Thinking of the weird look the staff looked at him when they left just now, Yu Fan could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Now he couldn't even figure out how he could speak German. This was simply impossible. German I have never been exposed to this thing in a day, let alone communicate with Germans so fluently. Thinking about the strange look in the German guy's eyes before leaving just now, he must be wondering why he was making gestures for a long time since he can speak German. .
In the hotel's cafeteria, Yu Fan also met members of the Nanfeng Provincial delegation. Since he could speak German, the communication went much smoother. When he asked the staff along the way for the location of the cafeteria, Yu Fan It was obvious that his fluent German made them feel very close to him. But along the way, Yu Fan vaguely understood the reason why he could suddenly speak German.
It should be because of his sensing ability. Yu Fan has always used his sensing ability to feel what others are thinking. Although this ability has given him endless help, people's hearts are changing rapidly. In many cases, especially those within the system What people think in one second and what they say and do in the next second are often completely opposite. At this time, the limitations of the sensing ability are revealed. But this discovery made Yu Fan have a deeper understanding of his own situation. This ability has given him a new understanding. He can actually learn different languages in an instant. Although Yu Fan is not completely sure about this yet, he has confirmed his physiognomy in his heart. This is a big deal for him. Good news. Even if you don't become an official in the future, becoming a translator is actually a very promising career. Yu Fan couldn't help but think with a chuckle.
There is no need to communicate at the buffet, and there are no embarrassing things like ordering. I think many people must have thought so. Although the delegation has a German translator prepared by themselves, with so many people, one translator is too busy But when it comes to the leaders and bosses who came with the delegation from Nan Fung Province, none of them have a bachelor's degree or above. There are quite a few graduate students among them. It's really compared to some things in books. Come on. Yu Fan doesn't think they have much more money in their stomachs than he, a third-rate university graduate.
German food has a strong taste, and Germans also have a strong preference for meat, especially pork. Yu Fan has seen this today. Ham, bacon, especially sausages. The variety of varieties is almost overwhelming to Yu Fan. I was a little dazzled. Just as I was hesitating, the service staff next to me stepped forward with a smile on my face and asked: "Sir, how can I help you?" It seemed that he thought that Yu Fan might not understand German. After he finished speaking, I also turned around and asked for help from the manager who spoke Chinese dialect not far away.
"Can you tell me the characteristics of these dishes?" Yu Fan's pure German made the waiter look at him in surprise. She had also tried to contact these Chinese people just now. She wanted them to feel the German flavor She was so hospitable. But she didn't expect that most of these people just smiled and nodded to her, quickly picked up the food and turned around to leave. Although she felt it was because of the language barrier, she had no choice. She knew nothing about Chinese dialect. I didn't expect that Yu Fan could speak German so well. I was a little surprised for a while.
Each dish was introduced to Yu Fan with a smile. Yu Fan nodded and put it on his plate according to his own preference. When he returned to his seat, the plate was already full of food. Seeing Yu Fan's arrival, many people nodded to him. Tong Xiaohui, the only one in the group who could speak German, also came over excitedly at this moment. She looked at Yu Fan with admiration and said: "Secretary Yu. I didn't expect that. You speak German so well."
Smiling modestly, Yu Fan looked at her and said, "I am just a second-hand swordsman. I have read books on this subject in school, so I know a little bit. If I say a few more words, I will reveal my secret." Tong Xiaohui There was a look of disbelief on her face. She could hear clearly just now. There was no obstacle for Yu Fan to communicate with that person. Some of the spoken words were not very clear to her. However, Yu Fan answered clearly and clearly. .It is absolutely impossible without the experience of living here for more than ten years.
With a slight snort, Tong Xiaohui pouted and said: "Secretary Yu, you can't be too humble. You must know that being too modest is tantamount to being proud." Yu Fan looked at her and smiled bitterly. He still called it modest. Secondly The knife is already a great compliment to myself. I have never touched any German before, let alone read any books on this subject.
"Secretary Yu, have you ever lived in Germany?" Tong Xiaohui asked casually while drinking juice. Yu Fan, who was biting a sausage, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He turned to look at her and smiled: "I am This is my first time coming to Germany." Tong Xiaohui looked at him with disbelief and said, "How is that possible? Although knowledge of German can be learned from books, some spoken languages are not found in books. Only people who have lived here will understand. ." Yu Fan was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to answer. He had to muddle through while eating something vaguely.
Although it was said that he was traveling with a delegation, Yu Fan really had nothing to do in the Nanfeng Provincial delegation. The members of the delegation had already been arranged and each had their own work. Only Yu Fan spoke before leaving. He was recruited urgently, so he became an idler instead. However, idlers also have their advantages. Ever since I found out that Yu Fan could speak German, many people would ask him out when going out or having dinner. After all, it is very awkward to be in a place where the language is not spoken. Although there are translators accompanying the group, having a little girl who has just graduated to follow them all day long will inevitably lead to some topics. For reasons of caution, Yu Fan naturally became their full-time translator. Two choices.
