On February 2014, 2, Saturday, to make up for the Spring Festival holiday, at 8:8 a.m., the sales department of Shanghai Yishen Translation Co., Ltd.

You Wei held on to the handset of the landline for the thousandth and first time to build himself up mentally. Although it would be life and death at the mercy of fate, as long as he thought of the painful probationary period, he mustered up his courage again. My heart said that I would die, anyway, if I fail this time, I will die miserably soon, maybe I have to pack up and go back to where I should go.

Moreover, the manager Derek Cao's ugly old face with a lustful smile and his breath smelled worse than Changsha stinky tofu, he really couldn't convince himself to endure it anymore, in order not to be called to the conference room to accept the trial period alone face to face Ideological education finally strengthened his determination, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would do everything possible to win Gao Bin, a tough nut to crack!

He took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly. He put on a superficial posture, and then dialed Gao Bin's mobile phone number provided by his department colleague Jessie. The call was connected quickly, but after several rings, nothing happened. People pick up.

Could it be that you haven't woken up yet?You Wei thought to himself, after all, freelancers have very free time. They can work when they want to work, and go on vacation all over the world when they don’t want to work. Unlike the group of them who work at work, they get up early every day and stay late every day. If they are late, they will be deducted ten yuan. Money, it hurts to think about it ( ̄﹏ ̄)

Just as I was about to hang up and call again, the phone was answered suddenly, and I heard a lazy and magnetic "Hello?" from the other end. It really sounded like I hadn't woken up, but the voice was really nice .

In order to make a good first impression for this famous simultaneous interpreting teacher in Shanghai and facilitate the following conversation, Youwei immediately offered a very sincere apology: "Hello, Mr. Gao Bin, calling so early I'm really sorry to disturb your sleep, I..."

You Wei was about to introduce himself in the middle of the sentence and briefly explain his purpose of making this call, when the lazy male voice on the phone interrupted him, sounding very impatient, almost gnashing his teeth He yelled at him, "Dizzy!"

faint? ? ?You Wei was taken aback by this sudden and inexplicable roar, and wondered in his heart if he had really disturbed Gao Bin's rest because of the wrong time on the phone?Although he is just a non-existent trainee salesman in a translation company, he has somewhat learned about the translation industry through the probationary period of more than one month and nearly two months.

Although simultaneous interpreting can be regarded as an absolute high-paying profession, the more you get, the more you pay. Therefore, simultaneous interpreting must be a very hard job, which requires the interpreter to concentrate for a long time and be very flexible The on-the-spot reaction is particularly brain-burning.This is why a simultaneous interpretation meeting must have two interpreters do it alternately, because almost no one can insist on simultaneous interpretation for a whole day from morning to night, and it often takes 45 to [-] minutes for one interpreter to perform simultaneous interpretation. Put another person on the top, and an interpreter with a slightly lower level would not dare to take the simultaneous interpretation project casually. If something goes wrong and smashes his own signboard, he may not even be able to do the accompanying interpreting project in the future.

Now that Gao Bin suddenly yelled at him like this, You didn’t subconsciously guess that Gao Bin must have had a super difficult simultaneous interpretation meeting yesterday, so he urgently needed enough sleep to recover his physical and mental strength, so he called Gao Bin on the phone. It would be strange not to say that he was dizzy.

It was really a mistake, You Wei almost regretted it, why didn't he ask Gao Bin's schedule in advance and do more preparations, so he rashly called him?Ordinary people are not happy to be woken up suddenly while sleeping, let alone Gao Bin, who is well-known in the Shanghai simultaneous interpreting circle?If you want to invite him, according to Jessie's original words: "Even if you use eight sedan chairs to invite him, kneel three times and knock nine times, he may not be able to pay attention to you."

Suddenly his heart sank, but thinking of the probationary period approaching day by day, You Wei still wanted to try his best, so he quickly brewed his emotions and began to speak: "Mr. Gao Bin, I know that my phone call has disturbed you Rest is my fault, but I..."

"wrong number!"

You Wei was interrupted in the middle of his speech, and then a sarcastic busy tone came from the receiver. . . . . .

Bye?Wrong type?Youwei immediately petrified.Yesterday, when he got the number for the first time, he had confirmed to Jessie several times whether the number was correct or not. Jessie patted his chest and assured him that it was absolutely correct, but what is going on now?

You Wei only felt that his throat was dry, and after much deliberation, he could only think of one reason, which was also the most fundamental reason - he made this call at the wrong time and disturbed Gao Bin's rest.Maybe another time would be better?

Thinking of this, You Weicai felt a little better. A new day has just begun, so don't be so downcast, there is still a lot of work to do in the future!Encouraging himself so much in his heart, You Wei felt even more motivated, well, a new day starts with a cup of Nescafe coffee!

Tore a pack of cheap [-]-in-[-] Nescafé coffee and poured it into the cup that came with the coffee. You Wei stood up from his seat and was about to go for tea and indirect hot water. When he walked through the cubicle, he deliberately relaxed his mood The footsteps are afraid of disturbing other colleagues who are working hard.Alas, this is the sadness of being a probationary employee. Doing the most unpleasant job in the company but earning the meager salary. If you don’t perform well, you will be fired every minute. There is no way, the probationary period will not be signed. The labor contract has no guarantee at all ( ̄﹏ ̄)

It is estimated that the door of the tea room was not closed. Before I approached Youwei, I heard someone talking inside, humming and laughing, probably talking about something funny. One of the voices was Jessie who was in charge of taking him, and the other One is Jackie from HR.

