Chapter 737: Section-level Leader?
Wang Zichuan smiled evilly: "Later, the two of you can dance a dance." β
Gai Lili was ashamed and angry, she didn't have any ill intentions towards Yu Hui, and her voice was crying: "Mr. Wang, please be solemn, how can this kind of joke be nonsense." β
The waiter served the delicious food according to Wang Zichuan's instructions, and finally added champagne to Wang Zichuan, Yu Hui, and Gai Lili, and then returned it.
"You misunderstood me!"
After the waiter left, Wang Zichuan hurriedly explained that he was afraid that Gai Lili would really cry here, and explained: "When the two ladies dance together, it is equivalent to declaring: 'There are no men invited', so I am forced to find a dance partner, if you dance with a female partner here, there will be many men looking for you." β
Yu Hui suddenly said: "It turns out that this is what girls mean when they dance. β
Wang Zichuan smiled: "I understand, I often attend proms, and I naturally become clear about these etiquettes." β
According to international practice, two men dancing together is tantamount to declaring that they are not willing to invite any of the women present, invisibly indicating that they are homosexual, and the two ladies should also try not to dance together, especially in the presence of foreign guests or at a ball abroad, which is especially true in the West.
Yu Hui said: "Does Mr. Wang often attend such gatherings? β
"Me? I'm not very interested in any of that. Wang Zichuan waved his hand, he didn't like this kind of ball, especially the banquet held by Hong Kong upper-class people, it was completely a hunting ground for the children of the gentlemen, and some unknown people brought the female companions to the dance were often harassed and could not be prevented, these gentlemen relied on the power of the family, and when they met a beautiful woman, they had to get it, such as the eldest son of the Lin family, that is, Lin Jianyue's brother. Because of the trouble, he was taught several times by Lin Baixing and clearly deprived of his inheritance.
Yu Hui secretly said that rich people are capricious, and participating in the ball is a pleasure, and some people are unwilling.
Sitting in front of the window, she could clearly feel that the sun was gradually sinking in the west, and Gai Lili's heartbeat intensified, and she suddenly reacted that it was not early, and said worriedly: "Mr. Wang." When can we leave, originally at three o'clock, Sister Yu Hui and I could wait until the dance was over before leaving, but now it has been changed to five o'clock, if we go back too late, we will be questioned by the school leaders. β
Wang Zichuan said: "Whether you are attending a friend's private ball or a formal large ball, keeping the time is the first etiquette, and you must arrive on time. As for when it is appropriate to leave the ball, there is no rule, and it is best to hold on to a friend's private ball until the end of the ball, which is also a support for the friend. As for the other balls, as long as they don't just dance a tune and look too social. β
Yu Hui smiled: "What is this ball, Lily and I don't know that foreigner." β
Wang Zichuan said tentatively: "If you are worried about being scolded by the school if you go back late, you can stay here at night." β
It took a while for Gai Lili to listen to the sound. Jiao said shyly: "How can this be done? β
Yu Hui also said ashamedly: "Lily and I are two people." β
Gai Lili looked at Yu Hui unexpectedly, what does this mean, do you want Mr. Wang to choose one between them?
"There's no rush to this. If you want to leave, I'll drive you back. Wang Zichuan felt that it was not appropriate to continue to ask, and the reaction of the two beauties was expected by him.
The atmosphere suddenly became calm, Yu Hui sipped half a glass of champagne, occasionally looked up, glanced at Wang Zichuan, and quickly looked away, Gai Lili looked out the window, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Wang Zichuan drank two glasses of champagne and poured a glass of red wine for Gai Lili and Yu Hui, the alcohol content of the red wine here is quite high.
"One more thing, you should understand that at the ball, a pair of dance partners should only dance one piece together, and then you need to exchange dance partners to expand your social horizons, and you can rest after dancing."
"Ahem!" When it comes to the key points, Wang Zichuan immediately expressed his righteousness and awe-inspiring.
"The first dance at the ball is usually for the man to invite the woman who comes with him to dance with him, and if necessary, the two of them can dance together again when the ending song of the ball is played."
Yu Hui was stunned and said, "In other words, Mr. Wang invited us to dance?" β
"This ...... It's the rule. β
"Since it's a rule, Sister Yu Hui, you will dance with Mr. Wang first." Gai Lili glanced at Yu Hui, then at Wang Zichuan, and squirmed: "Then I'm accompanying Mr. Wang." β
"It seems to be ambiguous" Wang Zichuan was secretly refreshed in his heart, and he sounded very comfortable.
Yu Hui nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, but I don't dance well, don't mind Mr. Wang." β
Maybe it was the foreigners who were dining below who came up after eating, or maybe it was the other foreigners who arrived in advance, anyway, about five minutes, the Jiuxiao Hall suddenly became lively, and seven or eight foreigners with their respective dance partners greeted and introduced each other, which was mixed with the sound of deliberate surprise and laughter from the heart......
