50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 215 Actual Combat
After Sun Zhiwei came over, he did not interrupt Ren Dongmei. He let Qi Miaomiao be scolded for a long time, and then he handed over the paper box and water while she was talking.

"Miaomiao, Comrade Dongmei, there's chocolate inside, you all should have some."

"We are non-staff members, and there is no lunch prepared for us here at noon."

"We have to go back to eat after the meeting. We probably won't be able to make it in time. You've all been very exhausted today. Eat some sweets to replenish your energy."

"Comrade Dongmei, I'll give this to you. You'll be responsible for distributing it. Remember, don't drink too much water, as it won't be convenient for you to leave during the meeting."

Ren Dongmei took it without hesitation. After the girls thanked Sun Zhiwei, she opened the box and began to distribute the chocolates.

The box of chocolates was quite large, and the girls each had two pieces, with half left. Ren Dongmei wanted to return the rest to Sun Zhiwei, but he refused.

"Keep it. Give each person two more pieces. Pinch them into small pieces and put them in your pocket. If you can't hold on any longer, just secretly put a small piece in your mouth."

Ren Dongmei had no objection to dividing the chocolates. They were all little girls, so who wouldn't like sweets? However, she felt that Sun Zhiwei's method was questionable.

"This, this is an international conference."

"They come here about ten to twenty times a year, all asking for money. Just be careful and don't take it too seriously."

"Besides, we're in a corner, no one's paying attention, and the cameras aren't pointing at us. As long as we're careful, we'll be fine."

After they finished eating, half an hour had passed and the meeting was about to continue, so Sun Zhiwei and others began to prepare to enter.

Suddenly, team leader Gong Xiaoyun came over hurriedly.

"Comrades, new members from two countries have just arrived unexpectedly. We don't have enough translators. Who among you can fill in now?"

The girls were a little flustered for a moment and didn't say anything. The team leader then looked at Sun Zhiwei and said, "Zhiwei, you speak."

Sun Zhiwei thought for a moment and replied, "Team leader, I can take over the position."

"Several female comrades have done very well in their translation practice, but I still recommend that Comrade Ren Dongmei take the other position first. She is older, has a more stable personality, and is more capable of responding to situations."

He did not choose Ren Dongmei randomly. Several girls were actually competing secretly. Later generations often said that 5 girls form 8 groups, which also has a basis in reality.

Among the five girls, only the oldest one, Ren Dongmei, has the best personality and usually gives in to the other four girls.

But she was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She was always the first to step forward when problems arose, and the other girls all obeyed her. Therefore, only by choosing Ren Dongmei could they avoid conflicts.

Team leader Gong was not familiar with their situation, but she had heard about Sun Zhiwei, so she was quite supportive of him.

So, she turned to Ren Dongmei and asked, "Comrade Ren Dongmei, can you come up?"

Ren Dongmei had no idea that Sun Zhiwei would mention her name. She didn't know how to respond when she heard the team leader's question.

There was no need to hesitate at this point. She calmed herself down and replied seriously, "Yes."

"That's settled then. Here are the data and personnel information for the two countries. You two should familiarize yourself with them now. I'll take you to the teams of the two countries."

Team leader Gong handed the two documents in his hand to the two people and continued to give them instructions.

"Remember our regulations? You must follow them. Don't answer questions you can't answer, don't agree to things you can't promise, and report any problems afterward."

"Yes." "Understood." Soon, Sun Zhiwei and Ren Dongmei were brought to two new delegations.

After Team Leader Gong introduced the two people's names, he left. Ren Dongmei and Sun Zhiwei took the initiative to introduce themselves, and soon they became familiar with their respective delegation members.

When the meeting resumed, they entered through the main entrance with the new delegation.

There were reporters taking pictures at the main entrance, the sound of "click, click" continued, and the flash cameras kept flashing.

Ren Dongmei, who was facing this situation for the first time, was a little panicked at first, but she quickly calmed down and entered the venue with the delegation.

Sun Zhiwei nodded secretly after seeing this from behind. He really did not choose the wrong person this time.

The second half of the meeting lasted another hour and a half, and both new delegations spoke.

Sun Zhiwei and Ren Dongmei performed well as translators of the delegation. There were no lags and translation problems throughout the entire process, and they delivered an excellent result.

After the meeting, when they came out of the conference hall, the new official translator had arrived. Sun Zhiwei and Ren Dongmei left after a smooth handover.

Outside, four little girls were waiting there. When they saw them come out, they rushed over. Sun Zhiwei was so scared that he quickly stepped back and let Ren Dongmei stand in front of him.

After the little girls grabbed Ren Dongmei's arms, they were all amused by his exaggerated movements and expressions and laughed so hard that they bent over. Sun Zhiwei could only shake his head, say goodbye to them, and go out to return to the unit.

After returning, they had lunch in the cafeteria, took a short rest and continued their afternoon practice.

During the break in the middle of the practice, Sun Zhiwei and Ren Dongmei carefully introduced the problems encountered during the meeting. They gained the most this time and naturally did not hesitate to share their experience with the girls.

After dinner in the evening, Team Leader Gong came over to praise the two of them. Afterwards, the six of them continued to practice simultaneous interpretation while watching the video in the small conference room.

Shortly after 7:, when they were training seriously, suddenly, the ground shook, the whole room swayed, and the ceiling fan above their heads swung like a swing.

The little girls screamed in fear, and Sun Zhiwei shouted, "Get under the table!"

The little girls, startled by his loud voice, finally reacted and quickly hid under the table.

Sun Zhiwei rushed to the front, moved the TV on the cabinet to the ground, and then crawled under a nearby table.

The earthquake lasted for dozens of seconds before it ended. Sun Zhiwei quickly told them to run out of the building to prevent aftershocks.

When they ran out, they found that there was also a lot of noise outside the building, and a large group of people were standing in the open space and lawn outside.

Sun Zhiwei first looked at the people around him and found no one seriously injured. He then looked at the houses around him and found no collapse.

Only then did he confirm that the capital was definitely not the epicenter. Thinking about the current date, he finally remembered the details of the earthquake in his previous life.

The earthquake in East BH City was 7.3 on the Richter scale and intensity 9 at the epicenter.

He was able to remember the information about this earthquake because it was the only earthquake in human history that was successfully predicted in advance and evacuation was organized in advance, thus greatly reducing the disaster losses.

With an earthquake of this magnitude, occurring in a densely populated industrial area, if it had not been for advance forecast and evacuation, the casualties would have been unimaginable.
