Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"Well, Lao Duan, we are penniless right now. Please advance us some money and food coupons."

"No problem, no problem. We've made all the arrangements for you."

The office director immediately took out two envelopes and handed them to the father and son.

There were fifty yuan and twenty kilograms of national food coupons in the envelope, as well as twenty kilograms of Jingjiang Province food coupons.

In Jingjiang Province, they are all considered "hard currency".

In addition, there were shoe tickets, cloth tickets, and two kilograms of non-staple food tickets.

The preparations are quite complete.

Tan Dexi was not polite with his old classmate at all. He counted the money in front of him, then nodded to Duan Weimin with satisfaction and said, "Old Duan, you are so thoughtful!"

Duan Weimin smiled and shook his head: "Hey, it's really not easy to get a compliment from you..."

"Okay, now that we've had enough to eat and drink, it's time to get to work. Putting everything else aside, find me two reliable translators to translate those English documents first."

The calculation task can only be completed by Tan Dexi himself.

This is where the core technology lies.

If the institute could accomplish this, there would be no need to invite Old Tan all the way from Chuzhou.

Duan Weimin suddenly showed an embarrassment and said, "Old classmate, you know, it's easy to find a Russian translator, but it's really difficult to find an English translator... We can't just go find someone who is unreliable."

In the 1950s, we enjoyed a honeymoon period with the Soviet Union, which produced a large number of Russian-speaking professionals. But finding English majors is indeed difficult. Unlike later times, English isn't a core subject these days. Even if the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination) were reinstated next year, English wouldn't be a required subject. Only those majoring in foreign languages ​​would be required to take an additional foreign language.

"There are a few people who know English at the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, but they're all swamped. As for our university, it's confidential... Old classmate, I know you're good at English, so how about I give you a break?"

Tan Dexi didn't argue with him this time. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "But this will slow down the progress."

After all, his energy is limited, and it is impossible for him to split himself in two and do two things at once.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Liu Hongyi suddenly said, "Teacher, how about I give it a try?"

"you?"

Not only Duan Weimin and the others were in disbelief, but even Tan Dexi was shocked.

Tan Dexi had only a short time of contact with Liu Hongyi, but he felt that he was extremely intelligent and had outstanding creative thinking, but was he also proficient in English?

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Teacher, I've been self-studying English for a while now. We have an English teacher at No. 1 Middle School who's pretty good. Besides, don't we have an English-Chinese dictionary? I'll learn while I work. If I come across something I really don't understand, I'll leave it blank and ask the teacher to fill it in when the time comes. It'll save me some time, at least."

Liu Hongyi had carefully considered taking the initiative to take on the task of translating the English materials.

There is no need to worry about being "exposed".

Time travel and rebirth are such outrageous things that even if you say it yourself, you have to make others believe it.

At most, I just think that his talent is too high and unbelievable.

Showing off his extraordinary talent in front of Duan Weimin, Tan Dexi, and the others wasn't a bad thing. It would only make Tan Dexi respect him even more. Duan Weimin, on the other hand, was a broad-minded man, holding a high position. Gaining his favor was a win-win.

"Okay, since you volunteered, I'll let you try."

Tan Dexi is also a very decisive person and made the decision immediately.

"Try translating a passage for me tonight. If you can, we'll continue!"

"Okay, thank you teacher."

Liu Hongyi behaved politely and responded very appropriately.

"Why are you thanking me? If you can really take on this task, it would be a huge help to me. Our research progress would be greatly accelerated."

Tan Dexi said, patting him on the shoulder and speaking encouragingly.
