Chapter 486: Who Ate the Chicken?
In the face of Chen Geng's opinion, most students were thoughtful.
When most of the students were thoughtful, the arm that had just been raised stood out.
"This classmate, what's your problem?" Chen Geng nodded to the girl with her arms raised high (why is it a girl?), and at the same time motioned to the staff on the side to give the girl a microphone: This girl is a little far away from him.
"Thank you, teacher," the girl was very polite, thanked the teacher who handed her the microphone, and then said: "I think what you just said is right, but I think the humanities in European and American countries are better, and the relationship between people is more friendly.
"I very much agree with the sentence 'Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing'," Chen Geng nodded: "But to say that Western humanities are much better than Huaxia in terms of interpersonal relations, I don't agree with this very much." ”
The girl obviously didn't expect Chen Geng to say this, she was a little surprised, and then even a little angry: "Mr. Chen, you are not telling the truth, I have seen in many reports, in the developed countries of Western Europe and the United States, the relationship between people is very harmonious, everyone is very willing to help others, the relationship between people in the West is very harmonious, not so indifferent between our countries...... I don't know if you've heard of the legend of the chief manager of the Hilton Hotel?"
Hearing the words "legendary story", Chen Geng's heart was cold: miserable, another poor girl who was brainwashed by chicken soup.
"I'm listening. Chen Geng stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
"It was said that in Europe, one night, it was late, and an elderly couple came to a hotel and wanted to rest. But the waiter told them that the hotel was full and that there was no empty room, but the waiter at the inn saw that the old man was very tired, and could not bear to let the old man go to another hotel late at night, so he led the old man to a very small room, and said, 'Maybe it's not the best, but that's all I can do.' ’
When the old man saw that it was a neat and clean house, he stayed very happily.
When the old man checked out the bill the next morning, the waiter with black circles under his eyes told them that they didn't have to pay for it, and at this time the old man understood that the room they lived in before was the room where the waiter rested at night when he was on night duty, and in order to let the two old people rest well, the waiter was on an all-night shift at the front desk.
Knowing all this, the two old men were very moved, and said to the waiter: 'Sir, you are the best brigade I have ever seen, and I will thank you.' But the waiter said this was what I should do.
The matter passed like this, and the waiter quickly forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, just over a month later, the waiter received a letter containing a plane ticket to New York in addition to a letter, and after he arrived in New York by plane, he followed the route indicated in the letter to a place, and found a splendid hotel standing in front of him.
It turned out that late that night more than a month ago, he was hosting the owner of a Hilton hotel with billions of assets and his wife. The rich man bought a big hotel for the waiter, and was convinced that he would run it well."
Speaking of this, the girl looked at Chen Geng with a provocative face: "Mr. Chen, haven't you heard of such a famous legend?"
Ding Ruoyan's table mate was about to explode, she looked angrily at the girl who was looking at Chen Geng with a provocative face, and said to Ding Ruoyan through gritted teeth: "What is the gorgeous girl, Ruoyan, you give her back......"
Ding Ruoyan was also very angry, but angry was angry, looking at Chen Geng's confident face, she was extremely relieved, shook her head and said, "I believe that Mr. Chen Geng can handle it." ”
For Chen Geng, the question of this girl whose name he didn't know was too easy to answer, he kept nodding frequently, not angry at all, and only after this girl whose values have begun to have a foreign moon rounder than China finished speaking, he said: "Okay, this classmate, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course!" the girl looked confident.
"First question, do you know anything about the Hilton? or, more simply, do you know the history of the Hilton?"
"Uh......" gorgeous face turned red: Where do you go to the history of the Hilton Hotel?
To his surprise, Chen Geng didn't embarrass himself, and seeing that he didn't answer, he didn't even think much of himself, he just nodded: "Okay, then the second question, do you know who the first general manager of the Hilton Hotel and the founder of the Hilton Hotel is?"
“......”
Gorgeous blushed even more: she still couldn't answer this second question herself.
Chen Geng continued to ask: "The third question, do you know in which year the first transatlantic flight route was opened in the field of world civil aviation?"
