Chapter 415: Advancing by Retreating

On the other side, in the factory office meeting room, Lin Muni had lost all her previous arrogance, regretting so deeply her intestines had turned green.

She had thought too simply; she did indeed know German, but only for simple communication, and as for translation, she could only rely on a dictionary, let alone the fact that the data contained many technical terms; she now had one head and two big headaches, with absolutely no clue.

Nearly half an hour had passed, and Lin Muni had a forehead full of sweat.

Before everyone's patience ran out, Shen Congjun spoke first: "Muni, how long will it take to make up for the missing words?"

Hearing this, Lin Muni's head grew even bigger; let alone making up for them, she couldn't even pronounce many of the words, let alone their meanings, but she had just kicked Liu Chuxue out and simply couldn't say she couldn't handle it or translate it.

The impatient Secretary Cheng was the first to lose his temper: "Lin Muni, is it? Give us a straight answer: can you complete the translation of this data? If so, how long will it take?"

Remembering something, he spoke again before Lin Muni could open her mouth: "I hope you speak the truth; if you say it and don't do it, the consequences are something you cannot bear. Think it over before you answer."

Lin Muni now even wished to die; she couldn't help but look toward Shen Congjun on her side, hoping he would help her out of this predicament.

Unfortunately, Shen Congjun was still counting on her to shine brightly to save him and completely failed to understand her meaning: "Muni, Secretary Cheng is asking you a question."

At this, Lin Muni's last straw of hope in her heart also fell, and large drops of sweat dripped down her forehead.

Everyone present was a shrewd person; seeing her remain silent for so long and now looking like this, they all understood.

It seemed Deputy Factory Director Shen had exaggerated earlier; his niece was simply not competent for this job.

At this moment, Factory Director Yang's expression was very awkward; after all, Shen Congjun had assured him back then that his niece was very proficient in German and could communicate fluently with foreigners.

At that time, he thought that even if there was some exaggeration in such matters, it couldn't be too much, since one must show real results upon taking the post, and he believed Shen wouldn't dare to lie about this.

Plus, he also wanted to win over Deputy Factory Director Shen, so he agreed to him.

Last time, he had specifically mentioned this to the personnel responsible for recruitment; now, it was simply a disgrace, and he said with anger: "This is not children playing house; give us a quick answer: are you competent or not?"

Lin Muni dared not lie now, but still tried desperately to make excuses for herself: "There are many technical terms on here that I have never encountered; I am afraid the translation will be inaccurate and delay everyone further."

Hearing this, Shen Congjun became as anxious as anything: "Muni, just translate it first; if you are afraid something is inaccurate, just mark it; later, I will find professionals in the ministry to help correct it."

Lin Muni was truly about to be killed by his anger; she had finally found a way to get out of this, and was her uncle still not satisfied with how much shame she had brought upon herself?

She looked up at him, lowered her voice, and said through gritted teeth: "Don't meddle."

Hearing this, Shen Congjun was briefly stunned and was about to ask a question, but then heard Lin Muni say: "Factory Director Yang, Secretary Cheng, this is no small matter; I deeply understand the principle that a slip of an inch leads to an error of a thousand miles, so it is better to invite professionals to translate it to avoid causing irreparable losses to the factory; I cannot disregard the factory's interests for the sake of a false reputation."

Listen to how level-headed her words were; if it weren't for the act she put on at the beginning, everyone might have believed her; what a clever move of advancing by retreating, and she even stepped on Liu Chuxue in the process; truly high-level.
