Chapter 16

exactly ten in the morning.

Various ppts are constantly flashing on the projection screen in the meeting room, and the leader of group E standing beside him is also giving an introduction based on the content on the ppt.

The content on the slides was complicated and numerous, and everyone in the conference room was listening intently, but Song Rin, who was sitting on the side seat, was completely out of shape, and kept looking down the table, looking at the time on the phone screen.

Qiao Heng's flight took off at twelve o'clock at noon, and there was not much time left for Song Rin to catch up as the flight needed to be scheduled an hour earlier.

The team leader of Group E was still talking non-stop on the slides, and he stumbled throughout the weekly report. Song Rin was inexplicably agitated. He put away his mobile phone and was about to speak when the chief Shang Luo Yi suddenly called his name.

"Chief Song," Luo Yi put down her pen, turned her head to look at Song Rin, and asked, "What do you think of the team leadership this time?"

Luo Yi's tone was very ordinary, and she even looked at her with a gentle smile, but it was such a friendly expression and words that made Song Rin's heart skip a beat.

It's a reminder that being caught deserting at work by your boss is not a good thing.

Song Rin sat upright reflexively, glanced at the slides, and said unhurriedly: "The mistake this time is indeed the fault of the organizer. Since translators are to be allocated according to language, they should be prepared to divide the area. Make sure the reception is accurate and there is no crosstalk."

Speaking of this, Song Rin raised her eyebrows, looked straight at the leader of Team E, and turned the conversation with seriousness: "But we also have to bear certain responsibilities. As a simultaneous interpreter, after entering the simultaneous interpretation box The first thing I did was to check the equipment and the environment, two translators of different languages ​​were arranged together, but without any sound insulation measures, at this time, didn’t you think about the possibility of crosstalk?”

When speaking, Song Rin's face was not angry or impatient, and even the speed of his speech was as soothing as usual, but the sharpness in his eyes was scary.

The team leader of Group E was speechless when asked, his hand holding the controller was trembling slightly, and his messy breath sprayed on the microphone, making a subtle and noisy sound.

He flustered and remained silent, and Song Rin also remained silent, looking at her questioningly, as if he wanted to find out why.

The other team leaders sitting on both sides of the table kept silent, not daring to help to defend themselves, for fear that one accidentally burned themselves, so they could only exchange glances underneath.

The meeting room suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

At this time, Luo Yi, as the leader, coughed in a timely manner, and waved his hand to let the leader of Group E end the slide show.

"Chief Song is right. If you had discovered and raised this issue before the seminar, there would be no crosstalk in this seminar. Fortunately, the organizer did not pursue it this time, otherwise you would have to bear the burden Responsibility goes beyond writing reflective reports.”

When it came to the end, Luo Yi deliberately slowed down her tone, with a hint of ridicule to ease the atmosphere.

The team leader of group E is also smart, he will go down the steps, and after closing the slides, he will directly admit mistakes, make guarantees, etc. with a microphone on the stage.

He didn't make meaningless excuses, but directly admitted his mistake, which made Song Rin very satisfied, so he withdrew his gaze, followed Luo Yi's intentions, said a few words of reminders, and settled the matter overturned.

According to the practice of the weekly meeting, after the last group report, the chief of the department should make a summary and report to the GM who came to the meeting for the next week's arrangement.

But because Song Rin is new to the post, and the information of the former chief has not been fully sorted out and handed over, this step will be omitted this time. submit the form.

In the end, this weekly meeting ended with Luo Yi's official encouragement.

As soon as everyone was taking a break, Song Rin eagerly took his mobile phone to check the time, but just as he turned on the screen, what jumped into his eyes was not the main time, but the message Qiao Heng sent him.

——Qiao Heng: Xiao Lin, I'm boarding the plane. Grandpa is still in China, please take care of him.

Looking at the message, Song Rin's hands froze, and she fell back to her seat in a daze.He didn't open the phone, but just stared at the message displayed on the screen, reading it word by word, just like reading the wedding invitation sent by Qiao Heng back then.

It was also at a similar time period, in a similar conference room, but the only difference is Song Rin's reaction after seeing the news now.

In fact, whether it is the marriage or the separation this time, it all shows that the distance between the two is widening and the road of life is getting farther and farther.But unlike before, for this separation, Song Rin did not suffer as much pain as expected.

On the contrary, from the moment he saw the news until now, his mood was surprisingly calm, and there was only a slight sense of loss and emptiness in his heart, as if he was just sending away an old friend, not someone he had secretly loved for many years.