Gorgeous: "......"
At this moment, Hua Li suddenly had the urge to find a crack in the ground to get into: It's too embarrassing, Chen Geng's questions can't be answered by herself.
"Then let me tell you about it," Chen Geng said gently: "The founder of the Hilton Hotel is named Conrad Hilton, he was born in San Antonio, New Mexico, USA in 1887, and in 1907, when Mr. Conrad Hilton was 20 years old, he opened his first hotel, which was a very small family hotel.
You should have written in your history textbook that in 1907 there was an economic crisis in the United States, but Conrad Hilton was lucky, he not only successfully survived the economic crisis, but also ushered in a period of vigorous development after the economic crisis, and it was at this time that he met the first professional manager of the Hilton Hotel, that is, the first manager you call the first manager: George Burton. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Geng paused slightly and looked at the girl: "So here I have to correct you one point: Mr. Conrad Hilton, the owner of the Hilton Hotel at that time, was not yet 30 years old, he was not an old man, and the Hilton Hotel at this time was not called the Hilton Hotel, until 1925, that is, when Mr. Conrad Hilton was 38 years old, he finally had the first five-star hotel named after him, that is, the Dallas Hilton Hotel.
But at this time, there was no transatlantic flight in the world, and all transatlantic exchanges had to be carried out by steamship, so Mr. George Burton, who had died in 1916, had no chance to be the general manager of the Hilton Hotel in Dallas, let alone get this ticket.
As a further aside, if I'm not mistaken, the world's first officially operational transatlantic civil air route only began in 1946. ”
Gorgeous and instantly red like a monkey's buttocks, she didn't expect that there were so many and such big loopholes in the story she told, and for a while, she was ashamed.
Compared with the shame of wanting to find a crack in the ground to get in, the teachers of the attached middle school and Ding Ruoyan were in a much happier mood: there is no doubt that if this story has so many loopholes, then the story itself is already very untrustworthy.
Chen Geng didn't want to embarrass a little girl, but there were some things he had to say: "In addition, let me say one more thing, just now this classmate said that the relationship between people in the West is much better than in Huaxia, I just said that I don't agree with it very much, there are good people everywhere in this world, I have been helped by many people in the United States and Europe, and I have also been treated indifferently, I believe that such a situation also exists in Huaxia, you have been treated by some people, When some things are treated indifferently, but you have also felt the warm care from strangers, it is obviously wrong to generalize, you can't think that they are all good because you see the advantages of other countries, you can't think that you see some shortcomings in your own country and think that your country is all bad, just like we can't think that you are a bad boy because you stole the tomatoes grown by Grandma Wang's house next door when you were a child, and ignore that in fact, you often cross the road with Grandma Wang. It's the same as helping Grandma Wang carry things, right?"
The crowd burst into laughter!
Originally, everyone thought that Chen Geng would reprimand this girl fiercely, but they didn't expect that although his board was raised high, it only fell down lightly in the end.
Who doesn't want to be treated gently?
At this moment, not only did the students look at Chen Geng's eyes much more cordially, but even the teachers on the scene looked at Chen Geng's eyes with great admiration.
The corners of Ding Ruoyan's mouth curled, and she suddenly raised her hand high: "Mr. Chen, although the stock market of that classmate just now is full of loopholes, it is also an encouraging chicken soup for the soul, do you think this kind of chicken soup for the soul is useless?"
Principal Wan used great perseverance to keep his mouth open: What is this girl doing? Isn't she on good terms with Chen Geng? Why is she dismantling Chen Geng at this time?
This girl, what kind of mess is it for me? If it weren't for such a person, Chen Geng really wanted to knock her out of the head!
But at this time, I can only endure it, not only can I endure it, but I also have to pretend that I don't know this girl: "Before answering your question, this classmate, can you answer me a question first?"
You say. ”
"Why do we have to drink chicken broth? Tell me, who ate the chicken in it?"
Who ate the chicken inside?
Hearing Chen Geng's words, the teacher and students were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter: Yes, why can we only drink chicken soup, why can't we eat chicken?
