Dong Yiqing glanced at her watch and saw that the pointer was almost 14 o'clock, but no one had called her yet. It seemed that this interview was going to be a disaster, and she couldn't help but sigh.
She was sitting on an outdoor seat in the cafe, basking in the sun while stirring the coffee with a coffee spoon. She stirred the coffee into a small vortex in the coffee cup. At this moment, the mobile phone in the bag made a clear ringtone. She quickly took out her phone, only to find that it was Lu Wei calling.
"Hey, honey, where are you?" Lu Wei asked sweetly.
"In Frankfurt," a wry smile appeared on Dong Yiqing's lips, "Interview."
"Oh, is it the exhibition translation job you mentioned before? How is it? Is everything going well?" Lu Wei asked with concern.
"Well..." Dong Yiqing's thoughts drifted back to a few hours ago.
Looking at Xiao Wu's smiling face, Dong Yiqing quickly recalled the content of his answer in his mind, and asked politely: "I wonder if it would be convenient for you to tell me that your company is considering these two products mainly for use." In what field? Because although these two products look very similar, they are indeed quite different in price and use."
Xiao Wu said one word lightly, which was regarded as an answer to her question. Dong Yiqing did not dare to neglect, and immediately told him the important data, main uses and advantages of A stone.
But Stone A was quickly introduced, and she still didn't remember the specific data about Stone B. Just when she was at a loss, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: If I were a customer, I would definitely not only care about the parameters of the product, I would definitely care more about the cost of the product. In other words, customers will not only pay attention to the price when purchasing the product, but also be interested in the subsequent derivative costs.
She suddenly remembered that when she was reviewing this part on Monday, she had made a comparison table of several stone materials. Although she did not remember all the contents of the table, she still had an impression of some key words.
After thinking about this, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she said with a smile: "The parameters of stone B are basically the same as stone A, but in addition to the differences in usage, the two products are also different in subsequent cost and maintenance. a The unit price of stone is higher, and it is mainly suitable for indoor use, but the later maintenance cost is lower. The unit price of b stone is lower, but it is mainly suitable for outdoor use, and the natural loss in the later period will be greater. If it is the one you just mentioned For the purpose, I think it may be more appropriate for you to choose stone A. Of course, if you are interested in our products, you are welcome to come to our tea room and our experts will give you a more detailed introduction."
Dong Yiqing did not answer Xiao Wu's questions, but guided Xiao Wu to what he knew and provided consultation. At the last moment of the consultation, he naturally recommended the higher-priced product to the customer without causing any resentment to the customer.
After listening to her words, the client played by Xiao Wu kept nodding, seeming satisfied with the answer.
Zhang Yingfei seemed to be attracted by the conversation between the two. He did not continue to get angry, but observed their every move with a gloomy face and silence.
Just when Dong Yiqing was about to take a breath, Xiao Wu suddenly asked maliciously: "Then do so many of your products have patents and copyrights? Why do some of your products seem so familiar to me?"
Dong Yiqing was keenly aware of the insidiousness of this issue.
She paused and said in an unassuming tone: "Our company has always attached great importance to the protection of copyrights and patents. In addition to having the EU's e-certification and the EU's PD directive for building products, all of the company's products have also obtained many EU approvals. Patent certificates issued by the national patent offices of countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands and other countries, including Spain of course. You can check photos of all certificates on our official website. Our partners have always been enthusiastic about our products They all have very high reviews. There may be individual small companies that will imitate our products. If you see such a company, I hope you can tell us as soon as possible."
There was a look of approval on Zhang Yingfang's face, which was noticed by Zhang Yingfei beside her.
When Xiao Wu was about to ask her the next question, Zhang Yingfei suddenly stopped him: "Let me ask her a few questions."
Xiao Wu glanced at Zhang Yingfang awkwardly, but Zhang Yingfang had no expression on her face and was noncommittal to Zhang Yingfei's suggestion.
Seeing that Zhang Yingfang didn't speak, Xiao Wu could only sit back in his chair.
Zhang Yingfei had already seen that Zhang Yingfang was interested in Dong Yiqing. He originally had no objection to Dong Yiqing, but because Zhang Yingfang rejected several candidates he recommended yesterday, he decided to disrupt Huang Dong Yiqing's interview.
"Let me ask you a few general questions first." Zhang Yingfei asked a question with a smile, and then stared at Dong Yiqing's mouth.
As the saying goes, the more you fear, the more likely it will come. The first problem is Dong Yiqing's shortcomings. She was unfamiliar with this part of the content, and since the materials were stolen from her suitcase last night, she couldn't review them, so she answered awkwardly.
She had never encountered the content of the second question in the materials. She racked her brains for a long time and couldn't figure it out. In the end, she could only shake her head in embarrassment.
Zhang Yingfei felt very proud when she saw Dong Yiqing's timidity, and raised several technical issues in one go. Dong Yiqing's shortcomings in her hasty preparation were suddenly exposed. She stood there thinking for a long time, unable to do anything. answer.
