Chapter 23 Tom has news that there is work to do
"Little girl, you're already thinking about being lazy at such a young age." Li Kang pinched her little nose, looking at the girl's cute pouting face, he couldn't bear to refuse.

Gently cover Meixia's face with a warm, wet towel.

Meixia closed her eyes slightly, looking very happy.

From Li Kang's perspective, Meixia's skin is really good, apart from her skin color.

My skin is firm and smooth, and I have never had any acne even though I have eaten spicy food since I was a child.

She has a standard oval face and natural, delicate eyebrows.

His tanned skin was a slight downgrade, and he was about 165cm tall. “He should be able to grow a few more centimeters.”

Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming came in and happened to see this scene.

He immediately laughed at her, "Meixia, you are already so old, and you still need Brother Kang to wash your face. Aren't you ashamed~"

Lin Meixia's face flushed red as she complained to Li Kang, "Brother Kang, look, they are laughing at me."

Li Kang quickly wiped her clean, "Stop laughing at Meixia, have you washed your face?"

"Not yet, we just came here to wash our faces."

Li Kang poured out the water in the basin, directly drew a basin of cool well water, and splashed his face with the cold water.

Washing your face only takes a dozen seconds.

"Do you want to take a hot or cold shower?"

"Brother Kang, let's take a cold shower too. It's quite hot during the day."

Beep, beep!

The pager in Li Kang's pocket rang.

Liu Jun outside heard the voice and followed over as if he had smelled the body fragrance of a beautiful woman.

"What's that sound? I think I heard a pager. Does anyone have a pager?"

"It's mine," Li Kang took out the pager in front of him.

I have no idea how attractive a pager is.

Liu Jun snatched it from him and played with it carefully in his hands, as if he had found a treasure.

"You actually have a pager. This thing is so expensive. Li Kang, where did you get it?"

The message above was in English and Liu Jun couldn't understand it.

A little disappointed. It would have been better if it was a Chinese version.

"It's a pity that it's in English. It's useless. Only people who know English can understand it."

Li Kang was not angry when Liu Jun snatched his pager away, as he saw that the other party was just curious about this thing.

A BB machine has the same shocking power as a BMW 10 years ago.

This thing can only be used in big cities. Outside the city, you can't receive any information. And it can only receive one-way.

But Liu Jun still likes it very much. He hangs it around his waist and looks very impressive when he goes out.

"Uncle, please give it back to Brother Kang. This belongs to Brother Kang!"

"How dare you be so mean to your uncle? Give it to me. I just want to take a look. Who cares about this thing?"

Li Kang took the pager, and Liu Lang explained to Liu Jun: "This was given to Brother Kang by a foreigner we met in Shanghai."

"Yeah yeah."

Li Kang didn't say anything, but someone explained for him.

"Brother Kang is amazing. He can even speak English to foreigners, just as fluently as we do."

"The foreigner saw how capable Kang was and gave him a pager."

Liu Lang suggested to Liu Jun: "Uncle, if you want one too, you can try to find a foreigner. Maybe he will give you one."

Liu Jun laughed and scolded: "If I had that ability, I would still be working in this small factory now! I would have gone to work for a foreign company and made a lot of money!"

Li Kang looked at the message on the pager and asked Liu Jun, "Brother Jun, where is Portman?"

"Portman? Why are you asking that?"

"Uncle, Brother Kang is asking you, do you know?"

Liu Jun felt quite aggrieved that his uncle was not as good as an older brother he met on the street.

"Hmph~"

"I grew up in Shanghai, how could I not know."

"Portman is right over there on Nanjing Road, and that's where I'm going to take you today." He asked Li Kang, "Why are you going to Portman?"

Li Kang didn't really want to say that it was Tom who invited him.

After all, being a translator is not something particularly high-end.

He doesn't look like a certain reporter.

Often opens with 'My friend Obama had ever said to me'

"my sister Piao"

“I once talked to Clinton at the dinner table“

"..."

Really unnecessary.

Meixia seemed a little excited and said, "It must be that foreigner who is looking for Brother Kang and wants you to help, right? Brother Kang." She was secretly happy that she guessed it right.

Li Kang's mouth twitched slightly, "It's not a favor, he just asked me to go and take a look." He thought, "Tom really thinks highly of me. He gave me the news only the next day."

He wanted to cancel it. "Aren't we going to play today? I'm going to refuse this time."

Liu Jun was still in shock. The income from working as an interpreter for foreigners was incredibly high.

And he had never been to a place like Portman.

"How can I refuse? We're just on the way."

He turned to Lin Meixia and the others and said, "You guys also want to see what the interior of a tall, high-end office building looks like, right?"

Lin Meixia and the other two nodded vigorously.

"See? We won't disturb you. Just do your thing and we'll just hang out inside."

"Then I'll call him back."

There is Tom's number on the pager.

Tom was very happy to receive Li Kang's call, "Li, thank you very much for coming to help me. Don't be stressed, your English is good enough. And we have another translator, you two can come together."

"As for the pay, don't worry. It starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 12 p.m., two hours for 1,000 yuan. If there is any more in the afternoon, it will be charged separately. There is also lunch at noon."

"Please rest assured, we will treat you well enough."

Liu Jun put his ear to the other side of the phone, trying to hear what the foreigner was saying.

After finishing the conversation quickly, Li Kang hung up the phone.

"Why is it all in English? What did you talk about just now? Did he say how much you would be paid for helping?"

Li Kang first extended two fingers, and then extended another finger.

I didn't say anything else and let him guess for himself.

"He asked me to be there at ten o'clock. Will we be there in time?"

"It's only a little after six now, we can definitely make it in time."

"You have breakfast first."

After Li Kang left, Liu Jun stood there and counted on his fingers, "Two fingers, starting at ten o'clock, that must be two hours;

One finger, 100 bucks? One hundred bucks for two hours? "

"Oh my god! One hundred bucks for two hours! Two hundred bucks for four hours, at least six thousand bucks a month!"

When Li Kang heard Liu Jun's roar, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Translators don’t always have work to do every day, and to do large-scale business translations, they need to be well prepared in advance.

The organizer needs to provide a manuscript, or the translator needs to take the initiative to look up information on the relevant industry.

Otherwise, sometimes the translation will be irrelevant, and in serious cases it may even affect the results of business negotiations.

Sometimes if the translation is not good, you may be scolded by the employer.

Li Kang had some experience in business translation in his previous life, including working for large companies, foreign trade negotiations, etc.

His main job is to be a translator in the foreign affairs department, and he is a civil servant.

Normally he is just a mascot, with little work, little money and an easy job.

Go out and make extra money when you have time.

My resume is OK. I am confident that I can handle a business communication.
