After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 50 Learning English

"Sister Tang, Carlo Xia will start filming tomorrow in Dalian, please go there for me."

Lu Liang assigned a task to Tang Caidie, and then looked at Chen Jinchun, who had a silly look on his face: "Xiao Chen, go and help me recruit someone."

Chen Jinchun's eyes widened, and for a moment she thought she had heard wrongly. She herself was a fresh graduate and had not even passed the internship period.

"Is there any problem?" Lu Liang asked.

"No...no problem. Mr. Lu, who do you want to recruit?" Chen Jinchun asked with gritted teeth.

"Private English tutor, at least with a Level 8 certificate, one lesson per day on weekdays, the price is the highest in the market."

Having suffered the loss of not knowing English last time, Lu Liang made up his mind to improve his English, at least to the point where reading would be effortless.

"Okay, Mr. Lu." Chen Jinchun felt relieved. Fortunately, he was just looking for a private English tutor.

After all, she has passed the Level 4 exam. With the help of China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center, it should not be a problem for her to interview a Level 8 certificate holder.

But thinking about it in your mind is one thing, and actually doing it is another.

Seeing Lu Liang enter the office, Chen Jinchun looked pitiful and pulled Tang Caidie: "Sister, you have to help me."

She has only been an interviewee, never an interviewer. Should she be more aloof or down-to-earth?
If I put my hair up and wear black stockings and an OL outfit, would I look a little more mature?
"Don't be so stressed. I guess Mr. Lu wants to learn English."

Tang Caidie couldn't help laughing: "The teaching method of English is very important, but it also depends on the compatibility between teachers and students. As long as we recruit a few more and let Mr. Lu choose, he will always find someone that satisfies him."

Chen Jinchun asked again: "If Mr. Lu is not satisfied, what should he do to those private teachers? Let them leave?"

Tang Caidie nodded: "Usually there will be a trial period of half a class. If you are not satisfied, you can change it until you are satisfied."

Chen Jinchun looked conflicted: "Don't you give me some travel expenses? That would be bad."

Try half a class and change it if you are not satisfied, which makes her feel guilty about taking advantage of other people's hard work.

"When you failed the interview, did anyone give you travel expenses? This is how society works."

Tang Caidie smiled lightly and patted Chen Jinchun's head like an elder: "This may also be an opportunity for you."

"Opportunity?" Chen Jinchun blinked, looking confused.

Tang Caidie looked towards Lu Liang's office: "Mr. Lu should be short of an assistant, but he himself hasn't noticed it."

"Anyone can be the front desk clerk, but an assistant is different. He will be Mr. Lu's confidant, and his salary and benefits will be much higher."

She saw it very clearly, but did not remind Lu Liang.

Because Lu Liang has to discover this kind of thing himself. If she brings it up, people will inevitably think that she has ulterior motives.

"Sister, why do you..."

Chen Jinchun was puzzled. She was just a little dull but not stupid. Why didn't Tang Caidie go for such a good thing herself?

Tang Caidie laughed at herself and said calmly: "We are different. I am old and cannot be acquainted with him."

She is 37 years old this year, and it is rare for her to find a job that matches her major and has a decent salary.

But Chen Jinchun is different. He graduated from university at the age of 22, when he was in the prime of his life. Although it was a second-tier university, it was enough.

Tang Caidie has been working for more than ten years and knows that academic qualifications are just a stepping stone. If it is not a technical position, its role will be even smaller.

What's more, Chen Jinchun is a fresh graduate and has a blank slate at work. Bosses will prefer people they have trained themselves.

"Thank you, Sister Tang."

Chen Jinchun was grateful beyond words.

Ever since they met, Tang Caidie has been particularly nice to her and has been teaching her the rules of the workplace.

"You can check the situation online first. It shouldn't be difficult to find a private English tutor. Then ask them to come for an interview. If you think they are suitable, ask them to go to Mr. Lu."

Tang Caidie smiled, returned to her workstation to organize the documents, prepared to go home to pack her luggage, and go to Dalian for Lu Liang.

When she was at Sequoia, she was very utilitarian and had a strong sense of purpose in everything she did.

Moreover, they never do business at a loss, so don't even think about asking her to teach new people for free.

The result was that her husband spent her money and cheated on her, and her life and work became a mess.

After recuperating in the Cai Nankai B&B for a few years, Tang Caidie no longer had the utilitarianism she had in the past.

