Chapter 2358 Whitney's idiom test

"Long, are you going to America?" She asked after hanging up the phone, but Whitney was still there.

"Didn't you hear everything? What's the matter?" Chen Kangjie looked up at Whitney and asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I want to go with you, I don't know if I can." Whitney said coyly.

Chen Kangjie looked at Whitney for a few seconds, and then chuckled softly: "Are you homesick? I want to go back and have a look, and save an air ticket by the way."

"I...I'm not homesick. I just want to go to work with you. I'm familiar with Washington. Don't you think it's more convenient to have me with you?" Whitney paused.

Whitney's pause seemed to have something to say, but it was inconvenient to say it.

Of course, Chen Kangjie didn't have any hobbies or interests in inquiring about the privacy of his subordinates, so if people wanted to say something, they could say it, and if they didn't want to say it, they could say whatever they wanted.It's not that as a boss, you don't necessarily need to take into account the feelings of your subordinates.

"It seems that I didn't have any inconvenience when I went to the United States before. There seems to be no shortage of people who understand the United States around me, hehe, let alone, you are a girl, right?" Chen Kangjie said with a smile.

"I don't care, I'm your assistant now, and that's for you. You've all come to the United States, so why should I stay in China? There's no use for a hero." Whitney pouted, tenderly Said loudly.

Whitney herself belongs to that kind of blond beauty, and when she pouts and acts coquettishly like this, she looks even cuter and more pitiful.

"Hey, I haven't been in China for a long time, and I have learned the old saying that heroes are useless. It's not bad, not bad, it's rare." Chen Kangjie grabbed Whitney's last sentence and said.

"I know a lot of idioms. During this period of time, I am learning Chinese while working. Oh, not only me, almost everyone in our assistant group is learning Chinese." Whitney's words were somewhat proud and credit-seeking.

"Are you all learning Chinese? Then, according to this, we can communicate and talk about work without English in the future? What idioms have you learned, just tell me a few." Chen Kangjie joked half-jokingly.

Hearing what Chen Kangjie said, Whitney looked bitter.Although she is already learning Chinese, but after all the time period, she can only say that she has mastered a little bit of simple superficial.In addition, after learning Chinese, Whitney really understood the complexity and difficulty of Chinese. With the same pronunciation, dozens of characters will appear, and the meanings can be exactly the same.Just memorizing those radicals and gestures is quite a challenge for her.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to communicate in Chinese in a short time. Chinese is so profound and exquisite that I still can't understand many simple words." Whitney said embarrassingly.

"It's okay, I can understand this, but didn't you just say that you know a lot of idioms? If you can say ten idioms, I will approve you and me to go to the United States." Chen Kangjie didn't know whether he was trying to make things difficult or wanted to test it Whitney insisted that she speak some idioms.

"Really? Then I'll try my best. If I really haven't achieved it, I hope you can forgive me and raise your hand." Whitney said happily, but when she thought of the difficulty of ten idioms, she hurried Play "vaccination".

Chen Kangjie raised his chin noncommittally, as if encouraging or urging.

"Ups and downs...the fox pretends to be the tiger...the three and the four...the Qin and the Chu...the servants and the servants...the smiles...and this. ...in high spirits, schadenfreude...eight, two short, two short.” Whitney paused to think about every idiom, but he seemed to be out of his wits , her frown has been getting deeper and deeper.

Although he was vaccinated in advance, Whitney still hoped to win this opportunity with his own efforts and ability, rather than Chen Kangjie letting go.She was worried that if she did that, it would leave a very bad impression on Chen Kangjie.

However, Chen Kangjie had a lot of dealings with foreigners, and Whitney's Western accent sounded really obscure. It was really not easy for an ordinary person to understand what she was talking about all at once.This kind of accent and phenomenon often appears in our film and television works. It seems that foreigners speak Chinese. If they don't, they don't look like foreigners.

"Eight, there are still two left, keep going, keep working hard..." Chen Kangjie encouraged Whitney with a smile when he saw that Whitney was almost sweating.

"I thought of one, and I said it straight...is this an idiom?" Chen Kangjie encouraged Whitney to make another one.

Chen Kangjie nodded with a smile, continued to look at Whitney, and then raised a finger, which meant to tell her that there was still one short.

However, after uttering "outspoken", no matter how entangled Whitney was, he could no longer hold back a new idiom.

