About an hour and a half later, this seemingly calm but actually surging intent negotiation meeting finally came to an end in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
Chen Guang and Lin Jingwei both had sores all over their bodies from sitting, but in order to get back the limited edition Patek Philippe, they had to endure it no matter how tiring it was.
Bai Hua was quite satisfied with the results of today's negotiations. He had finally broken the deadlock and was starting to see some signs of progress with the three companies. He was especially satisfied with the many conditions that Ao Lan Corporation had put forth.
"Jingwei, you two go to my office and sit for a while. I'll come back after I send them off, and then I'll show you around the company," Bai Hua instructed. He wouldn't forget about Lin Jingwei even if he was busy.
Chen Guang and Lin Jingwei were overjoyed. This was an opportunity.
"Song Ting, accompany Jingwei for me."
Damn it!
Are you done?!
The two sat in Bai Hua's office for another twenty minutes. During this time, Song Ting was so enthusiastic that even Lin Jingwei felt that something was wrong.
The two were miserable. Whenever they had the chance, they would glance at the glass display case. Unfortunately, the item was placed there, but it was so close that it was worlds apart.
Finally, Bai Hua came back with a smile on his face, surrounded by a group of people. From his expression, he seemed to be in a good mood.
However, Chen Guang was a little hesitant because Professor Lu was still following behind Bai Hua like a trusted aide.
If he made it clear now, he would be offending someone.
But if he didn't say it now, Bai Hua might not believe him when the time was up, and Ao Lan Corporation might have already gotten what they wanted.
Forget it, there's no point in doing things cautiously. It's not a big deal to offend Professor Lu.
Perhaps it was because Chen Guang had spent too long in the Sea of Time, but he had become more decisive in his actions compared to the past, even if there weren't any changes in his bones.
He took big strides and quickly walked up.
Bai Hua was about to introduce the person behind him, "This is …"
Chen Guang looked at Professor Lu and said, "Hello, are you Professor Lu from the Capital Foreign Studies University?"
Professor Lu didn't know what was going on. He didn't expect Chen Guang to have an ulterior motive. He smiled and nodded. "That's me. You are?"
Chen Guang grinned. "It doesn't matter who I am. But Professor Lu, God is watching. What you did today was a bit inappropriate. "
Professor Lu's face stiffened. It was obvious that he had a guilty conscience, but he didn't want to give it away easily. He just looked at Chen Guang with an uneasy expression and asked, "What is the meaning of this?"
Therefore, sometimes, a woman's gender really had an advantage. If Chen Guang was in his normal state, as a young man, Professor Lu might have jumped up and fought Chen Guang to the death.
It was a shameful thing to say, but a beautiful woman always had an advantage. Professor Lu was angry, but he still maintained his basic demeanor.
Bai Hua was also a little confused by Chen Guang's sudden attack. He turned to look at Lin Jingwei, who was standing behind Chen Guang, with a face full of doubt. For the sake of Lin Jingwei, he endured it.
Standing behind Chen Guang, Lin Jingwei violently coughed to signal Chen Guang to restrain himself. Although Chen Guang's voice has changed for some reason, he doesn't believe that Chen Guang knows Arabic! Stop messing around. Can't we just swap a leopard cat for a crown prince and run away?
Chen Guang reluctantly grinned. He didn't dare to smile too widely, lest the powder on his face fall off. He immediately said in very fluent Arabic, "There is no problem with the accuracy of your translation just now, but there are some words that are very problematic. Am I right?"
Chen Guang's Arabic was extremely fluent, and most importantly, his choice of words was extremely appropriate. It didn't seem like he was speaking a foreign language. On the contrary, it sounded like a noble Sheikh. Professor Lu's face instantly changed.
He really didn't expect to meet such a powerful colleague here.
However, he was an experienced man after all. He had done it discreetly. Even if there was a recording of the meeting, if someone really tracked it down, his very obscure words could be said to be within the scope of a normal translation. He forced himself to calm down.
Bai Hua was very smart. Although he didn't understand what Chen Guang was saying, he heard people talking Arabic for most of the day. He didn't need to understand the meaning to know that Chen Guang was speaking Arabic.
He then recalled Chen Guang's questioning of Professor Lu, and his heart suddenly became vigilant.
Although today was the first time he met Ms. Chen Yue, since she was a friend that Lin Jingwei was willing to bring to his company, Bai Hua was certainly more willing to believe "Chen Yue."
"Don't slander me! You're just a half-baked idiot! Don't think that you can question the work of a professional translator just because you've learned a little! "
When Bai Hua began to frown, Professor Lu became anxious. He forcibly suppressed his anger and put on an expression as if he had been greatly wronged.
In the face of the enraged Professor Lu, Chen Guang still spoke in a very calm tone. "Don't you know best whether or not I'm slandering you?"