Seeing the foreigner suddenly appear, Gai Lili became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wang, if a stranger asks me to dance, how can I refuse?" β
Wang Zichuan is happy to answer this question, the foreigner open Cheng dΓΉ is comparable to Hong Kong, if he is not careful, maybe Gai Lili will be fooled by the other party to the room, this is a hotel, it is very convenient to do that.
"After the dance music is played, the man will generously go to the lady to invite, and if the woman's male partner is present, he should first nod to the woman's companion and ask for permission before he can go to the woman to invite, and then walk into the dance floor with the woman to dance together."
Wang Zichuan raised his cup and took the opportunity to touch a cup with Yu Hui, and when he saw the other party drink it, he put down the cup as if he wanted to speak, but the words in his mouth gradually digressed.
"If you are facing two or more invitees, the best way to save their face is to politely decline, if two men come one after the other to invite, you can accept the invitation of the first to come in the order of 'first come, first served', and at the same time sincerely to the people behind you: I'm sorry, next time."
Yu Hui said with a smile: "If there is a gentleman who invites me, I will not refuse." β
Wang Zichuan's eyes jumped, this Yu Hui should not take the initiative to invite foreigners to dance, this time only came out, it seems that she is a very utilitarian woman, and she will be patient, if she goes to Hong Kong to develop, she will not be much worse than Liu Jialing.
"Under normal circumstances, women don't have to invite men."
When Wang Zichuan explained the etiquette of the dance party like Yu Hui and Gai Lili, the venue of the Jiuxiao Hall had been arranged, and a platform with a radius of three meters and a height of half a meter was set up in the center of the dance floor, and the waiters began to shuttle back and forth between the kitchen and the Jiuxiao Hall, and in less than half an hour, they moved the delicious food prepared by the kitchen for the day to the tables around the Jiuxiao Hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this ball, and a special thank you to a few friends who took time out of their busy schedules to come and cheer." Spielberg stands in the middle of the dance floor, condescending, with a microphone on top.
"Hardy, please turn on the music."
"If you wish!" The young foreigner named Hadi opened the speaker next to him, and an unknown soft music filled the entire Jiuxiao Hall.
"Alan, please turn on the lights."
With the musical accompaniment, Spielberg became more and more excited, and the simple opening speech was happier than the president's speech, and Wang Zichuan was not interested in Spielberg's words, although he could barely understand what Spielberg was saying.
He is using his spare time to observe Yu Hui and Gai Lili's reactions, this trip to the mainland, by the way, recruit a few talents, the appearance of the two beauties meets the requirements, I don't know what the heart is.
Gai Lili held her chin, her eyes looked at the foreign people around her from time to time, it seemed that she was not interested in Spielberg's words, Yu Hui had to be more direct, a pair of big eyes stared at Spielberg without blinking, and her mouth gently read English, and then translated into Chinese in her heart.
Wang Zichuan patted Yu Huixiang on the shoulder and asked, "Do you understand?" β
Yu Hui said: "I can barely understand, there are some places where he said too fast, and I haven't understood yet." β
When Spielberg finished, he announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, I declare the ball officially begins!" β
Hearing that the dance party had started, Yu Hui said nervously: "Mr. Wang, is it time to start entering?" β
Wang Zichuan saw Spielberg coming over and signaled, "Wait a while." β
"King, it's all up to you today!" Spielberg's face was not good, and he said worriedly.
Wang Zichuan motioned for Yu Hui to calm down, and then calmed Spielberg and asked him to sit down.
"Did something happen?"
Spielberg said: "The attitude of the Chinese official suddenly changed, he said that he would have a meeting to think about it, oh my God, who doesn't know the Communists. Give birth. The party meetings are long and verbose, and perhaps they won't be able to finish their discussions next year. β
Wang Zichuan wandered through the crowd and soon found a Chinese man in his forties, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, in line with the current leadership temperament in the mainland.
Spielberg nodded, "His name is Ji Deyou." β
Wang Zichuan asked, "What position is he?" β
Spielberg said: "I heard that it is a section chief, how big an official is the section chief?" β
"Section chief? How big is it? Wang Zichuan laughed angrily, this Spielberg is busy in vain, and he can decide that "Empire of the Sun" is on it. Sea framing, at least at the department level, maybe it needs the approval of ministerial-level leaders, and he actually found a section-level official.
Spielberg sighed: "I don't know why Mr. Ji suddenly changed his mind!" β
Wang Zichuan shook his head helplessly and comforted: "This matter is left to me to solve, anyway, I will also deal with the government in the next few days, and by the way, I will mention the filming of "Sun Empire". β
This is Wang Zichuan's biggest hole card, the reason why he agreed to solve the framing problem for Spielberg is that he can have a direct dialogue with the mainland by relying on Tengfei Entertainment, and there will be relevant officials to review "Jingwu Heroes" at that time. (To be continued......)
