Chapter 104: Introduced by Uncle 2
Jiang Weimin and Yun Zhou carefully moved 100 sets of comic book albums to the Guangzhou Hotel.
"Brother Yun, could you please help me move these comic books inside? I need to explain something to the comrades at the front desk."
However, before he finished his words, he saw a sly smile on Yun Zhou's face, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
"Brother Yun, don't think too much. This is really just a work matter." Jiang Weimin explained hurriedly.
"Okay, got it. Go and get busy." Yun Zhou replied with a smile, obviously not completely believing what he said.
Looking at Yun Zhou's half-smile, Jiang Weimin shook his head helplessly, but he did not explain any more and quickly walked to the front desk.
"Hello, comrade. I was introduced by my second uncle."
The beautiful lady at the front desk looked at him with confusion: "Aren't you from the Qingdao trading group? How come you were introduced by my second uncle? Also, have you moved all your books here?"
Jiang Weimin smiled slightly, took out a piece of drawing paper from his arms and gently placed it on the front desk.
"Actually, I'm a painter and I like to draw portraits for others," Jiang Weimin said while pointing to the drawing paper.
The beautiful lady at the front desk looked down curiously and immediately revealed a surprised expression. It turned out that the paper was actually a portrait of herself, lifelike and beautiful.
In the picture, she is standing gracefully at the entrance of Guangzhou Hotel, wearing fashionable clothes and with a delicate face, just like a real person.
"Take the painting away quickly." Cheng Susu said seriously.
"For you."
"I won't disclose any guest information. Take it away quickly." The tone of the beautiful receptionist was still firm.
Jiang Weimin quickly explained, "I didn't ask you to disclose the customer's information. I just wanted to thank you for helping me introduce your manager."
"Really?"
"It must be true. I lied to you that you are a puppy."
The beautiful receptionist was amused by him and burst out laughing: "Just leave! Don't disturb me while I'm working."
"Okay, by the way, my name is Jiang Weimin, comrade, you don't know your name yet?"
"My name is Cheng Susu, okay, you got it! Let's go!" Cheng Susu urged Jiang Weimin to leave quickly.
Afterwards, Jiang Weimin took out a painting from his bag, wrote the three words "Cheng Susu" on it, and placed it in front of Cheng Susu.
Cheng Susu looked at herself in the painting in surprise, and her face suddenly turned red: "Comrade Jiang Weimin, what on earth do you want to do?"
Jiang Weimin said a little embarrassedly: "Actually... I do have a small favor that I would like to ask you to do, but I definitely don't want you to disclose the customer's information."
Cheng Susu said hesitantly, "I can help, but it doesn't violate the rules."
"It's definitely not against the rules. If Mr. Anderson from the UK comes out, you can just give me a wink, okay?"
Jiang Weimin thought that since he was already here, he might as well wait a little longer. Maybe Anderson would show up.
After hearing this, Cheng Susu showed a hint of hesitation on her face, but still nodded to show her agreement.
When Jiang Weimin saw that Cheng Susu agreed, he felt much more at ease.
Then, he looked at Cheng Susu sincerely and continued, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone that you were the one who leaked the information to me.
At that time, I will say that the information was provided by the organizers of the Canton Fair, and these are the excuses I thought of in advance. "
As he spoke, he handed his notebook to Cheng Susu and asked her to read the contents carefully.
Cheng Susu took the notebook and flipped through it carefully. She saw that the handwriting on the notebook was neat and elegant, and each sentence corresponded to an English sentence.
At the same time, Cheng Susu noticed that there was no mention of anything related to her in the notebook, which made her feel relieved.
Cheng Susu closed her notebook, looked up, and said softly, "Okay! I didn't expect you could speak English."
“I know a little bit, but I’ve never communicated with foreigners.”
"Just communicate more. I used to be afraid of communicating with foreigners, but I'll get used to it after a while."
“Thank you comrade Cheng Susu for sharing!”
"But you must be polite and respectful when communicating with foreign businessmen, and don't offend anyone!"
Jiang Weimin smiled and nodded, responding: "Don't worry! I'm here to earn foreign exchange, not to cause trouble. I will definitely treat them with the most professional and enthusiastic attitude."
After saying this, Jiang Weimin patted his chest to show his confidence.
After chatting with Cheng Susu for a day, Jiang Weimin saw Yun Zhou had already moved the comic books and was waiting for him outside the door, so Jiang Weimin hurried out.
"Brother Yun, you go first! I'll see if I can wait for Mr. Anderson here."
"Okay, Brother Jiang, I'm leaving first."
Watching Yun Zhou leave, Jiang Weimin turned around and returned to the hall.
While waiting, Jiang Weimin felt that he couldn't just sit there, so he decided to find a foreigner to chat with and practice his English at the same time.
After all, he had never communicated with foreigners before, and this time was a good opportunity for him to get some exercise.
His eyes fell on two foreign men who were quietly reading in the lounge area, and he suddenly became nervous.
Although he was a little nervous, Jiang Weimin took a deep breath and walked towards them slowly. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning!
While walking towards the two foreigners, Jiang Weimin did not forget to look through the notebook in his hand to make sure he could express what he wanted to say smoothly.
Finally walking up to them, Jiang Weimin said in slightly stiff but standard English: "Hello! I am from the China Qingdao Trade Mission. Nice to meet you."
(Hello, I am a member of the Qingdao Trade Group in China, nice to meet you)
One of the foreigners looked up, looked at him and gave him a friendly smile.
He replied in English with a French accent: "Hello! I am Jack from France. Nice to meet you."
(Hi, I'm Jack from France, nice to meet you.)
Next, Jiang Weimin began to talk with his French friend according to the sentences he had prepared in advance.
During the communication, Jiang Weimin was pleasantly surprised to find that the two French people did not speak English very well, which made him feel less nervous.
During the communication, Jiang Weimin learned that the two French friends came to China to purchase silk and embroidery.
They are very interested in China's traditional crafts and hope to find high-quality products to bring back to France for sale.
Jiang Weimin told the two that he was a cartoonist and was waiting for British bookseller Mr. Anderson to come and discuss cooperation.
He pointed to the comic strips on the bookshelf and told them that they were all his works. The two French people were very surprised and said they would read Jiang Weimin's works later.
During this process, Jiang Weimin realized that communicating with foreigners was not as difficult as he had imagined.
As long as you remain confident and friendly, you will be able to convey your meaning and establish good communication even if your language is not precise.
Time passed quickly and before I knew it, an hour had passed.
Despite the cultural differences between them, Jiang Weimin felt the friendliness of Frenchman Jack through this exchange.
During the process, Jiang Weimin kept an eye on the foreign friends coming and going. Suddenly, Jiang Weimin saw Cheng Susu secretly winking at him.
Jiang Weimin realized that Mr. Anderson might have come out. He looked at Cheng Susu gratefully, and then said goodbye to the two foreign friends.
"Thank you for your communication. I learned a lot. If there is a chance, let's talk next time. I may wait until Mr. Anderson."
"Goodbye, Jiang, I wish you all the best." Jack and his friends also waved goodbye.
Jiang Weimin took a deep breath and walked in the direction Cheng Susu quietly pointed. His heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.
