The week passed quickly without realizing it.
It was another Thursday. Jiang Nan and Xu Pingsheng went to attend the product pre-sale meeting of LT International Company. This event was open to the public. Most of the participants were people from France and the United States. Jiang Nan’s main task was to do real-time Translate, translate the original words to the foreigners when the sales staff makes introductions.
The fact that she was able to get this opportunity had a lot to do with Xu Pingsheng's successful "diplomacy" at the last expo. Mr. Chen, who had been chatting with Xu Pingsheng for a long time, was one of the vice presidents of LT sales.
One of their translators happened to be on leave this time, and there was not enough manpower, so Xu Pingsheng sent someone here.
Jiang Nan deliberately changed into smarter clothes, and her hair was pulled up low. She looked capable and gentle. Even Xu Pingsheng couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and praised: "You have grown up."
"Don't come." Jiang Nan replied.
She learned smartly this time and wore a pair of short black leather shoes instead of high heels, feeling relaxed all over.
When they arrived, they were led all the way up by LT staff. The event was already being prepared, and waiters one after another carried plates with food inside.
Jiang Nan and Xu Pingsheng followed the staff into the backstage. The staff led them to a middle-aged man in a suit. The man was still talking hurriedly to the people around him and looked very busy.
They waited for a while before the man became free and looked at them.
The staff member said: "Supervisor, this is the translator introduced by Mr. Chen."
"Why are there two people? We only need one." The man called the steward frowned.
Xu Pingsheng said hurriedly: "I'm here to accompany you. I told you, Mr. Chen."
Jiang Nan was also a little embarrassed at this time. She had told Xu Pingsheng that she would come by herself, but Xu Pingsheng felt that there were too many camera racks and was afraid that something would happen to her again, so she followed.
The two of them are really conjoined now.
The manager's expression was a little weird, but Xu Pingsheng had already mentioned Mr. Chen, so naturally he couldn't say anything more, so he could only wave his hand and said: "Just don't wander around."
"You." He pointed at Jiang Nan, then waved to a young girl in professional attire from a distance, and then said to Jiang Nan: "Follow her, do you understand? There must be no mistakes in translation."
He had little hope for this kind of foreign translation. He didn't expect Jiang Nan to be the icing on the cake, but just wanted the original translation to be understood by those foreigners.
Jiang Nan nodded: "Definitely."
"Come with me." The young girl said, then turned and walked away. Jiang Nan followed a few steps and then looked back at Xu Pingsheng.
Xu Pingsheng looked like an old mother entrusting her daughter, and said kindly: "Go, go, call me when you're done."
Jiang Nan nodded, turned around and quickly followed the girl's footsteps.
She and the girl stood in front of the counter selling robot pets. There were already many foreigners walking around and looking at the place. The girl introduced the products in front of her in English almost proficiently, including some obscure proprietary names. .
Jiang Nan had memorized the product introduction materials she had given in advance after translating them earlier, and then stood beside her smoothly and translated them all again in French. Her spoken language was clean and gentle, and many foreigners passing by were attracted to stop. .
In fact, this was the first time Jiang Nan spoke French after leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After returning to Beijing, most of the work only required English. She thought it would be a little unnatural for her to speak French again. Fortunately, all those hard work she put in late at night are now possible. Gave her a good reward.
Jiang Nan felt relieved.
The place was bustling with excitement, and voices of all kinds were chatting one after another. Where they didn't pay attention, a beautiful and menacing woman walked up.
Jiang Nan was the first to see her. Their sales location was in the center of the venue, and she could easily see everything around her. The moment she saw this woman, she felt inexplicably familiar in her heart, before she could react. Come over, the woman walked up to them and overturned their table at a speed that caught them off guard.
All the robot pets fell to the ground, making a loud noise. Although only the one at the bottom was smashed, the falling mechanical pieces still flew everywhere.
Jiang Nan's toes were hit by the fallen mechanical dog's limbs. The pain caused him to burst into tears. He pulled out his feet and took several steps back uncontrollably.
The saleswoman next to her was even more frightened and couldn't say a word.
They never expected that such a figure would suddenly appear. The foreigners near them stepped back unconsciously, standing not far away in surprise and surprise, tilting their heads and whispering sparsely.
The pretty girl still seemed to feel upset, so she lowered her head to pick up the intact mechanical cat and smashed it to the ground. The fragments flew everywhere, and the harsh sound made everyone around them cover their ears.
"Do it! Do it! I will make it impossible for you to do it!" the girl yelled.
People in the distance gradually gathered around them when they heard the noise, and the crowd formed a half circle around them.
