Chapter 357: Chu Luo, Interpret For Them
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The car was parked not far away. After the three of them got into the car, they went to the city’s cultural hall.
As the leader of the empire’s coastal economy, City G’s economic development wasn’t inferior to that of the capital.
There were also tall buildings all around. There were many commercial circles, and the city’s cultural hall was also very unique. Its appearance was like a painting.
The conference would be starting at ten in the morning. It was only nine right now.
There was already a circle of reporters from all over the world outside the cultural hall, but it was heavily guarded today. Those reporters weren’t allowed in.
The car drove straight into the designated parking lot. Principal Tang brought Chu Luo to get to know the Cultural Museum’s curator and the people from the City Cultural Bureau.
Everyone was a little surprised to see her.
After everyone shook hands and exchanged greetings, the Cultural Museum’s director looked behind the three of them and was a little surprised. “Principal Tang, you didn’t bring a translation team this time?”
Principal Tang pointed at Chu Luo. “That’s my translator.”
The curator and the people from the Cultural Bureau looked at Chu Luo in surprise.
Although they didn’t say it explicitly, they didn’t look optimistic.
The director of the Cultural Bureau decided to talk to the principal in private. He said to a woman beside him, “Little Zhao, take Chu Luo around first. I have something to discuss with the principal.”
“Okay, Director.” After Little Zhao agreed, he looked at Chu Luo and said, “Chu Luo, let’s go. I’ll take you around this cultural hall.”
“Okay.”
The moment the two of them walked away, the director of the Cultural Bureau frowned. “Old Tang, you have to think carefully. This time, the world famous school’s principal meeting is held in our empire. You’re the host, so you can’t make any mistakes. Otherwise, Imperial University will become a joke.”
Another person added, “This kind of thing has happened in other countries before. The principal of that country didn’t bring a translation team and was mocked by the principals of other countries. Later on, he couldn’t withstand the pressure and quit. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?”
The others also advised him.
The director of the Education Bureau thought for a while and said, “How about this? We’ll call the principal of University G and get him to send a few teachers from the foreign language department to be your translators.”
Even though everyone was anxious for Principal Tang, there was a wise smile on his face.
He said domineeringly, “Since I dare to bring Chu Luo here, I dare to bear all the consequences. If I’m not worried, what are you worried about?”
…
Chu Luo followed Little Zhao as they walked on the path outside the cultural hall. There were many potted plants and flowers around them with butterflies flying on them. They looked especially beautiful.
As Little Zhao walked, she introduced the characteristics and architectural principles of this cultural hall to Chu Luo.
After the two of them walked out of the crowd, Little Zhao suddenly asked, “Chu Luo, did Principal Tang really let you be his sole translator?”
It was obvious that she still didn’t believe it.
Chu Luo nodded. “Yes.”
“You…”
Little Zhao stopped talking. She wanted to say that she definitely couldn’t do it, but she was worried that by saying that, Chu Luo would be affected before it even started.
Little Zhao thought for a while and said, “Previously, when we held this kind of conference in another country, the principal representative of that country was picked on because he didn’t bring many translators.”
At this point, Little Zhao couldn’t help but remind her, “Chu Luo, even though all of them are school principals, competition among them is actually even more intense.
“Every famous school has its own characteristics. Not only do you have to show Imperial University’s characteristics, but you also have to grasp the characteristics of other schools. Only then can you know your enemy and deal with the traps that might embarrass Imperial University at any time.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she stopped to think for a while and asked her, “Sister Zhao, this is a conference organized by the Cultural Bureau in G City. There must be all the information about these universities. Can you let me take a look?”
When Little Zhao heard this, she asked, “Didn’t you read the information about these universities before?”
When Chu Luo and Little Zhao returned to where Principal Tang and the rest were, it was difficult for others not to notice the way Little Zhao looked at Chu Luo.
The director of the Cultural Bureau couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded her, “Little Zhao, what kind of expression is that? Don’t scare the child.”
“Chief, I…” Little Zhao stopped talking and was so anxious that she wanted to stomp her feet.
Principal Tang deliberately asked Chu Luo in a joking tone, “Chu Luo, what did you do to Miss Little Zhao?”
Chu Luo shrugged innocently. “I didn’t do anything.”