I am willing to help Chen Jinchun now because I like her, that's all.

……

The stock market opens at one o'clock.
Lu Liang repeated the steps from the morning.

Although the transaction steps are the same, there are slight changes each time, which prevents him from feeling boring.

Because the market is fluid, no matter how carefully the dealer controls the market, there will always be uncertainties. Just like a sentence in "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator", we should always have a reverent heart towards the market, because the market is driven by tens of millions of investors, and even if Jesus were alive, he could not guess the minds of tens of millions of people.

This is an autobiographical novel. The protagonist is Livermore, who once challenged the king of speculation on Wall Street.

When the stock market closed at 411 p.m., Lu Liang's capital position reached 4272 million and the number of shares held reached lots.

Compared with the morning, the buying funds are much less.

The trading volume dropped sharply in the afternoon and the activity was not as good as in the morning. It was difficult for him to take action and he had to wait and see for a longer time.

Lu Liang closed his eyes and rested. He felt his mouth was a little dry. He wanted to call for help, but then he remembered that this was the company, not home.

He walked out of the office with a cup of water and happened to see Chen Jinchun talking to someone in the conference room.

The other person was a girl, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, wearing thick black-framed glasses and looking a little reserved.

Looks like he's here for an interview.

However, Chen Jinchun was not much better. His eyes were wandering, his hands and feet were unnatural, and he kept asking the same question over and over again, giving people a very unreliable feeling.

Lu Liang suddenly laughed out loud. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was the interviewee and who was the interviewer.

Hearing the noise at the door, Chen Jinchun turned his head and looked, his face excited, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

She hurriedly took out her resume and said, "Mr. Lu, this is Miss Su Wanyu Su, here for an interview as an English tutor."

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

Su Wanyu was startled and quickly stood up.

"Graduated from Shanghai International Studies University, English level 2, Japanese N1, French C..."

Lu Liang nodded slightly and found that the other party was a language genius, proficient in four foreign languages, and at least German was at level B1.

He walked to the tea room, poured himself a glass of ice water, then walked towards the office, waved and said, "Try it first."

Lu Liang opened the blinds of the office again so that people outside could see clearly what was happening inside.

He really wants to learn English and learn it well.

Seeing this move, Su Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, greeted Chen Jinchun, and followed closely.

"Mr. Lu, may I ask if you have any basic knowledge? I can help you develop a study plan."

When it comes to professional fields, Su Wanyu is confident, as if she has become a different person.

"I signed up for the CET-4 exam ten years ago, but failed. I have some basic knowledge, but not much."

"Then I'll play you a conversation in English. See how much you can understand?"

Su Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have a foundation. What she feared most was being old and having no foundation.

A 90-second conversation, roughly about whether you have eaten, where to eat, and whether to go together, is very down-to-earth.

Lu Liang could understand about 70% of it by guessing.

Su Wanyu was surprised: "Mr. Lu, if you can understand this, then it should be enough for daily conversation."

Lu Liang smiled and turned the computer screen towards Su Wanyu: "But if you want to read some professional articles, it's still hard to understand."

Su Wanyu suddenly felt a lot of pressure. If she wanted to read the Wall Street Journal fluently, she not only needed to know how to do it, but also to be proficient in it.

If we use the domestic definition of illiteracy, then more than 90% of people in the United States should be illiterate.

Chinese can be said to be the most refined language in the world. There are only about 7,000 commonly used characters. As long as you can understand these characters, you can understand almost any meaning.

Even new words that have emerged in recent years, such as diving, fishing, and releasing water, have multiple meanings and people can understand their new meanings without adding new words.

But English is different. Since the advent of the Internet age, the number of new words has increased by about 1 per year.

Sometimes, for some new things, you need to put many words together to understand their meaning.

Even professors at Shanghai International Studies University often come across words they don't understand and have to look them up in the latest Oxford Dictionary.

"Mr. Lu, if you want to read the British daily newspaper fluently, you need to reserve a large number of words."

Su Wanyu kindly reminded that this process is very long, and she charges 400 yuan per class, which is not cheap.

"It's okay. I'm ready."

Lu Liang didn’t think it was a matter of money. He thought Su Wanyu was worried that he couldn’t hold on.

"Well, Mr. Lu, I'll read a sentence and you repeat it after me, and I'll explain the meaning to you..."
