Chapter Forty-Six: Beibei's Little Revenge
The distinct attitude and service gap made Gu Xiangnan hold his breath in his heart, and the eldest sister who came out of the counter bumped into her, and her face turned red instantly. His self-esteem had been hurt, and for the first time he felt that poverty had been so humiliating.
The hanging hands were clenched into fists, and he looked at the waiter who kept offering hospitality without saying a word, wanting to see what a bunch of people were scrambling to get something, and there was no impatience at all.
Gu Beibei stood quietly and observed from the three of them when they came in, and did not retract his thoughts until he got the news he wanted. She looked at the angry Gu Xiangnan and took the honest man's hand: "Dad, raise your head, we have nothing to be ashamed of." You don't have to say anything for a while, look at me. ”
Gu Xiangnan squeezed her hand and soothed, "It's okay, let's go." ”
Bei Bei stubbornly shook her head, snorted coldly, and said in a standard London accent: "Shopping is originally a pleasure, depending on the service of the store, attitude is important. From the service attitude of these people, it can be seen that the products of this store are not much better. Dad, it's not worth our time here. ”
She still learned this kind of English from Yuan Kai, but they may never have the opportunity to meet again in this life.
The waiters in the store were taken aback by Bei Bei's fluent English, in their opinion, those who can speak English are either from good family conditions or from abroad, could it be that this sloppy father and daughter are overseas Chinese? They looked at the Gu family's father and daughter again, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
Gu Xiangnan was also taken aback by his daughter, and looked at her in surprise, wondering if Uncle Zhou's family also taught English? wondered how many secrets his daughter hid in her, and why he didn't find out at all when they lived together.
Bauer is the director of a brand operation company in the United States, mainly helping companies with market research, merchandise operation and sales. He came in a hurry, and the translation arranged by the company was not in place, and his wife and children were eager to go out for a walk, so he had no choice but to compromise.
Although working in the United States, he is a native Londoner, and he was pleasantly surprised to hear Beibei's familiar spoken pronunciation. He looked at Gu Xiangnan and thought to himself: The child can speak the London dialect fluently, and the adult must be good at speaking, so he happily approached with his wife and children.
"What a surprise to hear a familiar tone in a foreign land. I'm Bobby, British. This is my wife Jenny and my son Lauren, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Although Gu Xiangnan did not understand the meaning of the conversation, he saw the other party's hand stretched out and shook hands with a polite smile, and said in Chinese: "Hello, welcome to China." After speaking, he looked at Bei Bei, with doubts and uneasiness in his eyes.
Bei Bei smiled and encouraged herself, turned her head and introduced herself by the way: "Hello, I'm Sara." My dad is a very strict and old-fashioned person who doesn't like to talk to strangers. She winked mischievously and whispered, "And he has a bad habit like the French, and likes to speak his own Chinese language in his own country, forgive me." ”
Bobby nodded knowingly, Gu Xiangnan naturally nodded in return, this ingenious misunderstanding was not revealed until many years later, at that time Gu Xiangnan was already fluent in English and was also the CEO of a company.
Old Bobby likes the smart and clever Bei Bei very much, and explained the origin with a smile: "Actually, I came to your country this time to inspect the market, and the translation is not in place yet, so I want to ask you to be a guide, is it okay?" ”
Jenny, who is an authentic American, added, "We can pay if you show us some interesting places." ”
Gu Beibei knew that this was their habit, and she was not angry: "I'm sorry, I refuse." Because we haven't been in the city for long. ”
The two of them listened to Bei Bei say this, and glanced at the man who was still smiling and silent, and felt a little regretful.
Bei Bei saw that the waiters had been staring at them, and a wicked smile rose on the corner of his mouth: "But I can give you some advice, after all, we are still familiar with the language and culture here." ”
"Really, that's great. Thank God for allowing us to meet such a kind girl as you. Jenny said happily.
Bei Bei thought to herself: If they were going to use them to retaliate, maybe they wouldn't comment like that.
"If Mr. Ball is looking at the purchasing power of the market, then you shouldn't come here because there's nothing you want." Bei Bei said confidently.
Old Bobby was surprised and said, "Why do you say that?" ”
Bei Bei smiled: "I think you should know my country's economic model, this store happens to be such an operating model, so it is not suitable." Moreover, although this kind of economic system is now being reformed, people's consumption habits and concepts cannot change so quickly, and now should be a wait-and-see period, and rashly entering an unfamiliar market will suffer a big loss. ”
"You're here to investigate, aren't you?" He carefully considered Beibei's words, and did not despise her because of her age.
Gu Beibei was silent, not admitting or denying it. She was able to make an accurate judgment from his wife's few words of complaint. She took a deep breath and continued: "If Mrs. Bauer wants to buy national crafts, I suggest you should go to another place, where there is a serious phenomenon of rip-offs, and the more enthusiastic they are, the more careful you should be. ”
She dared to say this in English because she knew that everyone here didn't know English, and she wasn't afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble; On the other hand, these people should learn some lessons about the consequences of not being able to see enough.
Gu Beibei picked up the paper and pen that the waiter put on the counter, and wrote in Chinese and English the very distinctive commercial street mentioned by Kong Ningjian, as for whether to go or not is their own business.
Bauer was woken up by Beibei's words, and the problem of this period of time was solved at once, and he thought quietly. Jenny's focus was different from her husband's, and when she heard the slaughterer, she immediately raised her eyebrows and asked, "Really?" Are they going to do that? ”
Bei Bei looked at the waiter next to him with a sweet smile: "As you can see, we are leaving, and it is unfortunate to hear them discussing how much money they can make from you. I feel sorry that there are such compatriots. ”
Old Bauer was furious when he heard this: "These people are too rude, I will definitely complain." Thank you to this beautiful young lady for reminding me that this is my business card and you can contact me if you have anything in the future. ”
Gu Xiangnan saw Bei Bei motioning for him to accept it with his eyes, and took it with both hands with some nervousness, and thanked him in English.
"When I encounter such a thing, I feel very ashamed, and I can't bear to let my international friends be deceived." Bei Bei smiled innocently and harmlessly, turned around and left this unpleasant place with the stunned Gu Xiangnan.
As for the reaction and consequences of her people, it has nothing to do with her.
