a few days later.
Shen Qing received the notice.
She was hired.
She was also confident that she would be hired, because she knew in her heart that her years of hard work abroad were not in vain.
On the day of the interview, Shen Qing walked into the conference room confidently, dressed in a simple, well-fitting business suit. The interviewers asked a variety of professional and challenging questions, ranging from translating specialized terminology from different fields, to strategies for dealing with complex international negotiations, to how to manage and improve the overall performance of a translation team.
Shen Qing, with her solid professional knowledge and extensive practical experience, answered questions fluently. During the simulated translation session, her precise and fluent translation, coupled with her natural and appropriate expression, earned her frequent nods from the interviewers.
Inform her that she can start work tomorrow.
Shen Qing was very happy and thanked the interviewer in person.
On her first day, Shen Qing arrived early. The spacious, bright office and energetic colleagues made her feel vibrant and energetic. Her new office boasted a stunning view overlooking the bustling city, which fueled her enthusiasm for her future work.
As Translation Supervisor, Shen Qing quickly got to work. She first reviewed the team's existing workflow and project schedule, identifying issues of poor communication and inefficiency. She then established a new internal communication mechanism and organized regular team training sessions to share the latest industry trends and translation techniques, thereby improving the team's overall performance.
During negotiations for a major international collaboration project, Shen Qing demonstrated exceptional professional competence. During the negotiations, the two sides engaged in intense discussions on the details of the collaboration, covering numerous specialized areas and sensitive clauses. Shen Qing was fully focused, accurately translating and conveying both sides' perspectives and intentions, ensuring that no key information was missed. With her keen insight and excellent communication skills, she deftly resolved potential misunderstandings and conflicts, effectively ensuring the smooth progress of the negotiations.
After this meeting, Shen Qing's name quickly spread throughout the company. Her boss praised her performance highly, and her colleagues also cast envious glances at her.
However, amidst all the praise, there were a few pairs of less friendly eyes.
One of them is my colleague Lin Yue. Lin Yue has worked in the company for many years and has always been proud of her good translation skills, but Shen Qing's arrival has dimmed her luster.
During a group project, Shen Qing, leveraging her solid expertise and innovative ideas, proposed a solution to optimize the translation process, significantly improving work efficiency. This solution was highly recognized by leadership and promoted within the department. This made Lin Yue increasingly uneasy, feeling that Shen Qing was deliberately trying to steal her spotlight.
From then on, Lin Yue began to secretly trip up Shen Qing. When assigning work, she would push tedious and urgent tasks onto Shen Qing, attempting to embarrass her. Once, the company received an urgent translation assignment for a lengthy professional document, requiring completion within a short period of time. Lin Yue deliberately assigned the task to Shen Qing, even sarcastically remarking, "Shen Qing, you're so talented, this will surely be a piece of cake for you." Shen Qing ignored her provocation, silently accepted the assignment, and worked overtime to complete the high-quality translation.
Lin Yue said sarcastically: "Some people are just lucky. Maybe their previous achievements were obtained by some shameful means." Everyone felt embarrassed when they heard this, and the scene became quiet in an instant.
Shen Qing frowned slightly. She hadn't expected someone to be so narrow-minded in such a positive work environment. But she remained calm and resolute, responding, "Lin Yue, in my opinion, the workplace relies on real talent and unwavering hard work. Every achievement I've made is the result of countless days and nights of learning and accumulation. If jealousy can make the work better, then I don't mind giving you more opportunities to make you jealous. But I'd rather we focus on improving ourselves, rather than wasting everyone's time with such baseless speculation and sarcasm."
Shen Qing's retort was neither humble nor arrogant, and was well-reasoned and well-founded. Lin Yue's face flushed instantly. She had not expected Shen Qing to counterattack so sharply, and for a moment she was speechless.
The surrounding colleagues all cast approving glances. Most of them admired Shen Qing's abilities and character, and were disgusted by Lin Yue's behavior. From then on, Lin Yue never dared to make sarcastic remarks openly again.
After this incident, Shen Qing didn't pay much attention to Lin Yue's attitude. She continued to devote herself to her work, relying on her own strength to move forward step by step. After some reflection, Lin Yue also realized his mistakes, began to work hard to improve his business ability, and gradually let go of his jealousy.
. . . . . .
Shen Qing returned home in the evening.
After a busy day, Shen Qing dragged her tired body to open the door. The warm yellow light from the house instantly cast on her, dispelling some of the chill.
"Mom!" A clear cry rang out, and then a pair of cute figures came running from the corner of the living room. An An and Kang Kang jumped into Shen Qing's arms like two happy little deer.
The corners of Shen Qing's mouth lifted unconsciously, and her fatigue seemed to have eased a little. She touched An An's head, pinched Kang Kang's face, and said with a smile: "My dears, have you been good today?"
"We are so good!" An An said with her rosy little face and sparkling eyes.
"Mom, you've worked hard at work!" Kang Kang took Shen Qing's hand and pulled her onto the sofa.
Shen Qing sat down on the sofa obediently. Before she could react, An An and Kang Kang had already divided the work tacitly. An An climbed up the sofa gently, stood behind Shen Qing, stretched out her small hands, and gave her mother a shoulder massage in a very professional manner. Although her technique was immature, each one was full of seriousness and strength. She kept muttering, "Mom, is it sore here? I'll massage it for you and it will stop being sore."
Kang Kang squatted at Shen Qing's feet, carefully helping her take off her shoes, and then used his little fists to gently massage her legs. While massaging, he said in a baby voice, "Mom, am I massaging you?"
Shen Qing felt the children's thoughtful gesture, and her eyes gradually became moist. After a busy day at the company, facing various work pressures and tedious tasks, all the fatigue and grievances disappeared in the care of her two children.
"It's comfortable, so comfortable. Our An An and Kang Kang are really their mother's sweet little babies." Shen Qing's voice was a little choked. She reached out and touched the two children's heads respectively.
Hearing her mother's praise, An An massaged her legs even more vigorously, humming a tuneless nursery rhyme. Kang Kang, not to be outdone, quickened his leg-pounding pace, a satisfied smile on his face.
Shen Qing looked at the two sensible little ones in front of her, her heart filled with emotion and comfort. She thought back to the journey she had taken, and although it had been hard, every moment of growth and every thoughtful gesture from the children made her feel that it was all worth it.
