good old days

Chapter 494 Belittle all the way

Jiang Xinyu rushed to the Capital Hotel early the next morning. Chang Zhenzhen, who was wearing a floral dress, was chatting happily with people from other schools.

In addition to six students from three universities, there were also four translators from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Not long after everyone greeted each other, the members of the education inspection team came out of the Capital Hotel at seven o'clock. Among a group of foreigners, there were three men and women of oriental appearance, a young man, and a man and a woman. middle aged.

After everyone introduced each other and said hello, Jiang Xinyu realized that the middle-aged woman with oriental appearance was Mrs. Brooke.

Although Mrs. Brooke wears glasses, her image is very different from that of most middle-aged female cadres in the country. Most of the female cadres in the country are similar to Zhou Qi's mother, with ear-length short hair and dark and very plain clothes. Looks serious.

Mrs. Brooke's long hair was permed into big waves, her face was put on makeup, and her lips were painted with lipstick. There was a Van Cleef & Arpels brooch hanging on her red shirt, and she was holding a M&S bag in her hand. Look. It looks intellectual and fashionable, and the return rate is quite high.

There were more than twenty people in the group, and there was a lot of fighting on the road.

A professor suggested: "Yang, we want to go to the Great Wall. If you don't want to go to the market, why don't we go in two directions?"

After deliberation for a while, the inspection team was divided into two waves. Jiang Xinyu and Chang Zhenzhen naturally chose to follow Mrs. Brooke's team that the principal specifically mentioned.

The number of people instantly decreased by half, and it felt much more refreshing when we walked onto the road.

Mrs. Brook took her nephew and specially introduced it to Jiang Xinyu and others: "This is my nephew. His Chinese name is Yang Guangrong. He was born in country M and grew up there. His high school studies have ended and he is going to return to China to study. We are considering which college to enroll him in."

Jiang Xinyu instantly came up with the idea that perhaps the inspection team asked young people like them to serve as tour guides in order to provide Yang Guangrong with advice on which school to study.

Yang Guangrong is very tall and speaks Chinese very well. "Hello, please take good care of me in the future."

After a simple greeting, Jiang Xinyu keenly caught the arrogance in Yang Guangrong's eyes.

He was wearing a Rolex watch in his hand. The green dial and silver body looked expensive and luxurious. A sports suit from a famous luxury brand made him look youthful and energetic. This outfit was not sold in China.

Obviously, this is a "rich second generation" who has lacked everything since childhood.

This word has not appeared on the land of China at this period, but Yang Guangrong in front of him has these words written all over his body.

Mrs. Brooke seems to have a lot of affection for her hometown and has some impressions of many alleys in the capital.

When we arrived at the lively neighborhood and saw the grand scene of stalls being set up, a professor communicated in English: “I remember there was no free trade market on the street last time I came here.”

"Yes, China has now promulgated regulations on individual industrial and commercial households, which has allowed people to engage in business activities."

Yang Guangrong joined the exchange in English, "It's far behind compared with foreign countries. It's not convenient to do anything here. You have to pay for shopping in department stores. It's really outrageous. I really doubt whether my uncle and dad will invest in China." Correct." Yang Guangrong's father was also in the crowd. He never said anything. He mostly watched while walking on the road and sitting in the car. After hearing what his son said, he said: "It doesn't matter whether it's correct or not. Don't worry. If you see one-sidedness, completely deny everything here.”

Yang Guangrong said disdainfully: "Dad, didn't you say yesterday that the other party would establish some kind of guild organization in the plan? Isn't that outrageous? This land is full of people who have never seen what a five-star hotel is like. If According to their thinking, even if the hotel is built and incorporates the "characteristics" of this place, the New Gate Hotel will look nondescript."

Chang Zhenzhen didn't understand it at all. The two translators understood it, but they didn't say anything. They have no right to interfere with the Xinmen Hotel. They can only pretend that they have not heard the complaints of these foreign businessmen. If their rebuttal offends others and affects cooperation, aren't they causing trouble for their own people? So just pretend you didn’t hear it.

Jiang Xinyu understood and could see that this young man had a low opinion of this land. But the problems he mentioned do exist, and it is useless to refute them with words. The only way to slap him in the face is with the rapid developments that have followed.

"In the first week of opening, you will receive a free egg if you spend over one yuan in the store. The address is No. 37, Dongfeng Market, Xiyu Dried Fruit from the Western Regions."

After hearing what Yang Guangrong read, Jiang Xinyu looked up at the advertising flyer posted on the wall two meters away.

She posted this advertisement together with Song Yahui. When Yang Guangrong read it out, she thought he would start laughing at his next sentence, but she didn't expect him to smile and say: "I've only been here for a few days, and this is the first one to advertise and promote. Not bad, I finally saw something different.”

There are not enough goods to sell in state-run department stores. If you want to buy something, you have to queue up. It is entirely possible that the goods will be out of stock when your turn comes. When supply exceeds demand, the seller is the boss. This is the case in this land. Yang Guangrong feels that the gap with foreign countries is very big. The service attitude of foreign sales staff is not as good as in this land. With their work attitude, they cannot work in the service industry abroad.

"The south gate of Dongfeng Market is right ahead. Let's go to this store to have a look."

Jiang Xinyu didn't feel so honored to be praised by him in a overlooking tone.

Passing by a courtyard house, Mrs. Brooke said to Yang Guangrong in English: "Your father and I used to live here. This is the ancestral property of the family. It will be returned this year. This place will be repaired later. You can live here when you go to school." "

Yang Guangrong's father stood motionless in front of the courtyard, his eyes full of nostalgia.

Yang Guangrong grew up abroad. He received a Western education and absorbed Western culture. Everything he saw in his eyes was that nothing in this land was as good as abroad. Naturally, he could not understand the feelings of his aunt and his father towards their homeland.

Chang Zhenzhen pushed Jiang Xinyu with her arm and asked in a low voice: "What are they talking about?"

Jiang Xinyu whispered: "The courtyard in front of you is the returned ancestral property of the Yang family. Mrs. Brook asked Yang Guangrong to live here in the future."

Chang Zhen really didn't expect that she really understood it. She looked at the courtyard and saw that in this area, only dignitaries could live in the past.

Along the way, Yang Guangrong complained a lot about this, that, and everywhere. Jiang Xinyu felt bad after hearing this.

When a group of people arrived at the door of her store and saw the decoration inside, they heard him comment again: "It's a bit unique, but the decoration is still a bit crude. The products have no packaging and they don't look like high-end goods. But this The salesperson has a bright future, has a smile on her face, and at least has a correct work attitude."

Jiang Xinyu: Thank you!

Is it possible that he was smiling from ear to ear because business was so good?
