I went to Malaysia during the Spring Festival to spend a relaxing time together, so why did I arrange a banquet on the first day? Jin Huabin couldn’t understand it, but when he thought about it, it was also one of the Chinese customs to have wine to greet the guests after arriving at the destination.
1. There is nothing wrong with that, so I asked: "What fun places are there in Malaysia during the Chinese New Year? Let's go for a walk in the next few days?"
"Dear, I'm sorry, I have a full schedule these days. I may not have time to play this time." Zhang Guifang took out a box of business cards and said, "This is your business card. Remember to click here during the banquet in the evening."
Written to introduce to guests."
I carry my business card with me, do I need to give another one? Oh, my business card in China is only in Chinese and not English, and it is in simplified Chinese characters. Overseas Chinese mostly use traditional Chinese characters, and some of the guests are locals and do not understand Chinese, she thought.
More carefully. After thinking about it, Jin Huabin took the business card and looked at it. It said Director of the Ancient Culture Research Institute of Xianju County Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Secretary General of Xianju Traditional Culture Association. Jin Huabin was startled and asked
She said: "What is this? It's too exaggerated."
"Didn't you tell me that your company is undergoing restructuring, and its name after the restructuring may be Cultural Media Co., Ltd."
"But it hasn't been restructured yet. This name is just a possibility. It should be the County Cultural Station. Besides, even if it is restructured, there will not be an ancient culture research institute under it, let alone what its director is." p>
"Are you in charge of antiques at the cultural station? Some of the cultural relics in the county are also under your management. Do you have some research on ancients?"
"Yes, but I am just an administrator. There are not many ancient items in the cultural station. It is not an independent institution. Even if it is restructured, it will not become a research institute. Where can I be the director?"
"Nevermind, the person who manages the study of ancient borrowings and cultural relics in the county is understood by foreigners as the top person in charge of this organization. You can just introduce it to the guests as I say."
"And what's going on with the secretary-general of the Xianju Traditional Culture Association?"
"Don't you have a QQ group that discusses traditional culture? You are one of the administrators of the group, and you are actually responsible for convening many activities. What is the name of the convener if he is not called the Secretary-General?" She said confidently.
"This is just a QQ group. Webmaster Yang asked me to bring in people from the county who are interested in ancient culture. The name of the QQ group is the Traditional Culture Association Group. There is no formal association established. Isn't it appropriate to put it on it?
"Jin Huabin was a little worried and said fearfully: "Besides, if this card is seen by Station Manager Yang, he will laugh out loud. How can I get along in the workplace?"
She said domineeringly: "Webmaster Yang asked you to set up this group. Her idea was to prepare for the establishment of the association. She will serve as the president or vice president, and you, as the actual executor, will be the secretary-general. Just follow my instructions.
This introduction will be of great benefit to our future business in Malaysia. You should carefully recite the words written on the business card against your own character several times, and prepare some corresponding self-introductions. When you meet the guests in the evening, you should have a good attitude.
Natural."
Jin Huabin muttered: "Am I not the liar in Gogoli's Imperial Envoy?"
"Who said I was a liar? Every title on the business card is real. It's just that the national conditions are different. I just introduced it in words that suit Malaysia's national conditions. Let's have breakfast first. After breakfast, we will practice a few times and see how it goes.
In order to achieve the ideal effect, I have also prepared your clothes for you. You can try them on and practice in front of the mirror." After speaking, she opened the wardrobe, found several local Malaysian dresses and said: "Do as the local customs do.
, in order to gain the other person's favor and recognition, all the clothes on your body must be changed and put in the box. The quality is too poor."
Jin Huabin got angry and said: "The clothes are too bad and you need to change them. Your behavior is too unsociable and you need to change them. In your mind, you have become a countryman who has moved to the city."
"Don't be angry, husband." She took his hand and shook it and said, "Look, in front of the Filipino maid, I tell you that you are my husband's. In front of other guests, I also tell them that I will stay at my house tonight.
My husband is here. If I treat you as a country boy, what would I do?"
This is also true. When I first arrived last night, I heard the Filipino maid call me husband. It seems that he still has a status in her mind. Jin Huabin thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will cooperate with you after the performance today."
I will no longer cooperate with this late scene after tonight."
"Okay, okay, let's receive tonight's distinguished guests well first." Zhang Guifang said as she pushed him into the dressing room, handed him a few sets of clothes and said, "You try on that set of clothes.
More appropriate."
He opened his clothes and made gestures on his body. Oh my god, what kind of clothes is this? It's so flashy that it looks like something worn by dancers in movies or hooligans in Hong Kong and Macau movies. This is so fancy, how can I wear it?
"Oh, this is called Badi shirt. "Badi" is Malay and means "batik". Traditional badi shirts are made of batik cloth." She explained: "In November 1998, in
During the 6th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum Informal Summit held in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, the host country, Malaysia, specially made a brightly colored badi shirt for each of the leaders of the countries. It was elegant, gorgeous, comfortable and generous, and attracted the attention of the whole world.
.Referred to as the “national service” by the Malaysian people
National uniform? Jin Huabin hesitated for a moment and put it on. Although the workmanship was fine, it still felt like he was not wearing it. Forget it, just follow the local customs and put it on. After putting it on, Jin Huabin asked her:
"So, where are the pants?"
She took out a piece of floral cloth that looked like a skirt or apron, tied it around his waist and said, "These are Malaysian pants."
Is that right? Looking at the so-called trousers, which were made by sewing the two ends of a piece of cloth together to form a fat straight tube without a belt, just a tight buckle around the waist, he grabbed his trousers tightly and refused.
In other words: "Only women wear skirts, and I won't change them."
She chuckled and said: "This skirt-like thing is called a sarong. It is mostly made of plaid cloth of various colors, and its length extends from the waist to the top of the feet. This is how Malaysians wear it. It's up to you to wear a suit and tie.
But in their eyes, dressing up like this is different, and there is no way you can blend in with them."
Jin Huabin's face turned red with embarrassment. He squirmed for a long time before putting on the sarong. He felt very uncomfortable all over his body.
In the evening, guests arrived one after another. Seeing that they were all dressed in badi shirts and sarongs, Jin Huabin felt a little more natural. When he was introducing each other to the reception room, a group of lion dancers came to the door, dancing and asking for rewards.
Jin Huabin read a message in Zhang Guifang's eyes. She had never called for a lion dance team. The cost of hiring a large lion dance team of more than 40 people was not cheap. Who arranged for them to come here to congratulate?
