Doctor Town, Seaton Grand Hotel.
A black Cadillac stopped at the door of the hotel, and a young Chinese woman stepped down from the back of the car, looked up at the Seaton Hotel, and said in surprise: "That Mr. Zhou, staying in the hotel." ”
"Yes. Robert also stepped out of the car and made a gesture of please.
This Chinese woman is the tutor invited by Zhou Qiang, Fang Shaoping's daughter, Fang Xinyan.
Fang Xinyan was stunned for a moment, she only knew that her employer lived nearby, and this neighborhood happened to be a Chinese community, not far from where she lived, but she didn't expect that her employer would live in a hotel, and she felt a little strange in her heart.
"Miss Fang, please. Robert said.
"Mr. Robert, I'm a little curious, why did the gentleman who wanted to ask me to be my English tutor make an appointment at the hotel, and he didn't have a house in Dr. Town?" asked Fang Xinyan.
"Yes, our boss, just came to Bo Dun, has been ready to buy a house, but has not found a suitable one, he does not understand English, feel that it is not very convenient, just want to learn some commonly used spoken language, communication is also convenient. Robert said.
"I see. Fang Xinyan nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”
Under Robert's guidance, Fang Xinyan came to a VIP suite, and there were two men standing at the door, both in black clothes and black pants, like the bodyguards in the movie, and asked curiously: "Who is this Mr. Zhou?"
"Merchant. Robert said.
"Ordinary businessmen are reluctant to hire bodyguards. Fang Xinyan said.
"Mr. Zhou, he is relatively wealthy among businessmen. Robert said.
"I see. Fang Xinyan responded.
The two knocked on the door and entered the room, and after passing the entrance, they saw three people in the living room, Zhou Qiang was sitting on the sofa, Qin Yun was standing aside, Xu Ruyun was cleaning up, Zhou Qiang didn't like it very much, and asked the strange waiter to clean up.
"Dong Chou, this is Miss Fang Xinyan from Harvard College. Robert said.
Zhou Qiang looked at the other party and said with a smile: "Miss Fang, please take a seat." ”
Xu Ruyun looked at Fang Xinyan with a pair of beautiful eyes, flattened her small mouth, and said, "Dong Zhou, I'll go to Assistant Fang's side to have a look." ”
"Go ahead, I don't want to eat Western food, let's cook and eat at noon. Zhou Qiang said.
"Got it. Xu Ruyun nodded, and then left the room.
"Miss Fang, what do you want to drink?" Qin Yun asked.
"Coffee will do. Fang Xinyan said.
Fang Xinyan is also eighteen or nineteen years old, quite tall, very delicate, just a little hooked nose, can only be regarded as a middle-class appearance, far from a big beauty like Xu Ruyun, Zhou Qiang said secretly, the aesthetics of the Chinese people, is it really?
Listening to Robert, Fang Xinyan is very beautiful, Xu Ruyun is still interested, she deliberately stayed today, wanting to see the beautiful female tutor in Robert's mouth, after reading it, she felt that she was not a threat to herself, so she left easily.
"How long has Miss Fang been here?" asked Zhou Qiang.
"I only came here last year. Fang Xinyan said.
"Then where did you learn your English?" Zhou Qiang asked.
"Since middle school, I have been in a foreign language school, there are foreign teachers in the school, and I will attend summer camps abroad every year, and I don't have any problems speaking, if you don't believe me, Mr. Robert is here, and he can test me. Fang Xinyan said.
"Dong Chou, Miss Fang's foreign language is very standard, and it is still a standard American accent. Robert said.
"I heard that Miss Fang charges by the hour?" asked Zhou Qiang.
"Yes, I get 50 meters an hour. Fang Xinyan said.
"Then it's calculated as two hours a day, three days a week, and I pay one month's tuition first. Zhou Qiang said.
"Mr. Zhou, it's okay to count one day. Fang Xinyan said.
"It's more convenient to pay monthly. Zhou Qiang said.
"How was it arranged for three days a week?" Fang Xinyan asked.
"It's simple, I'll ask the assistant to make an appointment with you in advance, and try to match each other's time. Zhou Qiang said.
“OK。 Fang Xinyan said.
Qin Yun put the coffee cup in front of Fang Xinyan, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Qiang and said, "Come here, listen here." ”
"Brother Qiang, I don't talk about business, so I don't need to learn. Qin Yun scratched his head.
