Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

Chen Yan chuckled, picked up the enamel pot on the table, took a sip, and whispered, "Some time ago, I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives and met my former college teacher. It seems that the higher-ups have this idea, and it will be a matter of three or two years! So I say! Boy, if you really want to go to college, hurry up!"

After saying this, Chen Yan kept silent.

What needs to be said has been said!

It’s up to Xu Haidong to make the choice!

As I recall, it was easiest to get into college in the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Afterwards, as the system and assessments continued to improve, it became less easy.

As for whether he can seize this opportunity to change his life and destiny, it depends on what Xu Haidong chooses.

Xu Haidong gasped for breath and it took him a long time to digest the news.

Then he swallowed his saliva and said, "I'll discuss this with my father later. After all, I'm still a worker in the factory now!"

"Ok!"

Chen Yan nodded.

at this time!

Xu Zhanyuan opened the door and walked in. He just happened to hear half of what Xu Haidong said and asked curiously, "What do you want to discuss with me?"

When Xu Haidong saw Xu Zhanyuan, he immediately wanted to tell him what Chen Yan had said to him, but he found that Chen Yan blinked at him.

He then noticed that it was not only Xu Zhanyuan who came in, but also a middle-aged man wearing glasses following him.

"Uncle Zhu! You're here too!"

Xu Haidong smiled and greeted Zhu Dakang, then said, "Dad, it's nothing! Chen Yan was just joking with me!"

Xu Zhanyuan was completely focused on Chen Yan's translation of the machine manual at the moment, so he didn't delve into it. He turned around and looked at Chen Yan excitedly, "Chen Yan, did you really... translate it?"

"Haha! Dad! Are you scared? Let me tell you, I was scared too!" Xu Haidong hooked Chen Yan's shoulder and said excitedly.

He knew that if Chen Yan could translate it this time, the troubles in the factory would be solved.

But Chen Yan is his good brother and good friend, and he was introduced by himself.

By then, Xu Haidong will also have made a contribution.

In the past, everyone in the factory knew that he was the son of the factory director Xu Zhanyuan, and they gave him some face, but Xu Haidong knew that it was not because people really thought he was capable, but just because he had a father who was a factory director.

But this time it’s different!

"Has it really been translated?" Hearing the conversation between several people at this moment, Zhu Dakang next to him couldn't help but look at Chen Yan and asked.

"Yes! Uncle Zhu, you're here at the right time! My dad asked you to check the translation results, right? Come on, take a quick look. If there is no problem, we can hand it over to the workers in the factory to learn to operate the machines, and we won't have to worry about the production tasks of the chemical plant! Right, Dad!" Xu Haidong asked excitedly.

Xu Zhanyuan and Zhu Dakang looked at each other, then smiled and said to Chen Yan, "I really didn't expect that Chen Yan could actually translate it in half an hour! Let's check it first. If there is really no problem, then the problem is solved! What do you think, Chen Yan?"

Chen Yan felt the same as Ming Jing'er.

Obviously, Xu Zhanyuan and his team did not think they could fully translate the mechanical manual.

I am still skeptical at the moment!

However, Chen Yan is confident in his translation skills!

If there really is a problem, then wouldn’t it be a waste of all the time that his previous generation spent learning English for so many years?

"It's my duty! After all, this matter is of great importance!" Chen Yan said with a smile.

Xu Zhanyuan actually felt a little guilty. After all, Chen Yan came to help, but things turned out like this.

But the matter at the chemical plant was so important that he had to treat it with caution, so he had to bite the bullet and say these questioning words.

Unexpectedly, although Chen Yan is not very old, he is quite sophisticated in dealing with people and it seems that he has no worries in his heart.

This made Xu Zhanyuan look at Chen Yan with higher regard!

"If this young man really has a high level of translation skills, coupled with his ability to deal with people, he is not a simple person!" Such a thought emerged in his mind.

Then he introduced Zhu Dakang to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan, this is Comrade Zhu Dakang, who is in charge of the Xinhua Bookstore in our county! He also knows foreign languages! How about letting him check it this time?"

"I have no objection, Uncle Xu, you just take care of the arrangements! I'm here to help anyway! With the relationship between Haidong and I, we're not outsiders!" Chen Yan said with a smile.

When Xu Haidong heard this, he immediately said, "Yes, Dad! Just let Uncle Zhu hurry up! Chen Yan and I are brothers, we are family, no need to be polite!"

Xu Zhanshan nodded, then handed the translation manuscript prepared by Chen Yan on the table to Zhu Dakang next to him!

After Zhu Dakang came into the office, apart from saying hello at the beginning, he basically didn't say anything, but was secretly talking to Chen Yan.

He originally felt that this matter was a bit mysterious!

