Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Gu, the Academic God, Understands Me Best

Song Chu signaled Gu Yue to step up mainly because she had seen him reading English, German, and Russian books in her space without any difficulty.

One of the books on vacuum packaging was an original English version, and he was able to read it all by himself. This showed that his English was excellent, especially his mastery of technical vocabulary.

She believed that if he took on this job, he would definitely do well.

He was from the Imperial Capital, so speaking fluently wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

Her English conversation skills were also fluent, but she wasn’t familiar with some of the technical terms, so she didn’t volunteer herself.

Moreover, she was from the countryside and currently only a junior high school student, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to do it. It would be troublesome if she attracted suspicion and was investigated as a spy.

After all, there were still many spies during this period, and they were lurking everywhere. The higher-ups were also keeping a close eye on things.

Song Chu could be flamboyant when she wanted to be, but she was also cautious in her actions. When it was time to keep a low profile, she would definitely not attract trouble by being high-profile.

She always knew what she should do and what kind of limelight she shouldn’t seek.

Of course, if she participated in the Import and Export Trade Fair next year, she could communicate with foreigners herself. She could say that she learned from Gu Yue, as he often practiced speaking with her.

Gu Yue originally had no interest, but when he saw Song Chu’s signal, he immediately understood her intention.

He looked at Xu Wei and said, “If it doesn’t involve any trade secrets, I can help.”

Xu Wei was stunned, “It’s about our side negotiating with that company to import a production line. It doesn’t involve any trade secrets, just that there will be a lot of technical terms in the conversation. Is that okay for Comrade Gu?”

From the first time he saw Gu Yue, he knew that this young man was not simple. His appearance and temperament were too outstanding. He had a refined air hidden within his handsome features, looking like someone who came from a well-connected family that had invested heavily in his upbringing.

Therefore, he didn’t suspect that Gu Yue would deceive him.

Gu Yue smiled and said, “Before I became an educated youth, I worked in machinery, so I’m quite familiar with the technical terms.”

“You can find someone to talk to me and test me. If it works, then I’ll go.” He offered a suggestion that was considerate of the other party.

Xu Wei’s impression of him improved even more because of this. “My colleague is in the hospital. If you don’t mind, could you come with me to the hospital?”

If his colleague, who was specifically responsible for translation, thought Gu Yue was capable, then there would be no problem.

Gu Yue could then help him solve a big problem. This production line was very important to them now.

“No problem, I can do that.” Gu Yue smiled and nodded.

Xu Wei was very happy, “Thank you so much, Comrade Gu.”

After finishing their meal, Xu Wei invited Gu Yue to go to the hospital together. Song Chu asked Xu Ting to take Song Lao Si and the others back, while she accompanied Gu Yue.

When they arrived at the hospital, the translator had just finished his meal and was resting.

Xu Wei introduced Gu Yue and Song Chu to him and explained the reason for their visit.

The translator was in his forties. Seeing Gu Yue, who was so young, he felt that he might not be reliable.

But he himself had suddenly fallen ill and couldn’t participate, and he also hoped someone could replace him.

So he looked at Gu Yue and started conversing directly in English.

Gu Yue’s English was very fluent, and he sounded even more professional and authentic than the translator. His voice was particularly pleasant when he spoke English.

The two started with simple conversation and then gradually deepened it. The translator even used many technical terms, which Gu Yue handled with ease.

After half an hour, the translator was full of smiles, “Little Gu, have you studied this specifically before? You’re very good at this!”

Gu Yue smiled, “I studied it for a while before.”

◈◈◈

The translator said to Xu Wei, “Comrade Little Gu not only speaks English very well, but he also knows more about the technical aspects than I do. He’s more suitable to go and negotiate.”

“Minister Xu, please go to my office and get the documents for Comrade Little Gu. I believe he will have absolutely no problem.” He gave Gu Yue high praise and affirmation.

Xu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s great. Comrade Little Gu, you’ve really solved a big problem for me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know where to find a translator.”

“Haha, you’re just lucky. He’s really very capable.” The translator said with a smile.

Gu Yue smiled, “You flatter me.”

The translator was in the hospital, and it seemed that he was very tired after talking for a while. Xu Wei told him to rest well and left with Gu Yue and Song Chu.

“Comrade Little Gu, I’ll have to trouble you with the translation. I’ll go to the office now and get the documents for you. Please take a good look at them these next two days. I’ll take you to the negotiation in three days.”

Xu Wei discovered that Song Chu was really like what his mother said, a girl with good fortune.

After meeting her, his mother was saved, and his problem was also solved.

Gu Yue smiled and nodded, “I’m going to the countryside tomorrow, but I’ll take the documents with me and familiarize myself with them these two days. Please rest assured, I will do my best to negotiate.”

“Good, I have great confidence in Comrade Little Gu.” Xu Wei had also heard from his son that he would be accompanying Song Chu and the others to the countryside tomorrow.

He originally had no intention of stopping them, and now he was even less likely to stop them.

Song Chu and Gu Yue were both talented individuals. To be so capable at such a young age, it was worth his son learning from them. It was a good thing for him to interact with them more.

Next, Xu Wei took them to his office to get the documents. Since it wasn’t far from the hotel, Song Chu and Gu Yue walked back themselves.

“Gu, the Academic God, your English conversation is very fluent, like someone who has studied abroad.” Song Chu said with a smile.

During this period, studying abroad was not a good thing. People with such experience were basically labeled as capitalist roaders and sent down.

Song Chu mainly meant to praise his English.

Gu Yue smiled and replied, “I know a professor who used to study abroad. He liked to give me original books to read and often deliberately spoke to me in English, so I practiced that way.”

“I see, Gu, the Academic God, you’re awesome.” Song Chu gave him a thumbs up.

Gu Yue chuckled, “You should be able to understand my conversation with the translator earlier, right?”

“I could basically understand, just a few technical terms I didn’t quite get,” Song Chu said truthfully.

“Then you’re also very awesome!” Gu Yue looked at her with an admiring smile.

Song Chu said proudly, “Of course, I’m naturally awesome.”

Gu Yue said as they walked, “You asked me to help with the translation, is it to pave the way for participating in the Import and Export Trade Fair next year?”

Song Chu nodded with a smile, “Gu, the Academic God, understands me best.”

“And Xu Ting’s father’s job is quite special. The production line also involves an important project here. If you help him succeed, you’ll leave a good impression on the people here in the province. If something happens, you might be able to ask his father for help.”
