Chapter 163: Two People Who Look Alike
Vancouver is the city with the largest number of Chinese in the world.
With the end of World War II in 1945, Canada became an ideal country for immigrants in the eyes of countless people, and many people rushed to cross the country in order to escape poverty and seek a new life.
It is said that the history of Chinese immigrants to other countries is traceable.
Xu Ying and Yang Ergou temporarily settled in Vancouver's Chinatown, where there are more black-haired, brown-eyed, yellow-skinned Asians than the airport's various blond, blue-eyed, brown-skinned people.
Chinatown is full of old-looking, authentic old buildings, and if anyone has been to Hong Kong or Macao in the 21st century, they will quickly associate such a scene, and it is almost untouched in Vancouver's Chinatown.
The dull colors, the enduring smoke and fire of the Buddhist halls, and the street shops are full of China-related tourist goods, vegetables and fruits.
When I arrived in Chinatown, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and I didn't immediately contact the foreign business partner, so I found an inn and stayed directly.
One room for each other, all next to each other.
Although it is always said that the moon is very round abroad, in fact, it is one thing for people to find it when they come here.
It is true that there are various resources abroad, but it is very difficult to survive here, the food is not as light and simple as their own motherland, the food dishes are very monotonous, and everyone especially likes to eat fried food, from the airport to the present, the thin man has not seen much, the fat man is fatter than the other.
Moreover, the consumption here is quite high, and it costs a lot of money to take a taxi from the airport to Chinatown.
Yang Ergou, who usually shouts that he is not short of money and invests everywhere with a good family background, began to feel sorry for his purse, and said in Chinese along the way: "Expensive, really expensive, I want to go home and stay." ”
said that he wanted to go back, but his body was still very honest and helped Xu Ying carry her suitcase upstairs.
The two said goodnight and went into their rooms. Xu Ying didn't clean herself up, she hurriedly washed her face and threw herself on the bed to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already eight o'clock the next morning, and when I was washing and brushing my teeth, Yang Ergou came to knock on the door and asked Xu Ying what she wanted to eat, Xu Ying had toothpaste foam in her mouth: "You wait for me for a while, I will go down to eat with you after washing my face." ”
Chinatown doesn't have any special dishes, it's basically modified Chinese food, not authentic home cooking.
Xu Ying and Yang Ergou are typical Chinese appetites, although they are sometimes not picky, and they have not eaten steak, pizza, pasta, burgers and the like before the crossing, but when they eat this Chinese food, it is not an original taste, and even a little tasteless, they all look like they lack interest.
After eating, Xu Ying went to the inn to borrow a phone number to call her business partner and inform her that she had come to Vancouver.
When the other party heard Xu Ying's words, he was a little surprised, and quickly expressed that he would go over to pick up someone immediately.
didn't wait too long, and the other party came to pick up people.
The other party is a blonde woman with three-dimensional facial features, deep eye sockets, and a tight and beautiful figure, which is a typical Western beauty.
She was Mr. Shen's secretary, but when she saw Xu Ying for the first time, she was stunned at first, and her blue eyes reflected Xu Ying's face, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
"My God...... You ......" The secretary looked at Xu Ying and screamed out in a gaffe, then covered his mouth and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm just too excited." ”
"It's fine. Xu Ying felt a little strange, but she didn't take it to heart: "May I ask where Mr. Shen is?"
The secretary smiled, re-packed his demeanor and said, "Mr. Shen is waiting for you in Lange Company, and I am responsible for coming to pick you up to the company." ”
While talking, she kept looking at Xu Ying's face and muttered to herself.
Why do they feel so similar to their own boss? Although they can't tell the difference between yellow people, at least their own boss can still recognize it.
The boss and her look like it's just a copy and paste!
Is this true for all the yellow races?
The secretary felt a little confused, but he still smiled and greeted Xu Ying and Yang Ergou into the car, got into the driver's seat himself, and left Chinatown.
There are beauties in front of you, and they are always eye-catching.
Especially the secretary's fair complexion and tall figure made Xu Ying envious, and by the way, she sighed about the racial advantage.
Xu Ying quietly looked at her flat-like figure, and couldn't help but feel a little inferior.
Yang Ergou glanced at her, as if he had guessed her thoughts: "Wake up, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't change your race gene." ”
"I want you to talk more!" Xu Ying glared at him dissatisfiedly.
Since it was said that Yang Ergou and her are also from the same world, the relationship has become closer, and Xu Ying is sometimes glad that there is a partner with the same illness by her side, otherwise she will suffocate in this era.
"Please be seated, our boss will be here soon. The secretary told Xu Ying in English to wait patiently here.
Xu Ying nodded, took advantage of this opportunity to look around, and found that the facilities here are very advanced, the workers are wearing uniform work clothes, and the sound of machine operation is not small, but it is obviously the opposite of a domestic machine.
They all sit here in front of a long row of tables, and their movements are very flexible, as if the first row is making their own fabrics, such as dismantling and recombining, the second row is cutting and slicing, and the third row is stitching...... Methodically doing their own thing.
Of course, there are models inside, but they are wearing semi-finished products.
Xu Ying remembered that she had watched a series of behind-the-scenes haute couture videos such as Dior, Chanel, etc., and the scene in front of her was exactly the same as now.
She couldn't help but feel excited, she really came into contact with this line of work thoroughly.
When he was standing in front of the glass window and secretly excited, there was movement at the door behind him, and a figure inside hurriedly walked in, saw Xu Ying and asked with a smile: "You are Miss Xu Ying, right?"
"I am!"
Xu Ying turned around, and the smile on her face instantly froze when she saw the other party's face: "You ......"
The other party was obviously taken aback, she had heard the secretary say that the person who came this time looked very similar to her, at first she thought that the secretary couldn't tell the yellow race, so she would say that people with black hair and brown eyes and yellow skin looked like her.
It's not like that.
Xu Ying still remembers the face of the woman she saw on the yellowed photo that day, which was very similar to herself and this woman.
But looking at Xu Ying, Shen Rongyue knew what the secretary was talking about, what was going on.