"What's the matter? Can't you tell? You're only one more away." After a while, Whitney didn't break through, so Chen Kangjie joked, "If you can't tell, then you might not be able to go."

"Long, I racked my brains and couldn't figure it out. Chinese idioms are really too difficult, so can't you accommodate me?" Whitney begged with a pitiful look.

"We have to be trustworthy. If we agree to ten, then there will be ten. I won't break my promise, and you shouldn't play tricks." Chen Kangjie didn't soften his heart just because of Whitney, but instead acted in a business-like manner.

"How can you... I'm a girl, how can you... Oh, my mind is messed up, ah! I thought of one, messed up, yes, messed up, the tenth idiom It’s a mess.” An idiom that popped up inadvertently made Whitney ecstatic, and if it wasn’t for Chen Kangjie sitting opposite her, Whitney would probably jump up with excitement at this time.

Some people may think that this "mess" is not an idiom, but in fact it is really a genuine idiom. It comes from the fifth chapter of "Nie Haihua" by Zeng Pu in the Qing Dynasty: "Look at the books, calligraphy and paintings in the house, and the utensils are well arranged. It's clean and tidy, not like the mess it used to be in the public square."

"It's a mess, hehe, it's really a mess."

"Long, isn't this an idiom? You can't just keep your word. You promised that if I say ten idioms, you will take me to America with you." Whitney thought that Chen Kangjie was going to play tricks, and hurriedly emphasized.

"You, you, it's like you haven't been to the United States. Am I the kind of person who doesn't trust me? Okay, okay, I promise you, you will go with me when the time comes, since you said you are familiar with Washington, then get ready and let me see if you are really familiar." Chen Kangjie pointed to Whitney, then tapped on the table and said.

"That's great, long, thank you, I will not let you down, don't worry. I am so happy today, I will study Chinese more seriously and hard in the future, and strive to be able to use it with you at will one day Chinese exchange." Whitney clapped his hands excitedly and said excitedly.

Chen Kangjie wants Whitney to say ten idioms, which is actually a kind of encouragement to foreigners who are learning Chinese.

As a native of China, Chen Kangjie knows how difficult it is to learn Chinese.Not to mention a foreigner, even those who grew up in the land of China, not many dare to say that they have learned Chinese well.

It is really that Chinese culture is too broad and profound, and it has a long history.A large part of the essence of Chinese culture is contained in our idioms.A book of idioms is not only an interesting telling of our history, but also a bearing and interpretation of our cultural spirit.

Whether you are a native or a foreigner, as long as you have a good grasp of our idioms, you can basically say that you have learned Chinese well.

Chen Kangjie knows that he has inspired many foreigners to learn Chinese, so since Whitney and the others are his assistants, they should learn better than others.Otherwise, wouldn't he be named Chen Kangjie to a certain extent?

Chen Kangjie also believes that with today's episode, even if Whitney doesn't say anything, she will really study Chinese more attentively in the future. This point, Chen Kangjie asked himself, has achieved his goal.

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to that day. By the way, tell other people that since I am my assistant, I hope they can also learn Chinese. Maybe one day I will do random checks." Chen Kangjie urged .

"No problem, I will pass on your instructions." Whitney put his feet together, saluted Chen Kangjie nondescriptly.

"Okay, you can go out now, I'm going to continue working." The goal was achieved, and Chen Kangjie was about to end the conversation with Whitney.

However, after finally having such an opportunity to have a private conversation with Chen Kangjie, how could Whitney end up leaving so easily?No, she still wanted to continue talking to Chen Kangjie.

Even if he couldn't talk to Chen Kangjie more, Whitney felt that it was a very happy and happy thing to just look at him at such a close distance.How many people in the world look forward to such an opportunity, but they are unlucky, and Whitney himself feels that he is very lucky.

"Long, can I ask you a question?" Whitney asked without moving.

"Okay, what do you want to ask me, I know, I'll answer you." Whitney's enthusiasm for learning Chinese has been mobilized, and Chen Kangjie can't easily extinguish it, otherwise the previous part will be for nothing .

""日" in Chinese means the sun as well as time and date. The dictionary says so, but why do some people use this word to curse people? For example, how can I explain it when I miss you?"

"Ahem..." Chen Kangjie almost choked on Whitney's nonsensical question.
