Fu Yunpeng nodded to indicate that he understood.

After all, they are currently operating in the shadows while the traitors are in the open, so we need to be even more cautious.

As his daughter, Shu Ying is already an easy target for traitors. If she appears in this kind of situation, she might be discovered...

The two exchanged a few words briefly, not daring to say more, and subtly observed their surroundings, becoming even more cautious.

The meeting was about to begin when suddenly, one of the interpreters from the Soviet delegation's table, who had just stood up, collapsed.

Director Wu was startled and, together with Zhou Weizhou, called over the medical staff who had been prepared in advance in the venue and immediately went to check on the situation.

After examining the patients, the medical staff looked grave.

"Although the cause is still unknown, the translator appears to be in shock, and the situation is serious. He must be taken to the hospital immediately for treatment."

"shock?"

Director Wu and Zhou Weizhou immediately frowned.

If someone suddenly collapses at such a critical moment, it's fine if it's just a coincidence, but if it's deliberately orchestrated, it means they don't want the meeting to proceed smoothly.

Director Wu quickly arranged for the person to be sent to the hospital.

The Soviet representative watched the person leave, then looked anxiously at Director Wu.

"Wu, what are we going to do now? Without this person, who will translate for us in the upcoming meetings?"

Director Wu calmed himself down and reassured the other party.

"Please don't worry, let me think of a solution."

Director Wu and Zhou Weizhou exchanged a glance, and almost instantly thought of someone.

The next second, the two of them turned their heads in unison to look in Shu Ying's direction.

Shu Ying had been paying close attention to the situation here, and her heart tightened upon seeing this.

Instantly understanding their meaning, the woman in the restroom nervously pursed her lips.

Translating a foreign language into Mandarin is not too difficult for her, after all, Chinese is her mother tongue, the language she has used since childhood, and all her knowledge comes from her mother tongue, so she can naturally use it flexibly in the translation process to achieve accurate translation.

But if you were to translate the meaning of Mandarin into Russian and convey it to them... the difficulty would increase more than tenfold.

Translating everyday conversations like before wouldn't be too difficult for her, since everyday conversations have a higher margin for error; as long as the basic meaning is conveyed correctly, it's fine.

But this is a very important and serious meeting involving multiple countries.

Serving as an interpreter at such a conference requires extremely accurate translation skills and lightning-fast reaction time.

While ensuring the meeting proceedings are not delayed, it is also necessary to accurately convey the content of all speakers' remarks to the Soviet side.

Otherwise, even the slightest deviation in the translation could lead to a misunderstanding by the Soviet representative, potentially causing significant misunderstandings between different countries, and in severe cases, even affecting relations between nations…

Such a mistake is fatal.

Such meetings have a very low margin for error and require the most accurate and precise translation.

The difficulty of this translation is self-evident.

Although Shu Ying was fairly confident in her Russian proficiency, she still needed to be extremely careful to achieve such precision.

She was also afraid that she might make a mistake.

But apart from her, it seems that no other member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attending this meeting could fill that position.

Only now did Shu Ying truly understand why one of the most important requirements for translators is strong resilience and a good mindset.

In this situation, if there is even the slightest problem with one's mental state, who knows how big a mistake might be made.

Shu Ying felt the pressure was like an invisible mountain pressing down on her.

She slowly exhaled.

She had no choice but to go through with it, even if it seemed impossible.

Just as Shu Ying was about to get up, Du Zhiwei, with a serious expression, began to give her instructions.

"What are you waiting for? Director Wu wants you to step in. Go now! Do you want to leave the Soviet side without a job?"

Without any hesitation, she reached out and snatched the documents from Shu Ying's hand.

"You don't need to worry about this anymore. Just leave your work to me and Zhou Weizhou. You don't need to do anything here, so hurry up and get back there!"

"Let me tell you, when you get there you have to be very careful with your words. Think every word through before you speak. It's not like before, where you could translate however you wanted. You..."

Shu Ying glanced at her speechlessly.

This Du Zhiwei, her intentions are good, but she always speaks in such an annoying way, with an air of arrogance.

I wonder when I'll be able to get rid of this bad habit.

Now was not the time to argue, and Shu Ying was too lazy to pay attention to her. Before she could finish speaking, without even glancing at her, she calmed her breathing and got up to walk over.

Du Zhiwei pursed her lips from behind.

"What kind of attitude is that! Not even a reply."

Under the scrutinizing gazes of everyone, Shu Ying walked over, feeling immense pressure.

Director Wu's expression wasn't much more relaxed than Shu Ying's; he patted Shu Ying on the shoulder.

"Xiao Shu, I'm leaving this place to you. Don't be nervous, I have faith in your abilities."

"If you have any problems, come to me anytime. Don't worry, you can definitely do it."

Shu Ying nodded.

"Please rest assured, Director Wu, I will do my best."

Director Wu felt much more at ease seeing that although she was a little nervous, she was still quite composed in her speech and behavior and did not lose her composure.

For young people of this age, attending a meeting of this level for the first time is already quite an achievement to remain calm, let alone being pulled into the fray at the last minute. Maintaining a normal level of thinking is already a challenge.

It's rare to see someone like Shu Ying who doesn't look much different from usual.

Just as she had imagined, this girl had a strong mentality and was a promising talent.

Director Wu patted Shu Ying on the shoulder again to encourage her, then turned and returned to his seat as the military representative.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shu Ying maintained her usual demeanor and smile, steadily walked to the seat of the Soviet representative, and sat down in the place of the translator who had just collapsed.

Several Soviet representatives couldn't help but turn around to observe her, their brows furrowing slightly.

It's as if they're questioning whether such a young and beautiful girl can really handle this job.

Before Shu Ying could speak, Howard and Lusca began praising her without hesitation.

“We know this Ms. Shu Ying. Her translation skills are excellent. When we first arrived in China, we encountered some difficulties, and she came to help us with the translation…”

"Moreover, she had studied abroad before and is a very outstanding woman."

Lusca and Howard enthusiastically helped Shu Ying explain, frequently giving her a thumbs-up, their words full of affirmation of Shu Ying's skill level.

While listening, the other members of the Su team couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Shu Ying with suspicion, still subconsciously doubting what Lusca and Howard had said.

However, this doubt was quickly dispelled at the beginning of the next meeting.
