When two people live together for a long time, whether it is life or psychology, it is inevitable to accommodate and give in to each other. In real life, it is not uncommon for many people to temporarily abandon their dreams for their other half.
In order to be with a boy, a girl goes to the city where he works, a boy accepts some changes in his job to stay nearby for his girlfriend, a boy gets used to the girl's willful mischief, a girl accepts the boy's smelly feet and snoring, etc.
From a certain perspective, the relationship between Yang Lilu and Liu Jingting also belongs to this situation. Yang Lilu herself has a high level of literary and artistic literacy and is basically qualified to edit magazines. Liu Jingting is more than adequate as a translator and is overqualified. So for now, Yang Lilu is really My job is just to translate the "Harry Potter" series of books, and by the way, I handle some important emails from abroad for Liu Jingting. For a female scholar who could possibly recite the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, it was obviously an abdication of talent.
On the surface, Yangliu¡¯s current combination is perfect, working together, living together, fighting side by side, and staying together through thick and thin.
However, novels, film and television are actually Liu Jingting¡¯s ideal and passionate career. As for Yang Lilu, the job she really wants to do is to be a translator.
This is the affirmative conclusion that Liu Jingting has just come to. In fact, he has made this conclusion before. What is the job that Yang Lilu desires most? Is it really the current assistant and translator?
However, later I thought that translating novels was also part of the translation work. Yang Lilu had not learned anything useless. In addition, the two had just been together for a short time, and their sweetness and intimacy were at their peak. Other things were minor conflicts, so they did not go into details. Thinking about this problem until Tang Rui's arrival, Liu Jingting watched her and Yang Lilu chatting about translation together, and looked at the twinkling light in her eyes. Finally understood what her real interests were.
"But, being a translator is very hard, are you willing to let me work so hard?"
Yang Lilu met Liu Jingting¡¯s encouraging and gentle gaze. Know that he did not just say something casually or make an impromptu decision, but made a decision after careful consideration. Feeling moved and a little guilty, I asked jokingly.
"But if you don't do it, you will always feel regretful, right?" Liu Jingting asked.
Yang Lilu stopped refuting and lowered her head as if she had been seen through.
"You don't have to feel guilty. I can only be happy to see that you can realize your ideal. And isn't it said that 'simultaneous interpretation' is the temple of every interpreter?" Liu Jingting spread his palms to make a circle.
"But¡¡"
"Stop it. Just go ahead and do it. When one day you are tired and want to quit the world, you can come back to work as my boss's translator and assistant. Then you will have no regrets."
Yang Lilu stared at Liu Jingting for a while, then nodded slightly.
Simultaneous interpreting is known as the ¡°language gold collar¡± in the translation industry. It is the most expensive hourly job. One day¡¯s salary is even as much as a month¡¯s salary for a white-collar worker.
Of course, Yang Lilu did not work as a translator for the salary, because it was more important than the salary. The reward for being Liu Jingting's translator can be called platinum among platinums.

At the end of June, schools start their summer vacations one after another. After Zhou Lai finished his school work, he and Wang Jianshan started to move. Other colleagues helped with packing. The atmosphere was not as sad as expected.
Kang Lingyue joked: "Originally, I was going to say that when all of you got into pairs, I would take the initiative to move out, but you unexpectedly beat me to it, so I had no choice but to continue living there."
Liu Jingting sat on the cleared table and said, "In addition, I want to announce one more thing. I plan to take a break from "Jiang Lu" after publishing the September issue, and give everyone a month-long holiday in conjunction with the National Day."
Everyone stopped what they were doing. Look at Liu Jingting.
""The Sentimental Swordsman" will be completed in October and the magazine will be closed for one issue in October."
In the past, everyone was somewhat repulsive about taking long vacations from journals. I feel that this is not in line with the normal operation rules of the magazine. Now even Chang Youdao is looking forward to the National Day holiday and is planning to take this opportunity to travel with Tang Rui and win it completely, so he has no objection to Liu Jingting's proposal.
Wang Jianshan said: "Then it's like taking my wedding leave in advance."
Liu Jingting smiled and nodded.
Kang Lingyue glanced at Liu Jingting and asked: "After "Little Li Flying Knife" is finished, do you have any plans?"
