I have a Magical Door [MTL]

Ch 15

Chapter 15

 Yan Tingxin clicked on the calculator on his mobile phone, checked the Alipay and WeChat expenditures one by one, and calculated the expenses during this time.

I paid the most money for renting a house and paying it annually.

It cost a lot of money to add tables, cabinets, flower stands and other miscellaneous items to the new house.

I thought that in the past period of time, I had eaten better, slept better, and lived well, and I might overspend too much.

But when you think about it, it's not much more than a month without any door.

First, with any door, she doesn't have to pay for a round-trip car every day, and she doesn't need to maintain her car, pay for parking, or maintain her car.

Round-trip subway plus monthly bicycle sharing, as well as the money for the occasional taxi, or the transportation fee for buying and maintaining a car, all saved!

Second, although I change my tricks every day to check in "A Bite of China", most of the delicacies recommended by "A Bite of China" are the daily foods of the people. Maybe a bowl of Lanzhou beef ramen is more expensive to sell in a foreign land after thousands of miles of wandering, but it is an ordinary food that locals can eat every day in the local area, and a small bowl is only 10 yuan.

What Wuhan hot dry noodles, Guangdong rice noodles, as long as you don't add meat and eggs, more than a dozen yuan can solve the original breakfast in the local area.

It's even cheaper than drinking coffee and eating bread.

Among the three meals, it is to go to the restaurant at noon and enjoy the special food feast, which is a little more expensive.

But if the amount is too large to eat, Yan Tingxin, who cherishes food, will choose to pack it.

Thanks to Grandpa Yuan, we can say goodbye to hunger and save food, starting from me!

Third, she went to many scenic spots, and the biggest cost was the ticket money, and the additional consumption of scenic spots, some of which cost five or six hundred yuan for a trip.

Every time you use any door to play, it costs like this, and the total ticket price is not low.

However, in addition to the entrance fee and a small number of souvenirs, she is not sensitive to other high consumption in the scenic spot.

So the savings on commuting costs offset some of the ticket money.

She won't save more money!

Thanks to any door, I can see a bigger, farther, and more beautiful world.

It is such a beautiful scenery that encourages her to work harder.

She makes herself a better person, she wants to get promoted and raise her salary all the way, she wants to make more money to satisfy her ambitions and see more scenery!!

Spread out the brand new four-piece bed set, put the paper crane jar next to the pillow, and you can sleep with one dream after another every day.

Little by little, she is becoming a better person, a more emotionally stable person, and a happier person every day.

Come on!

Good night, the future.

......

After moving to a new home and calculating the daily expenses, Yan Tingxin became very motivated at work.

She's more motivated to work hard to make money!

Although there is any door, you can play everywhere. But since moving into her new home, she no longer plays as much as she wants every day, and she decides to slow down!

She sleeps well every day, she is not in a hurry to commute to work, she has enough energy, and she will patiently think about how to make her work better? How do you adapt to this complex environment? How to improve your core competitiveness?

The profession of translation was very popular many years ago, but now the market in this industry is slowly not so good, because of the emergence of a large number of machine translations, the remuneration of translating 1,000 words has dropped significantly, and many people can speak English, and the translation manuscript with a smaller length can be completed by yourself, and there is no need to find a translation company.

However, the excellent translators at the top of the pyramid do not have a low income, and there is never a shortage of work.

Many freelance translators, after receiving the manuscript, as long as they can finish the translation, the time is very free, and all the translation income belongs to themselves, so they don't have to commute or sit on duty.

But the only drawback is that the connection is not very stable.

In addition, there are many competitors in this industry, the level is uneven, some of them drive down prices, and the translation market is also very chaotic.

Yan Tingxin chose to work in a translation company after graduation, although the translation income depends on the company's distribution, that is, the company will take a cut, not completely belong to himself, in addition, the translation agency also needs to sit on a fixed shift every day, but at least it can ensure that the company's platform has stable customers, can receive jobs, and do not have to worry too much about whether they can receive manuscripts.

She has two goals, one is to make more money, and the other is to improve herself.

First, how to make more money?

There are two ways to make money, one is to do your job well and work harder. The salary given by their company, in addition to the fixed basic salary, is generally more work and more pay, the more translators the better, and the more opportunities they get.


In addition, Yan Tingxin has an account on the translation platform, and also opened a translation shop on Taobao, as a part-time job, receiving orders for various translation manuscripts, making extra money, what hotel brochures, stage play introductions, restaurant menus...... She'll pick it up.

