“…… I'm a man of integrity!" Thomas hesitated for a long time at Hong Tao's question, and only held back one sentence.

"Me too...... You are cheating, I ...... "Hong Tao is so angry, if you don't say that your peers are enemies, you have the heart to rush over and beat up when you meet someone with a face thickness similar to your own."

"Claire, it's time for our guests to have a good meal, how about talking about it at dinner?" But it couldn't be beaten, Dan and Jiang Zhuyi went downstairs, interrupting the conversation between the two people, so that Hong Tao couldn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, I'll go drive, and you guys will come out later. Thomas ran faster than a rabbit, and in a blink of an eye he was at the door. Chatting with Hong Tao is also a chore for him, and the reason is estimated to be the same as Hong Tao, and his peers are enemies.

"Isn't his name Thomas, why does Dan call Claire, could it be a pseudonym?" At the critical moment, you can see who kisses whom, although Jiang Zhuyi also knows Thomas, it is said that Thomas also specially entertained her when she went to Shenzhen on a business trip, but she still stood firmly on Hong Tao's side, and found any small problems will find a way to figure it out, for fear of being pitted.

"Kruger's original meaning is smart, Claire is a smart English pronunciation, probably a nickname. Hong Tao has no doubts about Thomas's identity, as for the question of names, most Europeans and Americans have more than one name, some even have seven or eight, and people with different relationships use different names, which is very messy.

"Ms. Dan, your dress is so beautiful with these shoes, it has a different temperament. But Jiang Zhuyi's question made Hong Tao suddenly have an idea. Dan and Thomas must have an unusual relationship, and they both have nicknames.

Since we can't get any personal privacy from Thomas, can we inquire from her side? It is very likely! If you want to inquire about these questions, you must not ask them directly, you must inadvertently involve them in the form of small talk, and if you want to make small talk, you must first get closer to the relationship between the two parties.

How do you get closer? There are many ways to praise Western women, but when you meet older, more highly educated women, you can't fool around at will. It's useless to be young, pretty, or anything like that, and it's too exaggerated to make the other party disgusted.

The most effective word is to be different, the more educated a Western woman is, the more independent she is, and you say to an old woman in her fifties that she is young and beautiful, rather than that they have characteristics. As for what the characteristics are, there is no need to go into details, it is just a compliment, and usually no one asks about it.

"Jiang is even more unique, she showed me a picture of her time in a fighting match just upstairs. To be able to compete with a man and win an award is a great achievement and you should be proud of her. ”

Hong Tao's sycophants seemed to be in the right place, although Dan was not happy, there was a smile on his face. But she didn't directly praise Hong Tao himself, but praised Jiang Zhuyi. This is also a common etiquette in high society, and complimenting each other's female companions is more subtle and polite.

"I taught it, but I'm actually an Asian wrestler, and I practice a skill called judo...... Similar to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The words were connected, and Hong Tao immediately came to his senses, and began to talk to Dan about his skills while walking towards the garage, and even threw Jiang Zhuyi aside.

Foreigners are very different from Chinese habits, if we have guests at home, it is still easy not to come, we must find a decent big restaurant, can enter the private room without sitting in the seat, the scene must be sufficient.

Foreigners, especially Europeans and Americans, often choose a small restaurant that they are familiar with, and the more casual they are, the closer they have a relationship with the guests. If he can take you to a lot of restaurants where acquaintances and friends hang out, it means that he thinks you're also his friend, in our words, his own people.

Thomas was treated at a restaurant not far from the port, and the restaurant called The Galley overlooked the sea from the door.

It means the battleship restaurant, and Hong Tao probably knows what style this restaurant is before he even enters the house. The restaurant on the battleship, don't ask, it must be nostalgic style, nostalgic for the era of sail battleships.

In fact, this restaurant has been nostalgic to the bones, when Hong Tao went in, it was full, and when he looked at it, he thought it was a sunset red tour group, and no one including the waiters was under forty years old, an old man and an old lady. A few of them are wearing captains' soft hats, have you really been to sea?

Hong Tao guessed wrong this time, these people basically have sea experience, or their ancestors have held high-ranking positions on ships. Another feature is that they are all of Dutch descent, and they all know each other very well, in our words, they know each other.

This can be seen in the way they greet Thomas, some are surprised, some are ecstatic, some are excited, and it seems that Thomas is very popular here. Hong Tao glanced around, but he didn't find anyone who pretended to be enthusiastic.

"He's my son-in-law, Aite, a Chinese boy. This is the first time that Thomas has admitted Hong Tao's identity in front of outsiders, and he said it quite smoothly, not like he was very reluctant.

Hong Tao hugged and greeted those uncles and aunts, and sighed at the power of money. As soon as he said that he had become the executor of the Zhang family's will, and he had the opportunity to let his son inherit this family property, people like Thomas, who are not usually very obsessed with money, were fascinated, and their attitudes changed so neatly.

"How did you Kruger's pearl find a variegated man on land, he's afraid he'll have to fill the toilet bowl as soon as he gets on board. "There can be discord everywhere, and Thomas is a good person, but obviously not to the point where no one dares to give an opinion.

No, just more than half of the greeting process was gone, some people expressed contempt for Hong Tao. This is one of the men who wears a captain's hat and pretends to be a force, and although his hair and beard are gray, he still has a green skin with his open chest and exposed his arms.

"What you said is not accurate, when the Chinese sailed, the Dutch were still digging plant roots in the swamp to satisfy their hunger, not to mention sailboats, and small sampans have never been seen." Later, it wasn't that you played well, but we were tired of playing. ”

"But just because we're tired of playing doesn't mean we can't play, and the ability to control the sea is always in our blood, so that any child can participate in the Ocean Race. It's just that we Chinese pay attention to introvertedness, and introverted understand it, that is, we know it, but we are unwilling to let outsiders know, let alone brag about it. ”

The term "motley" is not a swear in South Africa, nor does it smell of racism, just like we call whites and blacks, just a noun. But how awkward Hong Tao sounds, it's like someone is saying that he is a mongrel. And he is still attacking his best navigation, which is really unbearable.

Whether the Chinese are good at navigating or not cannot be argued, and the outcome of the debate may not be ideal. But now there is only one Chinese here, and his own expertise is basically equal to that of all Chinese, and this opportunity to help the people of the whole country must not be missed.

Of course, bragging also has to see the object clearly. If this is a large group of South African rugby team members partying, even if they talk wildly, they can only hide, and it is not worth it to take a fat beating for bragging rights.

But it's really unbearable for a group of old men to talk like this, children and the elderly have always been Hong Tao's favorite group of bullies, whether at home or abroad.

"Claire, your son-in-law is not only weak, but also stupid, haven't you told him what this behavior means?" The white-bearded old man made Hong Tao squirt even with a squeeze, and his old face turned red.

The people next to him were not good things, none of them came to play the round, and even men and women coaxed one after another. Hong Tao didn't understand what he was saying, but looking at his expression, he was 100% encouraging the old man to continue with himself. It is cost-effective to look at the excitement and not be afraid of things, not only the problems of the big children have it, but also the foreigners do not show weakness.

"He's just my son-in-law, not my son, and he has nothing to do with me. Thomas's grandson sold Hong Tao cleanly in one sentence, and then innocently pulled Dan and Jiang Zhuyi to sit in front of the bar, and each of them ordered a drink, ready to watch the play while drinking.
