Chapter 4The Mind Reader's Downfall

"No!"

Chloe screamed in objection.

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Chloe squeezed out a smile,

"I, I mean, Harper can also learn some experience on such a big occasion. What if she needs it in the future?"

Ethan also frowned unhappily,

"What kind of temper are you throwing again? Isn't it a fact that everyone says you can't compare to Chloe?"

"Who can you threaten by saying you won't go? Since you don't want to go, then don't go!"

I didn't speak.

Chloe was the one who got anxious,

"Ethan, let Harper go. After all, I haven't come into contact with such a large-scale meeting. If Harper goes, we can also learn from each other!"

Colleagues praised unanimously,

"Chloe, she has to put on an act and prepare for half a day every time she translates, and you still leave her face. She should be eagerly learning from you!"

Chloe pestered Ethan, begging constantly.

Ethan nodded reluctantly,

"Alright! For Chloe's sake, I'll give you another chance."

"You have three minutes. Pack up and go downstairs immediately! If you are a second late, you don't have to go!"

Chloe stared at me intently, afraid I would say the word "no."

I spoke slowly,

"Okay! Then I'll still go."

Only then did Chloe breathe a sigh of relief.

When we arrived at the meeting venue and the translators were ready.

Chloe reached out to stop me.

"Wait!"

"I thought about it, let me do the translation this time!"

Chloe spoke sincerely,

"Usually in small occasions, I let you have it. But this translation work is very important, it's not the time for you to show off."

"Harper, your foundation is not as solid as mine, let me do it!"

Just as I was about to speak, Ethan nodded in agreement immediately.

"Makes sense! This meeting is very important to the company, there can't be any mistakes."

"Harper, hurry up and thank Chloe. She stepped out for you. If your translation mistake affects the company's IPO, then you are the sinner of the company. Let's see how you explain to the board of directors then!"

I sneered. Decades of study and work experience were described as worthless by her.

When the company was just established, I took four or five translation sessions a day, standing for eight or nine hours, to help the company establish a good reputation in the industry.

Now I've become the sinner of the company.

Chloe snatched my job, and I still have to be grateful to her?

Seeing I didn't move, colleagues also mocked one after another,

"No way, Harper. Don't tell me you really want to fight with Chloe for this translation?"

"This is an opportunity Chloe gave you to learn by bringing you here. You can't be so ungrateful!"

"Let alone Chloe's professional quality is stronger than yours, just looking at her appearance is more pleasing to the eye than yours. Look at you, your dark circles are almost like panda eyes!"

I raised my hand and touched the dark circles caused by staying up late checking materials.

If it were my previous life, I would definitely argue strongly.

But now...

I looked around and smiled,

"I have no objection. I hope you also take responsibility for your choices and don't regret it."

Colleagues laughed and said I thought too much.

Ethan sneered even more,

"I let her go on stage. If there's any problem, I'll bear it all."

I didn't argue, yielding the position to Chloe.

Chloe blinked at me,

"Harper, you used to stand in this position. Whenever I approached, you would argue non-stop. You are so quiet today, I'm a bit unaccustomed to it!"

"But you also have to admit the difference in talent between people. You spent twelve years to get to this position, and I can stand here in a month."

"Just watch and learn how I translate later!"

I ignored her.

The meeting began, and Chloe sat steadily in the translator's position.

Ethan and colleagues offstage made gestures to cheer her on.

The next second, Chloe's expression became serious.

This engrossed look made Ethan sigh with emotion,

"Chloe is really born to do this job, going all out in everything she does."

Colleagues also echoed one after another.

The next second, Chloe opened her mouth,

"Namo Ratnatrayaya, Namo Aryavalokitesvaraya..." (Verses from the Great Compassion Mantra)

Instantly, everyone in the venue widened their eyes.
