The night is shrouded, and unlike the Pujiang River, Moscow in a foreign land seems much quieter. Although the streets are busy with traffic, it always feels less bustling and lively.
The black MPV slowly drove into a western restaurant and stopped at the gate. Zhang Tan and Xiaobai got out of the car. He Shu and Jiang Yi took them to the restaurant before turning around and leaving.
After shopping all day, it’s time to have dinner.
Zhang Tan and Xiaobai will have dinner in this restaurant. Because it is very close to the hotel where they are staying, a 5-minute walk, so Zhang Tan asked He Shu and Jiang Yi to go back first. They had dinner and walked back to the hotel by themselves.
He Shu and Jiang Yi left the hotel and got into the car. He Shu said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Okay then, let's have Chinese food. I haven't had Chinese food in a long time." Jiang Yi said.
"Okay, I know a very good Chinese restaurant, you can try it, but do you like spicy food? The specialty there is Sichuan cuisine."
"Okay, I just want to try Sichuan food. Mr. Zhang and his daughter Xiaobai seem to be from Sichuan, right? Xiaobai's accent seems to be, but it seems that Boss Zhang can't speak Sichuan dialect."
Jiang Yi was a little strange. She was with Zhang Tan and Xiaobai today. From time to time, she could hear Xiaobai uttering three or two Sichuan dialects, which sounded cute, but she had never heard Zhang Tan say it. He didn't seem to know how to do it.
He Shu said: "Then let's go eat Sichuan food. Boss Zhang and his daughter are both from Pujiang. I don't know anything else."
Jiang Yi curled her lips and snorted. As a full tour guide, how could He Shu not know Zhang Tan's background? This is something that must be done before being a tour guide.
She knew that He Shu had a strong sense of confidentiality, and he especially valued customer information. Perhaps this was the reason why he became the ace tour guide of the travel agency. All the distinguished guests liked to treat him.
The two had dinner, and Jiang Yi's throat was filled with smoke from the spicy food. After eating a little, she didn't dare to eat anymore.
It's delicious, but it's also really spicy.
As a Cantonese, she can't stand this kind of spicy food.
It’s good to try something new.
He Shu drove Jiang Yi to school, dropped her off and drove away.
As Jiang Yi walked towards the dormitory, she kept sipping water in an attempt to relieve herself from the spicy food.
But she was still fussing when she got to the dormitory. She went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of ice water and drank two gulps before she felt better.
She lives in a single apartment, a small apartment for one person, and the cost is naturally higher.
She brought her laptop, sat on the sofa, and updated her travel diary first.
Suddenly I thought of Zhang Tan and Xiaobai who were accompanying me today. People's curiosity is always strong.
Although she didn't have to ask He Shu about it, she could always search online to satisfy her curiosity.
She had the attitude of giving it a try and had no intention of actually finding anything.
Enter the word "Zhang Tan" in the search box and press the Enter key...
"this……"
To her surprise, a lot of news about Zhang Tan appeared on the screen.
"Another hit created by Zhang Tan, hitting the summer vacation!"
"With ratings dominating the charts, what is Zhang Tan’s next masterpiece?"
…
Because it was the time when "The Legend of White Snake" was on the air, there was a lot of news about Zhang Tan during this period.
Jiang Yi drove over one by one and took a closer look. Only then did she realize that the "Legend of the White Snake" she was chasing was actually produced by Zhang Tan, and the story was also written by him!
Not only now, in Zhang Tan's resume, she found that many of the film and television works she had followed were actually written by Zhang Tan!!!
"You are indeed the boss behind the scenes. Compared with Mr. Zhang, those celebrities seem too superficial." Jiang Yi said to herself.
On this day, Zhang Tan's easy-going and restrained nature, as well as his love for his daughter, made her have a particularly good impression of Zhang Tan. Compared with the exaggerated glory of those stars in the entertainment industry, Zhang Tan was calm and restrained, not showing off or leaking, which was in line with her imagination.
The demeanor of a behind-the-scenes boss.
On the other side, Zhang Tan took Xiaobai to taste Western food. The environment was very good, splendid and high-end. The waiters were in suits and leather shoes and were polite. The pianist played the piano throughout the whole process, and his listening skills were very high.
Although Xiaobai has been to such high-end restaurants with Zhang Tan, he still feels a little uncomfortable and restrained every time he comes.
The environment in which children grow up is very different from today.
After dinner, the two of them walked back to the hotel. While walking on the road, although it was summer, the summer in Moscow was very cool.
Passing through a square along the way, there were many children playing around the musical fountain, and an ordinary church stood in sight.
Xiaobai stared at the musical fountain, where a child was lying on his father's back and laughing.
She glanced at Zhang Tan, said nothing, and followed closely at the old man's feet with small steps.
Suddenly, Zhang Tan's voice sounded: "Xiaobai, are you tired?"
"Huh? You're not tired. Walking is my strong point." Xiaobai said.
"Aren't you tired after a long day of walking? Come, I will carry you back to the hotel."
Zhang Tan said, squatting down, patting his back and asking Xiaobai to lie down.
Xiaobai was stunned.
"Isn't this bad?"
The child almost stuttered due to Old Man Zhang's behavior.
"Hurry up, people are looking at us two crooked nuts."
Xiaobai looked around, and sure enough he saw Waiguoren looking at them.
She no longer hesitated, lay down, hung up her feet, and put her arms around Boss Zhang's neck.
"I'm fine~" Xiaobai said.
Zhang Tan could feel her little body being stiff, maybe she wasn't used to it.
He stood up, held Xiaobai's butt back with both hands, and asked as he walked: "Would you like to listen to a Russian fairy tale?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cheerful voice came from behind him.
"Yes! Do you raise geese in Russia?"
"Okay, let's tell a story about raising geese in Russia."
"Hahaha~~Speak quickly, speak quickly."
"Once upon a time, there was a princess whose magic was very powerful..."
Originally, Zhang Tan was going to tell a Russian fairy tale, "The Frog Princess", but since the children wanted to hear about the Goose, it would be okay to just change it and turn it into "The Goose Princess".
Turning into a frog is not much different from turning into a goose.
Following the fairy tale, the two finally returned to the hotel.
When the female manager in the hotel lobby saw Zhang Tan coming in with Xiao Bai on his back, she cast an appreciative look, then walked up to him and asked if she needed her help.
"Old man, what is she talking about? Please translate." Xiaobai whispered in Zhang Tan's ear.
Zhang Tan said to himself: How could I know what she was talking about? He Shu and Jiang Yi were not here, and he and Xiaobai knew nothing about Russian.
"She may be asking us, did we have fun today? Is Moscow great?" Zhang Tan made nonsense.
Xiaobai believed it and said: "Then tell her quickly, we had a lot of fun and it's great here, but there are too many crooked nuts."
Zhang Tan spoke a few words in English to the female manager, but fortunately she understood her and replied to him in English. Then she left and watched them enter the elevator.
"Old man, you speak English!" Xiaobai said.
"You actually understand?"
"Hohoho, you said three grapefruits. I know that means thank you, right?!"
"You really have a few tricks up your sleeve..."
While Zhang Tan was talking, he got out of the elevator, came to their room, and put Xiao Bai down.
"Would you like to come to the balcony and see the night view of Moscow?"
"Look, old man, give me your cell phone. I want to call Xiwa."
"Your kid's watch doesn't work?"
"I don't know what's going on. After coming to this foreign country, my watch can't make calls to Xiwa -"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Sit down quickly and I'll rub your feet. You're tired."