The relationship between these two people is well-known in the company, and they are both senior employees of the company. One is Youwei's direct supervisor, and Jessie has to point out many things that he doesn't understand. Those who are in charge of the company's personnel work will have to consult with others after signing a labor contract and other matters such as five insurances and one housing fund, so it seems that he can't afford to offend any of them.

You Wei was standing at the corner with a cup in his hand, whether he was going in or not, and at this moment the laughter in the tea room suddenly stopped, and Jackie deliberately lowered his voice and asked Jessie furtively: "Hey, what do you think? Wouldn't that be too good for the newcomers?"

Newcomer?It is said that curiosity killed the cat. Originally, Youwei planned to go back to his seat and wait for a while before coming to pick up the hot water, but when he heard the word "newcomer", he immediately couldn't move. He intuitively felt that Jessie and Jackie would be next. The conversation will revolve around him, because he is the newest person in the company.And usually Jessie is so kind and amiable to him, although, all the tedious things are left to him, but isn't this an experience for yourself?But now listening to Jackie's tone, it doesn't seem to be the case at all?

So You Wei pricked up his ears and moved closer, only to hear Jessie reply nonchalantly: "I'm just a small punishment and a big punishment, who told that damn gay to cover him like this, and once he entered the company, he would take it from me." I took a lot of customer resources for him to follow up in vain, do you know how much commission this will cost me every month?"

"Those are small customers, right? How much can you lose?" Jackie snickered, "I see, you just can't swallow the breath you made back then, and you want newcomers to try it too."

"Don't blame me for teasing him, even if I write Gao Yun's name to him, do you think he can recognize that word with his diploma from a third-rate school?" Jessie involuntarily raised her voice, her tone full of Is disdainful, "Yes, I haven't swallowed the breath at the time, Gao Yun has more experience of studying abroad for a few years than others, and is proficient in English, French, and Russian. He really thinks he is a treasure. , everyone has to stick to his cold face?"

Gao Yun?You didn't make sure that he heard Jessie mention the name twice, but he still didn't quite understand what was going on.

Jackie smiled again: "Gao Yun is famous for being aloof in Shanghai's simultaneous interpreting circle, and he hates being called by his name wrong. Think of a 'Gao Yun', a 'Gao Bin' , It’s almost a hundred thousand light-years away from calling out, it’s no wonder, if I change, I’m afraid I’ll never answer that person’s phone again.”

Hearing this, You Wei finally woke up. It turns out that Gao Bin’s name is not "Gao Bin" but "Gao Yun". I hate being called by the wrong name, so that sound should be "Yun!" instead of "Halo!" as I understand.

Thinking of this, Youwei himself was a little dizzy, he couldn't figure it out, a person who usually looks so nice would secretly punish him like this, even though he is a newcomer, and Derek did get some clients from Jessie Let him follow up.But the conscience of heaven and earth, those customers are really just negligible small customers, and it is thankful to have a translation order of several hundred yuan a month.This time he also had nowhere to go, so he listened to Jessie's suggestion and thought about going to Gao Yun's tough bone, because as long as he wins Gao Yun, basically any interpreting project for tricky clients will not be a problem.

Gao Yun is a living sign worthy of the name. With him, you don’t need to ask clients. Instead, clients will come to beg translation companies to let Gao Yun take their company’s simultaneous interpretation meeting. Clients can fight for him.

The more You Wei thought about it, the more angry he felt, the cup in his hand was about to be crushed by him, for a moment he really wanted to kick open the door of the tea room and rush in to scold Jessie for being a duplicity whore | A meal.

But after calming down and thinking about it, Jessie is indeed right in some places. He Youwei did graduate from a third-rate university, and he almost failed to get a diploma because he failed a course. After graduation, he can enter such a competitive city in Shanghai. He should be delighted at a translation company with a decent scale, and that Derek really took good care of him, apart from being a bit nasty about him.

And, the saddest thing is that Jessie said that even if she wrote Gao Yun's name to him, he would not know the word.

This is a fact, an ironclad fact, because at the moment when You didn't understand the truth, he searched his mind several times for all the words that looked like "bin" but should actually be pronounced "Ychun" and found the answer. It’s because he really didn’t know that word, maybe even if he got “Gao Yun” instead of “Gao Bin”, he would pronounce “Yun” as “Bin” without hesitation.

After thinking about it for a while, You Wei still felt that he should swallow this breath. For a newcomer who has just stepped into the workplace, it is inevitable that he will be wronged. Fortunately, he has seen some mistakes in advance. The true face of people's hypocrisy, no matter how affectionate she is in the future, she can at least understand whether some people are sincere or not, and she is a little more defensive.After all, there is a wise saying called "to bear the burden of humiliation" is the first rule for newcomers to the workplace.

Comforting himself in this way in his heart, Youwei walked back to his cubicle with his head drooping while holding the cup, and the hot water should be picked up later.
