the other side.

"Xin'er, you're the perfect interpreter for this international conference. Your spoken English was the best back in school."

Zhuang Xiaoting looked determined to succeed; anyone who didn't know better would think she was going to become a translator.

Wenxin glanced casually out the window.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be."

Zhuang Xiaoting looked at Wen Xin'er with a pained expression. When did her Xin'er become so insecure?

It's all that bitch Shen Lu's fault; she's been jumping around and making herself look good.

If it weren't for her meddling, I should have been able to work at the translation institute with Xin'er.

It's all Zhuang Xiaoting's fault.

No one has ever dared to disobey Zhuang Xiaoting in her entire life, but Shen Lu's actions these past few days have already angered her.

Zhuang Xiaoting wished that Shen Lu, that bitch, would suffer a terrible death.

Wenxin took in the resentful expression on her face.

When Dean Jiang saw that only Wen Xin'er and Zhuang Xiaoting were in the office, he frowned and asked.

"Why isn't Shen Lu here yet?" He called Shen Lu over today to select between her and Wen Xin'er to serve as translators at an international conference.

Although he was more inclined towards Shen Lu, he had never heard of Shen Lu's spoken English, so he wasn't very sure.

"Who knows? Maybe something happened on the way and they'll never come back."

Zhuang Xiaoting looked on with schadenfreude.

Upon hearing this, Dean Jiang's face turned as black as if it could drip water.

"Miss, what gives you the right to sit here?"

Zhuang Xiaoting's smile froze: "I'm Xin'er's friend."

Dean Jiang said to his assistant behind him, "Unrelated personnel, clean up the scene immediately."

"Yes." The assistant immediately grabbed Zhuang Xiaoting and started to walk out.

Zhuang Xiaoting struggled violently and tried to slap her assistant.

"Let go! Who do you think you are, daring to touch me! Believe me or not, I'll make sure you can't stay here any longer."

"Are you threatening my assistant?" Dean Jiang's voice was so cold it seemed to freeze.

Zhuang Xiaoting wasn't afraid of many people, but Dean Jiang happened to be one of them. Dean Jiang's family background was unfathomable, and even her father wouldn't dare to provoke him easily, let alone her.

Zhuang Xiaoting could only awkwardly explain, "No, I didn't mean that..."

"Xiaoting, go outside and wait for me for a bit. Don't worry, I can manage on my own." Wenxin'er gently smoothed things over, giving Zhuang Xiaoting a way out.

Zhuang Xiaoting slunk away with her tail between her legs.

"Dean Jiang, please excuse my rudeness. Xiaoting didn't mean it; she's just too concerned about me."

As Wenxin spoke, she lowered her head shyly, implying that he must be captivated by her understanding nature.

Dean Jiang is a promising young man with a powerful family background, and he is still unmarried.

Of course, such a high-quality man would consider developing a relationship with her.

"Do you live by the sea?" Dean Jiang asked in return.

Wenxin stood there stunned, only realizing later that Dean Jiang was implying why she was meddling so much.

Wenxin'er's fake smile could no longer be maintained.

She thought that Dean Jiang would at least be a respectable person.

The two waited in the office for half an hour, but Shen Lu still did not appear.

Dean Jiang pondered deeply. Based on his understanding of Shen Lu over the past month and a half, it was impossible for her to be absent without a reason.

Did something happen to Shen Lu?

Shen Lu remained silent for a long time, and a ruthless glint flashed in Wen Xin'er's eyes. It seemed that things were almost settled over there...

When Wenxin looked up, her face regained its usual gentleness, and she chuckled softly.

"Dean Jiang, Shen Lu might not be able to make it today, so why don't we go here instead?"

Wenxin stopped at the right time.

There are only two candidates. Since Shen Lu can't come, she should naturally be chosen.

There's nothing wrong with what was said, but it took on a different meaning when it came from Wenxin'er's mouth.

