Chapter Thirty-Eight
Pang Hua came calling and asked if she wanted him to help introduce an internship unit.
She returned a phone call and said she had found a translation agency, and there was an additional labor fee for professional English translation.
Dad suddenly woke up and remembered the internship thing, hurriedly called the dormitory, no one; pager, left a message saying that the internship is easy to solve.
Chen Huaisheng called back after a minute and said it's all arranged, details see letter.
In the second month of internship, I completed one simultaneous interpretation and two contract translations without any problems. Especially for the on-site interpretation, the translation agency only took 30% of the introduction fee and invoicing costs, which was very generous. After that, business went smoothly, and even gained a small reputation.
In the third month of internship, Chen Huai-cheng received his first formal salary in his life. He used all the income from translation to buy a cheap and discounted straight-board mobile phone - S city strangely refused pagers and forced consumers to buy mobile phones.
Then Chen Huiyang quit her part-time job at the coffee shop, only to find out that Arthur had already quit. Now she spends eight hours a day at the translation agency, and of course, her salary has been increased to 800 yuan again.
It's much more convenient for me to keep in touch with my family now.

"Are you saying this foreign liquor is fake?" And the beauty's 'chest'... He glanced at the smiling woman with a flirtatious face, heaven knows if she was really eighteen as she claimed, and that bra might be padded...
"Whatever, as long as it's fun."
"Hmm, my home tutor said that in this place, most of the liquor is fake, the girls' 'breasts' are also fake, and if the handsome guys aren't fake, they're... ducks."
"Awesome! It's really poisonous!" Another little brat looked at the cup in his hand for a long time before putting it down. Fake? No way, maybe it's real! "Uh, how do you tell if the padding is natural or not? Does your big sister know?"
Chen Huaicheng had indeed said that, and even found before-and-after makeup comparison photos for him. The most terrifying thing was that he had "detailedly introduced" the process of plastic surgery and scars, which shocked him so much that he didn't have a girlfriend for several years. After hesitating for a moment, Yu Weng decided to save his friend from these fake eyelashes, so he told him the original words and what he later found out himself, and said it quite thoroughly.
The other two little kids who came out together were expressionless for a long time.
"Hmm, let's not order a second bottle," No Chinese label! The lighting is a bit dim and the anti-counterfeit mark and signature are unclear, but there's only one layer of packaging on the mouth of the bottle... it just doesn't look authentic! "What's the worst that could happen... we can just exchange it for another drink?"
"How about we change to another beer?"
"It's easy to get drunk when drinking mixed drinks."
"Or a 'chicken' cocktail?"
"Just don't order anything like Long Island Iced Tea."
“……”
“……”
"Hey, otherwise, why don't you get your elder sister out to meet us? She knows a lot..."
"Uh-huh! I'll send her a message and ask if she has any recommended places."
Not long after, Chen Huisheng replied with a text message, mentioning a location, but his tone was not very certain.
"Let's go take a look next time then."
"Alright."
"Shall we go find Big Sister together?"
"Not necessarily, she now has a job, doing translation on the one hand and preparing for the judicial examination on the other. However, she is not happy to be a lawyer or enter the judicial system, I've heard her say that she wants to open... an online virtual store selling beauty cosmetics."
"On the web?"
"That's amazing."
These little rascals actually didn't have the guts to mess around, at most they wouldn't back down in a verbal fight, but if they accidentally ran into someone from the pleasure quarters, they'd be scared off.
Juwu Ang prepared himself psychologically for half a day, preparing to be criticized harshly, and mustered up the courage to ask Chen Huaicheng to "identify" together.
Chen Hua Sheng received the phone call just as the class monitor was gathering everyone to discuss the graduation party, and after some discussion, they finally settled on a free public park.
It's all... gone!
Perhaps because she had some spare money and was feeling confident, Chen Hua Sheng readily agreed to meet Ju Yu Ang at a bar restaurant that seemed to have left a good impression on her - this was after she had inquired about the place through the 114 directory assistance hotline, taken two rounds of public transportation, and walked quite a bit out of her way to confirm the location.
Just for the sake of a few kids calling her "sister", she personally took action to "teach" them for free!
……
To be honest, my mom's company is of medium size, and after restructuring, it has been operating for another 7 or 8 years. The boss can be considered a mediocre entrepreneur, but without foundation, he still can't get rid of the mediocre style. The friends he 'gets along' with are also around this level, nicknamed: small p kids.
French-English-Chinese menu, the simple meals here are expensive and not very good, so Chen Huasheng asked everyone to come over for a full meal. Sure enough, the little ones saw the prices on the menu, blinked their eyes, looked at Chen Huasheng, and lowered their heads to continue studying.
Chen Huisheng ordered a late-night ice wine for herself and the three awkward young men - even if she had to pay out of her own pocket, she could afford it - then waited for the live performance.
"Sister, would you mind if we smoke?" a kid with several band-aids on his forehead asked cautiously.
Chen Hua raised Erlang's leg with a relaxed expression, took a look at the cigarette brand, and it was okay, not too strong. So she hooked her finger, pulled out a cigarette, and that little guy was stunned on the spot. Ju Yu saw the situation immediately grabbed the lighter and kindly lit it for her.
In her previous life, there was a period of time when she was really depressed and suppressed, so she started to have the bad habit of smoking. But not long after that, due to an illness, she completely quit, and later on, at most occasionally touched one or two cigarettes, until the end of her life... Sometimes thinking about those six months living in a nursing home, all sorts of feelings, but overall, it wasn't very sad, knowing that her lifespan was almost over, there was even a sense of calmness...
Exhaling a thin mist, Chen Huan was certain that he would never fall in love with cigarettes this lifetime, or perhaps because things were going smoothly now and there was no reason to be melancholic, so there was no need for cigarettes to alleviate his worries.
A Southeast Asian trio from the Philippines belt out an English song while swaying to the music rhythm.
Sings unexpectedly well.
Consumption is not about low quality and high price either.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the environment is clean.
"Have you taken the CET-6?"
"Done! Got an excellent grade!" Ju Yu'ang was extremely pleased. He had worked hard for two years in college and it was all worth it!
"Alright, you've got a good six months ahead of you, and then it's the judicial exam. I'll list out the reference books, and we can start studying next summer vacation." She opened her bag, rummaged through it, and pulled out a large file folder, which contained... a thick stack of notes and photocopies. "These are some notes that might still be useful two years from now, take them. Remember to pass the exam in one try."
"...Jū Yǔ'áng's face turned green with rage, and he pounded his chest in frustration. Who knew this woman was trouble! Why hadn't he learned his lesson yet!"
