1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 375 How Amazing Must This Language Talent Be?
Because the abacus was big enough, Chu Xue put both of her hands on it.

The man kept chanting for more than ten minutes, and his own mouth became dry, but Chu Xue showed no abnormality whatsoever.

After the last set of numbers was read out, everyone looked at the abacus in unison and gasped in surprise. To their astonishment, they hadn't made a single mistake while manipulating the beads with both hands.

After a brief silence, everyone in the room applauded. The person in charge spoke again: "Young lady, you are excellent. If your exam results are satisfactory, then our accounting department welcomes you to join us."

Chu Xue simply smiled and thanked her. After all, the results hadn't been released yet, so it was best to keep a low profile to avoid causing trouble.

After thanking the people inside, he left.

He made sure to close the door before leaving.

As soon as she left, the six people in the room went wild: "Director, such a good prospect, our department wants her."

"Director, everyone knows that our Second Section has the heaviest workload. Someone like this should be assigned to our Second Section."

The Third Section was not to be outdone: "Director, if our Third Section had such talent joining us, you wouldn't have to worry so much at the end of each month, don't you think?"

For a moment, everyone was arguing their case, and the heads of the three departments all wanted to transfer the person to their own departments, so no one heard Chu Xue go into the opposite room after leaving.

After Chu Xue entered the room where the foreign language exam was being held, the other people inside were also puzzled, as the exam downstairs had not yet ended.

They did hear the applause from the other side, but they didn't pay it any mind. After all, the people in their factory office always looked down on other departments, and they were just discussing the exam content and direction.

Just as they were wondering, Chu Xue spoke up: "Hello, I am Liu Chu Xue, who came here to take the foreign language test."

There are only four people in charge of the assessment here.

One of the men stood up: "What foreign language can you speak? Or rather, what foreign language can you translate?"

After all, they have few reception duties; most of their work involves translating various documents.

Before Chuxue arrived, she had already decided to keep her abilities to herself, otherwise it would be difficult to explain: "English and German." Even this answer surprised the four: "What level are you at?"

Chu Xue replied without hesitation, "Communication and translation are not a problem."

The man handed me a document: "Read it once."

First Snow noticed it was in German, so she read it through before speaking: "Die Stahlwalzwerk ist eine wichtige"

The pronunciation of "first snow" was comparable to standard pronunciation. After reading it aloud, two of the German speakers exchanged a glance: "Looks like we're having a lucky day."

Then one of them handed over another piece of English material: "Read it in English again."

Chu Xue accepted the document without hesitation and read it through in its entirety: "A steel rolling mill is a place full of vigor and hard work."

After Chu Xue finished reading, all four people present smiled. It was the same person who had spoken first: "Your name is Liu Chu Xue, right?"

First Snow nodded: "Yes."

The man introduced himself: "I am Chen Nianxiang, the director of the factory's general office. Young lady, who taught you your English and German? Your pronunciation is very standard."

Chu Xue was well-prepared, after all, these days one wrong move can lead to disaster: "I learned it from my teacher when I was in high school. She used to be a professor at Tsinghua University. After her two sons died, she returned to her hometown school in Changping to teach. It was by chance that we became acquainted. Later, I would study foreign languages ​​with my teacher for half an hour every morning and evening."

What she said was indeed true. There was indeed such a teacher at the commune high school, who had taught the original owner of a foreign language for a few months. Unfortunately, the teacher missed her son too much and only stayed at the school for a little over a year. After that, she took sick leave due to depression and committed suicide at home not long after.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianxiang held Chu Xue in even higher regard. Just how amazing must her language talent be? Their department needed someone with such talent, and even before she was officially hired, he was already thinking about how to train her.

Chu Xue couldn't stand the eager gazes any longer: "Leaders, does this assessment count as passing?"
