The person who came to greet him was an elegant middle-aged Chinese, he was about 1.7 meters, still wearing a suit and leather shoes on a hot day, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, carrying a briefcase, tie and shirt, looking like a business person.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Chen Haonan, who was concentrating on dealing with a chili corn tamale, jumped out of the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Brother Ma, I miss it very much, I miss it very much." ”
The two hugged each other, and the middle-aged man looked at Li Du curiously and asked, "Xiao Chen, who is this compatriot?"
Chen Haonan said vaguely: "I can be regarded as a supplier, and I sent me some wood today." ”
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to Li Du and said, "Hello, compatite, my name is Ma Zhi'an, I am a friend of Xiao Chen, and I am very happy to meet you." ”
Li Du shook hands with him and said, "My name is Li Du, and I am also a friend of Chen Haonan, and I am also very happy to meet you." ”
"Chen Haonan?" Ma Zhi'an was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, and then said, "You mean Chen Hao, right?"
Now it's Li Du's turn to be stunned, what Chen Hao?
Chen Haonan coughed reluctantly and said, "That, Lao Li, my name was Chen Hao before, and I later changed my name to Chen Haonan." ”
Ma Zhian smiled: "You really changed your name?"
Chen Haonan smiled impatiently, and said copingly: "Well, it's changed, anyway, I plan to change my name, and I will be called Chen Haonan in the future." ”
Ma Zhian pressed down his palm and said: "Okay, okay, Chen Haonan is a good name, but if you change your name, I have to modify your membership information." ”
Chen Haonan said: "Okay, then it's troublesome Brother Ma." ”
Ma Zhi'an smiled and said: "What are you polite to me? We Chinese have to help each other in a foreign country, not to mention that I won't help you this time." ”
The two were communicating here, Li Du was watching from the side, and he felt that Chen Haonan seemed to be very uninterested in this Ma Zhi'an, and chatted to deal with it.
He has known Chen Haonan for a short time, but he has also understood something.
In his heart, Chen Haonan should be a person full of desire to communicate and communicate, and from the time they met, he chattered endlessly.
Ma Zhi'an speaks Mandarin very standardly, always with a smile, and seems to be a very communicative person.
So it stands to reason that Chen Haonan should be more enthusiastic when he sees him, but now his attitude is so cold, it is speculated that Chen Haonan is not indifferent to Ma Zhi'an, but very tired of this person.
So Li Du just looked at the two with a smile, and he didn't take the initiative to interject.
However, Ma Zhian is also a very talkative person, and after chatting with Chen Haonan for a while, he led the topic to him and asked, "Xiao Li, are you also in Tenpei?"
Li Du said: "No, I'm in Flagpole City." ”
Ma Zhi'an showed a sudden expression on his face, and said: "You are in Flagpole City? Oh, Flagpole City, you look so young, if it weren't for Chen Hao saying that you were his supplier, I thought you were an international student." ”
Li Du smiled: "Actually, I came to the United States as an international student, but I left the school early and am now in the warehousing and auction business. ”
Ma Zhi'an said thoughtfully: "The warehousing and auction business, oh, there are very few Chinese brothers in this industry, but many people work in warehouse companies. ”
There are many warehouse companies in the United States that provide a lot of jobs.
Therefore, there are indeed many Chinese immigrants working in it, and there are also many immigrants from other ethnic minorities, after all, many positions in the warehouse are hard work and do not require knowledge, education and technical content.
Next, Ma Zhian shifted the topic to Li Du and chatted with him enthusiastically.
This person is very good at chatting, and after chatting for a while, he inquired about Li Du's general background.
However, when it came to warehousing and auction, Li Du used ambiguous rhetoric, concealing his income and only saying that he would mix up living expenses as soon as he entered the industry.
Ma Zhi'an not only chatted with him, but also chatted with Hans.
Unlike Chen Haonan, who has poor English, he speaks English very fluently, and even Hans doesn't know some slang, and he has to explain it to Da Ao.
Chen Haonan said that he wanted to buy some more food and wine, and Ma Zhian put his wallet and said: "Let me come, you sit first, Brother Ma has been in Tampe for the longest time, and he can barely be regarded as a host, there is no reason for you to pay." ”
Li Du refused, Chen Haonan grabbed him and said: "Let Brother Ma go, Brother Ma is bold and generous, if you don't accept his kindness, he will still be uncomfortable." ”
Ma Zhi'an smiled and tapped his finger at him, and then went to buy beer and food very happily.
As soon as he left, Chen Haonan's face tightened, and he said, "Lao Li, be careful of this guy, his character is very problematic!"
Li Du asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Haonan snorted and said: "I can't say specifically, anyway, this guy has a bad reputation in the Chinese circle in Phoenix, this bastard likes to pit our compatriots, you be careful!"
Li Du said: "He tricked you, right?"
Chen Haonan smiled dryly: "Yes, you didn't cheat me, so I was very annoyed with him, I was unlucky to meet him here today, I was really depressed." ”
Li Du asked, "Why did he cheat you? Let me be on guard?"
Chen Haonan said vaguely: "I've been pitted many times, I can't count them all, anyway, you'd better guard against him." ”
Soon, Ma Zhi'an bought drinks and food.
Li Du looked at the time and said, "You didn't line up?"
Ma Zhi'an smiled: "There are a few food trucks driven by my old friend here, and the things I went to buy from him are all made by people anyway, so it's better to let my friends make their own money, right?"
Li Du nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Saying that, he looked at Chen Haonan, he was opportunistic and didn't line up to buy things, but looking at other people's methods, he made a judgment.
Chen Haonan snorted again, picked up his wine glass and poured two large sips of beer.
Drinking wine and chatting, Li Du learned the identity of Ma Zhi'an, who turned out to be a director of the Phoenix branch of the Chinese Mutual Aid Association.
Like the Baiying Society that Elson told him, the Chinese Mutual Aid Association is also a Chinese organization, but the grade is one Himalayan worse than the Baiying Society, which is a very ordinary organization.
The 100 British Association is aimed at the Chinese elite, and the Chinese Mutual Aid Association is aimed at ordinary Chinese, as long as they are Chinese, they can join, and the purpose is that Chinese people help each other and live a better life in the United States.
Li Du has known about the existence of this organization for a long time, and he has also applied to join, but there are very few Chinese in Flagpole City, only some international students, and the Chinese Mutual Aid Association has not set up a branch in the local area.
He applied to join the Phoenix Chapter, and the chapter asked him to do the identification himself, but when he planned to do it, the school was closed!
Hearing Li Du talk about this matter, Ma Zhi'an said happily: "Do you want to join the association? This is very simple, I am a director and have the right to review, and Chen Hao is a member of the association, he can recommend you to join." ”
When Li Du heard this, he was moved, this is to find an organization.