Song Rin read that sentence over and over again, trying to find out the ups and downs of his emotions, but no matter how he looked at it, his emotions were still calm.

This puzzled him.

In his confusion, he even began to wonder if it was himself who was watching the news.If it is true, how could he be so calm, that is the person he has been secretly in love with for more than ten years, not to mention great sorrow, but it shouldn't be so indifferent.

Although he had already decided to let go after the chat that day, it would take a long time for Song Rin to fade away such a strong feeling that had been honed over a long period of time.But now, less than a week before making that decision, his feelings for Qiao Heng are so dull that he seems to have let go.

The speed was so fast, as if his heart had never been filled with that sweet and sour love.

In just a few minutes, Song Rin's mood was ups and downs like a roller coaster. This emotion beyond self-control made him panic. He jumped up from his seat eagerly as if he was eager to prove something. Regardless of the files to be received, turn around and run out of the meeting room.

But before he ran to the door, a figure came sideways and stopped him.

Song Rin turned her head and saw that it was Luo Yi.

Luo Yi straightened her capable short hair, raised her eyes and said, "Chairman Song is in such a hurry, does he have something important to do?"

Song Rin's mind was filled with anxiety, he nodded as if in a daze: "Yes, I..."

"I want to see Senior Brother Qiao off." Before Song Rin finished speaking, Luo Yi interrupted the call. She glanced at her phone, "But I remember Senior Brother Qiao's flight is at twelve o'clock. It took off a long time ago, Chief Song, did you misread the time?"

took off.

Luo Yi's words woke up Song Rin, he blinked suddenly, and his eyes that were originally blurred gradually focused and became clear again.

Song Rin took out the phone with stiff hands, stared at the time on it, and saw something clearly as if looking at flowers through the fog when the numbers were jumping, and then pulled out a chuckle in the breath of the screen.

Like self-deprecating and sighing.

Seeing the outline of his face reflected on the black screen, Song Lin stretched out his hand to light it up, then neatly crossed out Qiao Heng's message, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I was wrong. I was wrong."

"That's right, it's a good thing I reminded you, otherwise you would have run to the airport in such a stupid way." Luo Yi patted Song Rin's shoulder, "I was checking the time during the meeting just now, thinking of sending him off to the airport." Brother Qiao?"

As soon as he mentioned the meeting just now, Song Rin immediately returned to his senses, and smiled apologetically at Luo Yi: "Yes, I'm really sorry, but I promise there will be no next time."

"It's okay, it's understandable," Luo Yi waved her hands indifferently, "But you should also pay attention, although we are best at multitasking as simultaneous interpreters, we still don't want to use it for things like meetings. After all, it’s not easy for others to sort out information and make reports, isn’t it?”

Multitasking is the most basic requirement for simultaneous interpretation, and it is precisely because of this that Song Rin was able to listen to the report of the leader of Group E while deserting at the meeting just now, so as to answer Luo Luo quickly and accurately. instrument problem.

But such an ability should never be used here, it was Song Rin who made a mistake.

Luo Yi's attitude made Song Rin feel relieved, but at the same time he felt more guilty. He nodded hurriedly: "I know, it's my problem. I will hand in a reflection report then."

Hearing what Song Rin said, Luo Yi burst out laughing, she said helplessly: "What's so easy about it, just pay attention next time, don't be so cautious, just here..."

Dengdeng.

Before Luo Yi finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of the conference room twice. Song Rin followed the sound and turned his head to look, only to find that Li Yuan was standing outside the door.

"Sorry to bother you," Li Yuan walked in and nodded to Song Lin, then turned to Luo Yi and said, "Sister Luo Yi, I have something to tell you."

Hearing that the two had something to talk about, Song Rin hurriedly said, "In this case, I'll go back to the office first."

"No need," Li Yuan stretched out his hand to slightly stop Song Rin, "I just want to discuss with Chief Song."

Hearing that something was related to him, Song Rin paused, turned back and asked, "What is it?"

Li Yuan adjusted his glasses: "It's like this, we have a customer here who needs French translation, but the original translation has something wrong with his body, and all our other translations have gone out. So I wondered if I could transfer someone from Chief Song's department?"

"French translation?" Song Rin quickly filtered the information of the department in his mind, "Our department has it, but there is still a big difference between simultaneous interpretation and translation. I'm afraid they can't do it without experience."

Luo Yi also nodded, she thought for a while, and asked, "Have you signed the contract?"

"Signed," Li Yuan spread his hands helplessly, "Either we send someone here, or we have to pay liquidated damages."

