After the divorce, the boss doted on me

Gu Mian's eating speed has always been very slow. After a meal, more than half of an episode of a TV series was played. She finished watching the remaining ten minutes, simply cleaned up the dining table, and went to the study to turn on the computer to write.

This is a habit she has developed recently. Sometimes it is too boring to stay alone in the room. Apart from studying cooking, she just writes some stories.

At first, it was like writing a diary, recording the trivial things in life, such as the proprietress of the flower shop who was very kind to her, and every time she passed by, she would give a few extra flowers that could not be sold.Later, I started to write imaginative stories, turning the imagination in my mind into words in the document.

There was only one class on Wednesday afternoon, and Gu Mian took the subway home with her schoolbag on her back after school.

It has been cloudy and rainy for several days, and it was finally late today. She looked at the passing scenery outside the window and snapped a few photos.Probably because I am used to recording videos. When I see beautiful scenery and delicious food, I can’t help but record them and wait to share them with others.

After arriving home, Alisa was pushing Tan Man for a walk in the yard, next to Sana who was playing with the puppy.

The little one had his birthday last week and wanted nothing but a puppy.Tan Qian had no choice but to buy her a snow-white Pomeranian, named Xiaoxiao, because it likes to grin.

"Sister! You're back!" Sana was the first to see her, and ran towards her happily. The puppy followed behind its owner on short legs.

Gu Mian knelt down and hugged her, Bomei circled the two of them like a round snowball.

Sana said: "Mom knows you're coming back today, we're going to eat grilled lamb chops tonight, and I bought your favorite strawberry cake, they won't allow me to steal it."

Gu Mian scratched her nose with her fingers, "I'll let you eat an extra piece later."

Alisa pushed the wheelchair over: "You came back so early today?"

Gu Mian stood up to take her place, put her hand on the handle of the wheelchair, and pushed Tan Man forward: "I came back by car directly after school, and didn't go back to the rental house."

"Can you get used to it alone?" Tan Man patted the back of her hand, motioning her to come forward, she wanted to take a good look at her.

Gu Mian walked around to the front and squatted down, Tan Man looked at her for a few seconds, reached out and touched her small face: "I see, why do you seem to be a little fatter?"

Gu Mian choked.

The disadvantages of living alone are reflected here. She usually cooks by herself, and it is too difficult to accurately control the amount for one person. If she is not careful, she cooks too much, throws it away and wastes it, so she has to let herself eat more. Easy to overeat.

Tan Man: "It's a good thing to gain weight, I thought you were too thin before." After a pause, she joked, "Didn't Ji Lingchuan say you were thin?"

Gu Mian turned her head to look away, with a slight smile on her lips, of course he said it more than once.That time he easily picked her up with one hand and said she should eat more.

"What has Ji Lingchuan been up to lately?" Tan Man asked casually.

"It is said that the movie that I worked with director Mei Ruolin is about to be released. As the leading actor, he has to participate in various promotions for the film, and he is very busy."

Gu Mian read relevant information on the Internet, and said that although Ji Lingchuan has not joined the filming team at present, it is more difficult than filming.

He just caught up with the start of "Secret on the Cloud" when the crew of "No.20 Eight Horns" finished filming, and recorded several variety show promotions.The show hadn't finished yet, and the movie "Atonement" was about to be released, so he was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep.

In the recent photos taken at the airport, Ji Lingchuan was wearing a hat and mask the whole time, and was led forward by his assistant. His body seemed very tired, and he didn't even have time to respond to the fans' enthusiastic cheers.

Tan Man looked at her, and said with some confusion: "It's said? Hasn't he contacted you?"

A withered and yellow leaf fell lightly, reminding her that autumn was here and they parted in summer.A trace of loneliness flashed in Gu Mian's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smile: "No, but I know what he thinks."

"Ok?"

Gu Mian lowered her eyelashes and pursed her lips in silence.She could guess what Ji Lingchuan was thinking. He was afraid that after hearing her voice and seeing her face, he would run to England uncontrollably.

Tan Man didn't wait for her reply, and didn't continue to ask.She still had the same idea, Gu Mian is an adult and has the right to decide her own life, she can give her advice, but she won't interfere too much with her choices.

As the sun slanted to the west, more and more leaves were blown off by the wind and spread on the cobblestones.Gu Mian pushed Tan Man into the room, Alisa was already preparing dinner, the smell of lamb chops wafted from the kitchen, and the smell made one's index finger twitch.

Gu Mian poured a glass of water for Tan Man: "I forgot to tell you, I can cook now, next time I will cook for you, I think my cooking skills are not bad."

When I first started learning to cook, I really wasted a lot of ingredients. I wanted to cut potatoes into shreds, but I cut them into cubes, and they were burnt when I poured them into the pot.I want to make Kung Pao Chicken, but when it comes out of the pot, it looks okay, but it is hard to swallow when it is eaten, and it has to be thrown into the trash can.

After continuous practice, she can now cook a few decent dishes.

After school the day before yesterday, in order to thank Lu Chen for helping her cook last time, she invited him to her house as a guest and showed him off.At that time, his expression was as if he had swallowed an egg, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

When he came back to his senses, he gave her a thumbs up and said, "Shifare three days, you should look at her with admiration"!
Tan Man took the water glass and said in surprise, "You? Cooking?"

