Chapter 448 Participating in the Assessment
So the two of them were in a relatively relaxed state, and Lin Fan decided to take Lin Shuying to the diplomatic embassy first.
Fortunately, the diplomats and Namseong University were relatively close, so after moving out of the hotel near the station, the two found another hotel nearby.
After strolling around the neighborhood and calming themselves down, the two finally stepped into the gates of the diplomatic embassy.
"Hello, sir and madam, what brings you here?"
The diplomatic mission is not usually open to the public, after all, it is not a tourist attraction or a museum, but a genuine government agency.
So the security guard at the door was a little surprised to see two strangers come in.
"We are here to take the translator assessment, and this is our letter of recommendation."
Lin Fan smiled and took out the letter of recommendation sent by the TV station leader from his pocket.
This time, thanks to the leader's arrangement, Lin Fan decided to bring some gifts to visit him after completing the assessment.
"Oh, so you two are here to take the assessment. Please come in!"
From the beginning of this month to the beginning of next month, this entire month is the assessment period for translators, so many people like Lin Fan and Lin Shuying come during this time, which the security guard is already used to.
What surprised the security guard was that most of the people who came in the past were elderly men and women dressed elegantly and noblely, and it was rare to see someone as young as Lin Fan and his group.
To be even more precise, Lin Fan and Lin Shuying are the youngest couple to have come to the diplomatic mission for the interpreter assessment so far.
The diplomatic embassy was still the same as before; there weren't many people there, but there were quite a few foreign faces.
Even though Lin Shuying had gone through many trials and tribulations with Lin Fan, she was still a little nervous after arriving at this government agency. She kept clinging to Lin Fan's arm and unconsciously tightened her grip with her fingers.
Especially after seeing those foreign faces, their eyes showed both surprise and nervousness.
Thinking about her future main job, which would involve using the foreign languages she had learned to communicate with these foreigners, Lin Shuying felt a little uneasy.
"Alright, don't be afraid. Whether they are locals or foreigners, there is really no difference. It's just a difference in language and culture, and you have already overcome these very well."
"When you become a translator, you'll have to deal with them often. Don't look at them with prejudice. Just treat them the same way you treat me."
Hearing Lin Fan's words of comfort, Lin Shuying finally felt more confident.
But she still looked at Lin Fan nervously and said, "Honey, can I really do this?"
Lin Fan smiled slightly and pinched Lin Shuying's cheek, saying, "Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you should have confidence in your husband, right?"
"I personally trained you to speak so fluently, so don't worry. You might have some trouble with a written test, but since this is an oral test for translators, I'm confident you'll pass."
Moreover, Lin Fan has some connections with the Miss couple in the diplomatic embassy, and he has some influence within the embassy. As long as Lin Shuying's performance isn't too outrageous, she'll definitely pass the test.
As I was thinking this, two familiar figures walked towards me.
Lin Fan looked up and saw that it was none other than Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
"What a coincidence!"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up, and then he leaned close to Lin Shuying's ear and said, "Wife, let's go, I saw two acquaintances, let's go say hello!"
Lin Fan led Lin Shuying to Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The Smiths, still sporting their signature long blond hair and impeccably tailored suits, were speaking sternly in English to a balding, middle-aged Chinese man.
Lin Fan walked behind the two without saying a word, quietly watching them finish their conversation with the man.
About three to five minutes later, the man left. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were about to leave as well, but when they turned around and saw Lin Fan, they couldn't help but be startled.
"Oh, Lin, it's you!"
"Lin, it's been a long time!"
"Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"Lin, thanks to you, we're doing pretty well."
Both of them seemed very happy to see Lin Fan.
After all, in this unfamiliar foreign land, Lin Fan was the first Chinese friend they met and got along with.
Although they didn't interact much, every time they met, Lin Fan's knowledge, humor, and personality deeply attracted them, making them feel that Lin Fan was not like a native Chinese, but more like a native English gentleman, giving them a very familiar and relaxed feeling.
"Lin, I remember you said last time that you were doing business and were very busy. I didn't expect that we would meet again in just a few days."
Smith looked at Lin Fan with some surprise and spoke.
He wouldn't be so surprised if he bumped into Lin Fan on the street, but he was quite taken aback to see him at the diplomatic embassy.
"Is there something you need to do at the diplomatic embassy?"
"That's right, Smith, I'm here today to apply for a translator position!"
Lin Fan didn't stand on ceremony and directly stated the purpose of his trip.
After all, he might need Mr. and Mrs. Smith's help later, and being hesitant and indecisive is not a good thing.
"Oh!! Lin, are you serious? You really want to apply for the translator job?"
“That’s wonderful. We were just worried about this. If it were you, our diplomatic mission would surely be welcoming an excellent translator.”
Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Mr. and Mrs. Smith exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with immense joy.
The person who just spoke with the two of them is the ambassador of this diplomatic mission, who is also the highest-ranking official.
Their main discussion revolved around the selection of translators. Almost half a month has passed, and so far, they have only recruited one of the five translators they need; the others are unqualified.
This also gave them some worries. The issue of translators not only involved their future political tasks as diplomats, but it was also a target set by their superiors. Failure to meet it would cause them a lot of trouble.
However, they did not want to be mediocre; those who failed the test were not qualified to stay. But these days, even literate people were very few, let alone elegant gentlemen who were fluent in foreign languages and cultures.
At this rate, after a month of recruitment, we can only find two or three translators at most, which is still far from enough.
