"It's alright!" Xiaoxi pouted and said, "I don't understand foreign dialect yet." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"There's no way, I can only learn slowly." Ah Fa comforted, stretched out his finger and pointed to the car, and said, "Look, my brother bought you a bicycle." When you saw it before, didn't you think it was strange, why didn't the two wheels fall, try it yourself this time. ā
"Then you'll have to teach me." Xiaoxi couldn't see clearly, took two steps back, and jumped up to look.
"Look at it when you go home, this is my brother's birthday gift to you." Ah Fa smiled and opened the car door and stretched out his hand to say hello.
Xiaoxi walked to the door of the car, but stopped again, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, I have made good friends at school, can I invite them to play?" ā
"It's a good thing to make friends, you can come if you want, you let Ah Guo cook delicious food to entertain them." Ah Fa didn't care, thinking that her sister grew up in a closed countryside, and making more friends would be good for her to broaden her horizons and treat people and things.
"They help me fill in the foreign language, although they are younger than me, they are better than me." Xiaoxi said and turned his head to look for it, and then waved his hand vigorously.
Hey, Ah Fa was stunned for a moment, not all strangers, but knew two of them. One is Charlie who printed the Bible, and the other is a little dot who is holding him in his hands. He didn't recognize the other two girls, one in his teens and the other in seven or eight years old.
"Mr. Chen, meet again." Charlie Song smiled and nodded in greeting.
"Mr. Charlie, what a coincidence!" Ah Fa also nodded with a smile and asked Xiaoxi, "Are they all your good friends?" Invite them to come to your house the day after tomorrow and celebrate your birthday together! ā
Xiaoxi agreed, and spoke affectionately to the two older girls. Xiao Budian stretched out his finger and said crisply: "I can't see it clearly from a distance, is it a bicycle on the carriage?" ā
"yes, a birthday present for Xiaoxi." Ah Fa smiled and said, "Do you want to ride too?" I'll be able to wait until I'm older. ā
"So you're so big, you're going to ride?" Xiao Budian pouted a little contemptuously, "I see that you just bought it, and you have to go home to study!" ā
"I don't have to learn to ride well." Ah Fa looked at Xiao Budian's appearance and teased her with a smile, "Because I am an adult, I have long legs, one inch longer than you, and I can ride twice as well as you." ā
Xiao Budian's face immediately collapsed, and he puffed out his cheeks for a long time before he said unconvinced: "Then if you ride, if you don't practice, you will brag." ā
"If you let me ride it, I'll ride it?" Ah Fa shook his head, "I'm an adult, listening to your little child's words, isn't it very shameless." ā
"Huh." Charlie Song smiled and stroked the head of her little daughter, who was bulging with anger, and said, "Meilin, don't be rude." Mr. Chen is a celebrity, and if he can ride, he will definitely ride. By the way, Mr. Chen, Weichang Company is opened by you, yesterday your company came to print a batch of prospectuses, there are two garment factories and chemical factories. In my opinion, it is relatively easy for garment factories to raise capital for shares, and it is not easy for chemical factories. ā
"This, I also expected, after all, the Chinese people are relatively unfamiliar with this, and have not yet realized the importance and development prospects of the chemical industry." Ah Fa nodded, agreeing with Charlie Song's judgment, "I think it would be more attractive if we first set out some small commodities that are easier to produce and are necessary for life, such as soap, tooth powder, toothpaste, matches, etc." ā
"It's a good idea, and I think it could be added to the prospectus." Charlie Song paused and kindly reminded: "However, it is not easy to compete with foreigners!" ā
"There's always competition, even if it's something exclusive, it can't be avoided for a long time." Ah Fa seems to be mentally prepared for this, or rather, he is relatively familiar with this industry, so he is more confident.
"Something exclusive, MSG is selling well, and there are no competitors until now, right?" Charlie Song said with a smile: "Looking at Mr. Chen's confident appearance, there should be other exclusive products to be afraid of, right?" ā
"Hehe, it's true, I'll be able to get it out in a few days." Ah Fa was not modest, admitted it very calmly, changed the topic again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Charlie is really blessed to have such a lovely daughter. As for my sister, although she is older, she has learned knowledge late, and she is not so mature, and I really hope that they can help each other and become good friends. ā
"I don't have a problem here." Charlie Song said: "In terms of educating and nurturing children, I have always adhered to three basic ideas: one is 'regardless of reputation, must be ancient', the second is that men and women are equal, not bound by 'women are virtuous if they are not talented', and women should also achieve something, and the third is to be friends with children and practice influence and education in daily life." ā
"It's very reasonable, it's advanced." Ah Fa did not hide his admiration, and said with a wry smile: "When it comes to children's education, I am a layman, and listening to Mr. Charlie's words today is very beneficial." In the future, if you have any questions about the education of your younger siblings, you have to ask Mr. Charlie for advice! ā
"Mr. Chen is too humble." Charlie Song saw that the children had finished discussing, so he smiled and asked a few words.
"Brother, we don't have much fun at home, right?" Xiaoxi was a little faceless, people had a piano, a trumpet, and a small garden, and the home seemed to be a little shabby, she peeked at Ah Fa, and said, "They invited me to their house." There was a piano and a ......"
"It's unreasonable to go to someone's house for a birthday." Ah Fa shook his head categorically without thinking too much, and said slowly after thinking about it: "As for the piano, we don't have it, and if you have other instruments, it's easier to be lighter." Well, there's still time to prepare some entertainment props and games, so that you can always have fun. Go tell them, and come the day after tomorrow. ā
Xiaoxi bit her lip lightly, walked over and talked for a while, and only returned to Ah Fa's side after being sure.
"Mr. Charlie, I am here to issue a formal invitation, please and your wife, and the three daughters, come to my sister's birthday party the day after tomorrow, and please do not refuse." Ah Fa turned his head and looked at Charlie Song very sincerely.
Charlie Song is of medium stature, well-dressed, and has a beard, just like Ah Fa, he already looks like a foreign devil. What made a good impression on Ah Fa was his eyes, which were melancholy and strong, and rarely had the usual cunning and philistine of a businessman. Therefore, Ah Fa has no objection to this man who made a fortune selling Bibles in Shanghai, and even appreciates his educational philosophy.
"That's a lot of bothering." Charlie Song happily accepted the invitation, and it could be seen that he seemed to be very interested in Ah Fa and was willing to get close to him.
