King of Industry
Chapter 260 Cultural Differences
At the banquet, as time went by, the communication between Zhao Guoyang and Suzanne gradually deepened.
To Zhao Guoyang's surprise, although Suzanne knew little about China's history and humanities, she knew quite a lot.
If it weren't for the fact that he had decades of memories from his previous life, he might not have been able to answer her endless questions.
Susanna also praised Zhao Guoyang's profound knowledge repeatedly, saying that he is the most knowledgeable peer she has ever met.
Guoyang, you are here. Just now Mayor Huang said that he wants you to take care of Teacher Zhang for a while. Mao Zhichun's voice behind him interrupted the conversation between Zhao Guoyang and Susanna.
Hearing Mao Zhichun's voice, Zhao Guoyang turned his head quickly and said, Success, Chairman Mao, I'll go over and replace Teacher Zhang right now. Maybe she's so busy that she doesn't even eat much tonight?
Holding the wine glass, Mao Zhichun gave a hmm and said, Yes, Mr. Zhang was busy translating important figures such as Mayor Huang and Governor Baptista, so he had time to drink some drinks to moisten his mouth...
Before Zhao Guoyang could speak further, Suzanne next to him took his hand and said, Zhao, since that's the case, let's go there together and let Miss Zhang rest for a while.
Zhao Guoyang frowned slightly, and then relaxed it. Looking at Chairman Mao who was stunned beside him, he could only reluctantly say: Chairman Mao, then Miss Susanna and I will go there first.
Ah, good, good... Mao Zhichun nodded stupidly, even Susanna could see the surprise on his face.
Hee hee, that Mr. Mao just now, did he misunderstand something? Susannah couldn't help asking when walking towards the crowd.
Looking at the sly gaze of the eldest lady beside him, Zhao Guoyang shook his head helplessly, and said, You, you should ask the question knowingly. I don't believe that you have studied Chinese culture for so long, and you don't know the saying 'whether a man or a woman can kiss each other'. With you holding hands like this, after I go back, I still know how to be cared by the leaders.
Heck, Zhao, you are so honest, you are different from most Chinese people. Susanna said with some joy.
Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang stopped for a while, looked at Suzanne and said with a smile, Seeing what you mean, you should be talking about our Consul General Luan Shengfeng, right?
Seeing Suzanne nodding repeatedly, Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly and said calmly, Actually, this issue needs to be viewed dialectically.
Many times, the straightforwardness of your western countries is a kind of politeness; while the humility and flattery in our Chinese culture are also a kind of politeness. This is mainly the difference brought about by the differences between the two cultures.
Susanna nodded when she heard the words, and echoed: Zhao, you are right. I also know that Mr. Luan is a good person, but sometimes he likes to praise people too much.
Hearing Suzanne's little complaint, Zhao Guoyang was secretly amused, and thought: You think that our Consul General Luan praises people when he sees them, then this compliment is too worthless. Only in the face of you, the daughter of the governor, will he say a few more words of praise.
When the two were talking and laughing towards Huang Zhigang, Baptista and other big shots, many people had already noticed them along the way.
In addition to the delegation from the Huaxia side, there are also many politicians from the state of Sao Paulo who came to this banquet today.
These people naturally knew Susanna, the beautiful governor's daughter.
Seeing Suzanne holding the hand of a tall, tall black-haired man as if no one else was around, these people had a relieved smile on their faces.
Dad, Mayor Huang! We are here to replace Ms. Zhang. Suzanne generously pulled Zhao Guoyang and walked in front of Huang Zhigang and Baptista.
Seeing the suspicious gazes of Mayor Huang and Teacher Zhang next to him, Zhao Guoyang coughed quickly, and quietly broke away from Susanna's hand and said, Mayor Huang, Teacher Zhang is so busy that he probably hasn't eaten much, I will replace it. She'll be here for a while.
After hearing this, Zhang Yufang quickly waved her hands and said, No need, no need. Guoyang, you are too polite, this is my job...
Hey, Mr. Zhang, what Guoyang said is right. We are in a delegation, that is, a family. Guoyang speaks Portuguese so well, it doesn't hurt to ask him to help share some of the burden. You go over there to eat Things, we will still rely on you tomorrow.
This... Zhang Yufang hesitated for a moment, but could only nod in response.
Before going to the grill over there, she did not forget to cast a grateful look at Zhao Guoyang.
Zhao Guoyang smiled at Mr. Zhang indifferently, shrugged his shoulders, and said it was okay.
On the other side, Baptista naturally saw his daughter, who was holding Zhao Guoyang's hand.
The governor was not as surprised as Mayor Huang, he just smiled and said to Huang Zhigang: Mayor Huang, this young man under your command is very capable!
Hearing this great man's praise of himself, Zhao Guoyang felt helpless and didn't know how to translate it for Mayor Huang.
