If it was a child who was really born in a traditional revolutionary high-ranking family, Shen Yiyi's mood at the moment should be angry. This kind of contempt for mainlanders is quite common in Hong Kong and Taiwan at this moment, and even among overseas Chinese, and it is obvious that this kind of contempt, or sometimes escalating into discrimination, will definitely hit the self-esteem of ordinary mainland youth.

Basically, it has nothing to do with national self-esteem or anything. This is nothing more than a show of superiority by some of the more snobbish wealthy classes over the people of the less developed areas. Shen Yiyi, whose soul had already experienced the ups and downs of the afterlife, was no longer easily angered by this differential treatment at this time. On the contrary, she was able to fully understand the superiority of this little girl. Basically, it's similar to the kind of discrimination that a Henan person in Beijing, or an Anhui person in Shanghai, receives. This sense of superiority can always be rationalized by some people in order to maintain this feeling in their own hearts. And unless the despised party substantially outperforms the other financially, this is also difficult to change.

The little girl's mother was obviously at a loss. She knew that her daughter's behavior was sometimes out of order, so when she came out today, she specially admonished her daughter, asking her to try her best to control her words and deeds and not to bring trouble to the family's business. After all, the fundamental purpose of coming out today is to be able to get in touch with Hong Kong's future masters, not to casually offend senior officials in Beijing. However, obviously, from the annoyed eyes of the several ladies beside Mrs. Chairman, she already knew that her daughter's inappropriate words and deeds might really be in trouble.

To really put it mildly, the central government still attaches great importance to the major event of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. This is a rare opportunity to boost national self-confidence and pride in the past 100 years! So, these staff members who are here today. I can understand Cantonese more or less. At the same time that this little girl's "mainland girl" blurted out, these staff members in the hall had already noticed her very sensitively.

"Mainland girl" is really a collective noun. The staff here, as long as they are women, are really "mainland girls". In the tone and tone of the little girl, it was clear that she looked down on the "mainland girl" in her eyes so much. She has offended not only Shen Yiyi, but the entire staff group.

Naturally, there are people waiting to see the joke. Young people throughout Hong Kong don't have a good view of Chinese mainland. And unlike the older generation of Hong Kong people, how deeply emotionally connected they are to their homeland. These adults still know a lot about the thoughts of juniors, so most people simply don't bring juniors to this occasion. These little guys who don't know how difficult the world is and don't know how to restrain their feelings will only add to the chaos when they come. However, if you really want to bring one, and recklessly let your own point of view to others, it is obvious that things that offend people will inevitably happen.

But. Regardless of the perception of this little girl by the staff in the entire hall, the reaction of Shen Yiyi, who was dealing directly with the little girl, was very important now.

The little girl's sentence "mainland girl" was directly borne by Shen Yiyi. Of course, Shen Yiyi also has the right to decide to respond directly. And her reaction may cause follow-up actions from other staff members.

However, Shen Yiyi did not express the same anger as the other mainland staff. On the contrary, she accepted the title of "mainland girl" very calmly.

"Miss, if I am a mainland girl, do you know that you are a Hong Kong sister?" Shen Yiyi asked directly in Cantonese.

The little girl's eyes suddenly widened: "Wow, you even know Cantonese!" ”

Shen Yiyi smiled and nodded: "I can understand a little bit of everything, but I am not proficient in everything." But. Would you like to introduce yourself? ”

“Je_mappelle_Pauline.” The little girl nodded, and spoke again in French.

Shen Yiyi really wanted to stroke his forehead and sigh. This little girl is really quite uncontrollable. Basically, she can come however she wants.

She smiled and said to her, "Look. Since you don't know Chinese, can you stop speaking French? You can use Chinese or Cantonese. Your French name is Pauline, but what about the Chinese name? ”

The little girl stuck out her tongue and said cooperatively, "Okay then." My Chinese name is also Pauline. ”

Shen Yi nodded. It seems that this little girl's name has been thought of when she came up with it, and the principle of naming is a combination of Chinese and Western. Because most Chinese names are translated into foreign languages, it is difficult to find one that can be pronounced similarly. But it's not too abrupt in a foreign name. And names such as Pauling, Paul, David, etc. are still one of the more special names that are compatible with Chinese and English.