Gu Mian guessed that her mother didn't believe her, so she glanced at the kitchen and said with a smile, "Otherwise, you ask your aunt to give up the position of the chef, and I'll make you my special fried shredded beef with sauce. By the way, there are Beef?"

Tan Man was about to speak, when Alisa's phone rang suddenly. She turned off the range hood, and while answering the phone, she held a spatula and flipped the green beans in the frying pan.

Since tonight's main course is grilled lamb chops, I have to fry another vegetarian dish to relieve the greasiness.

I don't know what the person over there said, Alisa suddenly became furious, turned up the volume and scolded the other end of the phone, even swearing.

Gu Mian stared at her blankly, and Tan Man also had a puzzled expression. She had never seen the gentle and elegant Alisa lose her composure so much, and it was a bit surprising.

The phone call went on for 3 minutes without interruption. Seeing that the green beans in the pot were about to be fried, Gu Mian quickly took the spatula from her hand, stirred them a few times and put them on a plate.

As she got closer, she clearly heard Alisa scolding: "It's been so long, and the manuscript hasn't been translated yet. Is it going to be delayed until next year?!"

It was another 5 minutes of criticism and education from the boss to the subordinates. Alisa hung up the phone angrily, frowning with Lao Gao.

Only then did Gu Mian have the opportunity to ask, "What happened?"

Alisa's chest heaved violently a few times, obviously trying to adjust her emotions, and she didn't want to take the anger out on innocent people: "Don't mention it, the publishing house has a lot of work at the end of the year, and the published books that need to be exported have not passed the review due to translation problems, and all of them have to be sent back. Re-translate. You can’t do this little thing well, aren’t you trying to anger me?”

Gu Mian patted her on the back and gave her comfort: "Don't be angry, are the translated sentences not standardized? Find some professional translators and try."

"That won't work, Mianmian, you may not understand that translating literary works is not as simple as ordinary translation. It must not only fully retain the emotions that the original author wants to express, but also have beautiful and fluent language. Our publishing house is new to this area and lacks a fixed standard. Literary translators, the few I came into contact with were not satisfied."

After explaining to her, Alisa suddenly realized that it seemed unwise to get angry with her subordinates, because she knew that no matter what she did, the first step was always the hardest.

She sighed: "Forget it, let's eat."

Gu Mian washed her hands and followed her. The family sat around the dining table eating delicious grilled lamb chops and drinking iced grape juice. The atmosphere was very pleasant.

Gu Mian didn't have class the next morning, so she stayed at home tonight. After tutoring Sana's homework, she looked into the study and saw the light spilling out of it, so she turned and went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.

She knocked on the door, and only after hearing Alisa's response did she walk in with a coffee and put it on the table.

Alisa smiled at her: "Thank you."

In front of her was a thick pile of typed A4 manuscripts, on which various symbols were marked with a pen, which was dazzling.

Seeing that her gaze was on the manuscript, Alisa thought she was curious, so she pushed the translated manuscript in front of her, and then picked up the original English work beside her: "Don't say that the editor and reviewer are not up to standard, I just glanced at it and found problems."

As she spoke, she drank a big sip of coffee, feeling extremely irritable.

Gu Mian opened the original book, took a quick look at the translated manuscript, and found several problems. Of course, the translated sentence expression is not a problem, but it is not suitable for the context of the original text, or it does not show the literary effect of the original author , and the choice of words and sentences in some places is not artistic enough.

But after a while, Alisa drank half a cup of coffee, put her hand on her forehead and said, "I get a headache just looking at it. There are a lot of questions on every page. I'm afraid we will have a meeting to discuss it tomorrow."

Gu Mian asked: "How many words are translated from this book?"

Alisa flipped to the title page, and the lower right corner was clearly marked, 146 thousand words, roughly 15 words.Although there are many problems in this translated manuscript, the word count should not be much different.

Gu Mian has read this original book before. It is in the study of the Gu family. It is a letter written by a British writer to his wife. Each chapter is a letter. love story.

"Are you in a hurry?" Gu Mian tentatively asked, "If you're not in a hurry, maybe you can let me try it. I've read this book many times."

Alisa looked at her in astonishment. After a while, she still couldn't believe it: "Are you kidding me? I know Mianmian you are very good. Translating English is not difficult for you, but I explained to you before that literary translation Not the same, you must have a high level of literary skills.”

Gu Mian told her seriously: "I have written something myself, if you give me enough time, I can try it." She shrugged, "If you are in a hurry, then I have nothing to do, I still want go to school."

Alisa silently stared at the manuscript on the table.

She asked her subordinates on the phone whether the book will be delayed until next year?At that time, she had the exact answer in her heart, and it would be impossible to complete it by the end of the year.

Not to mention how long it would take to re-find someone to translate the manuscript, after the editorial review, the first review, the second review, and the finalization, it would take a few months, or even longer, to be officially printed and published.

After thinking for a moment, Alisa handed the original book to her: "You can try it if you want, I hope it won't waste your time."