He had studied English and knew how difficult it was to learn. He had studied it for half his life but was still only a half-baked learner.

As he was in charge of the Xinhua Bookstore, he came into contact with many translators and had a better understanding of the situation in this area.

Let's put it this way! There are not many people who can translate, and even fewer who can translate well!

These people are basically of a certain age. After all, if you want to master a language, you need a long time to immerse yourself in it.

But as soon as he entered the room and saw Chen Yan's young face, his heart sank.

How is it possible for someone so young to be proficient in foreign languages?

Old Xu, there is a high probability that you have been fooled by this young man.

"Then let me take a look." Zhu Dakang nodded and took the manuscript from Xu Zhanyuan. He was already thinking about how to have a good talk with this young man named Chen Yan.

Since you are so young and know a little foreign language, you should study hard, strive to improve your level, and contribute to the country and society, instead of being so ambitious.

If something goes wrong, who can take the responsibility?

Thinking about this, Zhu Dakang's eyes fell on the manuscript, and he couldn't help but say in surprise, "This handwriting is very beautiful. It can't be written without several years of practice!"

"I've practiced it before!" Chen Yan smiled faintly.

Zhu Dakang then sat down at his desk and began to look at the translated content according to the instructions.

"Well, this is a good beginning! This,... can it be translated like this? So this word means this, oh... this is good, not bad! Easy to understand! Very sophisticated, how do you pronounce this word, oh, so this is what it means, wow..."

It was clearly just an instruction manual, but when Zhu Dakang was reading the original text while comparing it with the translation, strange noises kept coming out of his mouth.

Chen Yan couldn't help but look at the other party suspiciously, and asked Xu Zhanyuan in a low voice, "Uncle Xu! Does Comrade Zhu really understand English?"

He was not worried at first, but looking at Zhu Dakang's expression at this moment, he always felt that Xu Zhanyuan had brought back a half-baked person.

It’s obvious that Zhu Dakang’s level is not very good. What if he doesn’t know it but insists that I translated it wrong?

Chen Yan has seen many people who pretend to know everything, who call a horse a zebra, and who confuse right and wrong.

Chen Yan was so upset because of Zhu Dakang!

Little did he know that at this moment, Zhu Dakang felt as if his heart was burned by a red-hot fire poker, and he was completely out of control!

perfect!

so perfect!

He couldn't find any faults at all!

Moreover, when translating, some of the more difficult to understand parts were annotated with simple annotations! In this way, anyone who can read can understand this manual!

This level is probably not worse than those of senior translators, right?

At this moment! Zhu Dakang was really scared!

Especially when I thought about persuading this young man after reading the translation, I didn't have the energy to do so at all. My face was getting hot!

Shame on you!

Whoosh!

He took a deep breath and suddenly stood up, grabbing Chen Yan's hand, "Comrade Chen Yan! I'm wondering if you are interested in something?"

Chen Yan looked at Zhu Dakang blankly, completely confused.

"Your translation level is really..." Zhu Dakang looked at Chen Yan with a complicated expression.

"Is it impossible? I knew it wouldn't be that easy! What should we do?" Xu Zhanyuan, who was standing next to him, sighed when he heard this.

Zhu Dakang turned around and looked at Xu Zhanyuan curiously. "Old Xu, what's wrong with you? Who told you it's not possible? Comrade Chen Yan's translation is so good! I have never seen such a high level of translation! I don't think you need to find someone to check it. Just try to operate the machine according to Comrade Chen Yan's translation!"

"what?"

After Zhu Dakang finished speaking, Xu Zhanyuan was stunned!

This...the surprise came too quickly!

The moment before, he thought that this matter was hopeless, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, there was a sudden turn of events!

"Really, is it okay? Old Zhu! Don't fool me!" Xu Zhanyuan asked anxiously, grabbing Zhu Dakang's arm.

Zhu Dakang said sincerely, "I have never seen such a high-level translation in my life! Comrade Chen Yan is so talented! It would be a waste of his talent to translate this for you!" After that, Zhu Dakang threw the translation manuscript in his hand to Xu Zhanyuan with a look of disgust.

"Let's go! Comrade Chen Yan, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's have a meal together. I have something I want to discuss with you!"

At this time, Chen Yan was the only one left in Zhu Dakang's eyes. He enthusiastically took Chen Yan's hand and walked out!

Xu Zhanyuan was a little confused at first, but at this moment he realized something and suddenly grabbed Chen Yan's other hand!

"No! You are such a jerk, Old Zhu! You are trying to rob me! Chen Yan is from our chemical plant! Don't even think about it!"

This scene made Xu Haidong, who was standing nearby waiting for the result, stare with his eyes wide open!

What is going on?

How come Chen Yan has become so popular in the blink of an eye?
