Chapter 23-Recruitment

I have a younger sister who is a kind of father and mother who studied in France and got a DEA master’s degree. She majored in currency and finance. During my study abroad, I didn’t know what style I smoked. I learned Chinese for a year. I went to China once and I was very fluent in Chinese. He is cheerful and energetic.

Mina described her sister this way.

This very energetic sister is called Latina. Anyway, the names of Algerian women basically end in various “a” vowels. After graduation, you are unemployed. The major of currency and finance appears to be very compelling in France, but it is useless to return to Algeria. The financial industry in this country is really underdeveloped, and those who can enter the golden rice bowl have backgrounds.

Latina has been at home for almost half a year. She has always hoped that she can make use of her expertise in Chinese and go to work in Huaguo, but there is no way out.

Now the opportunity is here. The company where my sister Mina works is cooperating with a Chinese company on a big project. Latina has great hopes for this.

There are no secrets in the daily trivial work of the project. Of course, Chen Ling doesn’t mind whether the translator is a local or a Chinese, as long as he can work. Recruiting a master’s degree from France can also enhance the company’s image. However, in this country, Chen Ling has his concerns.

Chen Ling looked at the beautiful secretary in front of him, blinked his eyes, considered the words, controlled the voice and intonation, and said, “We do need translation…”

“Great, I’ll let Latina contact you.” Mina was very excited, and was finally able to send Latina out to work, who was eating at home and waiting to die.

“Mina, wait a minute, let me finish, and you will decide.” Chen Ling had to interrupt her and said, “First of all, we are an engineering company and build a house. The working environment is relatively poor and the noise is loud. There is a lot of dust.”

Mina said: “That’s okay, Latina is a hard-working girl.”

Chen Ling continued: “Second, there are basically no female employees in our projects. You know, doing engineering is manual work, so the working conditions are not friendly to women, such as toilets.”

Mina shook her head: “No problem, no problem, I saw your temporary facility drawings, very good.”

Chen Ling must speak out all the inappropriate working conditions and let the other party choose, so he continued: “Third, the translation work is very complicated, and you have to go out and show your face, such as accompany to the material supply unit, accompany to go shopping, and wait. , If a colleague is sick, you have to accompany you to the hospital…”

Mina hesitated and asked, “Do you have any other translations?”

Chen Ling nodded: “There will be, we will need several translators, but not yet.”

Mina frowned and thought for a while, and then smiled: “No problem, you will definitely help Latina, right? She is very good and cute. You will know when you see her. You can arrange for her to do it in the office in the future. Translation work, right?”

Chen Ling knew that this was Mina’s advantage as the owner’s boss secretary. In China, the person recommended by the secretary of Party A’s boss had already confessed, so what else do you need to say?

Therefore, Chen Ling nodded and said: “Well, let’s let Latina choose by herself. At 8:30 tomorrow morning, come to our hotel and I will talk to her. Don’t worry, we are good friends, not to mention you. It is Mr. Nabir’s secretary. I will definitely help you. As long as your sister’s Chinese can be used for work, she is willing to…”

“Okay, no problem, she will be there tomorrow, and I will give you a surprise.” Mina interrupted Chen Ling before he could finish, then looked at the direction of her office and said, “That’s it. Thank you in advance! Mr. Nabil will find me in a moment, I have to pass.”

After speaking, Mina shook hands with Chen Ling, squeezed harder than usual, and turned away.



Chen Ling took a deep breath, stabilized his mood, and thought: “Where did Nabil find such a secretary, can you stand it every day?”

Chen Ling didn’t realize that compared with Nabir, he was completely a young child, so he was so easy to sway his heart, and he had no resistance to the slight warmth of the opposite sex.

Chen Ling returned to the hotel where he was staying, reported today’s situation to Lao Liang, and told him Kelim and Mina’s requirements. Lao Liang let Chen Ling decide for himself, as long as the driver and translator can use it.

Chen Ling said: “President Liang, we are now firmly established in Algiers. If one project is not enough, we must continue to have projects. I saw their plan on the owner’s side today. It is in the sandy nest nearby here. , They plan to build a hotel larger than what we did. Let’s apply to the management department and find a way to move this forward.”

Lao Liang said, “Are you sure?”

Chen Ling shook his head: “I can’t say whether I’m sure now, but we have already cooperated with the owner and we have an advantage.”

Old Liang also shook his head: “Mr. Chen, we are going to accept the project, but we must also consider the risks. We want to gain a foothold in Algiers, so we can’t put eggs in a basket. If our project is the owner If the owner’s finances have problems, we will also have problems. This owner is an enterprise, not the government.”

Chen Ling had never thought about this problem, all he thought about was how to take more projects. Of course, now he understands that before accepting the project, he must discuss the conditions with the company and how much bonus he will be given if he receives it.

Lao Liang continued: “You want to take this project, I have no objection, but you must figure out the owner’s financial situation to avoid stepping on thunder in the future.”

Chen Ling nodded. Although this old Liang is average, he has been in the engineering industry for so many years and has rich experience.

Chen Ling asked humbly: “How can I understand their financial status?”

Lao Liang bowed his head and didn’t say anything. He didn’t know what he thought of. After a while, he said, “You can find their financial reports and their tax status. As long as the financial situation is healthy, we can all say that it is not just to build a hotel.”

Chen Ling nodded, thinking that he must continue to study, and he still doesn’t understand a lot of things. He doesn’t want to get in touch with engineering matters, but he has to figure out business matters by himself.

At this time, Wei Dongpo also came back, bringing back two white Peugeot 307s and a white Toyota pickup truck. Lao Liang went down to the hotel parking lot to check the car and asked, “Didn’t you tell me, I want a black one.”



Wei Dongpo sighed and said, “Leader, they only have white ones. The black ones have to wait for the boat to arrive, and there are still two weeks. We are waiting to use the car, so we brought them all back.”

The next day, Latina arrived at the hotel for an interview on time.

Chen Ling was a little disappointed. Mina’s appearance, figure, and clothes are definitely a beautiful woman; but her sister from the same father and mother is mediocre in appearance, freckled, and slightly fat, making Chen Ling, who just met, suspect that this is Mina. Said “surprise”.

The real surprise came after the conversation between the two. The Chinese proficiency of this lady Latina is very good. There is basically no obstacle in the dialogue between the two. Chen Ling deliberately tested a few difficult sentences and words, and Latina basically answered it, and used other methods for those who did not answer it. Express it.

“Do you have a driver’s license and can drive?” Chen Ling asked her.

“Yes, I drive every day in France, and drive my niece to school every day after I come back to Algeria.” Latina looked very confident.

Chen Ling asked Latina to drive her newly bought Peugeot 307 to the project site and let her see the working environment with her own eyes. He drove to the camp, which was still a wasteland.

During the process, Latina didn’t change her face, and looked at the messy environment and nodded her head: “No problem, no problem. You will all build well, right?”

Chen Ling nodded, thinking, it’s not bad, the driver adds an interpreter.

He decided to try it for a while.

Latina drove the brand new Peugeot 307 and returned to the hotel with Chen Ling. As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Ling was grabbed by a person, and that person shouted: “No, no, no, it’s not like this, this is mine, this is mine, not hers.”
