Pei Yue and Tian Shao were going to the city, which was also the terminal station of the train station. After arriving at the station, they followed the flow of people and walked out of the train station. Since they were not in a hurry, they deliberately walked behind so that they would not be crowded.
.
After leaving the train station and going outside, Tian Shao looked at the busy traffic on the street and the rows of high-rise buildings and shops, and finally felt the modern atmosphere.
Pei Yue saw her staring intently at the cars and high-rise buildings, and was a little worried that she would be fascinated by the prosperity of the port city. Putting aside his worries, Pei Yue said: "Xiao Shao, let's go, let's go to the front to make a call."
When he came to a newsstand, Pei Yue first gave him a dollar and then dialed Xing Shaohui's number. Tian Shao stood in front of the newsstand and read. What he saw was a comic newspaper with a huge "Detective Furukawa" written on it.
A smile appeared on Tian Shao's face. It seemed that the sales of her comic in Hong Kong City were more popular than expected. She picked up the comic and browsed it, and found that the supplement was a comic called "Bruce Lee".
Tian Shao was a little confused, Bruce Lee? Could it be the martial arts star Bruce Lee? She had read many comics, but mainly those from Sakura Country and Pretty Country, and very few comics from Hong Kong and Taiwan. But now that she is in this era, and she
If you want to open a comics company here, you must understand the current situation in this industry. Of course, you must also understand the situation in Hong Kong City.
After Pei Yue made the call, he saw Tian Shao picking things in front of newspapers and periodicals. He walked over and asked, "Why did you buy these?"
"I want to see what types of comics are popular here in Hong Kong City."
Pei Yue didn't object, and he took Tian Shao forward after paying the money. The billboards were all written in Cantonese, and Tian Shao even guessed what they meant. However, these were of no use, and Pei Yue could understand them.
He would say that all she needs to do is follow closely and not get lost.
After walking for about ten minutes, Pei Yue stopped under a tree next to a small shop, and then said to Tian Shao, "Let's wait here!"
Tian Shao said unhappily: "Didn't you say that someone would come to pick us up when we arrived in Hong Kong City, why do you have to wait for us?"
The sun was like a furnace, and she and Pei Yue were sweating all the way. They had to rush on their way just now, but now they felt like they were heating up when they were standing outside. It was the same, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Pei Yue explained: "He was originally going to pick us up at the train station, but was called out by the manager for some unknown reason. He left a message at the front desk, saying he would be back soon."
"Which bank does he work at?"
Pei Yue pointed to the impressive bank opposite and said, "That's the one."
Tian Shao looked over and saw that the name above was ‘Standard Chartered Bank’. OK, Standard Chartered Bank, forty years later it still has a branch in Shanghai!
Tian Shao asked curiously: "He works at Standard Chartered Bank. Why don't we go to the bank and wait here? Are there any concerns?"
For a big bank like this, there must be air conditioning installed in the lobby. They go in and blow the air conditioner while waiting. It's so comfortable. Standing on the side of the road in the bright sun, people are almost smoking, and they feel so stupid.
Pei Yue said: "These foreign-funded companies are very powerful and look down on mainlanders. I don't want you to be offended."
But as soon as he said this, he realized something was wrong. He was very sure that he didn't say the name of the bank just now. How did Tian Shao know that it was called Standard Chartered Bank.
Tian Shao didn't care so much and asked: "That person's name and position?"
"Xing Shaohui, business manager."
After Tian Shao heard this, he pulled Pei Yue towards Standard Chartered Bank. As soon as he arrived at the door of the bank, Tian Shao said to the doorman: "Hello, We are looking for Xing Shaohui, he is my uncle."
Pei Yue was very confused as to when Tian Shao had learned English and could speak it so well.
The doorman asked with some confusion: "Xing Shaohui?"
After hearing this, Tian Shao knew that Xing Shaohui must have used the English name in the bank. But it was not easy to ask Pei Yue in front of the doorman. She smiled and said Xing Shaohui's position in English, and specifically explained that they had just talked on the phone.
The other party said he would be back soon.
Although Tian Shao was dressed plainly, the doorman did not dare to neglect her when he heard that she spoke fluent English and made a gesture of greeting.
As soon as she walked into the lobby, Tian Shao suddenly felt a chill sweep through her body. She really felt that every pore was opened. It was not easy. It had been three years since she came here and she finally had air conditioning.
The female staff member brought two glasses of water over. When she saw Pei Yue, she couldn't help but glance at him several times. It must be said that the handsome guy attracts attention wherever he goes.
Pei Yue took a look and saw that everyone in the hall was busy and didn't pay attention to them, so he lowered his voice and asked: "Xiao Shao, when did you know English?"
He didn't know about this before today, and this girl hid it too deeply.
"I said I was born with it, do you believe it?"
Pei Yue said helplessly: "Did grandma Yuxiu teach you?"
He changed his mind quickly, remembering that he didn’t know who was going to investigate Grandma Yuxiu at the beginning. But thanks to him, he did the investigation, and he had an excuse for doing some outrageous things after knowing Grandma Yuxiu’s identity.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Otherwise, do you really think I am born with this skill?"
Pei Yue felt that Tian Shao was lucky to have met Comrade Yuxiu when she was a child. Otherwise, her talents would not have been put to use: "You speak English so well that even the students at the School of Foreign Languages can't speak it well."
He once saw a student from the School of Foreign Languages entertaining foreign guests. The student spoke well, but not as well as Tian Shao. Tian Shao spoke English like a bird singing.
When Tian Shao heard about the Foreign Languages Institute, he smiled and took out the fifty dollars from his bag.
Pei Yue asked: "Dollar, where did you come from?"
Tian Shao told the whole story, and then said: "If I hadn't been busy with my studies, I would have wanted to go to the Forbidden City to receive foreign tourists. The daily tips alone are a huge amount of income."
When she said this, her eyes lit up: "Sister Yiqiu and Sister Ningzhen are also starting to learn English. Once they learn it, they can work as tour guides during the winter and summer vacations, and the income will be very objective."
“How can I receive foreign tourists after studying for half a year?”
Tian Shao smiled and said: "You really underestimate their learning ability? After half a year of learning, they will definitely have no problem with basic daily expressions."
Pei Yue didn't mind Tian Shao helping Bao Yiqiu and the others, but he was worried that her health would be too much for her: "You have to go to school and draw comics, so how can you have time to teach them English?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Let them look for relevant information about the scenic spots. After sorting it out, I helped translate it into English. Then I recorded it on a tape. They just need to memorize it from the tape."
With her English level, it is no problem to teach Bao Yiqiu and Mu Ningzhen. However, she is very busy. It is no problem to record relevant content for them to follow, but she does not have so much time for face-to-face teaching.
