Perhaps she came to the wrong place? The housekeeping center next door is clearly a better fit for her.

Despite the malice emanating from all directions, Shen Lu remained calmly focused on what lay ahead, showing little reaction.

She understood that appearance always influenced people's first impression of her.

With her current obese and greasy body, it's hard not to look down on her.

Even though appearance has a significant impact, it cannot play a decisive role.

Before Shen Lu came in, she had some concerns. She had never worked as a translator before, and she wondered if she would be able to handle the job.

But after hearing the staff's slurred accents, Shen Lu's confidence soared.

If someone with this level of ability can get a job, then I can definitely get it easily.

With absolute certainty, Shen Lu became even more composed and confident.

Even if this translation institute doesn't want her, she can find a similar job through her own abilities.

When the man next to her heard that Shen Lu was there to apply for a job, he didn't look at her with prejudice like the others.

Instead, he patiently invited her into his office.

"Hello, my surname is Jiang. You can call me Dean Jiang."

Shen Lu nodded slightly: "Shen Lu."

"Do you have any similar work experience if you want to apply for this job?"

Although I have done a lot of foreign trade business, I have never actually done professional translation.

So, Shen Lu shook her head very honestly.

Dean Jiang wrote down Shen Lu's information on the paper and continued to ask questions.

"Do you have any relevant certificates or graduation documents?"

The original owner became self-destructive after getting married, and did not continue his studies after graduating from high school. He did not even take the college entrance examination, so he did not have a diploma.

Shen Lu continued to shake her head.

Dean Jiang showed a hint of regret on his face.

"Ms. Shen, we only hire professionals. Perhaps you could first obtain the relevant certifications."

Dean Jiang put it very tactfully.

Shen Lu wanted to try again and spoke up.

"Although I don't have a relevant graduation diploma, I still hope to have a chance to prove myself. I have many years of experience in spoken English and have no problem handling international communication and literary translation."

Shen Lu spoke calmly, her clear black and white eyes looking at Dean Jiang.

Just as Dean Jiang hesitated, his assistant pushed open the door and entered.

"Dean Jiang, the people who are preparing to apply are already waiting next door. When would you like to start the written test?"

Upon hearing this, Dean Jiang pondered for a moment and then looked up at Shen Lu.

"Would you be interested in trying the translation test later?"

Shen Lu nodded immediately; she desperately needed an opportunity to prove her skills.

This translation test is the best opportunity.

Dean Jiang instructed his assistant.

"Make another copy of the original English manuscript."

After everything was ready, Shen Lu followed her secretary to the office next door.

The office next door had only one huge conference table, where seven people were sitting.

When the seven people saw the obese Shen Lu, they all showed expressions of disgust on their faces.

When they saw Shen Lulu sitting at the conference table, everyone was even more incredulous, with expressions of doubt and disdain on their faces.

What a joke! Is this obese housewife going to compete with them?

Did she recognize all 26 letters of the alphabet?

Shen Lu sat down without paying attention.

This time was different from before; she felt a strong gaze upon her amidst the stares of the crowd.

Shen Lu followed the gaze and saw a young woman sitting there, looking at her with disbelief.

She wore a light blue suit skirt and her hair was tied up, making her look very capable and professional.

If one could ignore the malice in her eyes, Shen Lu might even praise her.

The woman next to the woman in the blue suit dress was whispering to the short-haired girl beside her.

The person next to Shen Lu looked at her with schadenfreude. She nudged Wen Xin'er with her elbow and muttered something.

"Xin'er, isn't this Shen Lu, who lives in the same military compound as you? Why are you here applying for jobs with us?"

"Won't I be incredibly embarrassed if I find out what the job requirements are later?"

They were in the same grade as Shen Lu when they were in school. Back then, Shen Lu was at the bottom of the class and didn't know many English words, yet she dared to come here to apply for a translation job.

Wenxin chuckled softly: "What kind of earth-shattering stupid things wouldn't this foolish woman do?"

The two of them didn't take Shen Lu seriously; in fact, they were just watching the show.

The original owner's memories were mostly vague, and Shen Lu only knew them through guesswork.

Although Shen Lu felt that the other person looked somewhat familiar, she couldn't remember his identity.

So he didn't pay any attention to them and looked away.

After the assistant arrived, he brought over the written test materials and distributed them; there were two pages in total.

Dean Jiang announced the rules.

"You have two sheets of paper in front of you. The contents of the paper are the original manuscript of the famous book 'How the Steel Was Tempered.' The one who translates it the fastest, most accurately, and most beautifully will be accepted."

After understanding the rules, everyone began to translate them as quickly as possible.

After all, speed was included as a criterion in the written test.

Wenxin'er's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Shen Lu.

While everyone else was writing furiously, this woman was looking the exam paper up and down.

Wenxin'er secretly mocked Shen Lu, thinking that Shen Lu probably couldn't even tell which page was the first page.

Shen Lu didn't rush to put pen to paper, because she knew that translating wasn't difficult, but translating accurately and beautifully was the most important thing.

To achieve this level, the most important thing is to connect it to the context.

Only by translating in this way can we provide the most accurate translation for each sentence.

Shen Lu read the entire manuscript twice before she began to write.

By this time, the group had translated about half of it.

After Shen Lu started writing, she stopped looking at the original manuscript and wrote the translation in one go, relying on her memory.

Wenxin'er took in the whole scene.

I almost burst out laughing. Shen Lu probably couldn't understand a single word, so she just scribbled something on the paper.

Shen Lu wrote very quickly, covering two pages of content. By the time she finished writing those two pages, the others were also nearing the end of their translations.

Shen Lu stood up and, in full view of everyone, handed her translation to Dean Jiang.

Dean Jiang was somewhat surprised that among so many top students, Shen Lu was the first to hand in her paper.

However, he calmly accepted it for review.

The handwriting wasn't delicate like other girls', but rather flowing and vigorous.

Dean Jiang couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for him.

Upon seeing the first paragraph, Dean Jiang immediately straightened his previously casual posture.
