Jing Jing's premonition was quite accurate. What Rutenberg brought her the next day was indeed three aunts over 50 years old and with waistlines over four feet. ≥ Fortunately, because these aunts did not understand English, and Jing Jing
Not being good at Portuguese, in order to facilitate communication between them, Rutenberg also brought a young female translator, who was able to find some common language with Ning Jing.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Mrs. Qin from China, and her husband is Mr. Qin Hai, who is meeting with your husbands today. This is Mrs. McChrystal, and this is Mrs. Foggin,
This is Mrs. Iverson, and this is the translator I found for you, Miss Su Ze. I wish you a happy day." Rutenberg introduced both parties with a smile.
At this point, Jing Jing could only endure her displeasure, forced a smile and nodded to the ladies: "Hello."
"Hello, Mrs. Qin from China." Several women had proud looks on their faces and nodded slightly to Jingjing, which was regarded as saying hello.
Qin Hai wanted to negotiate with several entrepreneurs, and it was naturally inconvenient for Ning Jing to participate. It was not that he wanted to hide anything from Ning Jing, but that Ning Jing was a scientific researcher and did not know much about business operations.
With so much interest, it was a bit torturous for her to accompany Ning Jing in the negotiations. He proposed to Rutenberg that he hoped that these entrepreneurs would bring their wives to go shopping with Ning Jing. Firstly, to find a companion for Ningjing, and secondly,
It also wanted Jing Jing to see how the wives of other wealthy businessmen lived, and learn how to be a noble lady.
However, Qin Hai's plan was wrong from the beginning. As Ning Jing pointed out, he did not consider that these entrepreneurs were already in their fifties and sixties, and their wives were all aunts. With
There is a generation gap in Ning Jing. Another thing he did not expect was that when several entrepreneurs told their wives to accompany Ning Jing shopping, they did not explain the identity of Qin Hai, only saying that they were a partner from China. Several entrepreneurs
When Madam came over and took a look at Ning Jing's attire, she felt a sense of contempt in her heart. The young oriental woman in front of her was wearing clothes that did not belong to the world's top brands, and there was no platinum necklace weighing one kilogram hanging around her neck. She was clearly a
How can a poor person with such a wealth deserve to go shopping with these ladies?
One more thing to say is that if Ning Jing was ugly and had a waist as thick as these ladies, the other party might be more willing to accept her. However, Ning Jing is beautiful and has a slim figure. She makes them all feel embarrassed.
, in this situation, how could people have a good face towards her.
Although they had all kinds of disdain in their hearts, the ladies came with a mission, so it was natural that they would not be too indifferent to the tranquility. After the two parties greeted each other, they boarded the business car arranged by Rutenberg and headed to the business street in the center of Sao Paulo.
Jing Jing is not a complete home girl. Normally, she also likes to go shopping with her female companions, enjoying the fun of shopping without shopping. But this time shopping is a torture for her, because this time
The tastes of several of her shopping companions were really very different from hers.
"Mrs. Foggin, what do you think of this bracelet? Does it match me?"
"It matches so well, Mrs. Iverson. I feel like this bracelet was made just for you."
"Really? Let me see the price. It's only 27,000 reais. I must let that damn guy of mine buy it for me."
"Mr. Iverson is so kind to you. My husband would never buy me such expensive jewelry. He used all the money to buy mines and lost it all."
"I will not let my husband invest all his money. He must buy me a piece of jewelry every month, otherwise I will not let him live in peace..."
"I don't dare. The female secretary in his office is just waiting for me to fall out with him so that she can take the opportunity to rise to power..."
"I'm telling you, you have to treat men like this..."
"..."
Jing Jing couldn't understand what they were talking about, but looking at these aunts gesticulating with jewelry on their hands, she could roughly guess something. She didn't understand. These people were already covered in jewelry. Why?
She will also be so obsessed with jewelry and the like. She is also a woman, and she is naturally interested in beautiful things, but she does not think about taking these things as her own. A bracelet worth 27,000 reals, wearing
In the hands of Aunt Iverson, there is no sense of beauty at all, but it makes people feel vulgar. With this money, wouldn't it be more valuable to buy a few experimental instruments?
In the midst of boredom, Ning Jing could only chat a few words with the translator, Ms. Su Ze. Although Su Ze was quite disdainful of Jing Jing in his heart, after all, Jing Jing was her client, and it was inconvenient for her to be too cold, so she said nothing.
Sentence-by-sentence introduction to Jing Jing's various customs and customs of Sao Paulo, stories about various shops, knowledge of appreciation of various commodities, etc., which opened Jing Jing's horizons a bit.
When they walked into a department store called "Kev", several ladies crowded in front of the jewelry counter. It was said that a new batch of exquisite goods from South Africa had been launched here today. Look at their shouts and screams.
