Chapter 373: Strange Little Girl
When Shen Yiyi was in a trance, two people came in front of her at some point.
In fact, Shen Yi felt a little bored early in the morning. Occasions like this kind of concierge are boring in her character as an engineer who focuses on solving practical problems. If we simply ask a good word or something, will we be able to build and transform the world? That's self-defeating. However, one of the laws of human society, the so-called golden rule of interpersonal communication, is really stipulated in this way, so Shen Yiyi has no choice but to accept it.
She observed the incapacitated body of Mrs. Chairman, and continued to meet with these Hong Kong wives, which was really tired and panicked, and it was also a test for her body. But fortunately, the wives who came to the scene today are mainly old women and middle-aged women. Generally speaking, people don't bring their juniors over. First, the juniors have no qualitative character, and are not likely to be willing to engage in such purely social activities, but will be willing to go out and have some fun on their own; On the other hand, most of the juniors have received Western-style education, and after so many years of support by the British authorities in Hong Kong, there must not be much sense of Greater China. In their hearts, they must be pro-British, so young people will not have much interest in making friends with dignitaries from Beijing. Because of this, Shen Yiyi's work is still quite easy. It turned out that as a special guest of the chairman's wife, he was responsible for being the playmate of those visiting children, so it was even easier to do nothing.
These are the questions that the current delegation from Beijing will not think of. Or maybe they've thought about it, but they're just blinding it. And Shen Yiyi came from later generations, so he naturally knew how fierce the backlash was in the end of such a route of governing Hong Kong that purely relied on real estate tycoons without considering the needs of the grassroots people. Almost from the beginning of that epidemic, the number of people who took to the streets to participate in the oppositional march continued to grow every year.
Of course, some kind of Cheng dΓΉ said above. The central government has also kept the promise of the chief designer to Hong Kong. The actual and complete capitalism in Hong Kong is what the people of Hong Kong wanted. Is there a more radical capitalism than handing over power to the big capitalists? Since socialism is not practiced here, it is natural that there is no need to follow the mass line.
When he was constantly thinking cranky in his heart because he was really boring, Shen Yiyi still dutifully put a polite standard smile on his face. From the outside, her eyes are kind, and her posture is quite dignified. Just beyond that. Her heart had already flown out of the clouds, so she didn't pay much attention to the pair of women who came up to her.
It's just that there is one point, after all, her distraction is just a momentary distraction. When her attention returned to her, she was still startled at the sight of the two women in gold and silver who had stopped in front of her and were judging her taste.
With a kind smile on his face, Shen Yiyi responded to the concerns of the two ladies one by one: "Excuse me, are you two looking for me?" β
Seeing that the main lord he was observing had already discovered his gaze, the older of the two ladies also had a smile on his face, and spoke to Shen Yi in half-baked Mandarin.
"Miss. Is your surname Shen? β
Shen Yiyi heard that he was a flurry. In fact, she is acting as an assistant to the chairman's wife for the banquet today, so it is normal to have her own name on the list. But being able to find your name from that list, and more importantly, being able to match your own number, is not a small effort. At least it proves that people have studied their own situation. You must know that there are about 30 people in the chairman's wife's group. To be able to locate oneself accurately from this, this intelligence collection work is still quite hard.
"Ah...... Oh, yes...... Do you know me? Still with a polite smile on his face, Shen Yiyan asked gently. The women who can come here are either rich or noble, so before coming, the female cadres repeatedly emphasized to Shen Yiyi that they must have a good attitude and be polite. In the words of the female cadres. This is a "political task".
The older woman muttered a few words to the middle-aged woman next to her, with some smugness. Although Shen Yiyi can still understand Cantonese, he is in such a relatively spacious hall. If people deliberately whisper, it is not easy to hear clearly.
The middle-aged woman then tried her best to put on a cordial expression and said to Shen Yiyi: "Miss Shen, if you come to Hong Kong this time, if you stay for a long time, you must come to the house as a guest." You are very welcome to come to our house. β
Shen Yiyi was a little stunned. She couldn't figure out how the two of them had come up with the idea of finding herself. And send such an invitation to yourself. She actually had the urge to ask the two women, "Dare to ask who you are, do we really know each other?" "These two women are really a little familiar!