After that, he turned his head and nodded slightly at Bai Hua. "Wasn't there a recording of the whole meeting just now? If Professor Lu thinks that I'm slandering him, you can play the recording now, and I'll help you explain it word for word. "
"Play the recording then! I'm not afraid of you! " At this point, Professor Lu could not back down. He couldn't show any signs of backing down at this time. Otherwise, it would really look like he was guilty.
Of course, he was not afraid. He felt that with his knowledge of Arabic, he could completely say that all the controversial translation terms were in the category of flexible words. He didn't believe that a random young man could really defeat him in his field of expertise.
Bai Hua was also swift and decisive. He was not in a hurry to embarrass Professor Lu. After all, Professor Lu was introduced by another vice president of the company, so he had to give him face.
The group of people rushed back to the conference room and directly played the recording of the meeting on the projector.
Professor Lu glared at Chen Guang fiercely. "Although I don't know which school you graduated from, I won't let you off the hook for deliberately slandering me today."
Chen Guang was still calm. "I hope you can still be this confident in ten minutes."
At this time, Lin Jingwei's mind was no longer in a mess. Although he didn't know what Brother Guang had done wrong, since he had already done it, as a brother, he had to risk his life to accompany him.
"Stop here."
Five minutes later, Chen Guang said, then looked at Professor Lu. "Professor Lu, in this translation, you translated the Ao Lan representative's words as' our company is very influential in the Ivory Bay area '… You translated the other two representatives' words as' more influential '. Isn't your choice of words a bit biased? "
Professor Lu raised his head confidently. "Why don't you listen to both sides again? Think about it with your brain. The three representatives used different particles, so of course, the translation should be different! "
Chen Guang snorted. "Although that's what you said, you have to follow the basic meaning of the other party. The representatives of these three companies are from different regions. Although it seems that they use different words, in fact, the meaning they want to express is completely the same! It's like when people in our country say that they are very tired today, they might be saying that they are very tired today, but the people in Da Chuan Province say that they are very tired today. The pronunciation of the two sounds very different to the ears of foreigners, but the meaning is completely the same! You're still quibbling! "
"How am I quibbling! This is the normal range of translation! Do you even know how to translate?! " Professor Lu began to use his seniority to pressure people, "I have been a professional translator for 30 years. What right do you have to question my professional ability!"
"I'm not questioning your ability, thank you. I'm questioning your character. Okay, let's say that your place is in the normal range, then let's continue. "
"Here …"
"Here …"
As Chen Guang picked out one place after another, he even gave an academic explanation of the language habits of one of the representatives. Professor Lu became more and more desperate.
Chen Guang pressed forward step by step.
Professor Lu could not move an inch.
Chen Guang was reasonable.
Professor Lu's face was ashen.
From the beginning, the confrontation between the two sides was not on the same level. The Arabic that Chen Guang mastered was not only common in the world, he even had different dialects in his mind. No matter how good Professor Lu was, he was only a mortal. How could he be compared to him?
Bang!
Finally, Chen Guang slammed the table and said conclusively, "In conclusion! Professor Lu, I have reason to think that the words you used in at least a dozen places are very questionable. You are clearly biased towards Ao Lan Company! Even some of the places that seem to be belittling Ao Lan Company and elevating the other two companies are deliberately exaggerated, further reducing CEO Bai's trust in those two companies! Once or twice is a coincidence, but what about ten or twenty times? Is it still a coincidence? "
"It's undeniable that Professor Lu's level is really high. If I didn't expose you on the spot, I'm afraid that even if CEO Bai consulted other experts in the country with today's meeting minutes, he would not be able to completely discover your little tricks. If I didn't see with my own eyes how you interfered with CEO Bai's thoughts, I'm afraid even I would have been fooled by you. But unfortunately, I happen to be here today! You're unlucky. "
Professor Lu sat down on his chair, his face pale, and his mind was a mess. He did not look like an experienced person at all.
The second translator next to him was not much better. He was so scared that his lips turned blue.
He was not bribed, but during the entire meeting, he did not hear Professor Lu's little tricks at all.
Bai Hua's face was completely gloomy. If Ms. Chen Yue did not expose him on the spot, he would have been tricked by Professor Lu.
These little traps hidden throughout the entire meeting seemed inconspicuous, but in fact, they were very subtle. It was really scary to think about it.
The more talented a person was, the more they could not tolerate being fooled. Bai Hua came from a rich and powerful family, and his usual elegance was a disguise to hide his fangs.
Now that he was really angry, there was a murderous aura between his brows. "Professor Lu …"
As soon as Bai Hua opened his mouth, Professor Lu fell to his knees. "CEO Bai, please listen to my explanation! This matter is not like this! "
