
She was quite familiar with the content of the speech; it was a report by an economist on the current development of real estate in the world.
There are many professional economic terms in it. Fortunately, I have some knowledge of economics at Cambridge University.
I once stayed up late to read and finished several somewhat boring professional books on economics.
Professional vocabulary pops out of my mind like beautiful notes...
Although Sun Xue was sitting in front of the two men, she kept her eyes looking straight ahead and could not see their reactions to her.
Time passed little by little, and Minister Li and Professor Xue, who were sitting opposite Sun Xue, were taking notes very seriously.
When half of the time had passed, what Sun Xue didn't know was that the expressions on the faces of Minister Li and Professor Xue opposite her had changed from serious and frowning at the beginning to relaxed and smiling later.
Professor Xue, in particular, kept nodding his head while taking notes.
Minister Li even exchanged views with Professor Xue with a smile on his face, looking relaxed and satisfied.
When the last sentence of the speech tape ended, Sun Xue finished translating and said, "Thank you all for listening!"
The moment she took off her headphones, she felt relieved!
What she didn't expect was that after half an hour of highly concentrated translation, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Fortunately, she felt good about herself and there were no problems, and she translated almost simultaneously throughout the whole process.
As for whether it can pass the test, it depends on Professor Xue’s comments.