Jing Jing couldn't help but feel cold at the look. Su Ze also deliberately stepped forward to take a look. Although with her income, it was impossible to get her hands on such jewelry, but looking at it can satisfy her craving, right?
"Mrs. Qin, don't you want to go and have a look?" Su Ze asked Jing Jing.
"No, I have no interest in jewelry." Jing Jing said lightly. Seeing Su Ze's disappointed look, she smiled again and said, "You go and accompany Mrs. Fujin and the others, maybe they need you more.
"
"What about you?" Su Ze asked.
"I'll be walking around, don't worry, I won't get lost," Jing Jing said.
Su Ze ran away happily. Jing Jing looked at her back, shook her head, and scolded Qin Hai several times for coming up with such a bad idea, and then began to walk slowly around the mall, with a look of
With an observational attitude, watch the flow of people passing by around you.
"Beautiful lady, do you have time to listen to me introduce a great idea?"
While Jingjing was wandering around, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears. The speaker spoke English, and it sounded pretty standard, not the English with an Iberian Peninsula accent like ordinary Brazilians. Jingjing turned her head.
Look, I saw a middle-aged white man in his 40s standing behind him. He was wearing an old but still clean suit. He had a pair of highly myopic glasses on his nose. He was thin and looked sick.
The look of disaster.
"Sir, are you talking to me?" Jing Jing replied in English.
"Yes, yes, my name is Ka'an. Are you Japanese?" The man said a little incoherently. It was obvious that he wanted to strike up a conversation with Ning Jing as quickly as possible, for fear that Jing Jing would turn around and leave.
Jing Jing looked around and saw people coming and going. Even if this man had any evil motives, he couldn't succeed in this place. She happened to be bored and curious about this man's identity, so she answered calmly.
: "Hello, Mr. Kaan, I am not Japanese, but Chinese."
"Chinese..." Ka'an looked a little disappointed, but since Ning Jing was willing to talk to him, he was still unwilling to give up such an opportunity, so he quickly changed his words: "So you are Chinese, and China is a very great country.
I have always admired China very much. I know that China has the Great Wall and Chinese Kung Fu... Hehehehe!"
As he said that, he made a Chinese martial arts pose on the spot. He didn't know whether he wanted to pose like a white crane with its wings spread out or a black crane with its skin showing its heart. Anyway, it looked weird, a bit like a square dance.
"Mr. Ka'an, just say what you want to say. I... have limited time." Jing Jing turned around and looked at the women milling around in front of the jewelry counter, and sighed inwardly. In fact, she has plenty of time.
, if she had to make a choice between listening to Mr. Kaan talking about Chinese Kung Fu or listening to those aunts talking about jewelry, she would rather choose the former.
"I'm sorry, I won't waste too much of your time. I only need five minutes to introduce you to a great scientific idea." Ka'an said, waving his hands.
Ning Jing frowned her eyebrows. She could conclude that she must have met a "civilian scientist", that is, the legendary "civilian scientist". Ning Jing was no stranger to civil science. Outside the gate of Beijing University,
There are often some civil sciences setting up a challenge, asking the most outstanding professors from Beijing University to compete. These civil sciences either invented the perpetual motion machine, or proved Goldbach's conjecture with 20 lines of mathematical derivation, or else
They have found the true purpose of human existence. In short, they all feel that their talents are not recognized, and not awarding them the Nobel Prize is simply a crime against humanity.
All civilians are paranoid. Some are hard paranoid, the kind who will stab anyone who doesn't believe in him. Some are soft paranoid. He will sneer at anyone who doesn't believe in him.
Then he let out a long whistle, "The whole world is turbid and I'm the only one awake", drifted away, and came back again when the mood was brewing.
From a calm perspective, the person in front of me should be a soft paranoid civilian. As long as this kind of person leaves the field that he is obsessed with, he is normal in other aspects, and even belongs to the type with a high IQ. And soft paranoia
It is quite interesting to chat with civil society.
Thinking of this, Jing Jing smiled slightly and asked, "Excuse me, which field of science project do you want to talk to me about? There are some things I don't understand."
Ka'an's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I have discovered a method that can replace all traditional energy sources such as nuclear power, thermal power, and hydropower. With this method, humans will no longer encounter energy crises, and we will not have to worry about greenhouse gas emissions.
, are you interested in such a project?" (To be continued...)
ps: Don’t scold me. It was originally a transitional chapter, but I dug a hole myself and couldn’t climb out of it. Someone suggested that I write a plot that pretends to be a slap in the face. After thinking about it for two days, I felt it was too inconsistent.
So I moved on to another plot. Two days ago, someone asked me what to do about Kavin. I pretended that Kavin just had to keep writing, but I got retribution and was stuck for two days... Do you sympathize with me?
