*从刚刚何经理一路上待他进来 – MTL: From the manager who had just taken him in. I used yabla to piece it together
It was very different from that man. After sitting for a few more minutes, Director He finally came back, opening the conference room's door. Ren Zhouyuan heard the sound and looked toward the direction of the door. Two pairs of eyes locked on each other*. Director He was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Finished so soon?"*两人四目相对. Rough literal translation would be: "Both people’s four eyes faced each other "
Ren Zhouyuan smiled and handed him the topic on the table. Director He quickly picked it up and read it all the way through, his expression growing more and more serious. Halfway, he looked at Ren Zhouyuan then turned to the front and read it again from the beginning. The second time, Director He looked more carefully. Ren Zhouyuan was quite confident. He was so 一弄*. He couldn’t help but straighten his back, sitting more upright.*被他这么一弄- MTL: He was so confused (from Bing). But that makes no sense. (弄) means to do; to manage; to handle; to play with; to fool with; to mess with; to fix; to toy with.
Director He read the whole text word by word. Afterwards, he let out a gentle sigh and looked at Ren Zhouyuan again, his eyes s.h.i.+ning bit. He smiled kindly at Ren Zhouoyuan and said: "Our side has basically no problem. Of course, as long as you get through us, you will become a member of Vichy. But by chance, our President is at the company right now. He attaches great importance to the person hired for this position, so I'll have to trouble Mr. Ren to go with me." When Ren Zhouyuan heard the first half of the sentence, he felt a bit odd. But when he heard the second half, he was shocked. Must see the president…..that is….?! Ren Zhouyuan dazedly followed after Director He as he stood up, his heart in a frenzied mess. He was thinking of how to escape, a.n.a.lyzing the route he took when he first entered, which corner he could disappear into without being found. Staring at the back of Director He, he wondered if he could stun him for a second and escape before anyone else could notice. His mind was all over the place, thinking like a heavenly steed, soaring across the skies*, when the owner of the head in front of him stopped and said in a tone tinged with surprise: "Why* did the President come personally?"*an idiom, meaning bold and imaginative; unconstrained in style
*怎么 – could either mean how, what or why.
*were futile
*like a criminal
*I feel like there's supposed to be some clever wordplay in this part. "To worry" has the same character as "to hang" or "to suspend," that being (悬). And the end of the sentence said "…finally fell to the ground," or (总算落地). So it may artistically imply that his worries (悬) were finally gone…as in fell to the ground (落地).
TL Note: orz again I apologize for the name mix up. Zhouyan and Zhouyuan are one letter different, but the characters clearly state that it’s yuan, not yan. Forgive me wuwuwuwu
But anyways, Leonid didn’t recognize him…or did he? Ah well, at least he got the job.
