This is an independent private room with an area of about 20 square meters, with a six-seat dining table in the center, decorated in retro Chinese style, with white, gray and black as the main colors, with white peony as the theme, a number of white peony Chinese paintings hanging on the wall, and white peony patterns are printed on the tableware, napkins, and tablecloths.

The whole private room looks very elegant and beautiful, antique.

Hui invited Mr. Wen to take a seat on the main seat and then sat to his right. Looking around the private room, he thought of a very important question and asked, "Mr. Wen, I just thought of a question, I don't know if it's convenient to ask?"

"Excuse me!"

"You learned Western manners and manners in England and France, but we ...... in China."

Mr. Wen nodded with admiration in his eyes, smiled and said, "Very good! You are one of the few people who can think of this question so quickly."

First of all, as Chinese, as a personal image consultant practicing in China, in addition to learning and mastering Western etiquette and manners, we also have to study, learn and master Chinese etiquette and manners ourselves, such as Chinese food etiquette, Chinese wine etiquette, Chinese tea ceremony etiquette, etc. If it is a female consultant, such as my wife, she has to study, learn and master the etiquette of cheongsam. However, comparatively speaking, there is very little content in Chinese etiquette. We have a good foundation in Western etiquette and manners, and the two are fundamentally the same, so it is relatively easy for us to study, learn and master.

Secondly, as a Chinese, I also feel helpless, but this is a reality that we have to accept. In today's world, especially in the workplace and in the shopping mall, Western etiquette is absolutely dominant.

Modern business culture and civilization originated in the West, and then swept the world, and Western etiquette also swept the world. We have to admit that Western etiquette has long been globalized, has profoundly influenced and changed all people in the world, and has long become the standard.

The situation is the same in China, where etiquette, especially in the workplace and shopping malls, has largely become Westernized.

Excuse me, what do most men wear when attending an important meeting or banquet?"

"Suits. As soon as Xu Xincheng finished speaking, he immediately realized that the word "west" in "suit" was enough to explain the problem.

"What do you do when you meet, especially when you first meet?"

"Shake hands and say hello. ”

"Handshakes, wearing suits, evening dresses, etc., are all important symbols of Western etiquette. Excuse me, isn't this the case in the workplace and in the shopping malls in China, in the vast majority of cases?"

"Yes. Xu Xincheng said helplessly.

"However, in China, although Western etiquette is dominant, Chinese etiquette still has a place.

As I said earlier, there are also Chinese food etiquette, Chinese wine etiquette, Chinese tea ceremony etiquette, etc., all of which are very Chinese characteristics. Personally, I am very fond of Chinese tea ceremony etiquette and appreciate those who serve Chinese tea to guests, especially foreign guests, in their own offices. Among these people, the Chaoshan people are the most. In terms of spreading the culture of the Chinese tea ceremony, Chaoshan merchants can be said to have made great contributions. ”

Hearing this, Xu Xincheng immediately thought of General Manager Li, and thought of his appearance when he was concentrating on Chaoshan Kung Fu tea, and then he immediately made a decision in his heart, after moving to the New Era Industrial Park, he would place a tea table in his office to entertain visiting guests, especially foreign guests. He had thought about it before, but he had never made up his mind, and Mr. Wen's words prompted him to make a decision at once.

He said a little excitedly: "General Manager Li of our company is a Chaoshan person, he has a tea table in the office, he must drink tea every day, when there are guests visiting, whether it is a Chinese or a foreign guest, will be entertained with Chaoshan Kung Fu tea." When we move to the New Era Industrial Park, I will also set up a tea table in my office and serve Chinese tea to foreign guests. ”

Mr. Wen praised with a smile on his face, "Very good! ”

"Welcome, please instruct me on tea art and etiquette at that time. ”

"No problem. It's already in my coaching and training plan. Mr. Wen paused and asked, "By the way, the one you just talked about is the general manager of Zhongmei Xinfei Company, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Since I am talking about him, then I will mention by the way, according to the arrangement of Chairman Lucy, I will also become his personal image consultant to help him improve his personal image. ”

"That's really great!" Xu Xincheng said happily: "At the dinner last night, he was also there, and tonight, he will also come, I can introduce you to you." ”

Mr. Wen's eyes flashed with a wise light, and he said, "At that time, you can point out for me which is General Manager Li from afar." ”

Of course, Xu Xincheng understood his intentions, he wanted to observe him in secret, so he immediately replied: "Understood! ”

Looking at the private room in front of him filled with a strong retro Chinese style, Xu Xincheng suddenly had an idea and said, "Mr. Wen, I have an idea and want to ask for your advice." ”

"Please!"

"In the future, when I represent Sino-US Xinfei Company to attend some important occasions, especially the kind of occasions where foreign guests are present, I want to wear a modern version of the tunic suit. Do you think it's appropriate, and does it look a little abrupt?"

Just now, Xu Xincheng was stimulated by Mr. Wen's words, why do you have to wear a suit? As a Chinese, can't you wear your own clothes and wear clothes rich in Chinese style?

Mr. Wen smiled with satisfaction and said meaningfully: "The key to whether it is suitable or not is abrupt is you. ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Xincheng didn't understand what he meant, and asked puzzled.

"It's all about who you are and where you stand. If, on that occasion, you are just a dispensable little person, then dressing differently will make others think that you are very obtrusive and out of place. However, if you are a big person, or even the protagonist of the whole audience, then even if there are thousands of people in the audience, thousands of people are wearing suits, and you are the only one wearing a tunic suit, then your dress will not only not make others feel abrupt, but will make others think that you are an extraordinary person. ”

Xu Xincheng's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized, yes, what Mr. Wen said is too right! The key lies in himself.

The LOGO of Zhongmei Xinfei Company is an artistic Chinese dragon, a soaring Chinese dragon, and when the time comes, if the LOGO is embroidered on the Zhongshan suit with gold or silver thread, it must be very eye-catching. It can not only promote the company, but also promote Chinese culture, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Xu Xincheng realized that his reverie was a little too far, and even if he really wanted to do this, he had to wait until he was no longer a "dispensable little person".

At this moment, let's go back to the present!
