In the service center, Deputy Director Wang was flipping through the files. Deputy Director Zhou, who was beside him, said to the staff of the service center,"Look carefully and see who knows Mandingo. Don't make any mistakes!”
"Yes, Secretary Zhou!"
The few of them nodded.
Just as they were talking, Director Zhao pushed the door open and said,"Secretary Zhou, Director Wang, I brought someone for you! He said he knows Mandingo. I'll bring it to you. See if it works!”
"Someone knows? That's great!"
Upon hearing this, Director Zhou and Deputy Director Wang raised their heads and said with surprise.
"Who knows Mandingo? Let me see!"
As Deputy Director Wang spoke, he saw Gu Chen.
"Gu Chen?"
Deputy Director Wang was obviously stunned for a moment. He said in surprise,"Xiao Chen, you know Mandingo? This isn't German or English, you must be joking!”
Deputy Director Wang knew about Gu Chen. After all, he was the one who handled the files for Gu Chen when he came to the foreign education department.
He knew that Gu Chen was the grandson of the former Secretary of the Western Continent Department, so he reminded him not to be stupid at this critical moment. If he were to make a joke and delay the matter, it would be bad.
"Chief Wang, I really know how to do it!" Gu Chen said.
"You really know how to do it?"
"I really will!"
……
"Alright, just talking won't do. Gu Chen, right? How about this, I'll call the translator in the department who knows Mandingo. You say a paragraph for him to hear. If it's okay, I'll bring you along!”
At the crucial moment, it was Deputy Secretary Zhou who interrupted this unsolvable conversation.
"Alright!" Gu Chen nodded.
Deputy Director Zhou called the interpreter who was still on vacation in the Maldives. After the call was connected, Deputy Director Zhou explained the situation and then turned on the speaker to let Gu Chen communicate with him.
Gu Chen and the interpreter talked on the phone. Deputy Director Zhou and the others were confused. In the end, the interpreter said,"Secretary Zhou, the translator you found is amazing! You're even more authentic than me! I think that's all the locals can do!"
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work!" Deputy Secretary Zhou hung up the phone and was surprised.
Deputy Director Wang was also overjoyed. He found Gu Chen's file and asked,"Since you know how to speak, why didn't your file say that you know Mandingo?”
"I actually know sixteen languages. Grandpa told me to keep a low profile, so I wrote four languages. I thought that Mandingo was a small language that I learned by myself, so I didn't write it!”Gu Chen used his grandfather as a shield.
At the same time, he also said that he knew the languages of the sixteen kingdoms. Although it was shocking, it was not shocking.
In the diplomatic system, although there were few students who knew more than ten languages, there were still some.
"Gu Chen's grandfather is Secretary Gu, who just retired some time ago. He can be said to have grown up in our Foreign Education Department's compound!”Deputy Director Wang added a sentence at the right time to explain to Secretary Zhou.
Upon hearing this, Deputy Secretary Zhou's expression changed. His face was full of surprise as he said in admiration,"Not bad, Little Chen. You know the languages of the sixteen countries. You're really amazing! Like father, like son. It seemed like Secretary Gu had a successor!”
"However, young people shouldn't be afraid of being in the limelight. Since you have talent, you should show it. Xiao Chen is not bad. Work hard and strive to be stationed overseas as soon as possible!”
"Thank you, Secretary Zhou. Thank you, Chief Wang!”
Gu Chen smiled and said.
"Alright, it's settled then. Gu Chen, get ready. We'll set off with the Ministry of Commerce in three days!”
After solving a problem, Secretary Zhou was in a good mood.
……
After sending Secretary Zhou away, Deputy Director Wang looked at Gu Chen and said in disbelief,"Gu Chen, do you really know the languages of the sixteen kingdoms?”
"Yes!"
Chief Wang could not believe it. After all, Gu Chen used to leave the impression that he was a good-for-nothing, ignorant, and incompetent.
He heard that Secretary Gu's family was extremely worried about him.
"Gu Chen, you also know that the language requirements of our foreign teachers 'department are different from those outside. They have to be very professional. Have you taken the test for all these languages?"”
"I passed Grade 8 in English in university, and I passed Grade N1 in Japanese during university. I studied German and French during my postgraduate studies, and I took the highest level before graduation. As for the other languages, I haven't had the time to take the exam, but I'm confident that I can pass the highest level!”Gu Chen said.
"Not bad, Gu Chen. I didn't expect you to be a language genius!”
Gu Chen's performance today could be said to have refreshed Deputy Director Wang's impression of him. He could not help but say with emotion,"Xiao Chen, you must perform well this time when you get the opportunity to follow the diplomatic mission abroad.”
"You're a diplomatic family. Your grandfather and your father both work in the foreign education department. You can't stop working in your generation, right?!”
Chief Wang said," It's a great advantage to know one more language in our foreign education department. You know the languages of the sixteen countries, which means that you have a great advantage and opportunity compared to others…You were ignorant and incompetent in the past, which made your grandfather worried…Now you know that it's fine as long as you learn well. With your talent and appearance, you can be stationed abroad very quickly with a little experience!”
"Thank you for your advice, Chief Wang!" Gu Chen thanked him sincerely.
Deputy Director Wang's words could be said to be from the bottom of his heart.
This was very rare in the government.
"No need to thank me!" Deputy Director Wang patted Gu Chen's shoulder."Come, let's go to the service center and file all the languages of the sixteen kingdoms into your file! This is your ability, you have to show it!”
" I'll also give you some training on diplomatic matters…"