The system of each translation company is different, and Song Rin's company system is the most rigorous among all colleagues. No matter how big or small the translation matter is, they must sign a contract with the other party to ensure the greatest guarantee of the interests of both parties.

Although liquidated damages like this are small, the process to be followed is still complicated. The head office will require a lot of materials to prove that the funds will be allocated after layers of checks.

Song Rin had worked in the head office before, so he knew how complicated it was, so he quickly analyzed the matter while frowning.

The translation department is definitely not good, and the sight translation and interactive translation are focused on Japanese business. Even if they have a good foundation in legal translation, they cannot reach the level of follow-up translation at all. Calculated in this way, on the premise of ensuring the interests of both parties Next, I can only pick people from their simultaneous interpreters.

However, according to Song Rin's impression of reading the personnel information, the law translators in their department have basically never had the experience of follow-up translation. If they are sent out, I'm afraid they will have to submit another reflection report at the meeting next week.

But the company...

"Oh, I've already said, hire more translators in other languages, and don't keep recruiting from Japan Trade." Luo Yi was a little annoyed, she frowned, "Okay, you go first, I'm looking for other branch companies to ask, if it really doesn't work, we'll..."

"Sister Luo Yi, let me go." Song Rin said suddenly.

"Are you going?" Luo Yi's frowning brows were pushed away by astonishment, she was stunned for a few seconds, and then she immediately came back to her senses, "Oh, yes, I forgot, your second foreigner is French, right?"

Song Rin nodded and said yes, he looked at Li Yuan: "I've also been involved in French business before, I don't know if Chief Li is willing to let me go."

"Then how can you not want to? It's my honor." Li Yuan was dumbfounded by his words, "But Chief Song, if you come, the price is not right, I don't know if they are willing or not Add money."

"You don't need them to add, you just follow the original report." Luo Yi smiled and waved her hand, she looked at Song Rin, "I will make up for you with private funds for the rest."

"What are you talking about, and you still allocate private funds," Song Rin smiled and shook his head, "Just treat me to a meal."

Hearing this, Li Yuan followed up and said: "Yes, Sister Luo Yi, Chief Song hasn't had a meal together since he joined the job. Should you invite him once?"

"You man, why are you booing everywhere." Luo Yi gave him an annoyed look, "Okay, please, call Lao Liang and the others, and I'll take you to Clover to eat, okay?"

Yotsuba Song Rin knows that there is a very famous Japanese food shop in Nancheng, which costs thousands of dollars per capita, but the taste is really authentic, and it is a gathering place for many serious Japanese food lovers.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Luo Yi said, Li Yuan immediately raised his eyebrows, and pestered Luo Yi several times to confirm that she would not regret it.

In the end, Luo Yi was afraid of being asked by him, so she found an excuse to have a meeting and escaped.

"Chief Song, you still have face," Li Yuan teased, "When Lao Liang and I joined the job, Sister Luo Yi just found a western restaurant with a price of several hundred to send it away."

"It's me who has face, but you have face. If it weren't for you, she might just find a roadside stall and send it to me." Song Rin packed up the documents, "By the way, send me the information that was turned over Well, let me get acquainted first."

"Oh, okay. I'll send it to you now." Li Yuan nodded, took out his phone, and just turned on the screen but saw something, suddenly looked up at Song Rin, "That Chief Song, are you free now?" ?”

Song Rin glanced at the time and nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. I just received a message from the other party, saying that there are some supplementary materials that need to be explained in person." Li Yuan replied to the message on his mobile phone, and then looked up at Song Rin, "Now you have arrived in the reception room Now, please come over with me."

Follow-up translation is different from simultaneous interpretation. It requires more communication with the translator and translator, and many small details need to be constantly checked and confirmed.

Song Rin has been with him before, so he understands it.He nodded, handed over the meeting materials in his hand to the people below, and followed Li Yuan to the reception room.

There are many reception rooms in the company, and the front desk arranged the other party in the innermost one. When Song Rin arrived at the door, he could only see the backs of the two through the frosted glass.

It can be vaguely distinguished as a man and a woman.

Li Yuan first knocked on the door twice as a signal, and then shouted loudly as soon as he opened the door, "Mr. Gu, Ms. Yang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Having said that, he pulled Song Rin over, led them to the two, and introduced each other: "This is the chief of our simultaneous interpreting department, and he is also the person responsible for valgus with you this time, Song Rin, Chief Song."

"Chief Song, these two are partners, Miss Yang Xunzi and Gu Zhuo, Mr. Gu."