Liu Jingting pressed his hands on the table, jumped down from the table, and said, "I'm going to take a vacation for half a year to a year or even longer. In short, I want to leave this circle for a while, and then accompany Lulu to study in the United States. How about you, Ling Yue?"??
Kang Lingyue did not answer, but asked: "Are you going to study in the United States?"
"yes."
Kang Lingyue thought for a while and then said, "I'm going to travel with Aunt Qing."
Xu Qing nodded.
"Su Jin," Liu Jingting turned to Su Jin with a strange smile and said, "The next news you send out must intentionally or unintentionally pave the way for the suspension of the magazine, so that everyone will not backlash too much."
Su Jin nodded and said, "I understand."
"What are your plans for the long vacation?"
"I haven't thought that far yet, but I want to stay at home and write something about our editorial department and my own experience working in "Jianglu"."
Liu Jingting¡¯s eyes lit up and he said, ¡°This is a good topic. Why don¡¯t you just publish a book on this topic? If you need any information, you can directly submit it in the group.¡±
Su Jin was startled. She had never thought about this. She summarized and sorted out the previous "Stories from the Editorial Department" column, and then used the October holiday to not write any content. She could have published a book, and because the book would contain It involves many personal matters of Liu Jingting (at least the advertising can do so), and it is not an exaggeration to say that the sales volume is at least 100,000 copies.
For Su Jin, if she publishes a book with a sales volume of 100,000 copies, she can get nearly 150,000 yuan in royalties, which is equal to her one-year salary. Considering the boss's usual generous style, it may be more.
Liu Jingting made this proposal, and the purpose was obvious, which was to make some extra money for her.
"How about it, Misu, are you confident?" Liu Jingting asked.
Su Jin nodded hurriedly and said, "No problem."

In August, the serialization of "The Sentimental Swordsman" caused a wave of heated discussion in the online world due to a conversation between Ah Fei and Li Xunhuan, and eventually spread to academia and the entire literary and art world.
Chapter 14 of the novel has a story about Li Xunhuan who was misunderstood as the "Plum Blossom Thief" and was tricked by Long Xiaoyun into having his acupoints tapped. Ah Fei was about to save him with a sword and had this conversation with Li Xunhuan:
¡¾A Fei said: You mean, if I want to become famous, I'd better learn to be obedient, right?
Li Xunhuan said: "That's true at all. As long as you are willing to give up all the limelight to these heroes, these heroes will think that you are young and mature and a talent that can be developed. In another ten or twenty years, when these heroes When all the heroes are in the coffin, it will be your turn to become famous. ¡¿
Li Xunhuan¡¯s rant not only exposed the hypocrisy of the heroes in the book, but also exposed and ridiculed the ugly phenomena in some circles and industries today.
After the serial was released, some people applauded and applauded, while some were uncomfortable and refuted it.
However, there are more than one or two similar wise-cracking comments in the novel, which is why Li Xunhuan is called an "observer" above other characters. The novel also criticizes and satirizes the dark phenomena of society from another aspect. It illustrates the positive value orientation of this novel.
This debate lasted until the end, and finally came to an end with the conclusion of a professor that "novel serialization needs plot twists and turns to create topics to maintain the popularity and freshness of the series."
"The two sides should not harm each other and adopt the golden mean. Anyway, Liu Jingting has no interest in participating in the discussion at all.
Just when the dust was about to settle on this topic, the September issue of "Jianglu" suddenly announced three blockbuster news:
, that is, "Jiang Lu" has a bye in October;
2. "Sentimental Swordsman: Ruthless Sword" will be released on October 15;
, to rest and recuperate, new works may not be available to you until a year or more later.
As soon as these three pieces of news came out, the internet world that had just been silent started to boil again, especially the news that Liu Jingting announced that he would stop writing for a year or more. The shock intensity directly overshadowed the influence of the other two announcements.
What makes people laugh or cry is that after some discussion, Liu Jingting's vacation is no longer "a normal break after a lot of work and double reading", but "a manifestation of the inability to succeed in the entire martial arts novel genre."
However, as Liu Jingting said at the beginning, he will no longer care about any controversy this time.
"We had a good meeting today, we enjoyed each other very much, and if we meet again in the future, it will be a pleasant surprise if we meet again in Wenyan."
Before Liu Jingting went on vacation, he updated his personal microblog with this paragraph.
