Chapter 50 Learning English
"Sister Tang, Charlotte will turn on her phone tomorrow and she will be in Dalian. Please take a trip for me."
Lu Liang assigned work to Tang Caidi and looked at a Chen Jinchun with a cute face said: "Xiao Chen, just go and recruit someone for me."
Chen Jinchun's eyes widened and she thought she had heard wrong. She was a fresh graduate herself and had never passed her internship period.
“Any questions?” Lu Liang asked.
"No... no problem, Mr. Lu, who do you want to recruit?" Chen Jinchun asked bravely.
"Private English tutoring, at least with a certificate of level 8 or above, one class per day on working days, and the price is the highest in the market."
Last time, Lu suffered the loss of not knowing English. Liang made up his mind to practice English well, at least to make reading effortless.
"Okay, Mr. Lu." Chen Jinchun felt relieved. Fortunately, he just found an English private tutor.
After all, she has passed Level 4. With the help of Xuexin.com, interviewing a Level 8 certificate holder should not be a problem.
But it's one thing to think about it, and another thing to actually do it.
Seeing Lu Liang enter the office, Chen Jinchun felt pitiful and pulled Tang Caidi: "Sister, you have to help me."
She has only been an interviewer, not an interviewer. Should he be more aloof, or should he be more down-to-earth?
If you pull up your hair and wear a black silk OL outfit, will you look a little more mature?
“Don’t be so stressed, I guess Mr. Lu wants to learn English.”
Tang Caidi couldn't help but laugh: "The way of teaching English is very important, but it is also the compatibility between teachers and students. As long as we recruit a few more and let Mr. Lu choose, he will always find one that satisfies him."
Chen Jinchun again Question: "If Mr. Lu is not satisfied, what should we do to those private teachers? Let them go?"
Tang Caidi nodded: "Generally, there is a trial period of half a class. If you are not satisfied, you can change it until you are satisfied."
Chen Jinchun looked confused: "Why don't you give me some transportation fees? Wouldn't that be good? ”
Tried half a class and changed it if she was not satisfied, which made her feel guilty as if she was using the fruits of other people’s labor for free.
"When you failed the interview, did anyone give you carriage fare? This is how society is."
Tang Caidi smiled lightly and patted Chen Jinchun's little head like an elder: "This may be good for you It's also an opportunity."
"Opportunity?" Chen Jinchun blinked, looking confused.
Tang Caidi looked at Lu Liang's office: "Mr. Lu should be missing an assistant, but he didn't realize it himself."
"The front desk can be a person, but an assistant is different. , he will be Mr. Lu’s confidant, and his salary and benefits will be much higher.”
She saw clearly, but did not remind Lu Liang.
Because Lu Liang has to discover this kind of thing by herself, if she brings it up, it will inevitably make people think that she has ulterior motives.
"Sister, then why did you..."
Chen Jinchun was confused. She was just a little dull but not stupid. Such a good thing, why didn't Tang Caidi go by herself.
Tang Caidi laughed at himself and said very calmly: "We are different. I am old and I am not well-raised."
She is 37 years old, and it is already rare to find a job that matches her major and pays well.
But Chen Jinchun is different. He graduated from college at the age of 22 and is in his prime. Although it is only the second book, it is enough.
Tang Caidi has been working for more than ten years and knows that academic qualifications are only a stepping stone. If you are not in a technical position, the role will be even smaller.
What's more, Chen Jinchun is still a fresh graduate, so his work is a blank slate, and his bosses will prefer the people they train.
"Sister Tang, thank you."
Chen Jinchun is grateful beyond words.
Since the two met, Tang Caidi has been very kind to her and has been teaching her the rules of the workplace.
"You can learn about the situation online later. It shouldn't be difficult to find an English private tutor, and then ask someone to come over for an interview. If you think it's suitable, ask them to find Mr. Lu."
Tang Caidi smiled and returned to her work station to sort out the information, preparing to go home and pack her luggage for a trip to Dalian for Lu Liang.
In the past at Sequoia, she was very utilitarian and had a strong purpose in whatever she did.
Moreover, she would never engage in loss-making business, so there was no way she would even think about letting her teach newcomers for free.
The result was that her husband spent her money and cheated on her, and her life and work ended up in a mess.
After opening a B&B in Cainan and recuperating for a few years, Tang Caidi no longer had the original utilitarianism.
