Chapter 686 Here Comes Veronica (49)
That woman's name was Gretchen Barcroft.
When Gretchen heard Kyla ask Veronica if Veronica could translate the audio file, she realized that Kyla wanted Veronica to translate this audio file. Gretchen sneered.
"Ms. Randolph, if I remember correctly, today is Veronica's first day here. And she is still a college student. Are you sure you want her to translate this audio file? You must be kidding, right?"
"Gretchen, I just want to tell you that you are not the only one in this company who can translate this audio file. You can't use this as a bargaining chip to blackmail the company into acceding to your unreasonable demands!" Kyla said coldly.
Gretchen snorted.
"Kyla, is it too much for me to ask for a raise and an extra day off every week? I am an ordinary translator anymore. Do you know how many companies would offer me a job?"
"We'll agree to a reasonable raise, but your request is out of line. You asked the company to double your salary. That's impossible."
Gretchen smiled mockingly. And she fiddled with her big wavy hair.
"Well... Since you said no to my request, then I'm afraid that there's nothing I can do with this audio file..."
Before Gretchen could finish, Kyla turned to Veronica and said, "I have an audio file. Can you translate it before noon?"
Although Veronica didn't know what kind of audio file it was. But she knew that file was very important.
She nodded cautiously. "I'll try."
Kyla's face darkened. "I need a guarantee."
"I'll do my best. And I won't let you down, Ms. Randolph!" Said Veronica.
Kyla lifted her chin at Veronica. "Great! Veronica, you can leave now. I will send you the audio file immediately."
"Okay."
After that, Veronica walked out of Kyla's office.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Gretchen stood in front of Kyla's office desk. She looked at Veronica. And there was a glint of mockery in her eyes. Veronica got the audio file that Kyla sent her after returning to her seat.
She immediately took out her headphones from her drawer. She played the audio and listened to it carefully.
During the process, Veronica realized that this was a very professional document.
When Veronica had just heard half of it, Gretchen walked out of Kyla's office.
Seeing Veronica listening to the audio file in the seat, Gretchen went directly to Veronica.
Veronica was focused on the audio, and she did not notice Gretchen had come to her. Veronica didn't do anything.
Gretchen knocked on Veronica's table with her finger.
Veronica raised her head when she heard that. Veronica paused the audio and took off her headphones. She stood up and nodded at Gretchen politely. "What can I do for you, Gretchen?"
Gretchen looked at Veronica scornfully. She sneered, "You are listening to this audio file? Are you sure you can understand it?"
Veronica said humbly, "I'll try."
Gretchen snorted.
"You'll try? I think you didn't understand a single word. I don't know why Ms. Randolph would ask someone like you to translate this audio file. If you can't do it, you should tell Ms. Randolph now." Veronica looked at Gretchen seriously. "Thank you. If I can't translate it, I will tell Ms. Randolph!"
Gretchen snorted and walked away.
After Gretchen left, Veronica sat down and listened to the audio file again.
Veronica listened to the audio twice. After that, she started to type the sentences she heard from the audio. And then, she translated those sentences one by one.
An hour later, Veronica tried her best and printed the document before 11:55. Then, she walked to Kyla's office with the document in her hand.
Kyla was concerned about the progress of the translation of the audio file. She came out of the office and wanted to see how everything was going.
Just then, Kyla saw Veronica walking towards her office.
"Veronica, how is everything going?" Kyla looked at Veronica happily.
Veronica looked tired. She said, "Ms. Randolph, I have finished it. Please take a look!"
After that, Veronica gave the printed document to Kyla.
The other hand took the document before Kyla got it. Gretchen said loudly, "Oh, I heard Ms. Randolph gave you the audio file from Costswich Company. Well, I was supposed to translate that file. You have already finished it? Let me see how you're doing."
The rest of the translators in the company heard that. They all looked at Veronica at the same time.
Most of them had a look of doubt and ridicule in their eyes.
After all...It was not a secret that Veronica was still a college student. And it was her first day here in this company.
How could a college student with no experience translate such a difficult file from a big company like Costswich Company? Moreover, the document that needed to be translated was an audio file, not a paper
one.
To translate audio files, translators need both language skills, listening skills, and comprehensive language ability. Translating audio files was much more difficult than translating paper files.
In the company, many people could do audio file translation. But Gretchen was the only one who could translate the audio files from Costswich Company.
That was the reason why Gretchen used it as a bargaining chip.
Now, a college student who had just joined the company had translated the audio file from Costswich Company. Wasn't that an open challenge to Gretchen?
Kyla's face changed slightly after Gretchen took the document.
"What are you doing, Gretchen?"
Gretchen looked at Kyla with a smile. "Calm down, Ms. Randolph. We are all curious. We just want to know how good Veronica is. Mr. Willie even made an exception for her." Kyla still wanted to say something, but Veronica put her hand on Kyla's hand.
"Gretchen, you have more experience than I do. It's my pleasure to have you check my work. Please give it back to me after you finish!"
Gretchen didn't even want to look at Veronica. She looked down at the document in her hand.
However, when Gretchen read the paper, her expression abruptly changed.
