1238. in the first place
Tian Qing was interesting enough, arranging for them to be the Hilton Hotel, which is the international giant's new store in the provincial capital, and it is also one of the few five-star hotels in the city.
Dinner is also set in the hotel's western restaurant, although the two "Bite of China" in later generations have been very popular by a group of patriotic fans, and there are many posts on the Internet that are proud of their national cuisine, and even those foreigners are described as having a kneeling and licking attitude towards Chinese cuisine, but the real situation is not the case.
In fact, in the eyes of many white-skinned foreigners, Chinese food is too greasy and high in salt, and some dishes are very unsuitable for their taste, so not all foreigners like Chinese food.
There were five prospecting engineers from the Northwest Company of Canada in the team this time, and considering that there was also a very conservative Christian George among them, Li Yifan did not go to the special restaurant that Tian Qing had arranged before.
In fact, the southwest side, especially in Province G, is more sour and spicy food, and he is a little unaccustomed to it.
Before the meal, George also made a special prayer, and there were words in his mouth, and the other foreigners did not speak, and their attitudes were indispensable, Li Yifan and the others were in the purpose of respecting each other, and they did not make a sound.
Tian Qing didn't quite understand what this foreigner was doing, so he asked Li Yifan in a low voice: "Mr. Li, what is this foreigner doing?" ”
"It's the 'Song of Thanksgiving' in the "Hymn". Meaning: We eat together, give thanks with one heart, one porridge and one meal are not easy to come by, God gives our fellow citizens sweat and blood, and joyfully receive and serve others. ”
Li Yifan replied lightly.
"! The food I ate was brought by myself with one hand and one foot, and I didn't see any gods or Buddhas who could send me some food, so that I could worship them at any time. ”
Tian Qing muttered in a low voice.
George had finished praying by this time. His eyes swept over the two men who were talking. With intense resentment and disgust. Some ferocious. Li Yifan frowned, and a fire rose in his heart.
I don't know how Heidi spoke to these veterans before she came, in short, these foreigners were all a little arrogant when they came, in short, it made Li Yifan very unhappy.
In these years, don't look at the country shouting about the rise of China every day, but if you really go around abroad, you will know that there are actually few people who really respect Chinese people. Needless to say, the white-skinned people can carry a sense of racial superiority in their bones.
Even those dwarfs in Southeast Asia are the same, it seems that the national power is really declining, and if you don't give them some cruelty, they really don't remember which one their master used to be.
The atmosphere of this dinner was not very good, no matter how Christie tried to find a topic, only the rapping Reginald echoed, and most of the others were eating silently, and there were clear borders.
These are a few arrogant engineers. The attitude towards Li Yifan is a little disrespectful, because they don't know Li Yifan's origins. But Christie is very aware of the status of this Chinese man sitting next to her.
You must know that before coming here again, her big boss has specially explained to her that she must serve this one well, if he is satisfied, then the boss is not satisfied, if he is not satisfied, then the boss is very angry.
So along the way, she was trying her best to please the other party.
Christie comes from a middle-class family in Canada, is a very independent Western girl, has excellent academic performance, and when she was in college, she went to a prestigious Ivy League school in the United States.
But later during her college years, because of her father's company, her family was in the middle of the road, and the second half of her college was completed with student loans.
She still owes a lot of money to the bank, and now in the United States, although many people outside say that the economic environment is very good, she knows how difficult it is to find a job like this.
She had previously joined a European-backed investment firm, and was later sent to China to work and further her studies at the same time, but this was the first time she had come out to work alone.
And her princess's purpose is to serve the one in front of her, so she doesn't dare to slack off at all, whether the annual salary in the future is the minimum wage, or whether she can step into the ranks of the middle class, it depends on the perfection of this task.
"That's enough, George, you guys don't have such an attitude, if it goes on like this, I think I'll tell the above, let you go back directly, and change a group of people."
George is an old man in his forties, and there is a mulatto Reginald in the team, and the rest of Steven, David, and Pete are all white in their thirties.
These people are led by George, but there is a unified characteristic, that is, they seem to be a little prejudiced against China, among which George and Steven have the most fierce attitude.
