Chapter 822: It's lively

In the Capital Club on the 50th floor of the Capital Tower.

Bian Xuedao put down the menu, looked at the deep groove in the V-neck of Meng Jingyao's dress, and said, "When your girlfriend changes her name to Lucy, how can you send her a song "Bodhisattva Man"?"

Meng Jingyao's English name is Sabrina, and many more people know her English name than her Chinese name.

Bian Xuedao said this, obviously implying that the two were not all the way. The Tao is not the same, after eating this meal, you will be your Lucy, and I will write my "Bodhisattva Man".

Meng Jingyao was not angry, straightened her chest and said, "How do you know that Lucy must not like "Bodhisattva Man"?"

Bian Xuedao didn't answer, and beckoned the waiter to come and order.

Both of them ordered French food.

Blanquette-de-Veau and Sole-Meunière. Meng Jingyao's Hachis-Parmentier (mashed potatoes) and Quiche-Lorraine.

After ordering, Meng Jingyao asked Bian Xuedao: "You have a winery in France, your French should be good, right?"

Bian Xuedao shook his head and said: "My language talent is relatively average, and I haven't stayed in France for long, and I can only speak more than 30 words of the most commonly used French. ”

Meng Jingyao said, "You should know what au–secours mean, right?"

"au–secours?" said Bian Xuedao, repeating him, "it means to save lives." ”

Meng Jingyao said with a smile in her eyes: "I heard a joke before, in France, if someone accidentally falls into the water and shouts 'help' in English, they will definitely not be rescued, and the French only know 'au-secours' (help) in French." ”

Bian Xuedao asked, "Is this a joke?"

Meng Jingyao said: "Before I went to France, I always thought it was just a joke, but after I arrived in France, I deeply understood that it was not a joke. Once, I was in Paris with a friend from the United States to a travel agency to check in for a tour, and my friend spoke English to the hostess, who spoke French, and I had to translate for my friend. But through the expression of the reception lady, you can see that she understands English, but she just doesn't speak. The French have an extraordinary love and attachment to their native language, and if you've ever been to France, you'll feel the same way. ”

There is no doubt that Meng Jingyao is a smart woman.

After Bian Xuedao bluntly expressed the meaning of "not a person all the way", she quickly found a common topic to ease the atmosphere - Bian Xuedao had been to France, and he had a winery in France, so Meng Jingyao talked about a topic related to both France and language.

Bian Xuedao was brought into the topic by Meng Jingyao, he said: "When I went to France for the first time, I asked for directions in English on the street, and I couldn't understand it at all. There are a few extremes, listen to me speak English, simply ignore it, turn around and leave. Later, I participated in the Cannes Film Festival, and in the Palais des Festivals, the venue of the Cannes Film Festival, there were no English guides in the major exhibition halls, only French, and the subtitles of the films were all in French. In France, public transport facilities and public places are not marked with English, and it is really difficult for the waiters to understand English but do not want to speak English, and not to know French. ”

"There's a French phrase called 'Exception-Francaise,' which says just that. The French adhere to one principle – in France, you have to speak French. In 1992, the French parliament enshrined 'French as the official language of France' in the French Constitution. In 1994, France introduced a new law stipulating that all slogans and billboards in public places must be written in French, and if the original language is in other languages, it must also be translated into French, and the French alphabet must not be smaller than the original text. The Immigration Act, as amended later, stipulates that anyone applying for French citizenship must be able to speak French. France also stipulates that foreign languages are not allowed to be spoken at any international conference held on French soil. Any goods, including imported goods, sold in France, must be labelled or described in French, otherwise it is illegal and must not be sold. The French have always been proud of their language, and they regard the speaking of French as a sign of love for France, and the speaking of French has become a national cultural complex of the French. ”

The dish is coming.

Bian Xuedao wiped his hands with a towel and asked Meng Jingyao: "How do you know so much about France?"

Meng Jingyao and the other waiters poured wine for the two and left, looked at the wine glass in front of them and said, "I have a French boyfriend." ”

"Oh......"

Bian Xuedao said "oh", didn't say anything, and lowered his head to eat.

The scene fell silent.

While learning to eat with his head bored, he didn't look up much at all.

Meng Jingyao, who was sitting opposite him, was eating in small bites, her eyes wandering over Bian Xuedao.

After eating for a while, Meng Jingyao picked up the wine glass and said to the side, "Take a sip." ”

Bian Xuedao picked up the wine glass, touched the glass with Meng Jingyao in the air, drank a big sip of wine, still didn't speak, lowered his head and continued to eat.

Meng Jingyao put down her wine glass and said, "You really don't worry about offending people?"

That's an interesting statement!

Meng Jingyao's "offending people" may refer to Bian Xuedao's words and deeds at the "exchange meeting" this morning, or it may refer to Bian Xuedao's "rudeness" that he does not understand the customs now.

Sure enough, this sentence worked.

Bian Xuedao put down the knife and fork in his hand, and looked at Meng Jingyao with burning eyes: "Offend people, offend whom?"

Meng Jingyao said: "The speakers, and the organizers. ”

Bian Xuedao showed a disapproving expression on his face: "Obviously they should speak Chinese at the meeting, they just speak English, the English speech is written in average, the pronunciation is not standard, people know nothing about it, it wastes my time in the morning, and they offend me first if they want to offend." Besides, I have no interest in listening to those people's English shows, and I am not obligated to play a round for them. I'm just telling the truth, and if it's offended, I'm sorry, and I won't give face next time. ”

Meng Jingyao blinked her eyes and said slyly: "Actually, the five people who spoke were just ordinary scholars, weak in strength, and there was no threat to you, so you took them under the knife." ”

Bian Xuedao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't deny it." But I don't think I've done anything wrong, and at most five of them are unlucky. ”

Meng Jingyao said: "You have always been so blunt in doing things?"

Bian Xuedao said: "It's not blunt, it's flexible when it's time to be flexible, and it's just insistent when it's time to insist." ”

Meng Jingyao asked, "When will you be more flexible?"

Bian Xuedao smiled and said, "When you need to be flexible." ”

At the end of the meal, Meng Jingyao suddenly asked Bian Xuedao, "Do you know why I want to see you?"

Bian Xuedao shook his head.

Meng Jingyao's eyes flashed and said, "Because I heard that you are the reincarnation of a celestial being." ”

Bian Xuedao listened to it, and scolded in his heart: Zhu Zhichun, who has a big mouth, will say everything when he sees his sister-in-law.

……………………

The second day of the "exchange meeting".

More than 30 domestic media reported on the incident of "Bian Xuedao refusing to comment" at the "exchange meeting" of Huaqing University.

More than 20 newspapers distributed photos of more than 3,000 listeners who raised their hands to indicate that they did not understand.

In addition, more than 10 media outlets distributed opinion pieces on the same day, explaining the views of the newspapers.

Among all the media, the most vigorous is a website, and the title of their report is - "Youdao Group Chairman Bian Xuedao Said: Chinese is the Most Beautiful, Chinese the Most Awesome!"

Among all the reports, this website has the highest reprint rate because the headline is strong enough.

In just one morning, I searched the Internet casually, and dozens of "Chinese is the most beautiful, Chinese is the most awesome!"

It's lively......
