Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Otherwise, it would be a waste of talent.
Previously, Su Wanyu had such a smooth conversation with the German clients that everyone listening was quite envious.
They never expected that she could also speak three other foreign languages, which was incredibly impressive!
Factory Director Xu was also very surprised; it seemed that he had truly underestimated her before.
With proficiency in four languages, she could completely go work for the government as a professional translator.
“Xiao Su, since you know so many languages, you could directly become a professional translator, otherwise it would be a waste of your talent!” Factory Director Xu suggested.
Su Wanyu had never really considered this before, she smiled lightly and said to Factory Director Xu, “Thank you for your suggestion, I’ll think about it.”
“Mhm, someone with your talent shouldn’t be buried, give it a good thought,” Factory Director Xu rarely felt such a sense of cherishing talent.
After leaving the chemical plant, Su Wanyu headed straight home; she couldn’t wait to share the good news with Jiang Changhai and her daughter.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw the father and daughter eating. Jiang Changhai didn’t know what time Su Wanyu would return today, and worried that his daughter might be hungry alone at home, so he brought back food from the canteen to eat with her.
They had just started eating when Su Wanyu returned.
“Wife, you’re back? How did it go? Was everything smooth?” Jiang Changhai asked eagerly upon seeing Su Wanyu.
Jiang Mianmian also ran over excitedly, asking with concern, “Mom, how did it go? Did you sign the contract?”
Su Wanyu smiled radiantly, took out twenty yuan and two Industrial Coupons, waved them in front of father and daughter, and said excitedly, “Brother Hai, daughter, look, this is my wage for today, haha, I’m so happy. I earned this much in just half a day.”
“Oh, wife, you are really amazing, you’ve made more in one morning than I do in a whole month,” Jiang Changhai praised her wholeheartedly.
“Yeah, Mom, the job of a translator really pays well,” Jiang Mianmian also remarked.
“Just so-so, no big deal,” Su Wanyu said, feeling proud.
“By the way, wife, have you eaten yet?” Jiang Changhai asked after the initial excitement had passed.
“Not yet, I came straight home from the chemical plant,” Su Wanyu said, touching her deflated stomach, sounding a bit aggrieved.
“Perfect, Mianmian and I just started eating. You’ll have to make do for now, and when I get off work in the evening, we’ll go to the state-owned restaurant for a better meal,” Jiang Changhai said, then went to the kitchen to fetch a bowl and chopsticks for his wife.
During the meal, Su Wanyu suddenly remembered what Factory Director Xu had said, she looked up at the two and said, “Brother Hai, daughter, today when Factory Director Xu found out I knew four languages, he suggested that I become a professional translator.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Changhai did not offer his opinion but instead looked at Su Wanyu and asked, “Wife, what do you think?”
“Right, Mom, what do you think? Do you want to become a professional translator?” Jiang Mianmian’s first reaction was also to ask her mom’s opinion.
Su Wanyu was somewhat tempted but also hesitant.
The sense of confidence and satisfaction that the morning’s translation work brought her was something she thoroughly enjoyed.
Moreover, the affirmation and praise from the leaders at the chemical plant made her yearn for a life with her own career.
“I, I do want to go a bit, but my educational background isn’t that great. I didn’t even finish high school, I only have a junior high school diploma, I’m afraid they might not want me,” Su Wanyu voiced her concerns.