"If a customer asks you such a simple question and you can't answer it, what about the complicated one? Our company has such a good image and such good products, aren't we all delayed by you? Can you shoulder this responsibility? ?" Zhang Yingfei reprimanded sternly, "Don't you blush if you want to apply for a translator at your level? You are simply overestimating your abilities! How ridiculous!"
Dong Yiqing's face turned red and white. She had never had this kind of experience since she was a child, and she had never heard anyone say that to her. She wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know how to speak. She wanted to turn around and leave, but her feet seemed to be stuck to the floor, unable to move.
There was a sudden ringing in her ears, and for a moment she couldn't hear what others were saying.
"If you ask me, people like you are not qualified to come..." Zhang Yingfei was still chattering, and he saw Zhang Yingfang standing up with a sinking face next to him, staring at Zhang Yingfei with a majestic expression. On his face, he said word by word: "Have you said enough?"
Zhang Yingfei didn't expect Zhang Yingfang to suddenly question him. His mouth opened and closed like a fish breathing, but he didn't say a word.
Zhang Yingfang had been observing Dong Yiqing's reaction. The questions Zhang Yingfei asked were what she planned to ask, so she did not interrupt him. She had already seen Dong Yiqing's professional deficiencies from Dong Yiqing's embarrassment, but somehow she didn't dislike the tall girl in front of her. After struggling for a few minutes, she decisively interrupted Zhang Yingfei's scolding.
"Ask questions if you have any. Don't talk about irrelevant things." Zhang Yingfang glanced at the other examiners and asked, "Do you still have any questions?"
Several other examiners symbolically asked Dong Yiqing a few more translation questions, and Dong Yiqing responded in a confused manner.
Just when she thought the interview was over, a female examiner who had been silent suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Zhang Shuo?"
Dong Yiqing was stunned for two seconds and replied: "We are just ordinary classmates. We went to the preparatory course of Han University together."
"Aren't you guys and girls friends?" The female examiner looked very doubtful of her answer.
Dong Yiqing smiled bitterly, shook her head, and said firmly: "No."
The female examiner lowered her head and muttered, seeming to have a lot of opinions about her answer.
Zhang Yingfang looked at the frustrated Dong Yiqing: "Thank you for coming to the interview today. The results of the interview will be notified to you by phone before 14:00 this afternoon. You can leave now."
Dong Yiqing suppressed a smile, bowed lightly to Zhang Yingfang, and fled the room as fast as she could.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she ran into Zhang Shuo waiting outside the door.
Zhang Shuo saw her eyes were red and wondered what happened, so he asked anxiously: "How is it? Did it go well?"
Dong Yiqing glanced at him and walked out of the company door without saying a word.
Zhang Shuo looked at her back with a stern expression, disappointment in his eyes.
"Then when will you know the result of the interview? When will you return to Hannover? Hello? Are you still listening to me?" Lu Wei's words brought Dong Yiqing's thoughts back.
"Ah, come back, I'm going to buy a ticket right now. Is there anything wrong with you being in such a hurry to see me?" Dong Yiqing asked curiously.
"Do you remember what I told you before that I wanted to run for the next student union president?"
"Remember. What's wrong?"
"In order to run for the election, I need to set up a study support group. I think your study has always been very good, and I would like to ask you to be the leader of this study group. I wonder if you are interested?"
Dong Yiqing was not very keen on this kind of thing, but her relationship with Lu Wei had always been good, and Lu Wei had introduced her to part-time work before, so she couldn't bear to refuse Lu Wei's invitation directly.
She thought for a while and said, "I have just reached the advanced level. I will reply to you after I get used to it, okay?"
Lu Wei heard her hesitation, but she also understood Dong Yiqing's temper, and suddenly asked: "What do you think of Dong Qiangqiang?"
"What 'how'?" Dong Yiqing felt that this question seemed to have profound meaning, "Do you want to ask him if he has a girlfriend?"
"Don't make trouble." Lu Wei scolded, "I asked this for a best friend of mine. She saw Dong Qiangqiang at the orientation party and thought he looked pretty good. What do you think?"
Dong Yiqing didn't know how to answer this question. She remembered that Dong Qiangqiang lent her 4,000 marks, and suddenly said: "He is a very enthusiastic person."
"Enthusiasm?" Lu Wei thought this conclusion was strange, "How did you tell?"
Dong Yiqing saw that the coffee in the coffee cup had stopped at some point and turned into a crying face. She sighed softly and stood up: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. I have to catch the train. If you have anything to do, go back and talk."
She pulled her suitcase and walked towards the ticket vending machine at the train station.
At 14 o'clock, Dong Qiangqiang saw a man in sportswear standing at the door of KFC with his back to him. He quickly stepped forward and said loudly behind the man: "Hello, Hans."
The man turned around and saw Dong Qiangqiang, with a happy look on his face: "Hello, Dong Qiangqiang. I have good news to tell you."
Dong Yiqing was sitting on the ie high-speed train, looking at the scenery outside the window, alone in a daze.
Her cell phone rang suddenly. After the call was connected, a female voice came from the receiver: "Is this Ms. Dong Yiqing?"
