Chapter 478: Don't give face
Now that the scene of the encounter he once dreamed of has become a reality at this moment, Joshua certainly won't be stupid enough to lose his bearings here. On the contrary, he is quite a person who knows how to seize opportunities. Faced with Shen Yiyi's initiative to introduce himself, of course a boy who wants to be a gentleman can't let the olive branch handed out by the other party be wasted like this, isn't it?
Holding out his right hand, Joshua seems to have forgotten that in the traditional Western etiquette, when interacting with women, a man should not ask to shake hands with a woman if she does not take the initiative to extend her right hand. I don't know if Joshua is too excited, or intentionally or unintentionally, he just ignored it anyway.
Sure enough, seeing Joshua's outstretched hands, Shen Yiyi was in a trance for a moment. She didn't know if she should respond to the behavior of this man who was a little "overripe". However, she is also a person who has experienced all kinds of unexpected situations, and she quickly adjusted her mentality, and stretched out her right hand without being so pretentious, and gently shook it with Joshua's right hand. Her eldest lady was a female engineer in her previous life! You know, all kinds of problems faced in the career of an engineer, big and small, are commonplace. An engineer who is at a loss for the unexpected is an unqualified engineer who has not been trained enough. And Shen Yiyi thinks that he is a professional and qualified engineer, where can he be disarmed and surrendered by such a small scene.
But Shen Yiyi's response made Joshua excited all of a sudden. Young people who have a heart of Mu Ai in their hearts often have problems that are easy to open their brains. That's right. It wasn't that he was too excited to forget proper etiquette. On the contrary, he is very clear about what politeness should be. Then the reason why he chose "impoliteness" is already because he "has other plans". As for this "pictured" that "has another picture". There is no doubt that he wants to test his image in Shen Yiyi's mind. This young man, who was born in a family of businessmen and has been cultivated by his parents intentionally or unintentionally since he was a child, has experienced considerable calculations in front of Shen Yiyi's actions.
If Shen Yiyi knew what Joshua was thinking, I don't know if she would regret that she didn't show her color to Joshua at the beginning today. But with her eldest lady, she is a little arrogant and a little narcissistic. Coupled with the mentality of being indispensable, even if you know it, you will only be stunned for a moment. Anyway, since her eldest lady has decided to make peace, she will shake hands with Joshua. Then the consequences are no longer her boundary conditions.
Through shaking hands with Shen Yiyi, Joshua roughly knew that he was not a hateful person in front of the young lady he admired in his heart anyway, which made him feel a little lucky. You know, generally polite girls. If the other party is a person who makes her quite disgusted. Probably no matter how much psychological construction is done, it should not be willing to make contact with the other party's skin. Women are more or less psychologically clean.
However, since Shen Yiyi shook hands with Joshua, she thought that Joshua was not the person she hated. This gave Joshua the motivation to come up with his own ideas. Actually, Joshua was completely overwhelmed. Although Shen Yiyi can be regarded as a person who has seen all kinds of handsome guys, big and small, but in general, she is still a face control. The so-called face control is a person who has no immunity to handsome guys or good-looking people. Although Shen Yiyi will not do a lot of too abrupt "nymphoniacs" in front of handsome guys like some heavy "face control", as long as he looks good. In front of Shen Yiyi, he will indeed get a lot of impression points.
Joshua looks like a delicate handsome Western guy, just for that. Shen Yiyi didn't think he should shake hands with this handsome guy. Maybe Shen Yiyi will feel that he has taken advantage of this handsome guy and eaten a meal of tofu from others. Such a psychologically strong Shen Yiyi, like Joshua, is an ordinary Western handsome guy who has a beautiful imagination of oriental beauties and can't understand it. However, such a beautiful misunderstanding is not a big deal for the two of them at this moment. Anyway, such a formal or informal meeting between the two happened naturally.
