Although Xia Ming wore an Amiable expression, the more he acted this way, the warier Wang Tao became.
"No need, I don't have time." Wang Tao waved his hand impatiently.
At this moment, Lin Wanqing suddenly glared at Wang Tao. This made Wang Tao's heart jolt, and he thought, "Crap."
He knew this was a sign that Lin Wanqing was angry. How could he forget that Lin Wanqing had just been asking Xia Ming questions? This made Wang Tao feel a bit Scared.
"Are you really only Level 4 English?" Lin Wanqing asked.
Lin Wanqing asked this simply to confirm. If Xia Ming really was only Level 4 English, she would leave and ignore him further. Their company currently needed a translator, especially an English translator. Moreover, merely Level 8 English wasn't enough; the person also needed to speak fluently and know Professional Terminology. Finding such a person was indeed difficult.
"Yeah, I am indeed Level 4 English." Xia Ming showed a Harmless-looking smile.
"President Lin, I told you so. His studies were always poor, and he's extremely lazy about everything. I think we should go look over there," Wang Tao couldn't help saying.
Because of the Grudge formed in university, seeing Xia Ming fallen to such a state, Wang Tao naturally didn't want Xia Ming to join Qingya Group. He wanted Xia Ming to see clearly: you might have been impressive back then, but after entering society, you're nothing. So, Wang Tao kept speaking ill of him in front of Lin Wanqing.
His goal was to leave a bad impression of Xia Ming in Lin Wanqing's mind.
But Lin Wanqing was perceptive; she could tell at a glance that Wang Tao and Xia Ming didn't seem to get along well. However, hearing Xia Ming's words, Lin Wanqing felt slightly disappointed.
"Perhaps you don't meet our company's requirements."
Lin Wanqing was politely rejecting him. Seeing this, Wang Tao immediately beamed with joy. He glared fiercely at Xia Ming, slightly tilting his chin up as if in provocation.
Hearing this, Xia Ming grew anxious. Just as he was getting anxious, a didi sound suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Host Task: Host must enter the company of the beautiful woman before you. System reward: 100 Honor Points for Host. If Host fails, System will designate Host as unqualified, and System will proceed with Host's Humane Destruction. Host is advised to Persevere."
"What the heck? A System Task?"
The sudden System Task stunned Xia Ming. He quickly asked inwardly, "How did the task come so suddenly? If I really can't complete it? Will I really face Humane Destruction?"
"Correct."
Suddenly, Xia Ming was frantic. He just wanted to be an Employee, Muddle along sitting in an office every day. If he faced Humane Destruction, he certainly wouldn't be happy about it.
Seeing Lin Wanqing turning to leave, Xia Ming quickly shouted loudly.
"Wait, I forgot to tell you!"
Xia Ming spoke rapidly, "Although I'm Level 4 English, my English proficiency definitely exceeds Level 8! Conversing with foreigners is absolutely no problem, and I also know a lot of Professional Terminology..."
Swish!
When Xia Ming uttered the words 'Professional Terminology', Lin Wanqing, who had already turned to leave, suddenly stopped. She looked at Xia Ming, her exquisite face holding an indescribable beauty. She asked doubtfully, "Is what you're saying true?"
"Of course, it's true!" Xia Ming quickly explained.
"President Lin, don't let him fool you! This guy lies through his teeth! I know his English level very well, President Lin!" Wang Tao heard this and instantly grew anxious, quickly trying to explain.
Xia Ming immediately became somewhat angry, saying, "Wang Tao, what do you mean? What do you mean I lie through my teeth? It makes me sound like I have no Class. Besides, how do you know my English level? Are you a Roundworm in my stomach? I say I'm Level 8 English, you insist I'm Level 4. Are people like you even possible?"
For a moment, Xia Ming was genuinely angry, and he couldn't help glaring fiercely at Wang Tao.
"President Lin, you have to believe me!" Wang Tao earnestly persuaded. But seeing Lin Wanqing's slightly displeased expression, Wang Tao's eyes darted, and he immediately said, "President Lin, how about this: The proof is in the pudding. Since he claims he's Level 8 English and knows lots of professional terms, why don't we test him?"
Lin Wanqing also had some doubts about Xia Ming's words. After all, achieving Level 8 English wasn't something just anyone could do. As for specialized vocabulary, it required memorizing a large number of terms, which heavily tested one's memory.
Seeing Lin Wanqing remain silent, Wang Tao quickly added, "President Lin, let me test him for you."
Thinking this, Wang Tao took out his phone. His eyes darted around as he began searching online. Phones these days were practically computers, very advanced; you could find many things on them, making it extremely convenient. It could truly be called the era of the smartphone.
