Volume One Hundred and Fifty-Eight Exhibition

Previous Chapter

Since the previous night's set-up work had not yet been completed, we had to rush to the exhibition hall early in the morning to do the final touches. While the pavilion was not yet open to visitors, we brought the remaining exhibits from trucks and put them on the shelves, and temporarily installed projectors to play promotional videos with local characteristics. After the tea table and tea utensils were set, Bobo began to make tea and perform the tea ceremony he had learned, and we all took the time to change into uniform costumes and wait for each other. If it looks like an outsider, we really look like a large group of companies are exhibiting.

As soon as 9 o'clock arrived, visitors began to enter the exhibition hall one after another, and our booth also attracted a lot of people to stop and visit. Since we have free tea brewed on site, many people come back to our side to rest after a walk, which also makes everyone very busy: handing out flyers to hand out flyers, introducing products to introduce products, making tea...... And I carried the camera to record everyone's work with my very unskilled technology, and occasionally there was a scumbag mobile phone to take a few photos and send her QQ to share the grand occasion of the exhibition.

On the first day of the exhibition, the leaders of the relevant departments were going to come around to show their support for the event, according to our original plan to have live Yue Opera performances, but the student fans I was looking for have been officially rejected, and the well-known ticket holders who said that they were good have not appeared for a long time. Just when I thought the performance was going to be cancelled, my brother came to the exhibition with two people. In a brief introduction, I learned that these two were the well-known ticket holders agreed before. I quickly took them to find a place to put on makeup, but it was already noon. Fortunately, we got the "informant", and the leader couldn't come in the morning and changed the itinerary to the afternoon, which gave us extra time to make more adequate preparations.

In the afternoon, everyone in the exhibition hall, including tourists, looked a little lazy, and some booths had long since lost the excitement of the morning when they first opened. And at this time, it is the time for us to "sacrifice" the ultimate! With the sound of gongs and drums coming from the mobile stereo, a piece of Yue sound came out from our booth to all sides, and soon we were surrounded by tourists watching the excitement, including some reporters and foreigners. This kind of highlight moment naturally had to be recorded with the camera as soon as possible, so I carried the camera and constantly "grabbed" the camera with the TV reporter.

As I scanned the camera, my brother kept waving to me, and it turned out that a blonde foreigner was interested in traditional Chinese opera and was asking our customer service girl about something. I immediately pointed the camera at the two of them, but when the little girl saw me, she kept waving to me, with an anxious look as if she was letting me pass, and the foreigner on the side was constantly shaking his head.

"Quick, listen to what he's talking about." The little girl looked at me expectantly.

"Hmm...... All right. "The last time I communicated with a foreigner was when I was a freshman, and the foreign teacher knew that those of us who could only "break English" from a young age needed to speak slowly to understand, but now this is a foreign businessman who came to participate in the exhibition, how could he care so much?

“Can you speak English?” The foreigner turned his gaze to me at the gesture of the little girl.

“A little.” I whispered.

“Very well!” The foreigner looked excited, and then began to mumble a lot, my vocabulary is already limited, coupled with such a fast speaking speed, my heart has already galloped! Looking at the look of anticipation on the foreigner's face, I can only guess. felt that according to the routine in the TV series, foreigners generally wanted to know the content of the performance just now, so they turned around and asked the actors who had just sat down to rest after the performance what content they were playing, and then relayed it to the foreigner word by word in bulk English.

After listening to a few words, the foreigner turned his head with a helpless look, leaving me blushing in embarrassment in front of everyone, dazed and at a loss. Fortunately, an uncle passed by and saw the foreigner's difficult expression, "May I help you, sir?" Once again, the hope of foreigners was ignited. After a brief exchange between the two people, the uncle asked me if I had a mask for this opera. I instantly recalled that when the foreigner told me just now, he did mention "mask", and if I think about it, I should be able to understand it completely, why did I look confused just now? But I didn't have time to slap my thigh hard, so I quickly told my uncle about the situation. Although we didn't have masks, we had clay sculptures with opera masks, so we guided the foreigner and the uncle to see the products, but the foreigner finally left with some disappointment.

This experience became a lingering black spot in my life, considering that I was introduced to English in the fourth grade of primary school, and I took an extra two years of professional English classes in college. I think about how beautiful it was when I was working against a foreign teacher in speaking class, but now it has degenerated into such a state, and I am really sorry for the English teacher who taught me for 11 years.

In the afternoon, the leaders came to the exhibition hall on time to inspect, and we naturally worked harder to attract the attention of the leaders through various ways, not only the sound of the sound was turned on to the maximum, but also greeted the staff around the leaders in advance, and at the same time sent a team to "forcibly" guide the route. The hard work paid off, and under various "coincidences", the leaders finally came to our booth and gave a very high evaluation. One of the accompanying staff members also took a fancy to our exhibits and rushed back to buy them afterwards.

Although there were small episodes, today's exhibition was theoretically successful, and after the exhibition in the evening, we went to a nearby restaurant to hold a small celebration banquet, and invited the relevant staff who helped us this time, two ticket holders, etc. After dinner, I went to the famous KTV club in the provincial capital, but we are a group of fledgling people who know the business etiquette in this KTV, order their favorite songs, take the microphone and start singing their own "Hi", who cares about the guests sitting in the corner. A leader ordered the song I wanted to sing, and without consent, I grabbed the microphone and became a microphone, without noticing the other party's unhappy face.

As a veteran of shopping malls for many years, my brother finally couldn't stand it, so he "caught" back all the people who ran out to rest halfway, and beckoned everyone to sit together and play various KTV games. That day, it was the first time I heard about the drinking method of "driving a train", which reminded me of the scene when Lin Ye took us to dance with demons in KTV.

In fact, after a busy day, everyone wants to go back to the hotel early to rest, so I don't understand my brother's behavior. And when the guests dispersed and only our own insiders were left in the private room, he explained to everyone why he did it. It was only then that I began to understand that the mall is not easy, how beautiful the world looks on the surface, and the bitterness behind it can only be understood by those who have experienced it. When we were children, our teachers always taught us to create a better life with our hardworking hands, and when we grew up, we realized that we had to have brains......
