Chapter 59 Almost caught
Editor-in-chief Lin always knew that she would submit the manuscript in advance. She was very satisfied and checked it out. After asking a few questions, she nodded and passed.
"Xiao Xue, I don't know this English. At most, I will check the format and Chinese. You have to check the English part by yourself."
Because of Liu Xing and Deputy Director Zhen last week, the director took them all to several meetings and asked everyone to strictly check and no more mistakes were made.
Xue Ling nodded and said, "I'll check it back twice."
Editor-in-chief Lin smiled happily and whispered: "I'm relieved. We are a staff member of the news newspaper, and correctness and rigor are the most important."
"I understand." Xue Ling smiled and answered.
Editor-in-chief Lin smiled with satisfaction, took out two candies from under the desk and stuffed them to her.
"This is what my relative bought abroad, so I brought me a bag. The quantity is really not large, so I can only give you two to try it out."
Xue Ling was embarrassed to answer and whispered: "Editor-in-chief, how many children do you want at home? Let's leave it for the children. I'm not a child anymore, so I don't eat candy."
"What are you saying?" Editor-in-chief Lin smiled angrily and said, "Sister, you are obedient and well-behaved, and you secretly bring it to you. There are all children in the family. Can I miss them? Don't worry, take it!"
Seeing that Xue Ling was unable to refuse her affection, she had to quietly accept it and stuff it into her nylon trousers bag.
"Thank you, Sister Lin."
Editor-in-chief Lin winked her and raised her chin: "Let's go, go eat together."
Xue Ling was ready, and hurriedly had lunch, then went back to the office to continue to do translation.
Some of the colleagues stayed in the cafeteria to chat, while others looked for a place to take a nap.
It was not until everyone started to come back that Xue Ling calmly put away the translation, walked to the corner and poured a glass of water, soaked a little tea.
There are a total of more than ten hot water kettles in the office. The old aunt in the kitchen comes to get empty bottles to fill water every more than an hour, so she doesn’t have to worry about not having hot water to drink.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Director Liu asked the accountant to buy two packs of tea so that everyone could make it to drink when they were sleepy, and also allowed everyone to save some use and not to finish it in a few days.
Xue Ling knew that in this era, tea was still scarce, and most families could not afford to drink good tea, and understood the hint of the director's words, so she hadn't drunk these days.
However, she didn't have a break at noon and needed to be highly focused when doing translation. She pinched a small handful, put it in her cup, and poured it full of hot water.
"Xiao Xue, I'm having tea again!" A voice sounded cold or hot.
Xue Ling was startled and turned his head to face Master Mie Jue's gloomy face with a faint smile.
At this time, everyone had just come in, and many people had not sat down yet. They were packing things and chatting. Deputy Director Zhen shouted so loudly that almost all of their colleagues came over.
Forehead?!
Xue Ling felt a little embarrassed, but after all, she was someone who had seen big scenes, so she quickly calmed down and put the thermos steadily down.
Then, she grinned and said, "It's a bit sleepy to make some tea. This is my first time drinking it, and I don't know how it tastes like this. Director Zhen, do you want a cup too?"
Master Mie Jue glared at her faintly and immediately used her most typical tone of eloquence.
"Although this tea is put here, so that everyone can eat and drink, it cannot be wasted. When drinking it normally, try to take as little as possible and leave it to colleagues behind, do you know?"
Xue Ling cursed quietly, responded respectfully, then picked up the cup and left quickly.
This tea is clearly a welfare for all the employees of the newspaper, but why does it seem to be provided by her family for free? It’s really “extinct”!
Other colleagues have a thorough understanding of "Master Mie Jue" and pretend that they didn't hear it, and they all did their own things.
Deputy Director Zhen raised his head and looked at everyone with his chest, before he walked to his office.
Xue Ling sat back to the desk, and Wang Qing next to her gave her a comforting smile of "I pity you".
Liu Xing, opposite, rolled his eyes and whispered: "I will show off my skills in front of us little shrimps all day long! I can't stand it!"
Xue Ling smiled secretly and didn't take any thought to herself.
Editor-in-chief Lin asked her to check the English part again. She was not lazy and took out the manuscript and carefully reviewed each word twice, not even letting go of punctuation, and finally finalized the manuscript.
Today is Saturday. According to normal practice, if the manuscript is prepared in the afternoon, you can get off work early.
However, colleagues rarely leave early because most people have to rush to write articles and sometimes they have to wait for the typewriter. So even if Xue Ling finished his work, he did not leave first.
She took out the translation notebook, took another piece of paper, and did the translation seriously.
She did it very well, and didn't know that there were people talking around her until her foot was gently kicked by Liu Xing.
Xue Ling suddenly looked up and saw Liu Xing opposite him looking behind her, with the corners of his eyes seemingly suggesting something to her.
She instinctively turned her head and met the thoughtful inquiring eyes of "Master Mie Jue".
Xue Ling was nervous and couldn't help but pinch his hands on the English text.
"...Director Zhen, do you have something to do?"
Deputy Director Zhen lowered his head and looked at the notebook in her hand.
"Xue Ling, what is this? What do you do with this English copy for most of the time? Why? Could it be that this is related to your English column?"
Her tone was inquiry and suspicious, and the implication was obvious - she suspected that Xue Ling had not done her job well and made some messes.
Xue Ling quickly pulled away his nervousness and smiled slightly.
"Yes! This is related to my next English column. In the next issue, I plan to do some daily dialogue translations, which are called flexible use of some word meaning transfers. When these English words are stuck together, they must be translated according to the context and cannot be separated from the dialogue environment."
Deputy Director Zhen couldn't understand it at all. He nodded when he heard her say it in a stern way.
"Where did this book come from? It seems that our newspapers only have dictionaries, right?"
Xue Ling smiled and explained: "This is what I borrowed for my classmates. Our newspaper has a few books on materials, only dictionaries. I have to find more ways to obtain materials, otherwise the pattern will always be the same, and readers will inevitably feel bored."
Deputy Director Zhen said "yes" lightly, and the tone of the person being trained was soon online again.
"What's wrong with dictionary? Who can learn English without dictionary? Your column is already small, how can you spend a lot of resources to support a small column? You have to know how to use it flexibly."
"Yes, yes!" Xue Ling waved the notebook in his hand and smiled, "I borrowed it, no money. My classmate has a lot of foreign books. I will borrow it from her in the future and keep it without wasting resources."
"Master Miejue" nodded with satisfaction and turned around to patrol the others.
Xue Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to continue translating.
Fortunately, she is the only one in the newspaper, and fortunately she is not exposed...
She insisted until after get off work, and saw three or four colleagues rushing to the manuscript, she waved goodbye to them before she took the things out of the newspaper.