After searching for a while, Wang Tao finally found an article with rather obscure vocabulary. It was an article about Machinery, containing many highly specialized terms, and some vocabulary used was quite uncommon. It could be said that ordinary people wouldn't understand this article; even some professionals would need to spend a significant amount of time on it.
Wang Tao looked at the article and smirked inwardly: "Hmph, want to join Qingya Group? You should take a good look at what kind of person you really are."
Thinking this, Wang Tao smiled.
Xia Ming saw Wang Tao's Smirk and knew he was up to no good.
However, he wasn't afraid. He knew his own situation better than anyone.
"Xia Ming, here's an article. Since you claim to be Level 8 English and know many professional terms, if you're telling the truth, then this article should pose no difficulty for you. So, go ahead and translate this article." Wang Tao said with a Bossy manner, looking at Xia Ming. In his view, there wasn't the slightest chance Xia Ming could enter Qingya Group.
He knew exactly what kind of Behavior Xia Ming was capable of.
Xia Ming glanced casually at Wang Tao but didn't take the phone. Instead, he said dismissively, "You tell me to do something, and I just do it? Wouldn't I Lose face then?"
Xia Ming's words made Wang Tao's face turn Livid. If Lin Wanqing hadn't been right there, he feared he wouldn't be able to stop himself from Flaring up on the spot. Wang Tao suppressed his anger and looked towards Lin Wanqing.
"How about this: if you can translate this article, I will hire you on the spot, with a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan. How about it?"
Lin Wanqing, standing beside them, took Wang Tao's phone, glanced at the article inside, and asked.
"Alright, President Lin! You said it yourself, ten thousand yuan a month! You can't go back on your word!" Xia Ming's eyes lit up. Ten thousand yuan! This was a Dreamed of opportunity! Many university graduates only earned around two thousand yuan a month after starting work. If he could get this ten-thousand-yuan job, it was the kind of good fortune that's Hard to find even with a lantern!
Lin Wanqing was slightly Exasperated. Would she go back on her word? No matter what, she was the president of Qingya Group; her word was final. How could she possibly regret it?
Wang Tao, standing nearby, was also Perceptive. Seeing Lin Wanqing's pretty face stiffen, he knew what was wrong. He immediately pointed at Xia Ming and furiously scolded, "Xia Ming, take a look at yourself! Who is President Lin? She's the Chairman of Qingya Group! Do you think everyone is like you, a Fickle person?"
After saying this, Wang Tao was almost ecstatic. This is perfect! Xia Ming practically stuck his face out for me to slap! And I even got to perform well in front of Lin Wanqing. Maybe Lin Wanqing will even See me in a new light now!
He, Wang Tao, had been Coveting Lin Wanqing greatly for a long time. Who wouldn't be moved by such a beauty? Besides, he wasn't a Eunuch. Facing such a woman, he naturally had to present his best side. However, Lin Wanqing had always Treated him coldly.
"Alright, I'll translate it now."
Xia Ming took the phone and glanced at it. Seeing Xia Ming's Calm demeanor, Wang Tao sneered inwardly, "Keep pretending! Keep putting on airs! Usually, you can't even write a single word, and now you're trying to Act like a big shot? Today, I'll see how you translate this article. If you can't, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!"
After looking for a few seconds, Xia Ming said, "This is an article about Mechanical machinery, discussing mechanical design. It's an applied technical science that meets human needs by designing new products and improving old ones. It involves various fields of engineering technology, mainly studying product dimensions..."
Xia Ming began translating. As he translated, Wang Tao was left stunned on the spot. By the end, he was drenched in sweat, staring at Xia Ming with utter shock.
"How is this possible? How could this be possible? How could he translate such a difficult article? This was an article he had once seen online, full of Professional Terminology, and the vocabulary was extremely obscure and used extensively. How could he possibly translate it? Even some professional experts couldn't translate it as Fluently as Xia Ming!"
"This kid must have seen this article somewhere before! That must be it!"
Wang Tao simply couldn't believe Xia Ming could translate this article. How could he not know Xia Ming's English level? Moreover, Xia Ming's English was terrible before graduation. How could he possibly recognize so many professional terms just a few days after graduation?
This is simply impossible, right?
Conversely, Lin Wanqing, standing beside them, looked at Xia Ming with pleasant surprise written all over her face. Right now, their company truly needed a highly specialized professional, especially in English. However, such personnel were too hard to find. She had been searching for days without success. Although she had found some professionals, they clearly didn't meet their requirements.
However, Xia Ming gave Lin Wanqing hope.
"Excellent. It's you then. From now on, you are an Employee of Qingya Group."