Yu Fan didn't care about this. Just translate. It's better than just staying in the room. Although he knew very well that Lin Dongfang wanted him to go abroad with the group this time just to avoid the current complicated situation in Nanfeng Province. Yu Fan is really not used to being like this doing nothing all the time. Being a translator for them should be considered as a way to familiarize himself with the German that he has just learned.
On this day, Yu Fan was thinking about what to do after getting up. However, the deputy governor Sun Changyu ran to him with an anxious look on his face. "Come on, Yu Fan. I need your help with something." Yu Fan was stunned at first. He turned to smile and said: "Please give me the instructions, leader. I promise to complete the task." The days with nothing to do are indeed very boring. If I can be of any help, it can just prove that I am not here to eat and drink for free. Although the fact is true That's true. But at least there will be some psychological comfort.
"The thing is like this. There is a negotiation between our province and Germany on mechanical engineering. Tong Xiaohui and other translators are not very sure about the professional terminology of mechanical engineering. So Tong Xiaohui specially recommended you to me." Here, Sun Changyu looked at him with a smile on his face and said: "I didn't expect that you are still proficient in German. Tong Xiaohui, a talented person who graduated from a German college, has full of praise for you. Haha."
Mechanical engineering terminology. Yu Fan was a little embarrassed for a while. It was related to negotiation. He had never been exposed to this aspect. He looked at Sun Changyu hesitantly for a while. Seeing Yu Fan's expression, Sun Changyu was stunned. Frowning, he said, "Why, you're not sure either."
After a moment of hesitation, Yu Fan sighed and said, "It's not that I'm not sure. It's just that I don't have enough confidence. Why don't I let Tong Xiaohui translate first? If it doesn't work, I'll do it. You can see if it works." He thought about it first, but in the end it was He gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a decision. He looked up at Yu Fan and said, "I'll do as you say. But this negotiation involves an investment of 100 million euros. You must be cautious." After finishing speaking, I looked at my watch and my face changed. "Go quickly. Go quickly. Germans are the most punctual. Don't leave a bad impression on others."
As soon as she saw Yu Fan, Tong Xiaohui said with a smile on her face: "Teacher Yu, you are finally here." Yu Fan felt a little funny. When did he become a teacher? But Tong Xiaohui's words of "teacher" were sincere. This negotiation did not just start today. During the negotiation yesterday, Tong Xiaohui encountered many problems with professional terminology. Some of the questions she had never heard of. She was so anxious that she sweated on her forehead. It wasn't because Sun Changyu saw that she looked wrong and stopped the negotiation in advance for an excuse. I'm afraid things would be disastrous.
It is said that once bitten by a snake, ten years of fear of well ropes. Tong Xiaohui seems to be in this state now. As soon as she heard that she was still required to take the lead, Tong Xiaohui's face suddenly turned pale. She took Yu Fan's arm and said: " Teacher Yu, you should go ahead. Although I have prepared some materials in this area, I am really not good at translating those professional terms." There was a look of pleading on his face, which made Yu Fan hesitate a little. But at present, he also If you don’t know if you are capable of the job, hesitation is inevitable.
Sun Changyu on the side looked at the two of them. Tong Xiaohui's pale face made him smile bitterly. This Tong Xiaohui was the daughter of his old comrade-in-arms. This scared the girl. He was not easy to explain to his old comrades-in-arms. He looked at Yu Fan. He sighed and said: "Yu Fan, are you sure? If it doesn't work, I'll think of a way." Sun Changyu said so. If Yu Fan doesn't express his position, it won't work. Besides, he still has the ability to sense himself. He must be confident. After thinking about it, he looked at Sun Changyu and nodded and said, "There should be no problem. Don't worry."
This negotiation is not reached now. It has been negotiated for more than half a year. It is confirmed that a contract will be signed. However, due to the problems of this trip, things that were originally intended to be signed at home were placed abroad. All that needs to be done now is It's just the final communication before signing the contract. In fact, from this point, we can also see that the Germans are rigorous in doing things. The plans they have made must be completed meticulously. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are old-fashioned.
At the beginning, everything went smoothly. Yu Fan's simultaneous interpretation was almost perfect. But when it came to some professional terms, Yu Fan was slightly stunned. Just when Sun Changyu and Tong Xiaohui turned a little pale, he These professional terms were quickly translated, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief. When the negotiation ended, the German also smiled and shook hands with Yu Fan and said something that only Yu Fan could understand. And Yu Fan also smiled and nodded to him.