At this time, the little girl's mother came over and said to Shen Yiyi apologetically: "I'm sorry, Pauline always wants to joke with people more unintentionally. Sometimes she didn't mean it that way. ”

Shen Yiyi smiled: "Yes, it seems that sometimes we think that she is deliberately trying to express something, and we find out." Her own people may not know what they're talking about. ”

As a result, the little girl didn't understand what Shen Yiyi meant. She was dissatisfied with what Shen Yiyi said that she might not know something: "Who said I don't know what I'm talking about? I'm not a kid anymore, how could I not know. ”

The little girl's mother saw that someone had sent her a step down, but her daughter abandoned the step herself, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.

Shen Yiyi suddenly said sternly to the little girl: "Pauline, have you long forgotten what rules there are when we Chinese say hello to Dao'an?" You just made a lot of mistakes that shouldn't have been made to make your mother rush like this, didn't you find out? ”

Pauline heard Shen Yiyi say this, as if she had just realized this. She responded by looking at her mother, and suddenly screamed, "Ah, Mommy! Did I really miss the words? What can I do? ”

Her mother looked at her daughter, who was not afraid of poking the basket bigger, so she could only stroke her forehead and smile bitterly. This is really my own bear child!

Shen Yiyi had also discovered this little girl at this time, and she seemed to be ignorant of some of the exquisite etiquette of traditional Chinese society. Even in a place like Hong Kong, which has been ruled by the British for so many years, some traditional communication etiquette in Chinese society is still very exquisite, even more elaborate than in Chinese mainland. The mainland has already destroyed more than half of China's traditional civilization due to the "breaking of the four olds" during the revolutionary period, but in overseas places, those traditional things can still be well preserved. Hong Kong is from now on, let alone Taiwan.

Shen Yiyi tried to ask the girl's mother: "This lady, your daughter shouldn't have grown up in Hong Kong, right?" I think she is innocent, but she has some Westerners' heartiness and unpretentiousness. ”

Shen Yiyi was quite friendly in this question, and even felt a little sycophantic in the ears of the other staff on the side. Some people scolded in their hearts: "Shen Yiyi, what are you doing?" Is this so? You know, in a few hours, we will take over Hong Kong and become the master of Hong Kong again. Look at what she said, saying that Westerners are hearty and unpretentious, and we Chinese are twisting and contrived in this way. These people had been stimulated by this little girl's discriminatory remarks before, so they already had an opinion about the family in their hearts. originally thought that Shen Yiyi would sternly refute the other party and breathe a sigh for himself by the way, but he didn't expect that it would not be the case at all. So, by the way, Shen Yiyi also complained.

Shen Yiyi didn't expect that he hadn't said a few words, and he had already offended his teammates in the team. This is really an unintentional mistake. She really looked at it and felt that this little girl must have lived abroad for a long time. Because if you grew up in a Chinese society, you would never speak like this without paying attention. In that case, then there is really no need to lower yourself to the level of understanding with her, and care too much about what she says. Therefore, Shen Yiyi's words were purely to end the time that the mother and daughter stayed with him. She already felt that the troubles here were over as well. Because it seems that the eyes of the chairman's wife also look over to her side from time to time.

It's just that sometimes, the more trouble you want to get rid of, the more you will stick to yourself. Regarding Shen Yiyi's question, the lady was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to say to her: "I'm sorry Miss Shen." Xiaonu and Inuzi had been living in the Netherlands before, and only recently returned to Hong Kong, so they were not familiar with some Chinese etiquette, which made a joke. Miss Shen has a lot of adults, and I hope not to meet her in general. ”

Shen Yiyi paused slightly. looked at the girl, and sure enough, she could still see the characteristics of a mixed-race child. This made her heart question. This is the return to the celebration, so these guests invited should all be people of Chinese descent. Generally speaking, a Chinese who marries a foreigner, according to the traditional concept of the Chinese, marrying a chicken with a chicken is not considered his own person. But how could this lady be invited with her daughter?

Of course, although his mind moved slightly, Shen Yiyi still smiled and replied: "Where, where." In fact, Ling Yan and I are not much older, and we should have similar hobbies. Besides, I don't know your name, and I can't see it if I want to see it generally. (To be continued......)
