Annie Smith is fluent in eight languages, yet she spends three years working as a junior translator at a trading company, earning only $24,000 a year. She hides her true abilities on purpose. After her parents passed away, she sealed away every language she knew, along with the memories tied to them, choosing instead to live as an unnoticed, low-level translator. But during a critical international negotiation, a mistake by her team leader nearly destroys the entire project. Forced into a corner, Annie finally speaks up in German and turns the situation around. Her hidden talent is unexpectedly exposed, bringing both workplace suppression and new opportunities. Through an antique left behind by her father and a letter he wrote to her, Annie finds the courage to face her past. Along the way, she also finds love. With eight languages, Annie builds bridges between worlds. And at last, she realises that language was never a cage—it was her wings.

00:00I'm Annie Smith, a junior translator at White Global Trading Co. Lou Did.
00:04I've been here for three years and make $24,000 a year.
00:08Pretty ordinary, right?
00:10But in fact, I'm fluent in eight languages.
00:13English, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Arabic, and Italian.
00:19Nobody knows that.
00:21My father was a diplomat and mother was simultaneous as interpreter.
00:25Five years ago, they died in a car accident.
00:27I've never wanted to show off because of these skills.
00:30I just want to keep my head down and be a small, unassuming translator.
00:34Let's welcome Mr. White to the stage.
00:39Everyone have worked hard over the past year.
00:42Thank you for your dedication.
00:45In the new year, we will...
00:48It's been ten minutes.
00:50And I'm down here counting how many times he says thank you
00:53while he's giving the speech.
00:56Annie, you'd better win the lucky draw later.
00:59If you do, dinner's on me.
01:03Sure, why not?
01:04That's my everyday life.
01:06Elon is my only friend at work.
01:09She doesn't know I speak eight languages.
01:12But she does know one thing.
01:16Also, I have another one.
01:20Everyone here, who speaks German,
01:23will have a 70% chance of suffering.
01:2970%.
01:30My salary would go from $24,000 to $4,800.
01:35But it has nothing to do with me.
01:37I told myself, it has nothing to do with me.
01:44Annie, did you understand that?
01:47No.
01:48I don't speak German.
01:51Right, of course, you only have a certificate in Spanish.
01:54What could you possibly understand?
01:57Poor thing.
02:00Scarlett, majoring in German, French, and Spanish,
02:03is the head of translator team.
02:06She got promoted in just three months,
02:08and has been riding that high ever since.
02:12Mm-hmm.
02:14Anyway, the raise has nothing to do with you.
02:17Just keep doing the basic work.
02:21Oh, and remember to translate
02:23the annual meeting press replaced tonight.
02:25I didn't say anything.
02:27A 70% raise.
02:29The German translation team consists of four people,
02:31plus Scarlett.
02:32Only five people would get it.
02:34What did that have to do with me?
02:36Nothing.
02:37Really, nothing.
02:43Anne!
02:43Stay right there!
02:44I'm coming over right now!
02:48Annie?
02:50Why didn't you raise your hand just now?
02:52Raise my hand for what?
02:55You definitely understood that German, right?
02:5770%.
02:59You only make 24,000 a year.
03:01After the raise, that's 4,800 a year.
03:05No, I didn't get the meaning.
03:06I don't speak German.
03:10Who are you trying to fool?
03:11Your French is already that good.
03:13You expect me to believe you don't understand German?
03:15Are you kidding me?
03:17I really don't understand German.
03:19Anne, that crappy place you rent barely have working heating.
03:24Sometimes, you even can't bring yourself to go when we go out for a drink on Friday.
03:27Can't you stand up for yourself for once?
03:29Ellen caught me reading a French book in the pantry last year.
03:32I told her I'd studied a little bit French.
03:36She's been holding it in for almost a year.
03:38I don't want to expose.
03:45Oh my god, Annie, what are you afraid of?
03:51Fine. Keep pretending. I'm done.
03:54But, Annie, I'm telling you.
03:56You're going to suffer with that kind of personality sooner or later.
04:01Alright.
04:02Alright.
04:09Guter Schaßzug, oder?
04:10Schließlich können das nur die Leute aus dem deutschen Team verstehen.
04:14Das bedeutet, dass sich nur dem Kernteam eine Gehens-Erhöhung gibt.
04:18Alle anderen werden einfach denken, dass ich eine motivasierisch-reh halte.
04:23Sehr brillant, Mr. White.
04:27Abros.
04:28Wen schäden wir nächste Woche für das Projekt der Crownville Group?
04:34Scarlet. Sie spricht am besten Deutsch.
04:38Ich habe gehört, dass Präsident Anderson von Crownville ziemlich schwierig ist.
04:42Letztes Mal hat er das gesamte Übersesserskump von Meridian aus dem Besprengsraum hinangefrogen.
04:47Das sollte kein Problem sein. Scarlet kommt damit klar.
04:54Leute, auf Arnes Nivelle sollten wir diesmal nicht mitmehen. Sie könnten das Meeting ruinieren.
05:01They didn't know I could understand them. They thought I was just a small translator.
05:08But that's only to be expected. I haven't shown what I'm capable of either.
05:13Annie, send me the proofread version of last week's contract tomorrow.
05:18Yes, Mr. White.
05:26I placed the proofread contract on Brian White's desk the next day.
05:30It was a 30,000 word Spanish contract.
05:33And I had corrected 47 mistakes in the original translation.
05:37The original translator was Scarlet, but my name would never appear on the proofread version.
05:42It would only show translation department on the surface.
05:46Scarlet never knew her translations had been corrected by me.
05:50She thought she was the top.
05:53Annie, did you hear?
05:55Hear what? Scarlet is going to handle the Crownwell International next week.
05:59I heard.
06:01Do you know President Anderson of Crownwell?
06:08Who?
06:09Who?
06:09Who?
06:09Who?
06:09Who?
06:10Who?
