Chapter 116: The Conspiracy Behind the Family Banquet

Carol Bouquet is known as one of the four beauties of France, is the global spokesperson of Chanel's No. 5 perfume, known for her delicate face and cold temperament, Jennifer's face is only four or five points similar to her, but her temperament is seven or eight similar, all of which belong to the cold and glamorous type, giving people an unapproachable feeling.

This kind of aura will be like a fish in water in the European and American business circles or fashion circles, but it is incompatible with the ordinary life of Chinese, and Du Cunzhi and Du Chunhua do not know English, so Du Qiu felt that it was a mistake to take Jennifer home for dinner, and the scene must be very embarrassing and boring, but I didn't expect the situation to be the opposite.

Jennifer is very good at grasping the psychology of Chinese, and vividly shows the surprise, like, surprise and unadaptability of foreigners eating Chinese food, and the strange tone of "What is this?", "delicious", "so spicy" and "Cheers", not only made Lin Jinyan's small chopsticks fall several times, but even Du Cunzhi was full of smiles, the dishes originally prepared were enough, and he also ordered Du Qiu to make two more specialty dishes.

"Foreigners like to eat sweets, you go to make a pineapple coo pork, I just bought a pineapple in the morning, it's very fresh, and the tamagoyaki you learned in Dongying tastes good, make a few. ”

Du Qiu had no choice but to put down his chopsticks to cook, Du Chunhua saw the opportunity, went into the kitchen in the name of helping, and teased while helping to clean up the pineapples: "Little brother, it's okay, you actually kidnapped such a beautiful girl back, look at our dad." ”

"You think too much, she and I are just business partners, not even friends in private. ”

"Oh yes!!!"

Du Qiu saw that his mother didn't believe it at all, and the gossip fire in his eyes was about to burn to his eyebrows, so he had to hold the mentality of a dead friend who is not a dead poor man, and broke the news: "Among the fashion magazines I brought back from the United States last time, there was a Japanese model on the cover, called Jenny Shimizu, remember?"

"Remember, that model's name, appearance, and temperament are very special, and it's hard to forget, what's wrong?"

"Jennifer and she used to be a couple of lovers, but now they have broken up, so they came to Cloud City to relax. ”

"Aren't they both women?" Du Chunhua thought more traditionally, and didn't react at first, but soon understood, turned his head and secretly glanced at Jennifer, and whispered, "She's gay?"

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I don't know and I don't care. ”

Du Chunhua was a little incredulous, didn't ask anything more, and after packing up the pineapple, she reminded very openly: "No matter who you fall in love with, as long as the person you like it, outsiders are not qualified to make irresponsible comments." Since she came to Cloud City to relax, she said that she treats you as a friend, don't look like you are rejecting people thousands of miles away, and spend more time with others. ”

"I took her home and cooked it myself, where did I refuse people thousands of miles away?"

Du Chunhua sneered, patted him on the back, and teased: "You smile more, talk more, don't just know the translation with a straight face, like a machine, without human taste." ”

"I know, I know, you hurry up and go out to accompany the guests, I'm going to stir-fry in oil." ”

Lin Jinyan had a harder summer vacation than other children, not only to learn piano with Yin Caihong, but also to learn calligraphy with Du Cunzhi, and to learn English with Jiang Danfeng, fortunately, several teachers are very good at teaching, edutainment, follow the good path, children's curiosity and desire to perform are also heavier, can not distinguish the difference between learning and games, not only did not resist, but enjoyed it, learned a lot of simple knowledge.

When Du Qiu made pineapple and walked out of the kitchen, Lin Jinyan was kneeling on a chair, pointing to a part of a crab with small chopsticks, and using a few English words he knew to help Du Chunhua translate: "This, eat, this, don't eat." ”

"Okay, I see, I see, like this, right?"

Du Qiu saw that Jennifer had no cold style at all, as gentle and amiable as a kindergarten teacher, and couldn't help but feel that the more he lived, the more boring he became, when he was a child, everyone loved him, from a 3-year-old little sister to a 70-year-old lady, but when he grew up, he was tired of ghosts, and he had a bad reputation in the female circle of friends, and he fell in love several times and failed.

"Autumn, your nephew is smart and cute, just like Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone. ”

"He's very smart. Du Qiu rubbed Lin Jinyan's little head, put the Gu Yu meat in front of her, and said, "This should be one of the Chinese dishes that you Americans are most familiar with, and it is as famous as Zuo Zongtang chicken, try it." ”

"Oh my God! It's actually Gu Yu Pork, my favorite Chinese food, how can you cook it?" Jennifer didn't know how to use chopsticks, took a spoon and tasted a piece of meat, and then praised with a satisfied face: "Qiu, you are a genius chef, this is the best Gu Yu meat I have ever tasted, it is so delicious." Delicious. ”

The last two words were said in Chinese, and Du Cunzhi greeted with a smile when he heard this: "If it's delicious, eat more, eat more." ”

"Qiu, you have surprised me so much, I have not only begun to like you, but even begun to fall in love with you. ”

Du Chunhua couldn't understand the whole paragraph of English, but she could understand the words "like" and "love", she opened her brain, quietly poked Du Qiu under the table, and asked, "Did you snatch love from the knife, so she broke up with that model?"

"Sister, I'm not transgender, how can I snatch love with a knife. ”

"Go!"

