Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

Chen Yan had received professional training in this area in his previous life, so when he was working at full capacity, Zhu Dakang once again felt the gap between Chen Yan, the translation genius, and the translators he usually came into contact with.

His heart was filled with shock!

I really found a treasure this time!

At this rate, the task could be completed in less than a week.

Thinking of this, Zhu Dakang felt dazed.

Before, he was worried to death every day, not knowing how to complete the task assigned by his superiors.

But now, after witnessing Chen Yan's translation ability, he felt that the task was nothing.

At this moment, Zhu Dakang truly felt the ups and downs of life.

"With Chen Yan's help, maybe I won't be able to stay in Lanshan County for long!" Such a thought suddenly popped up in Zhu Dakang's mind, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

He has enough qualifications to move up in the career. What he lacks now is just some attention from the leaders above him.

But now, as long as Chen Yan's translation is good, Lanshan County Xinhua Bookstore will not have to worry about the task at all. It will be difficult not to attract the attention of those above!

Zhu Dakang took a newspaper and flipped through it randomly, thinking about his future promotion path.

Chen Yan was completely immersed in his work.

What stimulated him was the generous remuneration!

If you calculate it, as long as he is fast enough, he can earn about a hundred yuan a day!

You have to know that in 1975, the entire country implemented an eight-level worker system from top to bottom.

An ordinary worker, a first-level worker, earns thirty-two yuan and fifty cents a month!

Even the top eighth-level workers only make one hundred yuan and eighty cents a month!

Chen Yan can earn more than 100 yuan a day.

This... is the power of knowledge!

And in a large state-owned factory, how many level eight workers are there?

To describe it with a phrase of this era, every level 8 worker basically spends his entire life studying the highest technology in an industry.

Level 8 workers represent the pinnacle of technology and are also a symbol of social status.

Any level eight worker, if they stand out, will definitely be more dazzling than the stars of later generations!

But Chen Yan, in this small Xinhua Bookstore, quietly earned a month's salary of an eighth-level worker in just one day.

What does it feel like?

It’s like the day before you were still envious of how much money a big star made from filming a movie, but the next moment you easily earned that money in just one day!

If this matter were to get out, there is no telling how many people would be frightened to the point of their eyes popping out.

However, to Chen Yan, it was just like that!

Having experienced the prosperity of later generations, he actually doesn't care much about money now. He just simply wants to change the status quo and let his wife live a good life.

Well, be a low-key man and pamper your wife.

rustling...

For an entire afternoon, the entire Xinhua Bookstore was filled with the sound of Chen Yan's pen writing on paper.

It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon!

Chen Yan stopped, rubbed his sore eyes, stretched, and felt sore all over.

He knew that this was a side effect of long hours of writing at a desk.

There is no way. If you want to make money, you have to endure this hardship.

"Uncle Zhu, Uncle Zhu! Wake up!"

Chen Yan went over and woke up Zhu Dakang, who was lying on the table and asleep.

"Ah, Chen Yan, it's getting late! Why don't you go back and have a rest? It's true that it's like this at the beginning of translation, and you may not be able to adapt to it. It's okay! I'm rooting for you!" Zhu Dakang opened his eyes, stretched his body, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said to Chen Yan.

However, Chen Yan shook his head.

"Uncle Zhu! All the manuscripts you gave me have been translated. Take a look!"

As he spoke, Chen Yan handed over a large stack of manuscript paper.

Zhu Dakang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What time is it?"

Chen Yan looked out the window. The sun had just set. "About five or six o'clock!"

"You finished translating these two sections in one afternoon?" Even though Zhu Dakang knew that Chen Yan was very capable and fast, he was still scared at this moment.

At this moment, he truly felt what speed meant!

"Yes, please count it. It's getting late. I have to go back to the village soon! My wife is waiting for me to come home for dinner!" Chen Yan said with a smile, implying that I have finished the translation and you should pay me the royalties!

"Wait a minute!"

Zhu Dakang nodded and started counting quickly.

After a moment, relying on his half-baked English, he basically confirmed one thing: Chen Yan had really finished the translation, and... the quality was quite high!

"Chen Yan! I now believe that you can really finish this work in a week!" Zhu Dakang said, patting Chen Yan's shoulder with emotion.

Then he said, "I'll have someone send the manuscript to the city for verification overnight, and submit your review materials as well. It should be approved in one or two days! I'll count the royalties and give them to you first! I have a portion of the advance payment here! Normally, the royalties will be paid only after the manuscript has passed the review, but I have nothing to say about your ability! I'll give it to you first!"

As he said this, he counted the number of words, "There are 11,600 words in total. I'll charge you five yuan per thousand words! That makes fifty-eight yuan! Just click on it!"

Chen Yan took the fifty-eight yuan that Zhu Dakang handed to him, and a hint of excitement surged in his heart.

To make money as quickly as possible and give Qin Yurou a grand wedding has been a wish that has been weighing on his mind since his rebirth.

Although the previous popcorn business seemed to be profitable, it was far from meeting Chen Yan’s needs.

But now, with this translation job, if I work a little harder, this wish will be close to realization!

"Thank you, Uncle Zhu!" Chen Yan put the money away and said to Zhu Dakang with gratitude.

"Why should you thank me? You deserve it! Translators like you are the country's treasure! To be honest, Chen Yan! Helping you is also helping myself! You don't know that the task given by the higher-ups is too heavy. Our Lanshan County is a small county. There are not many people who have received education, let alone those who know how to translate foreign languages. It was okay in the past two years. There were quite a few educated youth here. I found a few who had been exposed to foreign languages ​​and could help a little. But recently many educated youth have returned home! I was so worried that my hair was almost peeled off! I never thought I would meet you! Otherwise, I really don't know what to do!" Zhu Dakang said to Chen Yan with a grateful look on his face. These words were completely from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe! Uncle Zhu, let's cooperate well in the future!" Chen Yan said with a smile.

"Okay! Cooperate well! Strive to perfectly complete the tasks assigned by our superiors and translate more excellent works for the country!" Zhu Dakang said excitedly.

At this time, Chen Yan said, "I think it's getting late! I'm going back to my husband's house first. I'll come earlier tomorrow, Uncle Zhu!"

"Okay! Then be careful on the road! Go back and have a good rest at night so that you can be full of energy for work tomorrow!" Zhu Dakang personally saw Chen Yan out the door.

Chen Yan pushed his bicycle and turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, he saw Zhu Dakang running out in a hurry.

"Chen Yan, Chen Yan, wait a moment, you can't leave yet!"

Chen Yan stopped and asked, "What happened?"