Jiang Wanzhou retorted sharply, "What, do you really want something to happen to Shen Lu?"

Even with her good temper, Wenxin couldn't help but feel angry. How could the dean have such a venomous mouth?

He'd probably poison himself if he just licked his own lips.

Jiang Wanzhou could no longer hold back and prepared to get up and go find Shen Lu.

Just then, Shen Lu's voice came from the doorway.

"I'm sorry, Dean, I ran into some trouble on the way."

Wenxin walked in with a limp. She had scraped her knee when she fell, and the large bruises on her leg looked quite gruesome.

Wenxin'er kept observing carefully, trying to ascertain Shen Lu's condition.

Shen Lu looked to be in bad shape. In addition to the bruises on her legs, half of her beautiful face was also red and swollen, and the dust and dirt on her skirt made people feel uneasy.

Wenxin'er's prediction was almost certainly correct, and she couldn't resist coming forward to provoke Shen Lu.

She wanted to see Shen Lu go crazy and lose control in front of everyone.

"Shen Lu, are you alright? There are so many thugs out there. You should have been more careful. As a woman, I feel sorry for you."

"You pity me?"

Shen Lu's gaze was as warm as an icicle.

"How do you know what happened to me? You're here to pity me, as if you had some influence on this?"

Wenxin'er didn't expect that Shen Lu's sixth sense was as sharp as a wolf's, and that she would suspect her so quickly.

Regarding this matter, Shen Lu would rather wrong a hundred innocent people than let a single guilty person go free.

If it weren't for that regimental commander saving me today, they might have really succeeded.

Shen Lu wasn't stupid; she didn't think this matter was that simple.

A group of people on the main street actually dared to drag themselves into an alley.

"How are you? Do you need me to go to the hospital with you?"

Shen Lu shook her head: "A passerby saved me."

"The police will provide details later."

Despite experiencing such a thing, Shen Lu did not let her emotions affect her work.

She has always been such a rational person, no matter what happens on the first day in modern times.

Shen Lu would go to work on time every day, like a wound-up clock that never stopped.

Jiang Wanzhou's eyes revealed his appreciation for Shen Lu.

When I first arrived, although my appearance was somewhat different from others, after only a month and a half, I was completely transformed.

If you put Shen Lu from a month and a half ago and Shen Lu now side by side, Jiang Wanzhou is sure she wouldn't recognize them as the same person.

Since Shen Lu had said everything was fine, Jiang Wanzhou didn't linger.

"There's an international conference that needs an interpreter, and I'm going to choose between you and Wenxin. They need to have good spoken English."

Shen Lu nodded to indicate that she understood.

Jiang Wanzhou handed the prepared manuscript to Shen Lu: "Take a look at it first. The judges will make their selections in half an hour."

Shen Lu looked at Wen Xin'er.

"You've already read the manuscript while I was away, haven't you?"

Wenxin nodded.

"Let's get started."

Looking at her, Jiang Wanzhou understood from Shen Lu's calm and confident expression that she wasn't giving up.

So they announced it directly.

"start."

Seeing Shen Lu's calm and composed demeanor, Wenxin'er panicked, and her prepared spoken language became stammering.

The judges in the audience shook their heads as they listened.

In contrast, Shen Lu, despite her stained clothes and numerous injuries, translated with utmost care.

His spoken language is fluent and clear, and his pronunciation is even more standard than that of native speakers. He exudes a powerful aura.

After Shen Lu finished translating the entire manuscript in one go, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

Wenxin'er's tightly clenched fist trembled slightly.

The applause felt like slaps to her face.

The more Shen Lu is applauded, the more it proves how bad she is.

Shen Lu caught a glimpse of Wen Xin'er running away as if fleeing.

Jiang Wanzhou interrupted her train of thought by speaking.

"Let me introduce you to the person you're translating for this project."

As Jiang Wanzhou spoke, he led her to the next room.

Shen Lu saw a familiar figure.

Exactly...
