At that time, Xu Nianhua’s first thought was that Su Lie wanted to look after her.
"Nianhua, it’s not so much taking care of you all. It’s just that the Orient Hotel has many foreign guests, and they often need translation services. In the past, it was done externally, but now, if you students can manage this job, that would be the best option." Su Lie carefully explained to Xu Nianhua that the job entailed having six of them divided into two groups to work at the hotel, with three working on Saturdays and the other three on Sundays.
Twenty yuan per day is just the basic wage. If they can get contracts or documents that need translation to be sent to the studio, it would also bring business to their studio.
After understanding the situation, Xu Nianhua realized that this was an opportunity Su Lie was giving them. If they could seize this chance, their translation studio might reach new heights.
"Nianhua, don’t worry. We will definitely give it our all and make sure we don’t embarrass our studio." Fei Jiayi promised, thumping her chest.
Chang Hui and the others didn’t speak, but their eyes conveyed the same sentiment.
"Nianhua, I want to be in your group." Fei Jiayi looked at her eagerly.
"I also want to be in your group." Liao Jinling said, unwilling to be left behind.
Ding Guo timidly said, "Me too."
Chang Hui nodded, looking at Xu Nianhua expectantly, her eyes clearly saying: I also want to be in your group.
"Pfft~"
Xu Nianhua couldn’t help but laugh and said, "You all want to be in my group, but I can’t come every day."
"I know how to split us up: Liao Jinling and Ding Guo are both eloquent and can talk their way out of anything. It’s better to separate them. Chang Hui and Zhou Wanwan are meticulous and careful; you two can also be separated. I..." Fei Jiayi initially wanted to say that she could be in the same group as Xu Nianhua, but as she spoke, she sadly realized that she and Nianhua also had to be separated!
In the end, the six of them decided to draw lots!
Chang Hui, Liao Jinling, and Xu Nianhua ended up in one group.
Ding Guo, Zhou Wanwan, and Fei Jiayi formed the other group.
"Everyone, let’s do our best. No matter who we’re teamed up with, we are one team, all for our 302 Translation Studio!" Xu Nianhua extended her hand, palm down, back of the hand up, and encouraged, "May our studio grow better and stronger!"
"Grow better and stronger!" Fei Jiayi followed Xu Nianhua, placing her hand on top.
One hand over another, six hands stacked together, everyone had the same goal.
Today was their first day at the Orient Hotel, to familiarize themselves with the place and to translate for today’s foreign guests.
After bringing them here, Su Lie gave them some instructions and then got busy with work. When he asked the hotel’s manager about them in the afternoon, the manager praised, "Miss Xu is very smart. Not only is her English good, but she also knows French, and the guests all like her very much."
Su Lie frowned and emphasized to the manager, "Nianhua is my younger sister, and I don’t want to hear about guests pestering her, understood?"
"Mr. Su, then in the future..." the manager looked at Su Lie with some difficulty. Miss Xu is beautiful and talented, and many foreign guests are very sociable. Just in one day, quite a few wanted to pursue Miss Xu.
"I let her come here to train her and give her studio an opportunity. Do I need to say more?" Su Lie’s last sentence ended with a rising tone, his sharp eyes carrying a warning.