Now I am willing to help Chen Jinchun, just because I find her pleasing to the eye, that's all.
……
At one o'clock the stock market opened,
Lu Liang repeated the steps in the morning.
Although the steps of the transaction are the same, there are subtle changes every time so that he will not find it boring.
Because the market is fluid, no matter how carefully the market maker controls the market, there will always be uncertainties. Just like a sentence in "Memoirs of a Great Stock Operator", you must always have a sense of awe towards the market, because the market is driven by thousands of investors. Even if Jesus was alive, he could not predict the fate of millions of people. thought.
This is an autobiographical novel. The protagonist is Livermore, the king of speculation who once challenged Wall Street.
When the stock market closed at three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Liang's capital position reached 4.11 million, and the number of shares held was 4,272 lots.
Compared with the morning, the buying funds are much less.
The trading volume dropped sharply in the afternoon, and the activity was not as high as in the morning session. It was not easy for him to make a move, and the waiting time became longer.
Lu Liang closed his eyes to rest, his mouth felt a little dry, and he wanted to call someone, but then he remembered that this was a company, not home.
He walked out of the office with a water glass and happened to see Chen Jinchun talking to people in the conference room.
The other person is a girl, about 23 or 24 years old, wearing thick black-rimmed glasses, and her expression is a bit reserved.
Looks like I’m here for an interview.
However, Chen Jinchun is not much better. His eyes are wandering, his hands and feet are unnatural, and he always asks questions repeatedly, giving people a very unreliable feeling.
Lu Liang suddenly laughed out loud. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was the interviewer and who was the interviewer.
Hearing the movement at the door, Chen Jinchun turned around and looked excited, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
She hurriedly took out her resume: "Mr. Lu, this is Miss Su Wanyu Su, here to interview as an English private tutor."
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
Su Wanyu was startled and stood up quickly.
"Graduated from SISU, English CET-8, Japanese N2, French C1..."
Lu Liang nodded slightly and found that the other party was a language genius, proficient in four foreign languages, and his lowest level of German was B1.
He walked to the tea room, poured himself a glass of ice water, then walked to the office, waving and saying: "Try it first."
Lu Liang opened the blinds of the office again, letting in the outside. You can clearly see every move inside.
He really wants to learn English and learn English well.
Seeing this move, Su Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, said hello to Chen Jinchun, and followed closely behind.
"Mr. Lu, I would like to ask you if you have any foundation before, so that I can help you develop a study plan."
When it comes to the professional field, Su Wanyu looks confident, as if she has become a different person.
“I applied for English CET-4 ten years ago, but failed. It was a bit basic, but not much.”
“Then let me play you an English conversation. You can try to understand it. How much? "
Su Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to have a foundation. She was most afraid of being old and not having a foundation.
A 90-second conversation, probably about whether you have eaten, where to eat, and going together. It is very down-to-earth.
Lu Liang can basically understand 70% to 80% of the guesswork.
Su Wanyu was surprised: "Mr. Lu, if you can understand this, then it should be enough for daily conversation."
Lu Liang smiled and turned the computer screen towards Su Wanyu: "But I want to see Some professional articles are still difficult to understand.”
Su Wanyu suddenly felt a lot of pressure. To read the Wall Street Journal fluently, you need not only to know, but also to be proficient.
If we use the domestic definition of illiteracy, then more than 90% of people in the United States should be illiterate.
Chinese can be said to be the most refined language in the world. There are only about 7,000 commonly used characters. As long as you understand these characters, you can understand almost any meaning.
Even for new words in recent years, such as diving, fishing, and releasing water, these words have multiple meanings. People can understand the new meanings of the words without adding new words.
But English is different. Since entering the Internet era, the growth rate of new words is about 10,000 per year.
Some new things sometimes require many words to be put together to understand the meaning.
Even professors at SISU often look up the latest Oxford dictionary when they encounter words they don’t understand.
"Mr. Lu, if you want to read the All-England Daily fluently, you need to reserve a lot of vocabulary."
Su Wanyu kindly reminded that this process is very long, and she charges 400 yuan for one class, not counting Cheap.
"It's okay, I'm ready."
Lu Liang didn't think it was about money. He thought Su Wanyu was worried that he wouldn't be able to persist.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll read one sentence, you read one sentence after me, and I'll explain the meaning to you..."
