Chapter 907: Take a ride

“Oh, this is a shoe with a simple design. It has no laces. You understand it as a shoe with decorative buttons or tassels on the upper. It can be worn as leather slippers. It should not be too pointy. Too square, or the upper is too long..."

"Mr. Lawrence, please allow me to guess whether it is the kind that US President Kennedy likes to wear, or the kind that Dustin Hoffman wore in "Clem" Passed through in "Couple" The ones called loafers in English?”

“Oh damn, that’s it! I forgot its English name!”

“But loafers. Shoes are also divided into European style and American style. Should we not use American style? Is it okay to pair it with Ivy League style frosted suede loafers? In order to attract young people, is it okay to have the model not wear socks? "


"Oh, this is a wonderful idea! The good-fitting striped geisha pants are paired with frosted suede loafers, without socks! Your fashion sense is great! I even think it is not only suitable for young people, but also elegant A mature gentleman is also very suitable! Tao should give you a salary increase!"

"Thank you Mr. Lawrence! With this suggestion, we will have a few other places next..."

While chatting with the foreigner, he made gestures and mouth movements with cousin Jianhua who was listening with stars in his eyes: " Pen, pen.”

Cousin Jianhua hurriedly deprived Tongtong of his right to correct his homework and commandeered the pen.

Soon, Zhou Zhi finished communicating with Lawrence Caston. If he didn’t understand the professional vocabulary, he would ask, let the other party give an explanation that he could understand, and then mark it in the relevant position of the agreement.

The two even took the time to chat about the weather and travel for a while, and Zhou Zhi even took it upon himself to invite the other person to travel to Shuzhong, saying that he would be invited to see giant pandas when the time came, which made the old man laugh.

Due to the context, Zhou Zhi always used English when making comments. After the communication was completed and he put down the phone, he had to translate it into Chinese and explain it to cousin Jianhua.

Today’s translators are also a very popular profession. Just like programmers, each of them earns a lot of money and has a high level of ambition. Even for a boss as big as Tao Ming, the translators he finds are not of high quality. , the kind that gets numb when encountering professional vocabulary.

Moreover, I am not very good at communication, that is, I am good at using official language, but I am not good at speaking, I cannot make witty remarks, and I cannot understand jokes. Over the years, this has given the Western world a sense of Chinese seriousness. A stereotyped, unsmiling impression.

Zhou Zhi was used to laughing and joking with Fu Xia. In Fu Xia's words, overseas phone calls were too expensive. Instead of calling home, it was better to call Zhou Zhi and have a chat, which would save money.

In fact, this girl thought that China's college entrance examination system was too cruel and inhumane, so she tried every means to give Zhou Zhi some "comfort."

It was okay to call Zhou Zhi to chat and joke, hoping to make Zhou Zhi properly "relaxed". Although it may not have any effect, Zhou Zhi was actually very touched by the act itself.

Of course, the sequelae is that when Zhou Zhi is chatting with foreigners, he can't help but talk, even when communicating about serious matters.

"Maybe you can bear it! You are indeed the number one scholar in our family!" Cousin Jianhua was very happy: "Brother-in-law will come over later and ask him to give you a toast! Nothing has been done for more than a week, so I’ll sort it out for you soon!”

“I’ve given Lawrence a guarantee and will wait for him to come to Shu! Don't forget to take him to the teahouse to see the pandas." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "The old man is actually quite cute, but he is Italian and his English is half-baked. These are professional terms, but some of them are actually in Italian, so it’s normal for the translation to be unclear. ”

After looking through cousin Jianhua's information again, Zhou Zhi suddenly found a trademark and was shocked: "Brother-in-law is...the owner of Aston Suit?"

Nowadays, a new trend has set off in China. , cadres are getting younger.

What has been brought about by the rejuvenation of cadres is that it has become popular among public officials to dye their hair and wear suits and ties to show that they are young in spirit and open-minded.

Relatively high-end suits, leather shoes, belts, ties and other configurations have naturally become popular in China.

Several of these brands seized the opportunity to stand out. Aston suits, which are mainly made of thin woolen fabrics, have become one of the popular ones like Goldlion ties, Golden Monkey leather shoes and crocodile belts.

Among them, the profit of suits is the most terrible. The normal salary of a cadre now is only four to five hundred yuan, but the price of an Aston suit is as high as one thousand five hundred yuan, which is equivalent to the income of a county and regiment-level cadre for a quarter.

If this is the case, Zhou Zhi feels that it can be forgiven for Jianhua’s cousin saying that her brother-in-law is too busy to come over. This is such a huge amount of money. "Just the head of a large tailoring team and the shopkeeper of ready-made garments." Cousin Jianhua pursed her lips and smiled: "What expression are you looking at? Do you want it to be so exaggerated?"

"What is so exaggerated?" A voice sounded at the door. A rich middle-aged male voice said: "My elbows are so big, do you still remember me?"

Zhou Zhi quickly stood up: "Cousin Jianjun."

"Sit." Jianjun's cousin was a driver and was very interested in big cars: "That Land Rover at the door, my mother said you drove it?"

"Cousin An Ran from Jingyang lent it to me to play with. , Cousin, do you want to try it?”

“Then I have to try it, old girl and Tongtong?”< br>
“Brother!” Jianhua’s cousin said angrily, “Can’t you give your elbow a break?”

“Youche River is actually quite nice.” Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “People over there on Hong Kong Island I learned this habit from foreigners and called it "joyding". Cousin Jianjun is very fashionable. ”

"Oh, let's go for a ride..." Tongtong threw the notebook away.

"You are good at talking. He has been driving for a whole day." Jianhua's cousin said this, but she stood up and said, "I have to move my car first. Tongtong goes Tell grandma, we'll go for a walk and come back."

The chicken is stewed on the stove, and the third aunt can't walk away because of the fire. My cousin is driving, and my cousin is sitting in the front, and Zhou Zhi and Tongtong are sitting in the back. .

“This car is quite comfortable,” my cousin said, “I think I should get one with a high seat like this, the view is so comfortable.”

Zhou Zhi gave instructions to the cousin to drive Audio, turning on the air conditioner, closing the windows, and automatic windows are all high-end car features. They are only available on cousin Jianhua’s Crown. The Wild Boar that cousin Jianjun rents out is hand-cranked and push-pull.

"This car is so comfortable. Let's go. Tongtong, where should we go for a ride?"

"To the Jialing River!" Tongtong said.

“Would you like to experience the cable car?” Cousin Jianhua turned around and asked.

"No need, right? It wastes time going back and forth." The current Jialing River Cable Car is regarded as a "landmark facility" in Yuzhou, and many foreign tourists must experience this when they come to Yuzhou.

But Zhou Zhi really has no interest in it. There will be many places with cable cars in later generations, and the one in Zhangjiajie is more fragrant.

"The power of this car is so good, even if the air conditioner is turned on, it won't affect it." Cousin Jianjun couldn't help but praise.

"Brother, you are really..." Cousin Jianhua couldn't help but laugh: "The wild boar has never seen fine chaff."

After saying this, she really started to giggle.

“Look at your cousin, elbow.” Jianjun’s cousin smiled and said, “One sentence announces two people!”
