Chapter 457: See Through
When I arrived at the hotel that Zhu Eva arranged for Shen Yiyi this time, it was already dark. Naturally, Shen Yiyi would not expect his arrival to see the kind of scene where the country's leaders came. There will be no flowers, no media, or a crowd of people waiting for their cars.
Just Howard and her, driving a car. Of course, there is also Shen Yiyi's super large box in the trunk of the car. In fact, there is no descendant of a high-ranking Chinese official or the heir of the Morgan family, who are simply two ordinary young people. At most, there may be unrelated people who mistake the two for a couple or a young couple. As for the differences in race and skin color, don't forget that this is the United States, a country of pure immigrants, and it's on the West Coast, which is traditionally inhabited by Asians, so this combination is not very abrupt.
Foreigner boys may have been educated since childhood, and the respect for women, especially this superficial respect, is very good. So when the ordinary car was driven away by the hotel's parking boy, Howard automatically and spontaneously pushed Shen Yiyi's pile of luggage in his hand and left. Of course, in fact, there were hotel porters who took the initiative to take the luggage out of the carriage and push it away with their kind of luggage clock car, but Howard took the initiative to take over the waiter's job and personally pushed the car for Shen Yiyi one by one.
Shen Yiyi watched him take the initiative to do this kind of physical work, looked at him a little strangely, and asked him in a low voice while checking in at the front desk: "Do you have no fragmentary banknotes?" β
Howard looked at Shen Yiyi and felt a little sweaty in his heart. He didn't expect that even this would be seen by Shen Yiyi one by one. But he won't admit it in his mouth.
"Why is this question asked? Why do you ask this? "First of all, you have to be very geographically straightforward from the momentum. Then it was possible to avoid Shen Yiyi's question.
But Shen Yiyi ignored him, and just directly told some of his inferences about him with the intuition of an engineering girl, which directly bankrupted Howard's attempt.
"Someone from a family like you. Arranged such a five-star hotel, you will not know that it is a traditional custom for the porter to help carry luggage. You should have gotten used to this kind of service a long time ago. But the fact that you just turned down the other party's service strikes me as unusual. β
"Come to think of it, there's only one explanation, and that's that you can't tip. You should have big money, but no small money, so tips can't be given. simply don't accept the other party's service. Is my inference still reasonable? β
Shen Yi turned his face to look at Howard. As she expected, Howard shrugged his shoulders and had to admit that she was "like a god." β
"I didn't expect that. This is all for you to see. You really should go to work for the FBI. That's right, I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring any small denomination notes. But why wouldn't you think I'm paying you my respects? What about volunteering to serve you? You won't be deeply moved. And then make a personal promise to me? β
In the end, his thick eyebrows deliberately stirred a few times.
Shen Yiyi rolled his eyes at him one by one. If you want to tease yourself, no way!
"You've given me less. Men are the most face-conscious in front of their female companions. It's not a shameless thing to tip. If you can tip, it shows that you have courage and is a big face-saving thing. It's just that you don't have a small amount of money, and you are reluctant to give large denomination banknotes, so you have to do it yourself. It has nothing to do with your affection or anything. Shen Yiyi said this deliberately. In fact, she was not as indifferent to the other party as she was carrying a bag for herself. Grow under the red flag. In her past and present lives, she believed in the truth that everyone is equal in personality. No one is obligated to serve another unconditionally. Of course. came to the West, and she was also happy to accept the gentlemanly demeanor in Western civilization. But acceptance does not mean that it is taken for granted, but that there is a feeling of gratitude in one's heart. It's just that Howard's words just now had a flirtatious meaning, so her eldest lady deliberately showed this look.
There was a bit of sincerity in Howard's words, which he probably only knew. It's just that young Duojin has a family aura, and he was invincible in front of girls in the past, but this time he kicked the iron plate again in front of Shen Yiyi, so he couldn't do anything.
"Well, you're right. I didn't bring change, and then I couldn't give him $100. It's not that I'm reluctant to give, it's just that I did that stupid thing before, and if I don't treat money as money now, then my family will face me even more. So during this time period, I can only keep a low profile. β
Shen Yi nodded. Know that keeping a low profile is a smart virtue in Chinese philosophy. So she can only encourage and encourage, and at the same time give blessings.