When the two shook hands, they forgot that there was a third person present. Yvonne saw the two shake hands, and it was a shock. Although Zhu Yiwa is a Hong Kong native, she has lived in the United States for so many years, and in a large family with a little more rules than ordinary American families, her adherence to Western etiquette is completely different from Shen Yiyi. An impolite behavior like Joshua's is quite special in Zhueva's eyes. Of course, as Shen Yiyi's friend, and knowing Shen Yiyi's background, Yvonne would find all kinds of reasons for Shen Yiyi's response to such an impolite behavior. The biggest rationalization of such a behavior is that Shen Yiyi himself is a Chinese, and a young girl who came out of a place like Red China that pursues completely different values, and does not necessarily understand the values of Western society, so it is too normal to have such behavior. But as soon as Shen Yiyi's behavior was rationalized, Zhu Eva was even more blind to Joshua's behavior. She was basically glaring at Joshua's face with a reproachful look.
But the skin of a man is a little thicker than that of a woman. So Yvonne's angry gaze had almost zero effect on Joshua. Joshua and Shen Yi shook hands one by one, but their mouths were not idle. He also had to hurry up and introduce himself.
"Hello! My name is Joshua and I'm a friend of the Morgan family. Miss Eve, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope to have the opportunity to have an in-depth communication with you in the future. ”
Joshua's answer is also very mysterious. As a polite practice, he should introduce himself as Yvonne's male companion, because that is the function of the appointment he made with Yvonne today. But apparently, he didn't want to introduce himself like that. He didn't say if he had other concerns, but at least first of all, there was no doubt that he wanted to clear up his relationship with other girls in front of Shen Yiyi. He wasn't wrong, the reason why he met Yvonne and Howard was also because of the relationship between the two families. He said he was a friend of the Morgan family, and that was a statement of fact. He's not lying!
Also, he also very schemingly proposed that he wanted to have an "opportunity for in-depth communication" with Shen Yiyi. Who would meet a person of the opposite sex for the first time without knowing how to do it, and then ask for a chance to have an "in-depth communication" with the other person? Didn't he know that such words would have too much room for reverie and might be misunderstood? Of course, if he really wants others to misunderstand his relationship with the other party, then it's a different matter.
This time, Shen Yiyi didn't have the clouds and breezes like just now. She's not a fool. If she behaved ladylike just now, it was out of politeness and the need for her own manners. But this time, the topic of "in-depth communication" that the other party said was really not something she was willing to accept. Didn't you see Zhu Eva on the side, already staring at her side with an unbearable look?
Shen Yiyi thinks that basically, if a boy says such a thing to a girl who has only met once, there are generally two possibilities. One possibility is that this boy has limited knowledge and does not know that such words are very inappropriate to say on such an occasion. If so, the boy doesn't have a minimum of wisdom. And she, Shen Yiyi, doesn't like boys without wisdom very much. Such a boy, no matter how good-looking he looks, it is also an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass, and he will not have the responsibility that a man should have. And she, Shen Yiyi, is insensitive to such a boy. Another possibility is that the boy deliberately said such things despite his wisdom. Such a boy can already be said to have ulterior motives, and he lacks at least respect for himself as a girl! Such a boy, she Shen Yiyi can't accept it. She Shen Yiyi hates boys who pretend to be crazy and stupid, but disrespect girls.
Therefore, although Shen Yiyi was shaking hands with Joshua, there was no warmth in his eyes. The corners of her mouth twitched into a smile, but the words she spat out were cold.
"Mr. Joshua, as per etiquette, I said it was a pleasure to meet you, but I think you should be careful with your words. There are some things you shouldn't say at this time. This behavior is very inappropriate and impolite. Although I would love to be careful about your and Miss Yvonne's face, I would like to tell you that I do not want to have the same contact with you in the future as I do today, given the help I have given you. ”
After Shen Yiyi's words came out, the surrounding temperature began to drop significantly. Zhu Eva looked at Shen Yiyi with her mouth slightly open. She never thought that Shen Yiyi really wanted to be ruthless, and he really didn't give face at all when he spoke! (To be continued......)