"You Mr. Liu, you have already started to learn English on your own, and you can talk to Robert, so you have to keep up with him. Zhou Qiang said.
Qin Yun showed a touch of bitterness, hesitated, but sat down, Zhou Qiang and Liu Hui both began to learn English, if he said that he didn't learn, it wouldn't be looking for excitement.
Zhou Qiang's requirements for learning English are very simple, do not learn grammar, do not ask to write, as long as you can speak some simple English, do some simple communication, such learning difficulty, will be greatly reduced.
Zhou Qiang's spoken language still has some foundation, of course, this is not due to the school, the oral language practiced in the school has long been returned to the teacher, but when he just graduated a few years, when he was still a sling, after getting off work, he didn't have a girlfriend, and he couldn't afford to go out to play, so he hid in the rental room and watched American dramas, and slowly practiced his speaking and listening.
With this foundation, it will be much more convenient for Zhou Qiang to learn again, the commonly used language is only a hundred sentences, learn a few sentences a day, you can learn it in two months, no matter how esoteric, Zhou Qiang is too lazy to study, anyway, there is no shortage of translators around him, if it is difficult, someone will naturally help him translate.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Qiang, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"You look fantastic. ”
"It was a pleasure to chat with you. ”
"You can contact my lawyer. ”
……
Within two hours, Zhou Qiang only learned seven sentences, although there were not many sentences, but Zhou Qiang learned very seriously, Fang Xinyan would read the pronunciation of each word to Zhou Qiang repeatedly, and help her correct it.
Zhou Qiang also listened carefully, not only to be able to speak himself, but also to be able to listen to others, so that they could communicate with each other simply.
Two hours passed quickly, Fang Xinyan looked at her watch and said, "Mr. Zhou, let's get here first today." ”
"Miss Fang has worked hard. Zhou Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, he hadn't learned anything for a long time, and he was really struggling.
"Dong Zhou, take the liberty of asking, what kind of business are you doing?" Fang Xinyan said.
"Real estate. ”
"Listen to your accent, it seems like a northerner. Fang Xinyan asked.
"Jizhou's. ”
"Are you developing real estate in Jizhou?" asked Fang Xinyan.
"I used to do it there, but Jizhou has no development potential, so I went to the south. Zhou Qiang said.
"Then which city are you developing real estate in now?" Fang Xinyan said.
"Magic City. Zhou Qiang said.
"That's a coincidence, I'm also from Modu. Fang Xinyan said.
"Hehe, it's quite a coincidence. Zhou Qiang said with a smile.
"Okay, then it's not early today, I'll go back today. Fang Xinyan said.
"Qin Yun, send Miss Fang. Zhou Qiang said.
"Miss Fang, please. Qin Yun made a gesture of invitation and took Fang Xinyan out of the room.
It didn't take long for Qin Yun to walk back.
"Sent away. Zhou Qiang asked.
"I watched her get into the car. Qin Yun replied and asked, "Brother Qiang, how do I think that when this Miss Fang was leaving, it seemed that she was tricking your words." ”
"Fang Shaoping's position, I don't know how many people want to tie up, Fang Xinyan is estimated to have been educated and experienced since she was a child, so it's not strange to be suspicious. Zhou Qiang said.
"In this way, you are deliberately putting pressure on Fang Shaoping through her. Qin Yun guessed.
"People want to save face, this kind of thing, it's better to be tactful, there is no need to provoke the other party. Zhou Qiang said with a smile.
Qin Yun nodded, he could probably understand what Zhou Qiang meant, if Zhou Qiang called Fang Shaoping directly, the threat would be too obvious, it would be equivalent to tearing his face, and it would be difficult to have room for looping.
But if Fang Xinyan herself noticed that Zhou Qiang was approaching purposefully, and she told Fang Shaoping, it was equivalent to no head-on conflict between them, everyone was a person with identity and status, and there was still the possibility of reconciliation.
Zhou Qiang is not a bad person, he still wants to go back to the magic capital to do business, teach Fang Shaoping a lesson, just take a breath; if you really want to make the fish die, it will not benefit anyone.
Fang Shaoping can achieve that position, he should also know how to weigh the pros and cons, and will make the right choice......