Even on the way here, Li Yifan even heard them scold him in English, but the so-called dog beating depends on the owner, out of respect for Heidi, he did not choose to be serious with these people.
It's not that he hasn't worked with foreigners, and he has been in contact with a lot of foreigners before, but those are financial talents who have a greater sense of the overall situation, and they know how to communicate with people and compromise the best way to engage in finance.
So when dealing with those foreigners, most of the time it is more pleasant, because those people only recognize money, and as long as you give them enough money, they will treat you as the boss.
But George's gang of technocrats seem to be much more old-fashioned, especially from some conservative areas of Canada.
All the way, a few of them whispered in English, sometimes saying that this place was backward, and sometimes where it was barbaric, and then laughing at themselves, Chinese people who could only pretend.
Li Yifan's English is very good, he can understand what the other party is saying, but he has not had a seizure, after all, he came to Province G this time to help Heidi.
Heidi had helped herself so much before, and she should have helped her do something.
Out of consideration for the overall situation, he did not have a seizure, after all, these people are said to have a lot of professional experience, if they are sent away, it will be a little troublesome to go back and find someone to come over, mainly because of the time delay.
And as soon as it came out, before it started work, there was infighting, which is not good.
But these guys actually talked more and more excessively, and at the dinner table, they actually began to discuss the political issues of Huaguo, and for a while this place should be separated, and then they said that where it should not belong to Huaguo.
In the end, he simply began to laugh at Li Yifan, saying that this guy should have changed into a Qing Dynasty robe, and then kept the pig's tail from that time on his head......
The more Li Yifan listened, the darker his face became, this is a five-star hotel, he is not good at seizures, but these people are already dead in his eyes.
Christie next to him, although he didn't know whether Li Yifan could understand English or not, but seeing Li Yifan's darkening face and the arrogant and harsh laughter of the people opposite, he finally couldn't help but get angry.
Her character is to serve Li Yifan well, if Li Yifan is unhappy, she will not have good fruit to eat when she turns around, so at this time she feels that she should stand up, regardless of whether Li Yifan understands English or not.
"Hey, what are you excited about? Could it be that we have lowered your Chinese people, aren't you happy? Are you itching down there? Tell everyone, can that little Ding Ding of the Chinese satisfy you? I've heard that the Chinese guys are very small, and if he can't satisfy you, we have five cannons here, or we have a friendly match at night, what do you think? ”
Steven on the other side said, and several people next to him laughed.
This guy is in his early forties, has gray sideburns, and is said to have a lot of work experience, and when he was in Canada, he has been doing this job for decades, and he found several mines in Northwest Mining.
Usually he likes to mix in the ranks of workers, so he speaks very vulgarly and has a very wild temperament.
In fact, the reason why these guys look at Li Yifan so unpleasantly is mainly because of Christie's attitude of being meticulous to Li Yifan and even kneeling and licking along the way.
You must know that a white beauty like Christie, people like them can't get on the line, but this woman, in front of a yellow-skinned boy, is as humble as a dog, how can they be happy in their hearts?
was already holding back the fire in his stomach, and at this time, with some cat urine, several people couldn't help but have a seizure.
Christie didn't expect these people to speak so vulgarly, and looking at their scoundrel attitude, she was so angry that tears began to roll in her eyes.
"Looks like you guys don't want to work for me, do you?"
Li Yifan suddenly spoke, and this fluent English made these people suddenly change their faces.
Anyway, no matter what the origin of this Chinese person is, he is always the person in charge of the implementation of this Chinese country.
How excessive the words just now were, and they themselves knew very well that if this Chinese person reported these words to their superiors, it would be appropriate for them to lose their jobs.
It's not so easy to find such a high-paying job these days.
"If you don't want to come to this filthy country, you guys can get out of here, and I can tell you right now that you guys have been fired. The company won't be responsible for the cost of your return to China, and you can now guarantee that you will never have to think about messing around in this business when you go back. George, don't you like God? I think you can live with your God for the rest of your life, and a few of you, I believe that it won't be long before you can see a few of you in the unemployment relief office, hehe, the winter in Canada is not good, I hope you can survive this winter.