Other nearby salesmen did not dare to come over at this moment, for fear that they would be implicated in this disaster.
Jiang Nan was still suffering from huge pain in her feet. It took a long time to recover. She was bent over and frowning tightly, unable to stand up straight.
"What's going on?" The manager who heard the commotion ran over quickly, fearing that things would get worse.
The beautiful girl stared at him, and with just one glance, the steward recognized her and said anxiously: "You are really my aunt, why are you here making trouble?" There was a faint threat in his tone, but he was completely out of control in front of this person. It's of no use to a girl who's gone.
"Let Chen Tao come to see me, otherwise I won't leave. If he doesn't make it easy for me, I won't make it easy for him. Let's die together." The girl said fiercely.
Jiang Nan finally remembered her. No wonder she felt familiar. They had seen her at the expo, and she was Mr. Chen's female companion.
The manager had a helpless and disgusted look on his face. He looked at the group of people around him and finally found it difficult to get angry. He pretended to be good-tempered and said: "You come with me and I will take you to see him, okay? Let's not stay here It's no good for you or us to make a fuss here."
The girl did not move and said angrily: "Liar, you are all liars, I don't believe you, let Chen Tao come here to see me, otherwise I won't leave."
The manager took a deep breath and signaled the two security guards behind him to drag her away. The girl was moving around with claws and claws, but she still couldn't withstand the strength of the two grown men. She could only yell and look back without caring about her image.
The girl next to Jiang Nan was so frightened that she didn't say a word.
The manager winked at Jiang Nan, who was still looking calm, and asked her to say something to appease these foreigners. He didn't understand French and couldn't speak what he wanted to say. Now he could only work in a hurry, for fear that if he wasn't careful, he wouldn't even be able to keep his job. .
Jiang Nan suddenly couldn't care less about the pain in her feet. She quickly flashed back the contents of the product introduction book in her mind, then showed a decent smile and quickly said in fluent French: "I'm sorry, everyone, just now A small incident occurred. Now let's continue to look at our products. As mentioned just now, LT's most important thing is the quality of its products. As you just saw, our products will not be damaged even if they are smashed once. ....."
Her words were full of humor. While talking about Jiang Nan, she bent down and picked up a complete machine from the ground...
The expressions of the foreigners around him have changed somewhat. They are no longer frightened just now, but more curious and smiling.
When the manager saw that the faces of the foreigners became better, he knew it was working. He hurriedly waved to the photographer in charge of shooting to come over with the camera.
If the publicity is good this time, maybe sales will rise instead of falling.
As soon as Jiang Nan saw the camera, her expression suddenly changed. She kept talking, but the corners of her mouth were beginning to tighten uncontrollably. Fortunately, the girl next to her also recovered and is now actively accommodating her.
Jiang Nan looked at the camera pointed at her, as if a dark bottomless pit was trying to take a picture of her. Her hands were cold, and she was even more panicked than when the girl was making trouble just now.
Jiang Nan hurriedly said a few final words, then handed over the work to the female salesperson, turned around and walked away quickly.
At this time, she didn't even care about the pain in her feet, she just felt like running away from here as soon as possible.
At this time, on the second floor of the pre-sale meeting, four or five men in suits and leather faces clearly saw the farce. The man standing at the front of the line turned and asked the assistant beside him: "That The little girl will be rewarded generously.”
What he was looking at was Jiang Nan.
"Mr. Wu, she is not from our company." The assistant replied.
"Then why did you come here?" The man raised his eyebrows.
"Someone in the translation department has asked for leave. There are many people needed today but not enough, so Mr. Chen hired someone from outside."
"The people hired from outside have better emergency response capabilities than the people in our company. This is something you should reflect on." The man's voice became deeper.
"..."
Jiang Nan limped all the way into the deserted corridor. The more she walked, the stronger the pain in her feet became. Finally, she saw an empty room with an open door, and she hurried in.
Jiang Nan sat down on the chair closest to her, her heart still beating wildly.
The deep fear hidden in his heart was magnified infinitely by the silent space at this moment. Jiang Nan's mind was filled with the cameras that were getting closer and closer to him, as well as those concrete and ferocious faces.
Her breathing gradually became rapid.
After a while, the breathing in the room gradually became more steady. Jiang Nanping broke out in a cold sweat. Her hands trembled slightly as she touched her forehead.
She still couldn't restrain her fear of the camera. After so long, there was no change at all.
At this moment, Jiang Nan's cell phone rang in his pocket.
Jiang Nan took it out and looked at the name, Xu Pingsheng.
She opened it and put it to her ear, her voice a little weak: "Hello?"