However, of course, on such an occasion of reception, Shen Yiyi would not say so. She just nodded politely. Sometimes they take advantage of their identity. Pretending to be shy can also avoid some situations that may be embarrassing and require answers.
Fortunately, at this time, suddenly a person from somewhere really came to the meeting with a little girl. According to the reception process, when the adults were taken to meet with the chairman's wife, the little girl who was about a few years old and might be in middle school was led in front of her. Shen Yiyi also happened to take this opportunity to say hello to the little girl. Seeing the apologetic look on her face, the two women also said goodbye to Shen Yiyi for a while and stepped aside.
Shen Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. During the conversation with the two women, she always had a feeling of threat, as if she was being targeted. Now that the two of them left, Shen Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of the better mood, Shen Yiyi greeted this little girl warmly.
"Hello!" Shen Yiyi stretched out his hand to greet her.
The little girl smiled and stretched out her hand to shake Shen Yi one by one, but her mouth spit out "bonjour!"
Shen Yiyi was slightly flustered. This, isn't this speaking French? It's common knowledge that Hong Kong people don't speak Mandarin, but shouldn't they at least speak Cantonese or English? What's going on with this speaking French?
After a moment's pause, she felt as if she should test the other party more. The difference between her and the chairman's wife is that behind the chairman's wife, there is actually a female reporter sent by the Xinhua News Agency to support her. The name and family background of each person who came forward to meet her and greet her, as well as other information that needed to be known, would be reminded by the female reporter to facilitate the decision-making of the chairman's wife. And Shen Yiyi does not have such treatment. Of course, Shen Yiyi can also ignore so much, anyway, just smile and shake hands as required, and then finish the team when the time comes. But Shen Yiyi felt that he needed to be serious, and at the same time, he was also looking for some fun in his boring career and playing a game of guessing.
Therefore, Shen Yiyi also asked in French, "Parlez_vous_Chinoi?" (Do you speak Chinese?) οΌ
Sure enough, Shen Yiyi's eyes lit up when he saw this girl: "Non!" (No)
Shen Yiyi continued to ask, "et_langlais?" (What about English?) οΌ
βun_peu_seulment.β (only a little)
Basically, this back and forth is more than 5 sentences, and the communication between the two people is established. The little girl on the other side obviously didn't expect that she would be able to find a French-speaking playmate here, and the interest came up at once. Next, he spoke around Shen Yiyi in French, which almost made Shen Yiyi's head come out of three threads.
Although Shen Yiyi had studied French, it was purely as an extracurricular interest. That level is not comparable to her own good English. Because of this, when the girl's French is spoken quickly and the words used are complicated, Shen Yiyi is blind. She really regretted it at the moment, she had nothing to do and what to do in her French, obviously this level did not reach a certain level. This is good, if you go down, do you want to apologize directly to the other party and say that your French level is not good? Isn't this your own appearance?
Shen Yiyi regretted it here, but the girl still attracted Shen Yiyi as a close friend as if she didn't notice it, and even took Shen Yiyi's hand. Shen Yiyi was so anxious that his head was about to sweat.
At this time, the woman who was probably greeting the chairman's wife, who was now over, came over, glanced at the French-speaking girl very reproachfully, and then reproached in Cantonese: "Qingguo, you are naughty again." Mom still told you that you can't joke with others like this? Are you fouling again now? β
At this time, a scene that surprised Shen Yiyi happened. This little girl, who was called Cheng Qingguo and had been speaking French with Shen Yiyi, turned out to be a very standard Cantonese when she spoke: "Mom, I just play with her casually." I didn't expect that the foreign language level of the mainland girl is also good, and she can speak a little French! β
Shen Yiyi was taken aback by her words. Dare to love this Qingguo girl has been pretending to be garlic! And judging from the way she describes herself, this is one of those Hong Kong young people who look down on Beijing! (To be continued......)