At this time, the front desk handed over Shen Yiyi's ID and a room card, and at the same time handed over a piece of paper for Shen Yiyi to sign. The Americans are all about doing things with one board and one eye. If it were in China, such a thing would not have to be operated by a VIP like Shen Yiyi at all, but would have been handled by a manager. The United States is different. The rules and regulations require me to personally handle these things, so those who do the work really handle them according to the requirements of myself. Therefore, the Chinese are very unruly at home, and when they go abroad, they really become good babies one by one when they face foreigners.
Of course, Shen Yiyi was not the kind of person who liked to play with any privileges, so she didn't have any awareness that she shouldn't do what she was asked to do. And Howard, who has been growing up in the pile of Americans, would not have thought that if this was according to the standards of Chinese secretaries, his arrangements today would really be full of bad points.
After getting the room card, Shen Yiyi reached out and wanted to bring his luggage over and carry it himself. But Howard was reluctant to return the luggage to Shen Yiyi.
"You can go upstairs in peace. I'll help you mention that it doesn't matter. I don't have a tip, so you should be honored to be personally there for you. Howard said half-jokingly to Shen Yiyi. It's been such a long way from the airport, and Shen Yiyi hasn't shown the slightest sign of being overwhelmed by his charm, which makes him feel a little frustrated in his heart.
Shen Yiyi shook his head: "Of course I'm very honored. Not everyone has Mr. Howard_Morgan personally served. So today, when I tell others about my experience, I must be so jealous that my eyes will fall out. But this is my room. I'm not used to letting a strange man into my room, even in a hotel. β
Shen Yiyi is talking nonsense with his eyes closed. That wasn't the case when she competed in Beijing. Back then, my friends didn't go to her room. Even when she was in the compound of the Shenyang Military Region, her male classmates did not come to her home. Of course, she probably had boys in mind instead of men.
Of course, Howard didn't know about her past. And according to his understanding of Eastern culture, conservative Chinese are really likely to have such traditional values. So Shen Yiyi's remarks really made him believe it.
"Well, I respect your values. But don't worry, I'll help you get to your floor, and promise to give you the box when you get off the elevator, okay? You already know that I'm here to help Yvonne with a punitive nature. If the family knows that I am in front of the lady but does not take the initiative to help, the evaluation of me will be lowered. So you give me a face, and let me serve you. By the end, Howard was a little quieter.
Shen Yiyi looked embarrassed, thought about it for a while, and then nodded to Howard: "Okay then." But after all, you can only go to the elevator. It looked like the other party wanted to help her or ask her.
But a lot of men really eat this set. Howard, who thought he knew a lot about Oriental culture, happily took Shen Yiyi's luggage and sent her to her floor.
Before saying goodbye, Howard said to Shen Yiyi: "By the way, Yvonne, she will have a final check on the exhibition at the venue today. I'll be there in a moment too. If you want to eat, you can call room service, or you can go to eat below. The restaurant in the hotel is open late. Meals are included in your bill, and we'll take care of it together after this launch. β
Because such a product was to be sold in the United States, according to the results of Zhu Yiwa and Shen Yiyi's discussion in Hong Kong, the two parties jointly registered a sales company in the United States, which was a cooperation project between the two sides. All costs for this launch were included in the company's internal budget. Therefore, Shen Yiyi's accommodation expenses this time are the same, they are all paid by the company. So Howard just reiterated once again, this time to come to the United States, Shen Yiyi didn't have to spend too much money on this matter.
Shen Yi nodded: "Okay." After a while, I met Yvonne and said hello to her. Sue her sΓΉ I have faith in her. I am confident that tomorrow's launch will be a success. I'll just wait for the time to share the dividends with her. β
Dragging the two boxes, one large and one small, when Shen Yiyi opened the door, she also saw Howard standing at the end of the aisle watching her.
After waving his hand and nodding his head, Shen Yiyi waved his card and opened the door. (To be continued......)
