"Hello. 【 】" George, who was wearing thick hair oil, greeted Sioux City.

Since coming to China, he has seen serious and upright Chinese men, serious and upright Chinese women, and serious and upright Chinese children, but he has never seen a Chinese who doesn't care.

Su Cheng's free expression and movements were not pretended, which made George very fond of him.The etiquette in formal occasions in China is very good, but it is sad to live in formal occasions forever.

Su Cheng raised his head, smiled at him, pointed to his pancakes, and said in English: "I drove here all the way, didn't eat breakfast, I'm hungry."

Hearing him spit out such a long string of English all at once, including familiar things such as driving, George was very happy, and immediately spoke in English: "Is this your snack? I have eaten a lot of pure-tasting bread, but I haven't seen it yet." Chance to try local food.”

Domestic officials have always wanted to make foreign businessmen feel at home.In their eyes, domestic food is really not worth mentioning, and it is far inferior to providing Western-style meals that the other party is familiar with.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "There are all kinds of snacks sold outside the door, and you can also call for room service."

His English in college was mediocre, and he was not a genius, but he was still a hard-working kid.However, Peking University Sioux City in this life is a memory genius, with nearly 2 words in his head, some professional words are uncommon and boring.

Of course, the thinking mode of talking with George is from later generations, and the grammar habitually used in Sioux City is also from later generations.

The addition of the two made his English level jump to a higher level.

George was happy because he was able to talk normally. After all, an interpreter is an interpreter, and he has the discipline of foreign affairs, which is very boring.In addition, the vocabulary she uses is extremely weird, many of which are old words before the start of the Cold War, which sounds like old movies.

Several leaders looked at each other in blank dismay, and it was not easy to get angry in front of the foreign guests. It was not until Su Cheng went to go through the room formalities that someone winked at the waiter.

So, the waiter said to Su Cheng alertly: "Sorry, we don't have any vacant rooms."

"It's really gone?" Su Cheng also saw the leader's wink.However, he belongs to the oil system and does not need to pay attention to local officials at all.

"Su Cheng, what's the matter?" George suddenly asked. Seeing that Su Cheng frowned, he thought he had caused trouble.During a week in China, this happened more than once.

Su Cheng shrugged, and said, "They said there are no rooms left."

"How come, there are several rooms vacant on my floor." George said to the provincial party committee officials next to him.

The latter explained helplessly: "For safety reasons, we didn't arrange people on that floor."

"I believe that China is a very safe country, and the Chinese are friendly and kind. There is no need to prepare anything specially for me. Since there is no room, let Mr. Su Cheng live on my floor." George stayed for a few days, saying He was extremely proficient, and asked Su Cheng: "Is it possible?"

"No problem, thank you very much." Su Cheng handed over the letter of introduction again.

With someone's gesture, the waiter finally went through the check-in procedures.

Su Cheng winked at the accompanying officials, continued to smile at George, and asked, "Do you live here alone?"

If at the beginning, he just met this foreigner unintentionally, chatting a few words and testing his English level, after getting acquainted with him, he intentionally got close to him.

These days, China is still bound by various rules and regulations. It is difficult to do many things by yourself, and it is as simple as farting through foreign friends.It is very convenient to know a relative overseas or have a foreign friend.

George was also interested in chatting, and said with a smile: "They all went to inspect the factory. We produce and import chemical products, mainly various oils, and ethylene propylene and so on."

"Then we are colleagues. Oh, I forgot to introduce. I work in Shengli Oilfield, a large-scale oil extraction and refinery company. We produce crude oil, gas oil, lubricating oil, etc., and propane and ethylene are also involved..." The person who said these words At that time, Su Cheng intentionally brought in a few chemical terminologies to prove that he was indeed an insider.

These are the ones he used in school.

Sure enough, George's eyes lit up. He was here to explore the way, and he immediately said: "I have already been to your Daqing Oilfield, and this time I really intend to go to Shengli Oilfield. Can you introduce it to me?"

"of course."

During the question and answer period, the two started talking.

George's company is a major importer of chemical products and purchases a large amount of petrochemical products such as crude oil and ethylene from the Chinese market every year.His visit to China this time is for the purpose of inspecting and expanding the market.

They have always been purchased and sold through China National Chemicals Import and Export Corporation.However, this approach is obviously not transparent enough.

Since leaving Beijing*, George has been thinking about how to get in touch with local people and local businesses on the train.

Su Cheng just delivered it to the door.

For George, what is the cost of chatting? It would be great if he could learn a little more about China.

Before Sioux City intervened, the officials of the chemical import and export company who accompanied George and his party were still very calm. When they talked about the specific oil products, the official began to cough desperately, and he almost stepped forward to pull people. Officials instead waited and watched.

Su Cheng didn't seem to hear it at all.

Cui Hongguo was helpless watching his junior brother's performance, but envied his freedom.Nowadays, rich state-owned enterprises don’t pay much attention to local officials, like the oil system, which has its own school, its own hospital, and under the Shengli Oil Field Headquarters, there are also the Public Security Department, Judicial Department, Intermediate People’s Court and Procuratorate. It is not afraid of the local government at all.On the contrary, if local governments want to use more oil, get more means of production, and sell more machines, they have to beg and coax them.

As for the chemical import and export company, this kind of Bodhisattva belongs to the type that is beneficial to offer, but not beneficial to kick away.No one will give up the immediate benefits to please them.For super-large enterprises such as Shengli Oilfield, it is common for customers to bully their stores.

On the other hand, George, chatting more and more happily, has no intention of going upstairs to rest at all.If it weren't for taking care of Su Cheng's hearing, his speech speed could be twice as fast, even so, he had reached the limit of translation.

After coming to China for so long, George finally found the feeling of speaking normally.The female English teacher's grammar and word usage were fine, but the words themselves really made him feel uncomfortable.It’s a feeling that’s hard to put into words, like someone from the 30s talking to someone from the 70s, or someone from the 70s talking to someone from the 00s.

Su Cheng's so-called new words were actually learned at school.He has the same background as the female translator who does the translation, and is also due to the backwardness of school textbooks. Many of the words he speaks now are the buzzwords in the late 80s and early 90s.It seems that the school is inherently preparing students for time-travel and rebirth.

"Sue, are you on vacation?" George asked suddenly.

"That's it."

"Can you be my personal interpreter?" George asked expectantly.From his point of view, the translators around him are all assigned by the negotiating company, and the information is screened too much.Although Su Cheng is also Chinese, as long as he does not belong to a chemical import and export company, it is good for him to get more information.

Moreover, the way the other party uses language makes people more comfortable.

As he spoke, he turned to the female teacher and explained: "You are also very good at translating, but Su understands my cultural background and the company's business better. You can continue to translate for them, but Su Cheng will do it for me. translate."

The female teacher was still speaking Chinese to the others, but Su Cheng had already stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "No problem, I'm more than happy."

George and Sioux City shook hands and said with a smile: "How about $100 per day for translation? I will stay for about 10 days."

"No problem." Su Cheng nodded.

The official of the chemical import and export company next to him heard the translation, and saw Sioux Cheng and George shaking hands, and his lungs exploded.

He didn't want to be disrespectful in front of foreign guests, suppressed his anger and waited for George to go upstairs, and couldn't wait to yell at Su Cheng: "Are you still talking about foreign affairs discipline?"
