Chapter 145 Illusion 9
Luo Zhibin said, "Your English is so good, what a waste of serving dishes! How about this, let me introduce you to a job?"

"What job?" Lu Si is so interested, as long as he doesn't owe too much favor, he can still consider it.

"Go to the shipyard to work as a translator. Did you know? There is a shipyard in Jiejiang, a state-owned enterprise."

"I don't know..." Lu Si lived in the county since he was a child, and he didn't play well in Xiejiang City, so how could he know this.

"My aunt works there. She came to my house last weekend and complained to my dad. Can you find a part-time translator for her? The shipyard received a foreign order, and the foreign shipowner sent a representative to personally supervise the factory. It rarely accepts foreign orders. QC’s English is poor, and it is almost impossible to communicate with the shipowner’s representative. The construction period in the factory has been delayed many times. The leader was so anxious that he asked my aunt to quickly find a part-time translator. You know, in a small city like Xiejiang, how can it be so easy to find a professional translator in a short period of time? I just heard the news and think it's quite suitable for you."

After thinking about it, Lu was quite moved, at least the other party's words were sincere.However, she immediately thought of a question:
"However, this kind of translation should involve a lot of professional knowledge? I'm afraid I may not be competent."

She is still self-aware, and the English used for daily communication is completely different from professional English.

"It's okay, my aunt mentioned this problem. The construction techniques in the shipyard are actually very simple. She has an English-Chinese manual of commonly used terms. You can memorize it by heart."

"Really?" Lu Si was very doubtful.She has never been to a shipyard. The technology used in shipbuilding should not be too simple, right?

"It's really simple! I have been to that shipyard several times. Their main work is outsourced to the construction team. The representative of the shipowner is to check and accept the construction quality. The construction team is a group of migrant workers who graduated from junior high school. Think about it. How complicated is it?"

"Let me think about it, how about the treatment?"

"With 100 yuan a day, the shipyard can't afford too high wages. But the wages are very short, as long as you go out with the shipowner's representative when you apply for inspection. The average is only two or three hours a day. Other times you You can sit in the office and do whatever you want."

Lu thought about it, and felt that it was quite a bargain. Although the money was not much, the advantage was stability, and it could also increase knowledge, which was much better than washing dishes.

"OK."

"Then it's settled!"

On the night when the course of this semester ended, Lu Si called home.

"Hey?"

"Dad, it's me."

"Sisi, our school is on holiday, so are you going to be on holiday too?"

"Well, the holiday starts tomorrow."

"Then come back quickly."

"I'm not going back."

The other end of the phone became angry in an instant, "Little brat, your wings are stiff, aren't you? You won't even go home!"

"You don't give me living expenses, so I don't want to support myself? I found a temporary job, and I will work here during the winter vacation."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, "What temporary worker? Don't give me some dubious work. If you lose my face, I'll break your leg!"

"Shipyard translator, state-owned enterprise."

"Oh, then do your best! Try to stay as a regular worker, so you don't need to study."

"I will try my best."

Lu Si hung up the phone, feeling very tired.

In the evening, she tidied up and saluted, chatted with her roommate for a while, and then went to bed.

Early the next morning, I heard someone shouting from downstairs:
"Lu Si!"

Lu Si poked his head out of the window and saw a car and a person, Luo Zhibin.

Luo Zhibin also saw her, and continued to shout, "Let's go!"

Lu Si went back to get the luggage, and found that her roommate poked her head out to see this scene.

"He's your boyfriend? When did you guys start dating?" The roommate was extremely surprised. He hadn't seen any contact between the two of them usually, so the secrecy work was done too well.

"It's nothing, he just took me for a ride." Lu Si explained lightly.

Why doesn't he take me for a ride?

This is what almost every other girl thinks.

They are going home too, and they have to carry their salutes to the station.

As for Lu Si, he drove the car directly to the downstairs of the dormitory...

Lu Si ignored the other girls' thoughts and went downstairs with a bow in hand.

Luo Zhibin helped her put the salute into the trunk, and the two got into the car and sat side by side in the back seat.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said casually, "Is this your girlfriend? You have a good eye."

Luo Zhibin glanced at Lu Si, and found that she had no expression, so he smiled, "Where! I just want her to do me a favor."

The driver didn't ask any questions and drove the car outside the school.

Xiejiang Shipyard is a little far from the city, and it took more than an hour to drive there by car.

From the outside it looks completely rural.The places outside the shipyard are either farmland or barren hills.

Looking inside the shipyard through the fence, you can only see towering cranes one after another, like a construction site.

It was only after Lu Si went in that he realized that the so-called shipyard was indeed a large construction site.

The process of building a ship is not much more complicated than building a house.

The car drove into the shipyard and stopped under a low office building.

Luo Zhibin said, "Go, I'll take you to see it."

Lu Si followed him into the four-story office building, passed one office after another, and met several men in shipyard overalls.

Finally, he came to an office with a personnel signboard and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Luo Zhibin pushed the door open and said, "Auntie!"

There are four desks in the office, but only one middle-aged woman is sitting, also wearing work clothes.

She is Luo Zhibin's aunt and Luo Chunhua, the personnel manager of the shipyard.

"Here we come, Xiaobin."

Luo Chunhua smiled enthusiastically, and looked at Lu Si again.

"Are you classmate Lu Si? Please sit down."

"Auntie, I'll leave it to you. I'll go play outside." Luo Zhibin left first.

"Hello, Auntie." Lu Si nodded awkwardly.

Luo Chunhua asked, "Xiaobin said that you are good at English and can be an interpreter for foreigners in Jieshan. Is this true?"

"it is true."

"Then I'm going to test you."

Lu Si quickly pricked up his ears to listen.

"follow me."

Luo Chunhua didn't test her directly, but took her to another office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A foreigner's voice came from inside the house.

Luo Chunhua pushed the door open, pointed to a tall foreigner in white overalls and said:

"He is Mr. Smith, the shipowner's representative, please talk to him!"

Lu Si was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the interview to be so straightforward and complete in one step.

Fortunately, she had many direct interviews with foreigners in English during her part-time job, so she was not very nervous.

Let me introduce myself first in English:

"Hello, Mr. Smith. My name is Lu Si. I'm the translator invited by the shipyard. Can I talk to you?"
