Before long, the translators Tang Yao called in arrived at the meeting room.
"Minister Su." They nodded and greeted.
"This lady is our important client. See if you can communicate with her. We won’t disturb you."
With that, Su Qingqing left the meeting room with Zhang Huimin and Zhao Yongle.
"Zhang Huimin, are you sure the person who negotiated with you spoke Huaxia?" In front of the meeting room door, Su Qingqing asked.
Zhang Huimin nodded without hesitation: "I’m sure, because this was the only SSS task I took on myself, I remember it very clearly."
Su Qingqing nodded, asking no further questions.
This SSS task indeed pointed to a company located in Africa.
"Heh, I think you’re just being unreasonable and lying! The person negotiating over the phone spoke Huaxia, but now the person who came is speaking gibberish? It doesn’t match at all!" Zhao Yongle crossed his arms and sneered, "I’ll tell you, if this deal falls through, it doesn’t matter if you’re lying or not, I’ll make sure to get rid of this troublemaker for the company!"
But the next moment, a curse rang out, and his face instantly darkened.
"Team Leader Zhao, why does your tone stink more than the pig manure on you?"
The elevator door opened and Ye Huan pinched his nose as he walked out, waving the air with disgust: "The air smells of pig manure. Team Leader Zhao, do you live just to pollute the air?"
Zhao Yongle turned around, instantly enraged and swore: "Ye Huan, what are you, a security guard, doing in our sales department? Get lost!"
He looked furious. Since the last incident, he had nightmares of that old sow every night and now had a serious mental block.
On top of that, he always felt covered in the stench of the sow. Walking down the street, when passersby pointed at him, he wished the ground would swallow him up!
"Oh?" Ye Huan said in surprise, "Security guards can’t come to the sales department? Did you set that rule? On the contrary, your pollution of the company’s air is seriously undermining the employees’ work enthusiasm. As a security guard, I have the right to kick you out of the company."
"Kick me out? Try it!" Zhao Yongle was full of anger, even rolling up his sleeves, looking ready to fight.
Ye Huan cracked his knuckles, smiling: "Your skin’s itching for it, I’ll oblige."
The cracking sound of his knuckles made Zhao Yongle shiver involuntarily.
"Stop arguing! What time is it, and you’re still arguing here? This is a company, if you want to argue, do it outside."
Su Qingqing’s face was grim.
Just then, the translators appointed by Tang Yao walked out of the meeting room, beads of sweat on their foreheads, looking extremely embarrassed.
"Minister Su, we are unable to assist; we tried communicating with eight different languages but none worked."
"Huh?" Su Qingqing’s face became urgent, "Did you at least recognize what language she is speaking?"
The translators shook their heads and said, "We can’t determine it, but it is certain that it is a language from some African tribe."
"Tribal language?" Su Qingqing’s face turned incredibly bad.
Many tribes in Africa have their own languages, definitely no fewer than a thousand of them!
Getting a university professor to help with translation is no longer an option.
While there are professors in universities who specialize in African languages, no professor would burden themselves with learning over a thousand African tribal languages.
"Zhang Huimin, look what you’ve done!"
Zhao Yongle cursed, but couldn’t suppress the joy on his face: "You’ve made our company lose such a big deal, how do you intend to atone? Pack up and prepare to go through the resignation process!"
"How is this my fault!" Zhang Huimin looked anxious.
"I blame you!" Zhao Yongle looked smug, "Minister Su, given the circumstances, according to company policy, shouldn’t she be dismissed?"
Su Qingqing didn’t say anything, acquiescing silently.
Not just Zhang Huimin, if she, the head of the sales department, were to blow a client of such significance, even if not dismissed, she would at least be demoted to a regular employee.
"Haha!" Zhao Yongle laughed out loud, gleefully saying, "Zhang Huimin, will you resign and apologize yourself, or do you want me to fire you? Pick one."
His eyes were full of disdain.
It’s as if he was saying: Do you regret crossing me, Zhao Yongle?
Zhang Huimin pressed her lips tightly, feeling very downcast.
"I... I’ll resign..."
Before she could finish, Ye Huan shouted, "Who said she’s resigning? You think you can fire her just like that, who are you kidding?"
"I am that powerful!"
Zhao Yongle sneered: "She’s blown a 20-million-dollar deal, and I can fire her!"
"Who says it’s blown?"
"The translators can’t communicate with the client, isn’t that blowing it?"
Ye Huan chuckled, saying, "Just because they can’t doesn’t mean I can’t."
Zhao Yongle laughed uproariously: "You mean to say, you, a security guard, can understand or speak an African tribal language? Hahaha!"
"Hey, security guard colleague, stop boasting. African tribal languages are some of the most obscure and difficult in the world, with over a thousand language branches!"
"Unless they’re a native or a professor specializing in a single tribal language, no one can understand those languages."
"We’ve been doing translation for a long time, and we can’t understand a word she said, let alone you, a security guard."
The translators looked at him with disdain. They’ve seen a lot of boasters, but a security guard from the lower stratum boasting, this was the first time they’d seen.
Su Qingqing frowned, saying, "Ye Huan, go back to the security department, don’t show off here."
She also thought Ye Huan was just speaking big words, unhappy at the moment.
After all, tribal languages are not something the average person can grasp, it’s simply unrealistic.
"Little Ye, don’t bother with me, you... you go back first." Zhang Huimin advised in a low voice.
"I said I really can, it’s just tribal language." Ye Huan laughed a little.
"You don’t have to help me..."
Zhang Huimin felt touched, knowing Ye Huan wanted to help her, but she was aware of the difficulty of tribal languages.
She wanted to continue advising Ye Huan, but Ye Huan had already entered the meeting room.
Zhao Yongle looked on with disdain, shouting loudly: "Ye Huan, if you can’t close the deal, I’ll report you to the CEO’s office; then, you and Zhang Huimin will both get lost from the company!"
His heart was filled with delight, as he’d been worrying about not having a way to kick Ye Huan out of the company.
After this incident, he could kick both of them out of Tianyun International, avenging the earlier grudge, haha!
"This fool’s so stubborn, doesn’t listen to advice..."
Su Qingqing gritted her teeth and followed into the meeting room.
The translators and Zhao Yongle, wanting to see Ye Huan make a fool of himself, also went in.
But as soon as they entered the meeting room, they were dumbfounded...
This... this security guard...
Really understood the obscure and complicated African tribal language?
How is that possible!
