Rebirth: Outstanding
Chapter 210: dinner
"My dear, you don't seem to be in a good mood?" With the help of the maid, Mrs. Beth put on a simple and atmospheric cotton dress in front of the changing mirror, and then walked to Shi Zhiyi personally to help her husband He straightened the hem of his shirt and asked gently.
Shi Zhiyi put his watch on his hand: "It's nothing, I just don't think we need to meet that young man named Song Tianyao again."
"Why?" Mrs. Beth straightened up: "If you don't want to go, we can push it away."
"No, there is no reason to refuse. This is just my own feeling. After all, it is difficult for the young man to guess what he is trying to do. It would be very difficult to talk to him as an ordinary person. People...It feels like the senior who interviewed me when I was invited to join the student club of the Ansai Society when I was in college in London. If you can read the hidden meaning in his words, it means that he will think you are qualified. Become his friend, his social friend, or a smart person who is valued enough by him. If I still have the same leisure time as when I was in college, I wouldn’t mind chatting with such a young man, but now I’m not in the mood to care about him. What do you think." Shi Zhiyi turned and turned his back to the mirror, so that his wife could help him smooth the trace of the indentation on his back, and said in his mouth.
Compared to her husband’s noncommittal to Song Tianyao, Mrs. Beth has a more favorable impression of Song Tianyao. Without the help of this young man, she would not be a philanthropist or hydrological scientist. She would still be just the wife of officials from the London family. An aboriginal woman from the land of prisoners in St Kilda, Australia.
She returned to London some time ago and was hired as a senior researcher at the London Hydrological Sciences Research Institute. Before returning to London, she became a visiting professor at the University of Hong Kong because of the survey report on Hong Kong’s water sources and attended the Anglican Cathedral in London. At the charity dinner, the jealousy and envy in the eyes of the officials’ wives at the banquet can hardly be hidden. They still have to rely on their husbands or parents to harvest invitations. The name on the invitation must also be written with the husband’s name or title first. Mrs. Beth can already attend this kind of dinner alone without the company of Shi Zhiyi, and the invitation will not be the wife of the director of the Hong Kong Colonial Government Industrial and Commercial Administration Department of the British Overseas Colony Department. A low-status name, the Anglican Church in London used a short term to conclude on her status in London, God’s devout believer, hydrological scientist, and philanthropist Beth Mason.
"My dear, I think that young man is very good. He gave Miss Angie one of the three promoters of Oxfam. The reason is that Miss Angie can return to London with such an identity. I think about this. He is a bit similar to you when you were young, and has the same gentleman style." Mrs. Beth personally helped Shi Zhiyi get the suit jacket, and said with a smile.
Shi Zhiyi put on his suit jacket and looked at his wife with open hands, showing an exaggerated expression of shock: "Similar to me? Similar to me when I was young? Beth, dear, do you know what you are talking about?"
"No, it looks like you are still too far behind. You are the handsomest and most gentleman I have ever seen in my life." Mrs. Beth stepped forward, kissed her husband naturally, and said with a smile.
"I have to admit that this guy does make my wife very good. Go meet him and see what he is going to say to us. Is it possible to surprise us like we saw him for the first time." Shi Zhiyi gently hugged his wife, walked outside the house, and said in his mouth.
But in his heart, he didn't have any expectations for the meeting tonight.
When the two arrived at the restaurant on the top of Victoria Peak, Song Tianyao was already standing neatly and gracefully outside the restaurant, waiting for them to arrive. Seeing them appear, he politely greeted him.
After Song Tianyao personally accompanied Shi Zhiyi and Mrs. Beth into the restaurant and took a seat, Song Tianyao waved to the waiter. The waiter brought an exquisite gift box and placed it on the table. Song Tianyao said to Mrs. Beth:
"I went to the United States not long ago and only returned this morning. I specially brought back some American souvenirs as a small gift for Mrs. Beth. Thank you for taking care of Angie Peris during your stay in London. I called her. She asked me to thank you once again for inviting her to accompany you to the London Anglican Charity Dinner."
