After Liu Jianhua made the final decision on Gu Zhan's matter, he left in a hurry, saying that he had other things to do.

Li Yuquan has not yet recovered from the shock. Is this Director Liu, who is always rigorous in his work?

He actually made an exception for this young man and hired him without taking an exam. This was a great fortune for this young man.

Seeing that Gu Zhan was fully immersed in his work, Li Yuquan rubbed his hands together and did not interrupt him. He only arranged for a staff member named Yu Gang to quickly clean up an empty room in the unit as a lounge for Gu Zhan to use temporarily.

No matter what Gu Zhan does, he is extremely focused. When he opens the first page of the book and starts writing, he has completely immersed himself in the world of the book. Everything outside has nothing to do with him anymore.

It was not until Li Yuquan called him to eat that he pulled his thoughts out of the book.

"Xiao Gu, shall we go eat?"

Gu Zhan rubbed his sore eyes and said "Okay".

Li Yuquan took Gu Zhan and went straight to the state-owned canteen in Jing City.

Li Yuquan was really happy today. The appearance of Gu Zhan finally broke the dilemma of not being able to find a translator, which allowed him to explain to both his superiors and subordinates.

After glancing at the menu on the wall, Li Yuquan said generously, "Xiao Gu, feel free to order whatever you like. It's my treat. Let's have a good meal today."

Gu Zhan glanced at the menu and declined with a smile: "Director Li, I can eat anything."

Seeing that Gu Zhan was refusing, Li Yuquan took the initiative to order a braised pork, a clear-boiled chicken, and a cucumber with mashed garlic.

During the meal, Gu Zhan briefly explained his work progress for the next two days: "Director, I will concentrate on translating the book I have in hand in the next two days, and then I will choose a book with relatively good content from the subsequent books that need to be translated.

After two days, if you are satisfied with my translation results, I will take the books you need translated home and translate them. I will return to the city in half a month to report back to you. What do you think?

"No problem. I don't think anyone in the entire Jing City can progress faster than you."

"Director, you are too kind."

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Gu, you're so young, but you're so good at English. How did you learn this?"

In various places under the jurisdiction of Jing City, there are almost no schools that teach English as a major subject. Many students do not even have a comprehensive understanding of basic English letters, let alone such profound and obscure professional terms.

Gu Zhan had known someone would ask this question. He thought for a moment and looked at Li Yuquan with difficulty: "This..."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it. I'm just asking casually."

The hesitation in Gu Zhan's eyes finally disappeared, and he said slowly, "One of my high school teachers was transferred from a university in Beijing to teach in Xia County. He was very generous in teaching me these things. However, he returned to Beijing at the end of last year."

What Gu Zhan said was the truth. In his previous life, his yearning for the outside world, his vision and knowledge all came from this mentor. His mentor had an indispensable guiding significance for his life.

Hearing the word "demoted," Li Yuquan knew where the hesitation in Gu Zhan's eyes came from. He just felt that such a thing was not something that could be extended to a young man in his twenties. To reassure Gu Zhan, he did not ask any further questions.

But then again, the teachers in the prestigious schools in northern Beijing were indeed very impressive, all top-notch figures. It was indeed a blessing for Gu Zhan to be taught by such teachers.

When Gu Zhan talked about this, he was probably thinking of taking a gamble. He bet that since Jing City could advertise the recruitment of English translators, it should be more open and advanced in terms of thinking. At least they accepted the knowledge and culture from outside, which was an important development and progress.

I am just a high school graduate now. There must be a reasonable explanation for why I know so much knowledge, and this explanation can only come from my teachers.

After dinner, Li Yuquan took Gu Zhan back to the unit. Li Yuquan started to busy himself with other things, while Gu Zhan continued to translate.

The office conditions in the city were much better. Working under the bright lights, Gu Zhan finally found the feeling of working all night in his previous life. Before he knew it, he had already finished half of a book. Gu Zhan stood up to stretch his aching waist and checked the clock on the wall. It was already three o'clock in the morning.

After taking a nap on the makeshift wooden bed, Gu Zhan woke up at 7:30 in the morning. He washed his face casually and continued working.

When Li Yuquan came in with breakfast, he saw Gu Zhan working hard. When he got closer, he saw that Gu Zhan had already translated half of the book.

He put the breakfast in his hand on Gu Zhan's desk: "Xiao Gu, have breakfast, and then get busy after breakfast."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Director."

Gu Zhan stood up, stretched his waist, and then sat down to eat breakfast.

"Xiao Gu, how do you feel?"

"It's fine. Everything is going well."

After hearing what Gu Zhan said, Li Yuquan felt relieved and called Liu Jianhua to report the progress of the work here: "Director, everything is going smoothly here. This young man seems to be very relaxed. He has already translated half of the book in his hand.

"Well, be sure to greet them."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jianhua looked at Gu Zhan's resume in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhao Baogen was in the cowshed checking on the recovery of several cows when someone hurried over and whispered in his ear, "Captain, it's a call from the city asking about Gu Zhan's condition."

Zhao Baogen frowned, feeling a little nervous. He thought that this bastard must have done something bad, which caused the city to call him.

He had a thousand guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to waste time. Zhao Baogen pedaled his bicycle very fast and arrived in a few minutes.

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously very patient and did not hang up.

Zhao Baogen trotted into the office and answered the phone: "Hello."

"Hello, are you the leader of the Shanghe Village Production Brigade?"

"I'm Zhao Baogen from the Shanghe Village Production Brigade."

"Hello, we are from the Jing City Agricultural Bureau. Do you know Gu Zhan?"

Zhao Baogen's uneasiness grew even more intense, and he answered honestly, "Yes, he is a member of the Shanghe Village Production Brigade."

Next, the other party simply asked about Gu Zhan's family relationship and some of his school days, and Zhao Baogen answered them all seriously.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Baogen was very confused. What on earth was this guy doing in the city? Why did the Municipal Agriculture Bureau call him?
