Xinhua Bookstore had already gone there several times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The workload just scared off many people, so I made sure to ask around who needed translators when I was preparing to take the translator exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With my excellent talents recommending themselves, how could they not use me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Wang understood, choosing to ignore Jiang Cheng’s self-praise and said, \"So even if a textile factory invited you, you’d still go to the machinery factory?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, the machinery factory is my main target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, and the meatpacking plant too; these two are like treasure troves, the others are just incidental.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it succeeded, great, if not, it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes of silence, Principal Wang finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Cheng, good thing you went into translation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Principal Wang felt he had a significant responsibility, which was to keep Jiang Cheng on the right path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng: I have a feeling you’re mocking me in your heart.\u003C\u002Fp>",1254,"2026-06-03T05:46:21.787Z",1,"novelbin.me","35a04316d96e76b8a28e144060f0f84a63ee91aa896dce4a62ef5be76927afd0","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-65","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-63",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-cover.jpg"]