Jennifer really likes the plate of pineapple pork, she ate half of it alone, and after eating and drinking, Du Qiu made a cup of green tea, beckoned her to go to the living room to rest, and joked: "Jennifer, you can go and win the Oscar for Best Actress, I don't believe you haven't eaten Chinese food in the United States." ”

"Chinese food in the United States tastes different from your Chinese food, and I really ate those dishes for the first time. Jennifer rubbed her lower abdomen and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so much food at lunch, and I'm going to have to work out in the hotel for two more hours at night." ”

"You're in good shape, it's okay to indulge once in a while, if you have to count even a meal, then life is too boring. ”

"Maybe you're right, but I prefer to stay in shape. Jennifer didn't argue with him, pointed to a sketch hanging on the wall, and asked, "Did you draw that?"

"No, a friend of mine drew it. ”

That sketch is a gift from Su Wenxiu on Lin Jinyan's 5th birthday, she is quite talented in art, not only the facial features are very similar, but also the purity and agility in the children's eyes are expressed, it looks innocent and childlike, Du Chunhua likes it very much, and specially found someone to frame it and hang it in the living room.

"It's beautiful, can you ask your friend to draw a picture for me?"

"She's very busy right now, and she's on a business trip to Pujiang. ”

"That's a shame. Jennifer seemed to be very interested in Chinese culture, walked to the corridor between the living room and the bedroom with a teacup, looked at the three calligraphy banners hanging on the wall, and asked, "I heard that your calligraphy is very good, are these written by you?"

"Only the one on the left was written by me, and the other two were written by my dad and my sister. ”

Jennifer admired them in turn, then pointed to the middle one and said, "Your sister wrote the best, stretched, elegant, orderly, like a ballet performance." ”

Yo, this girl has a good eye......

Du Chunhua specializes in small letters, likes the ancient and natural style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, mellow and graceful, and has insisted on copying the regular script works of Zhong Xuan, Mrs. Wei, Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and others for many years.

"If you like it, I'll ask my sister to write one for you. ”

"Is that okay? That's great. ”

Since Lin Jinyan was born, Du Chunhua has not practiced calligraphy very carefully, in recent months, the company's business is busy, only on weekends to have time to practice, on skills and level, not only far inferior to Du Cunzhi, even compared to the rapid progress of Du Qiu, I heard that Jennifer thinks her words are the best-looking, happy like a flower, immediately interested in finding out the pen and ink, on a blank folding fan wrote a paragraph in the "Luo Shen Fu".

"It turns out that Chinese characters are written like this, it's amazing. Jennifer waited for the ink to dry, then carefully picked up the folding fan and asked, "What is written?"

"More than 1,700 years ago, there was a writer named Cao Zhi in China who wrote an essay for the lover of his dreams, and these are two of the sentences. Du Qiu felt that the text was in vain, so he only introduced the background, and then translated: "The meaning of these two sentences is that from a distance, you are as gorgeous as the rising sun in the clouds, and from a close distance, you are as beautiful as a lotus blooming in the clear water." ”

"Thank you, I love it. Jennifer thanked her in blunt Chinese, took off the platinum pendant hanging around her neck after putting away the folding fan, and said to Du Chunhua: "This is what I bought at the Tiffany flagship store in New York before I came to China, and you gave me the most characteristic gift of Chinese culture, and I will give it to you, because Tiffany is part of American culture." ”

Tiffany & Co. is one of the oldest and most famous luxury brands in the United States, and the platinum pendant with diamonds is worth a lot of money, far more valuable than a folding fan, but Du Chunhua is now a sister with a net worth of tens of millions, and her vision is much higher.

"It's almost time, let's go. ”

Du Qiu's arrangement in the afternoon was relatively relaxed, at 2 o'clock went to Sanjiang University to communicate with netizens, and awarded prizes to some activities, Jennifer also wanted to go and see, before leaving, she hugged Du Chunhua and said: "Thank you for giving me a perfect lunch, your home is very warm, I envy it." ”

"It's okay, when you are in Cloud City, you can come over every day, I will ask my little brother to cook for you, he will cook a lot of delicious food." ”

"That's great. ”

On the way to Sanjiang University, Du Qiu said bluntly: "Jennifer, my family never interferes in my business decisions, and you don't have to waste time on them. ”

"I love your family, they are so nice to me and make me feel warm, and my parents have never given me that feeling. Jennifer looked sideways at Du Qiu and said, "You prefer to work with friends for a long time and develop together, don't you?"

"Who told you?"

"There is a proverb in the United States that says that when you look at your friends, you know your people. Jennifer regained her cold appearance and analyzed: "Dylan is not a very good business partner, but you have been tolerating him, have a good relationship with his family, and hire a lot of his classmates, haven't you?"

Chen Dayou likes to listen to Bob Dylan's songs, so he chose the English name Dylan, and Du Qiu defended it: "He has a keen business sense and is decisive, which is very helpful to me." ”

"I don't deny Dylan's ability, but he is too, and his methods are very shoddy, I must remind you that the sexual harassment laws in the United States are stricter than in China, and there are many women and lawyers who make money from this kind of lawsuit, and sooner or later he will cause a scandal and damage the company's image. ”

However, there has never been a case of sexual harassment in China, and there are a mountain of cases in the United States......

If Chen Dayou's unspoken rule of Dai Yi happened in the United States, it is estimated that he would have been ruined long ago......

"What you did in the break room in the morning isn't sexual harassment?"

"No, I just imitated the plot of "True Lies" and danced a hot dance, and if you touch me, it's considered sexual harassment. ”

This double standard is really slippery......