Little Zhao suddenly looked at Chu Luo and couldn’t hold it in anymore. She said, “I think it was a mistake for Principal Tang to bring Chu Luo to be a translator. Chu Luo didn’t even know which universities would be attending before coming here. Moreover, she just went with me to look at the details of those universities.”
What Little Zhao couldn’t tolerate the most was that she felt that Chu Luo’s attitude towards reading the information was not good at all. The speed at which she flipped the pages was as if she was fanning herself. She had flipped through it in a flash.
When the people from Province G heard this, they looked at Chu Luo in surprise.
Chu Luo shut her mouth and couldn’t be bothered to explain herself. She was calm.
Everyone turned to look at Principal Tang.
Principal Tang smiled like an old fox and didn’t say anything.
The director of the Cultural Bureau also didn’t feel reassured and made a decision. “Little Lu, call University G and get them to send a translation team over immediately.”
The boy named Little Lu responded and took out his phone to make a call.
“Hey…” Principal Tang couldn’t stop him at all. He could only emphasize,” I really don’t need other translators. ”
After saying that, he even comforted Chu Luo. “Chu Luo, even if the others come, just do what you have to do later.”
Chu Luo nodded.
Everyone wanted to pry Principal Tang’s head open to see what he was thinking.
Little Lu quickly finished making the call and returned. He said to everyone, “University G has agreed to send some people over, but it will take more than an hour for them to get over from there. He told us to think of something ourselves during this time.”
“It’s good as long as some other people are coming over to translate.” The director and the others were relieved.
However, they felt relieved too early.
At around 9: 40 am, the other foreign school principals who lived in the hotel brought their teams over.
Everyone went out to welcome them.
The principal of Imperial University had been in the limelight a few times this year internationally. When those principals arrived, they surrounded him.
The principal of University L smiled and said in his native language, “Tang, Imperial University is famous among the universities this year. I heard that the gaming capsule that your school’s Professor Wu and the Blazing Glory Corporation researched together is about to enter the open beta phase. When are you going to let Professor Wu hold an international public lecture? Let our students listen to the class too.”
The principal of University P: “That Chu Luo from your school is really good. To think she was attacked by world hackers halfway through the university’s Cybersecurity Competition. Not only did she guard your Imperial University’s database, but she even chased after the hackers to their lair. I’m very curious. Was that really accomplished by that freshman from your school?”
…
The curator and director of the Cultural Bureau standing at the side were a little worried.
The curator: “These people have been so aggressive since this year. They must be jealous of Imperial University’s achievements this year.”
The director looked outside. He knew that the interpreters from University G wouldn’t come so quickly, but he was still a little anxious. “These people all speak their own country’s language. Their interpreter isn’t speaking either. They’re deliberately trying to make Old Tang unable to answer.”
“There are a lot of reporters from all over the world this year. I hope Old Tang can hold on for this period of time.”
“Even if he can’t, he has to. These people obviously came prepared. Just now, I heard a few school’s principals mention Chu Luo’s name. Are they prepared to focus all their attention on Chu Luo?”
“I wonder what Principal Tang thinks. Why didn’t he introduce Chu Luo to everyone immediately? The two of them stood there and didn’t say anything. It looks so awkward.”
“What can we do? Old Tang doesn’t understand some words. You can’t let him reply to the questions selectively. Those petty principals will have something to say again.”
Just as the director and the curator were anxious, Principal Tang, who had been smiling, finally made a halting gesture at them.
He pointed at Chu Luo and said to everyone in the international common language, “Let me introduce everyone. This is Chu Luo, the Chu Luo that many of you mentioned.”
Actually, everyone had noticed Chu Luo at first glance and had been wondering why Principal Tang had brought such a beautiful woman over this year.
Hearing his introduction, they looked at her in surprise.
Chu Luo nodded at them calmly and quickly greeted each principal. Then, she translated their words one by one to the principal.
When the principal heard this, he laughed and said in Imperial, “Don’t be anxious. I’ll answer all your questions.”
Many principals who didn’t understand the empire’s language had to get someone to translate.
Principal Tang immediately stopped her in the common language. “Since it’s us old friends greeting each other, it’s meaningless for you to call for an interpreter. Chu Luo, interpret for them.”
Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”
