Professor Wei is an experienced and shrewd man, so how could he not know what the two people in front of him are thinking?
He didn't explain anything, his expression was indifferent. He walked to the middle seat in the conference room and sat down. Then he said calmly, "Please sit down. We'll talk business when everyone else arrives."
The two men had originally intended to explain the situation to Professor Wei, but upon hearing his words, they could only temporarily suppress their excitement and slowly nodded, saying, "Alright, let's sit down first and talk when the others arrive."
Before long, people started coming in one after another.
In addition to the six people present, four more people came in.
This made the already cramped meeting room feel even more crowded.
The four people who came in afterward had different expressions after seeing the situation inside the room, but overall they were all somewhat surprised and uncertain.
Clearly, they weren't particularly welcoming to the three uninvited young guests, Lin Fan and his companion.
"Alright, everyone's here, right?"
"Today is the first gathering since our translation team was established. I have some tasks to assign you later, and I also have something to inform you about."
When Professor Wei saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up from his chair and looked at everyone with a serious expression before speaking.
However, before Professor Wei could finish speaking, one of the four people who came in after him, a young man in his thirties, stood up, frowned, and said, "Teacher, wait a moment."
"I want to know what's going on between those three?"
The man's face even showed a hint of anger as he spoke.
Clearly, his attitude went beyond simply not welcoming Lin Fan and his two companions. He even displayed deep wariness and disdain towards their arrival.
Lin Fan was unaware of the current situation, but he kept one thing in mind: just follow Professor Wei's instructions. He would do whatever Professor Wei asked him to do. If Professor Wei didn't ask him to speak, he would sit obediently, so his face didn't show much expression. He just calmly watched what was happening.
Professor Wei glanced at the young man and said calmly, "Cheng Hui, what do you want to know?"
The man Professor Wei referred to as Cheng Hui snorted coldly, then raised a finger and pointed at Lin Fan and the others, saying, "I want to know where these three guys came from?"
"I remember the teacher said before that the main purpose of establishing this translation team is still academic. We are all top foreign language experts in China and have translated many outstanding works. But this time, we are working together to promote Chinese culture to the world."
"This is a sacred and great undertaking. I think as long as you are all of sound mind, you should understand what the teacher means. This translation team does not welcome people who come here to gain experience. What we need are truly capable translation experts who are on par with those of us here."
"Who brought these three people? Just admit it. The teacher can't say anything, but I won't tolerate you. In the end, put away your schemes and get them out of here. If you don't want to join this translation team, you can leave. Losing two or three people isn't a big deal; it'll just increase the workload a bit. But I can't tolerate such a noble undertaking being mixed with other intentions."
The person who spoke was named Su Chenghui.
Lin Fan naturally noticed that he addressed Professor Wei as "teacher." Professor Wei also addressed him in a very intimate way, so it wasn't hard to imagine that this person must have been a student of Professor Wei, or was still a student of Professor Wei.
Su Chenghui spoke very rudely and also insulted Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan still adhered to his principle: if Professor Wei did not ask him to speak, he remained silent as if he had not heard anything.
The other two young men clearly didn't have Lin Fan's composure. They were quite embarrassed by the reprimand, but they didn't dare to retaliate because of the status of the people present. They could only hold back their anger with constipated expressions, their faces turning red and then pale.
Seeing that no one spoke, Su Chenghui continued, "What, I'm asking you a question? You dare to do it but not admit it? Who brought these three people?"
The reason why Su Chenghui flew into a rage was actually quite simple.
His words made it very clear that he didn't want any ulterior motives to get involved in their translation team this time. Everyone who could join the translation team was one of the top language experts in the country.
For example, his teacher is a professor who not only speaks fourteen languages, but is also fluent in each one. He also has a considerable understanding of the cultures of these fourteen countries.
He has served as an international advisor, representing China in lecturing between two small countries on the verge of war, and as a representative of peace ambassadors. He is also one of the chief editors of foreign language textbooks at the Capital University. In addition, he has all sorts of other miscellaneous titles.
It's fair to say that everyone present in this conference room is no ordinary person; they are all very famous and highly accomplished in the field of linguistics.
Logically speaking, such a young man should absolutely not be in this kind of organization. Even if he is a genius and very talented, he will never reach their level in the future. Isn't he just here to get his resume polished?
Ironically, if they could join such a prestigious translation organization at such a young age, it would be a significant achievement in their future careers. Therefore, when the organization was established, Su Chenghui knew that many people would be interested in joining.
However, at that time he believed that his teacher would definitely warn the others to focus on this big operation and not to do anything crooked or bring people in to do favors.
After all this preparation, these people still managed to pull this stunt and even brought people to the venue. How is this any different from a coup?
They've brought everyone here. If they just drive them away, it seems like they're petty. But if they stay and something happens between them, even if these people can't join the organization in the end, who knows what will happen outside?
"Ahem, Cheng Hui, don't put it so harshly. I admit, this young man was brought by me."
In the end, the woman couldn't withstand the pressure, and there was no way to hide such a thing, since Professor Wei wasn't blind, so he stepped forward and admitted it.
Just as the woman spoke, the man stepped forward, a wry smile on his face, and said, "Cheng Hui, don't be so angry. Listen to me first. I did all this for a reason. I won't do anything reckless."
