Sorry guys. I just started classes again and I've been messing up my posts. Sorry for the lateness. I'm going to schedule these earlier so we don't miss them anymore. By the way, if you notice any links breaking on any of the posts, please tell me so I can fix them.
Thanks and enjoy!
Zhang Shanxue had already begun performing her duties while the other new hires were undergoing intense job training sessions. Since the conference couldn’t wait and a great number of scripts were endlessly being delivered to the Convention Center, Solomon’s work could not be delayed. Hence she was taken to a closed office the first day of work.
She was extremely uncomfortable and afraid that perhaps she had been caught in a scam, but thought better of it. She was at the famous International Convention Center afterall. Perhaps it was Tang Shuoran’s way of getting revenge at her? While she was buried in her thoughts, two knocks sounded from the other side of the door. She nervously stood and saw Tang Shuoran steadily walked in. He was hardly using the thing in his hands——the pole? bat? stick?
Tang Shuoran did not use his white cane again after stepping into the office, since he was intimately familiar with the layout of his office. He walked in directly and reached the desk after 5 or 6 steps. He bent a little bit and walked to the side for two steps, paused, sat down right on his own chair. He casually moved the white cane to the side, cleared his throat, and said: “Now we can start. “
He took off his sunglasses while he was talking. She was unprepared for it and became nervous. She saw his eyes which were not very different at all. Suddenly, Zhang Shanxue felt thirsty. She looked at his pitch black eyes, like the bottom of the lake where no light could escape. So she swallowed her saliva and subconsciously spoke: “I really want a drink…”
Her heart was rapidly beating. Oh my god, this man, he just frowned slightly. She had already forgotten the curses for him that was in her mind a moment ago. Now her mind was only filled with questions and some sympathy. How could this excellent man be so-----blind?
She had done enough research about this man before. She knew that he was known all over the translation industry. It was no wonder that if you mentioned the name “God Solomon” at any international conferences everybody would recognize who it was~~she sat on her seat like a fool, without any idea of what to do. Something even more surprising happened, Tang Shouran smiled and continued to “stare” at her, but his hands kept moving. He reached into the drawer and pulled out a small bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zhang Shanxue: “Remember to bring in a cup next time.”
Zhang Shanxue nodded. She was tried to speak, but this man quickly became very serious. His face did not show a trace of a smile, but still fascinated Zhang Shanxue because his frowning eyebrows were still tight with a hint of sadness. Zhang Shanxue’s heart was jumping in her chest as if it was trying to burst out. She blushed at first before calming down. She admitted it in her mind: “Damn it, this is absolutely—falling in love at first sight, isn’t it!? “
Her romantic delusions was interrupted by Tang Shuoran: “Ms. Zhang, you speak Chinese with an accent. You need to practice diligently. You must pass qualification test in Mandarin Chinese rank 1, level A.”
Zhang Shanxue was so angry she felt like vomiting blood. She had ignored a young girl’s feelings of love completely: “What? Rank 1, level A? Don’t think that I don’t know the standards even though I don’t attend a teacher’s college. Even the language teachers only require a qualification of rank 2, level A. Rank 1 level A? That’s the standard for a conference master of ceremonies….”
“My staff must be at 100% perfection!” Tang Shuoran said coldly.
“I only need to make sure that you understand what I’m reading. It’s enough for a rank 2, level A. You’re just too picky! “
Tang Shuoran said unflinchingly: “I would not have hired you if you gave me this answer in interview! “
“It turn out it’s you who hired me! Then you can fire me now!”
Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two became very awkward. What were they even arguing about! Was this the kind of conversation appropriate for work?
Tang Shuoran took a breath and waved his hand: “You must take the qualification exam, but for now just read….”
“Then wouldn’t it be okay if I pass rank 2, level A? “ Zhang Shanxue was bargaining.
“Rank 1, level A. This is the last time I’m going to say it.”
Zhang Shanxue was just asking for it. She took one script from the table and began to read: “A harmonic society as described by Socialists is an ideal society that mankind has consistently pursued. Marxist parties continuously pursued this ideal society. There have been many thoughts about social harmony throughout world history.”
“Stop! “