Suzanne on the side couldn't control so much, and explained to Huang Zhigang directly: Mr. Mayor, my father is praising Zhao, saying that he is very capable and talented!
Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: He's very talented, Miss, you added it yourself, right?
After Zhao Guoyang and Suzanne, the half-baked people, translated, the conversation between Mayor Huang and Governor Baptista was not hindered in any way.
Basically, as soon as the two of them spoke, Zhao Guoyang was able to translate the corresponding language fluently.
Luan Shengfeng, who had been paying attention to the situation behind him, was amazed when he saw this situation.
He became more and more curious about Zhao Guoyang, a young man.
The dinner lasted for almost two hours, which can be regarded as a joyous time for the host and guests, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Apart from Mayor Huang and Governor Baptista, Zhao Guoyang was the most watched one at the scene today.
When several politicians from the state of Sao Paulo came to toast, they also chatted with him.
Generally speaking, these bigwigs have a good impression of Zhao Guoyang.
What Zhao Guoyang didn't notice was that when several bigwigs came to talk to him, the Germanic translator of Songqi Group took off in an inconspicuous position, and looked at him full of jealousy.
After dinner, it was finally time to leave.
Originally, according to Consul General Luan Shengfeng's suggestion, Mayor Huang, Yao Gang, Yu Pengfei, Li Kejian and other bigwigs could stay in the consulate general, and let the rest of them stay in the hotel in Sao Paulo.
But this suggestion was firmly rejected by Huang Zhigang.
In the words of Mayor Huang, since he is the head of the delegation, he must live with everyone and cannot be specialized.
Moreover, in the consulate general, there are not only officials from Huaxia, but also some staff from the Samba country. In short, it is a lot of inconvenience.
So in the end, Mayor Huang asked Consul General Luan to introduce a five-star hotel, and then led the crowd to drive there.
Before leaving, Governor Baptista and other dignitaries in Sao Paulo State naturally shook hands with Mayor Huang and his party to say goodbye.
Surprisingly, after the governor shook hands with Chairman Mao of Songqi Group, he extended his hand to Zhao Guoyang who was hiding on the edge, and said hello.
Zhao, you are good, very good! I heard that you promised Suzanne to help her take a look at the faults of the car. Thank you very much... Baptista smiled and shook hands with Zhao Guoyang who came up.
Seeing Suzanne sticking out her tongue behind Baptista, Zhao Guoyang looked helpless.
On the way back, I took a commercial vehicle driven by the Consulate General.
The car originally had nine seats, and it happened that Mayor Huang and his bosses, Consul General Luan and Teacher Zhang were just right. However, Mayor Huang Zhigang specially asked Zhao Guoyang to get in the car, saying it was a squeeze.
After Mayor Huang spoke, Chairman Mao, who was on the alert, stood up quickly, saying that he had something to explain to the people from Songqi Group, and turned to the car behind.
Sitting in Chairman Mao's seat, Zhao Guoyang saw Mayor Huang, Minister Yao Gang, and Minister Yu Pengfei cast playful glances at him.
The first person to speak was Yao Gang, the boss of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. From his doubts about Zhao Guoyang at the beginning, he gradually appreciated him. Now, he is very optimistic about Zhao Guoyang, a young man.
Guoyang, you can do it, boy! It's just the first day you came to Samba, and the beautiful daughter of Governor Baptista is overwhelmed by you! It's amazing, amazing, it really is a hero born a boy!
Hearing Minister Yao's teasing words, Zhao Guoyang blushed softly, and he didn't know what to say.
The current him is completely different from the young talent who talked and laughed freely at the banquet just now. He finally looks a little young, which made the big guys feel a little more balanced.
After Yao Gang finished teasing, Yu Pengfei also joked a few words, naturally complimenting Zhao Guoyang a few words.
After the two finished speaking, Consul General Luan smiled and said, Hehe, Comrade Xiao Zhao is really good. He knows a lot about the politics and culture of Samba, and he speaks and behaves like a general, especially when he speaks Portuguese. In terms of level, I can almost catch up with Teacher Zhang.
After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang quickly said humbly: Consul General Luan, I don't dare to be this. I have only learned a little bit of Portuguese, so I can't compare with Teacher Zhang.
Seeing Zhao Guoyang's humility, several big brothers nodded secretly in their hearts without saying anything.
Needless to say, this young man has strong abilities, but the difficulty is that he doesn't have any sense of youthfulness, which is really a rare thing.
Zhang Yufang, who was sitting behind Zhao Guoyang, chuckled lightly and said, Guoyang, don't be modest. When you were translating for Mayor Huang and Mr. Baptista just now, I heard them all by the side. .”
Your vocabulary and translation accuracy are no worse than mine. I see, you are more than enough to teach Portuguese at our Aurora University...
