Chapter 646: Chapter 646 German Translation 2
“Haha, that’s exactly what I think. My daughter-in-law and my girl, they’re just unmatched, rare gems on heaven and earth.”
Jiang Changhai had no clue what modesty was in this regard.
Whenever someone praised him, he would climb up the proverbial pole, even feeling the pole was too short.
Xiao Li saw the topic drifting away, so he quickly steered the conversation back: “Hey, Changhai, you said your wife knows German, why not take her to give it a try? If she really gets hired, that’d be an honor and something to be proud of.”
“Exactly, Changhai, this is a great opportunity. Think about it, being able to chat with foreigners in front of so many bosses from the chemical plant, that’s a rare chance. Those leaders at the chemical plant will definitely remember your wife, and when something good comes up, they might think of you guys too,” the colleagues advised earnestly.
Jiang Changhai had already been tempted, and after hearing what his coworkers said, he decided he would tell his wife about it after getting off work to see if she was willing to give it a try.
By the time Jiang Changhai got home from work that evening, Su Wanyu had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him.
He washed his hands quickly and sat down, then while eating, he said, “Wife, daughter, I have some good news for you. Today one of my coworkers told me that our town’s chemical plant is looking for a German translator.”
“Ah, a German translator?” Su Wanyu was quite surprised at the news.
Jiang Mianmian also blinked her large eyes looking at her dad, never expecting that their small place would be hiring a German translator.
“Yes, my coworker told me today. In a couple of days, there’ll be German clients visiting the chemical plant, and they urgently need a German translator to receive the clients. How about it? Wife, you speak German so well, shall we go and check it out tomorrow?” Jiang Changhai asked.
Though Su Wanyu usually boasted to Jiang Changhai and Jiang Mianmian that she spoke four languages very well, now that she was actually about to interact with Germans, she suddenly became nervous.
It’s important to note that with languages, one needs to speak and practice regularly, and it had been a long time since she had communicated with anyone, and much of the grammar had become unfamiliar to her.
Although she had picked it up again recently while teaching her daughter, she still lacked confidence.
“Brother Hai, it’s been too long since I’ve communicated with people. I’m afraid I’ll get nervous. Let our daughter go instead. Her German is quite good now, and she can handle normal conversation without any problems,” Su Wanyu suggested.
“Mom, I think you speak much better than I do. You need to have more confidence in yourself. When you teach me, you explain everything so clearly that I understand it all on the first try,” Jiang Mianmian said, encouraging her mother urgently upon hearing her attempt to back out.
She knew Su Wanyu had been a housewife for too long, a bit out of touch with society, and now she was suddenly expected to go out, which made her uneasy.
“That’s right, wife. I think you will have no problem either. Our daughter’s German was taught phrase by phrase by you, so for a mere German translator, I’m sure you’re well-qualified. I believe in you,” Jiang Changhai also encouraged.
“You really think I’ll be okay?” Su Wanyu asked, looking at the father and daughter with some uncertainty.
“Yeah, Mom, you’ll definitely be fine,” Jiang Mianmian nodded emphatically to affirm.
Jiang Changhai was even more confident as he boasted: “Wife, you can absolutely do it! A mere German translation can’t stump my clever and witty wife. Once you take the job, not just German translation, even French translation will be a cinch for you.”