There is no shame in making money, even if it is a small job.

Second, how can I improve myself?

Translation is a profession that learns from the past, and it is necessary to constantly improve oneself and improve one's core competitiveness.

Sometimes, the manuscript received covers a certain type of professional knowledge, and in order to translate a good manuscript, it is necessary to read a lot of relevant books.

Yan Tingxin bought a lot of books in Chinese and English, translating, translating, switching between the two languages, and the level of Chinese is also very important, even measuring the level of a translator.

At the same time, Yan Tingxin carefully prepared for the examination. She had already passed the National Qualification Examination for Translators and Interpreters (CATTI) in the year she graduated, and she registered for this year's CATTI Translation Level 2 and Interpretation Level 2, which is also referred to as Erbi and Erkou.

The pass rate of the second pen is only about 10 to 12 percent, and the pass rate of the second pass is only about 8 percent, and the pass rate varies slightly every year, but all of them remain within 10 percent.

In other words, only one person within ten people can pass the test.

The difficulty of the exam is not particularly difficult, but it is not particularly easy to say that it is simple.

For the ordinary Yan Tingxin, this is not a subject that can be passed by the naked exam.

So, she needs time to prepare.

Sometimes the company or part-time job receives a manuscript that is very urgent, or the volume is very large, so I have to work overtime. Once there is the uncertainty of overtime, it is difficult to plan the time.

Therefore, you can't give yourself a fixed arrangement, such as what to do on Monday 7:00~9:00, and plan the time to be very full.

No matter what time period it is, as long as you ensure that in addition to work, there is a fixed charging time every week, you will meet the standard.

she can go to English-speaking countries with any door, talk to native English speakers, improve her speaking skills, or snuggle up on the sofa, read relevant books, and improve her translation skills.

This is the usual charging time, and if it is the exam month, she will launch a test preparation shock.

However, if you go to work in English and get off work, you will not be able to stand it.

Therefore, there needs to be tension and relaxation.

One day on the weekend is a fixed rest time, and you can enjoy wherever you want, whether it is to see the lantern festival or the starry sky, you must forget about work and immerse yourself in life.

If you have any vacation and rest time left, it depends on the situation and you don't push yourself too hard.

Since having any door, she has learned not to wait.

When I used to buy something, I always thought 'I want to take time to go', 'I want to make a shopping list', 'I want to save a few things to buy together', 'how do I get in the car, I'm afraid of missing the last train'...... Now, let's go.

Don't let it be time to grind!

After many people work, time is unconsciously spent.

Some time is lost in commuting, some time is lost in waiting, and some time is lost without even knowing how it is lost.

When I was a child, I learned a piece of Zhu Ziqing's prose - "Hurry".

"The swallow has gone, and there is a time to come again; The willows are withered, and there is a time when they are green again; The peach blossoms are gone, and there is a time to bloom again. But, wise one, tell me, why are our days gone?

- Someone stole them: who is that? Where is it hidden? They fled on their own. Where is it now? "[Note]

Don't wait for idleness, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

She has to cherish the time she saves because of any door, work hard to make money, and work hard to improve herself.

Although this process will be tiring, distracted, and will want to give up. But looking at his own spending list, thinking about the food he ate in the north and south of the world, and the tickets to the scenic spots he bought, Yan Tingxin wanted to yell at himself - I want to work hard to make money!

......

Recently, I have been very motivated at work, I use my brain excessively, and I am especially hungry at noon.

I want to eat a delicious and full fast food for migrant workers at noon today - Jinan Pork Meat!

The meat is a masterpiece of Shandong cuisine, all over Shandong, and when you enter a small shop at noon, you are all migrant workers who come and go.

The ordering area of the store is neatly placed one after another stainless steel square basins and round basins, containing pots of meat, green peppers, eggplants, bean curd, chicken legs, meatballs, fried eggs and ...... soaked in rich sauces, as well as fried fast food dishes in the store, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, bean sprouts, beans, etc., which are sold with the feel of cooking in the canteen......

The aunts' cooking speed is also super fast, and it won't take her turn to wait in line for five minutes.

The aunt asked her, "Do you want it to be spicy, or not spicy?"

Yan Tingxin: "Let's have a piece of the same." One spicy, one not spicy. 

Auntie : "Do you want to be fatter or thinner?"

Yan Tingxin: "One is thin, one is fat." 

Only children do multiple-choice questions, I want them all!