"Thank you." Mrs. Beth glanced at her husband and thanked Song Tianyao with a decent smile, and then opened the outer packaging of the gift box to her face. Inside was a set of sterling silver tea sets with exquisite patterns: "Very beautiful decorations. "
"The sterling silver tea set for elegant women's afternoon tea produced by Tiffany in the United States is very popular among upper-class women in the United States. I heard that many American female stars use this tea set to drink afternoon tea. The current wife of the President has to ask her servants to line up to buy a set. It is also a coincidence that the wife of the President of the United States is also called Beth." Song Tianyao said to Mrs. Beth.
Dealing with British people is different from Chinese people. If the opposite is a Chinese person, Song Tianyao might have to say some humble words that small gifts are disrespectful, but to a ghost like the British, if you say that small gifts are not worth money, they will take it seriously. , You have to tell them directly where the gifts you give are valuable, so that they and their friends can brag about and introduce them.
"I like it very much, thank you, Song." Mrs. Beth said to Song Tianyao: "The last time I returned to London, I met Miss Angie. She is now completing her final internship at Clifford Chance in London. "The Times" The chief legal counsel, a devout believer in the Anglican Church in London, Ms. Juliana Abe, after learning of Miss Angie’s good deeds in Hong Kong, offered to serve as her intern mentor." Mrs. Beth told Song Tianyao about Angie Peris The situation in London.
Ghost sister lawyer Angie Peris, Song Tianyao is not at all worried that she will lack a great future. Even if the mind is temporarily trapped in Hong Kong, it will only be short-term. Compared with those of Chu Xiaoxin, Yan Xiong, and Jin Yalei. People, in fact, only Guimei lawyer accompanies Song Tianyao from a small person who is worried about whether he will be abandoned tomorrow, and then smashes to death on the street, to complete the small businessman who can smoothly borrow the momentum to exchange for a position that is not high or low. The transformation also witnessed Song Tianyao's start and was deeply involved in it. In a sense, Angie Peris provided Song Tianyao in the whole incident as much as Chu Xiaoxin, so Song Tianyao felt that she was gently behind to help her. Give it a boost, so that this British girl who helped herself can have the opportunity to enter one of the top five law firms in London and study with top British solicitors for a period of time. It is very necessary to be a person who knows how to be grateful.
"You shouldn't just want to ask me and my wife to talk about the weather in London. Let's talk about it. Going to the United States has shown you something." Shi Zhiyi waited for his wife to chat with Song Tianyao on irrelevant topics before using it. Some hoarse and dull voice said to Song Tianyao.
Song Tianyao smiled at Shi Zhiyi: "I have done homework for two months and found a problem. If I want to do some legal small business, even if Hong Kong is a Chinese territory and is now a British colony, I have to follow the rules of the United States. Come on, to be honest, when I discovered this problem, Chief Shi, the first thing I felt was that the position you are sitting in now seemed uncomfortable."
"The rule of the United States is that you want to make American money, and you must also make Americans make money, and not less than the money you make." Shi Zhiyi nodded in agreement: "Because the whole world can't now Ignore the United States, just as many years ago, the whole world could not ignore the Great Britain Empire."
Song Tianyao took out a small notepad from his pocket and handed it to Shi Zhiyi: "I have a little idea, I hope Director Shi can give me a little opinion. I don't think the benefits should be enjoyed by one person alone. Selfish people are If there are no friends, he needs to have a sense of social responsibility and work hard to benefit more people, such as helping those who don’t know what to do because of the downturn in business."
"What you said reminds me of a past event. The person who said something similar to you last time was a London politician. His speech made me drowsy." Shi Zhiyi teased Song Tianyao. I took the notepad and opened it. It was beautiful Chinese characters written by Song Tianyao with a pen, but for Shi Zhiyi, a Chinese master, Chinese characters were not difficult.
The first sentence that caught his eyes made Shi Zhiyi's pupils shrink slightly:
"Under the double blow of the embargo and the San Francisco contract with Japan, where should Hong Kong's manufacturing industry go."
This is a question that young people who only want to do small legal business should consider? At least you need to be the leader of an industry association to be qualified to write such articles, right?
