Chapter 570 Friendship

"Where do you buy discs? CD discs." Yang Rui and two other foreigners put the CD machine back into the packaging before they came out to ask in English.

His English proficiency is average, and there is no big problem with listening and writing, but his accent is always inaccurate. This is a difficult problem to improve. Just like a child who has been in a novel dialect, it is always difficult to speak Mandarin accurately. There are always some syllables that have problems.

However, the two foreigners were very happy to meet the English-speaking Chinese and smiled and said, "We bought CDs near the university, language university."

"Wudaokou? Yes, I've seen it before, but I didn't pay much attention." Yang Rui patted his head, as if he had just thought of it, and smiled: "You have been in China for a long time, and you have found such a faraway place."

"We have just arrived for a month. Apart from the Great Wall and the King's tomb, we usually only go to the language schools and embassy areas." The young foreigner said and complained impulsively: "Your government management is too harsh. Many places are not allowed to go, as if there are military restricted areas everywhere."

The middle-aged foreigner coughed and said, "Tom, don't talk about these things, don't cause trouble for yourself and this Chinese friend."

"It's okay, China has reformed and opened up. What you said will not cause me trouble." Yang Rui said and stopped, saying, "I can recommend a place for you, near Wudaokou, that is, near the Language and Culture University. There is a bowling alley built by a Hong Kong company, and there is a buffet. In China, it is a very good entertainment place."

"It's great, where exactly is it? Do you have an address?" The middle-aged foreigner seemed to be interested in bowling, while the young Tom was lacking in interest.

"Wait a minute, I'll write the address for you." Yang Rui wrote down the address of his bowling alley and handed it to the middle-aged foreigner. After thinking about it, he said, "My name is Yang Rui. I often go to that bowling alley. If you can't find an opponent in the stadium, you can ask at the service desk."

It is boring to play bowling alone, and the Rockefeller Foundation has sent a few people to China in total. Middle-aged foreigners are very happy to have a bowling enthusiast like Yang Rui.

On the other hand, finally coming to a strange country and making a local friend is something that everyone on earth likes to do. It’s like a Chinese who went to Kenya. If he could make friends with a Kenyan or even play table tennis, it would be a good life experience.

The middle-aged foreigner shook hands with Yang Rui happily, handed him a business card, and said, "You can also call me. I will have a break after noon every day and also a weekend. By the way, my name is Jerry."

"Tom and Jerry? Are you Jerry?" Yang Rui silently praised the names of cats and mouse.

The uncle named after the mouse was not smart at all, and said in surprise: "Do you know? A movie between Tom and Jerry?"

Jerry, who just arrived in China, is still in a typical American mindset and feels that the people of backward countries are like living in prisons. Obviously, even if the living standards of people of backward countries are not as good as those of prisons in developed countries, it is still okay for the tyrants of backward countries to air transport Wuchang fish and other things.

Yang Rui smiled and replied "Yes".

What he has watched is naturally animation. He doesn't know if there are any movies between cats and mice. Just replying is the best choice.

The young Tom laughed and said, "Tom is my name, Jerry is his middle name. Since I arrived at the company, everyone has called Jerry."

Jerry shrugged and said, "Jerry is my grandfather's name. In that era, Tom and Jerry of MGM have not been released yet."

"But when you were born, Tom and Jerry had just been released shortly after." Tom unceremoniously revealed his colleague's secrets.

Jerry said helplessly: "Then I'm going to ask my parents. They want to give my grandfather's name, so I can only accept it, right?"

"They may have met in the cinema, or they may have decided to have a baby after seeing Tom and Jerry." What Tom said seemed very connotative.

It was probably not the first time Jerry heard him say this. He smiled generously, made a call, and said to Yang Rui: "Call me if you have time."

"See you in the bowling alley." Yang Rui said goodbye to the two of them happily.

Bangladeshi Godda could understand English. He looked at Yang Rui and two Americans, smiling and even gave each other business cards, and finally stopped.

This difficulty is indeed a bit too great for him.

The price of Walkman is much cheaper than that of CD machines, but not that cheaper. Including the allowance, Godda can only buy two units a month, but it would be a little too expensive to ask him to give a woman half a month's salary at one time.

Godard realized that the trick of giving gifts might not work—but maybe he could use his own charm?

Goda subconsciously looked in the mirror and looked at Yang Rui again, thinking that it was still not reliable.

In this way, I can only rely on my talent - Goda recalled the chat between Yang Rui and the Americans, and felt guilty inexplicably guilty.

"Maybe they are brothers and sisters." Godda comforted himself so much, and mustered up the courage to walk forward.

"Oh, Mr. Goda, is the five-nut mooncake delicious?" Yang Rui faced Goda calmly.

"It's OK."

"The Mid-Autumn Festival in China is the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month. If you want to give someone a gift, it is very suitable to send mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is in line with Chinese tradition and is not expensive. Bangladesh has been better in the past two years. Is the electricity consumption in cities tight?" Yang Rui faced Goda as if he showed off a dagger.

Godda looked dazed: "What?"

"I mean, if the electricity consumption in cities is stable, you can buy some electrical appliances and bring them back. If the electricity is tight, you can only buy some small gifts with Chinese characteristics. This friendship store has subsidies from the Chinese government. Of course, some goods are not available, but some goods are subsidized. After all, it is a friendship store, just to reflect the friendship of the Chinese people." Yang Rui said, asking with concern: "Do you live in Dhaka? I remember Dhaka is the largest city in Bangladesh, what's the environment there?"

"It's okay." Godda had ten thousand grass horses running through his heart.

He knew that Yang Rui was different from ordinary Chinese. Ordinary Chinese could not speak a complete word when they saw foreigners. If he spoke Chinese, he would often get the look of "seeing ghosts".

But Yang Rui's understanding of Bangladesh did surprise Godda. There are too many countries in this world, and China knows too little about foreign countries. Even in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Godda has encountered Bangladesh's administrative officials.

Bangladesh is just a new country in the South Asian subcontinent. It has a large area and a large population, but it is an image small country to the world.

Godda never felt sad that his country was underestimated. Just a few years ago, this country itself did not exist. Moreover, if a diplomat, if he cried every time his country was despised, he would probably not be able to go home to the United Nations for a meeting.

However, this is the first time that Godda has been discriminated against at the "national level" in China, and Godda's mood has also declined at the national level in an instant.

Looking at Yang Rui, Goda suddenly realized that the Chinese people were so simple and ordinary Chinese people were so friendly.

"Did Mr. Goda come to buy electrical appliances? I recommend the small appliances in the middle, whether they are American ovens or Italian coffee machines, which have a lot of subsidies. If you calculate it, it is probably the same as the price you bought at a duty-free airport." Yang Rui said and laughed, saying, "Mr. Goda's family conditions are very good. You are from a diplomat family."

"No, I'm not." Godda finally turned pale and was repelled by Yang Rui. Bangladesh is more similar to India in terms of culture. At the same time, they also have a caste system similar to India. It is not as strict as India, but the social class division is already obvious enough. Godda, who works as a small staff member in the Chinese embassy and consulate, naturally cannot have a high caste, nor does he have a diplomatic family background. Yang Rui's words spoke precisely about Godda's pain.

Recalling the ridicule he received during his studies and the exclusion he received in the consulate, Goda was so heavy that he no longer had the desire to hunt for beauty. He forced a few words and left the friendship store dejectedly.

Yao Le looked at his back and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with him? Why are you unhappy?"

"I tried my best to find that you didn't even look at him, so I was sad." Yang Rui said seriously.

Yao Le thought carefully and blushed.
