Chapter 506 Doraemon

After the meeting, the seven of them went out together to find a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.

When we met pedestrians on the road and asked them for directions, we discovered a problem.

Except for Meng Ziyi and Nazha, everyone else in the "Flowers and Youth" group is an English expert. There should be no communication barriers when traveling in Western countries, but the official language in Brazil is Portuguese, and not everyone can speak English.

This causes big problems in communicating with others.

When asking for directions, Jing Boran kept saying "supermarket" for a long time, leaving pedestrians confused.

Finally, Gu Wei couldn't stand it anymore and walked up to ask in Portuguese where the nearby supermarket was. The passerby suddenly realized and pointed in the direction.

"Wow! Gu Wei, you actually know Portuguese. In China, few people learn this language unless they are professional translators!"

Jiang Shuying looked at Gu Wei in surprise, and the others were also very surprised that he could communicate fluently in Portuguese.

"I have some talent for languages ​​and studied them for a while just for fun."

Gu Wei shrugged and said indifferently.

For him who has a cheat, the whole world can be communicated with without any obstacles.

No matter what language, with just a little learning, you can become proficient in it immediately through the panel.

"That's great! I was worried about the communication issues we'd have with other people during our time in Brazil. Now it should go much smoother!"

Jing Boyan was excited when he saw Gu Wei showing off his language skills.

After he arrived today, he has been contacting for a car for the next few days. It was difficult to find a driver who could speak English, but now that he knew Gu Wei could speak Portuguese, he could choose any driver.

The other girls also looked at Gu Wei with a bit of admiration, and Nazha was even more proud.

A group of people followed the instructions of passers-by and came to a nearby supermarket. They went around and bought a lot of food. Gu Wei acted as a translator throughout the process. He had to help read the Portuguese on the packaging and tell everyone what it meant.

Except for him, the other six people had to call him whenever they wanted to buy something. Meng Ziyi and Song Zuer were a little embarrassed, but the other four were not polite at all.

Gu Wei now understands that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. He is very busy coming and going.

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening after we paid the bill, and it was obviously too late to go back to prepare dinner, so we decided to eat at a nearby restaurant and experience the local characteristics of Rio for our first meal after arriving.

The group didn't walk far before they came across a restaurant. After sitting down, Gu Wei picked up the menu and read out the names and prices of the dishes to everyone.

“The food here is not cheap!”

Jiang Shuying, the chief financial officer, sighed. She now had a total of 4,600 Brazilian reals. She had just spent 574 on a taxi from the airport and some shopping at the supermarket. She would need money for everything else, and she felt reluctant to spend a dollar.

In the end, after much hesitation, everyone only ordered two dishes under the control of Finance Jiang.

"Let's drink more Coke so we won't feel hungry~" Meng Ziyi was open-minded. She thought anything was fine, and it didn't matter if she didn't eat at night.

"Eat less now, I can cook instant noodles when I get home." Song Zuer was thinking about the things he had just bought from the supermarket and didn't care about the two dishes in front of him.

Zhang Ruoyun looked at the two dishes and frowned slightly. He had done quite a bit of exercise today moving luggage and packing things, so he was indeed a little hungry now.

"I see the two people next to me ordered three dishes each, and there are seven of us."

Gu Wei looked at everyone who looked very hungry but sensible, and said to Jiang Shuying beside him: "Today is the first day, we can let everyone eat better and experience the local characteristics. There will be time to control consumption later."

Jiang Shuying looked at Gu Wei and then at everyone else, without too much hesitation, and called Gu Wei over to continue ordering food.

After the two stood up, Gu Wei looked up and suddenly saw something, and took two steps with Jiang Shuying.

"Jiang Jiang, I want to go talk to the boss. You wait here for me. Maybe we can have a full meal and save money at the same time."

Jiang Shuying looked at him with confusion, but out of trust she let Gu Wei do it. After all, she didn't understand Portuguese, and without Gu Wei as a translator, she couldn't even order food.

She stood there, watching Gu Wei go to find the boss, watching the two of them communicate with each other through gestures, and then they took a photo together for some inexplicable reason, and finally the boss shook hands with Gu Wei with a happy face.

“Is that all?

Have you finished ordering?"

Jiang Shuying looked at Gu Wei who had returned and asked curiously.

"We've ordered, now wait for the food to be served!"

Gu Wei didn't say much, and Jiang Shuying returned to his seat with a head full of questions.

Not long after, the waiters began to serve them their dishes one after another.

"Wow, why are there so many!"

“It looks so rich!”

"Oh my god, did Jiang Jiangni spend all our money on today's meal?"

“.”

Before long, the table was filled with all kinds of dishes.

There are special Brazilian barbecue, seafood soup, and some local delicacies that are unknown but look delicious.

Jing Boyan was not as excited as the others. As someone who had been through it, he knew clearly how troublesome the future would be if there was insufficient funding.

He frowned and looked at Jiang Shuying beside him.

"Don't look at me, this is all Gu Wei's fault. I don't know what's going on either!"

Jiang Shuying spread her hands. Although she wanted to take responsibility, she certainly couldn't stop Gu Wei from doing what he wanted to do.

Gu Wei picked up the fork in his hand, picked up a piece of Brazilian barbecue and put it in his mouth.

“Mm, it tastes pretty good~”

Then he noticed Jing Boyan's gaze on him and waved his hand casually.

"Don't worry, this table of dishes, including the two we ordered earlier, are all free. They're gifts from the boss!"

"What's going on?"

"How is it possible? Is the boss such a nice person?"

"Brother Wei, was this arranged by the program team?"

“.”

Everyone was happily eating the food, and they were all surprised when they heard what Gu Wei said.

Most people thought that it might be arranged by the program team so that they could have a good meal after landing.

Jing Boran has experience, and he knows clearly that the "Flowers and Youth" production team cannot arrange this meal for everyone.

He waited for Gu Wei's explanation.

"Of course it couldn't have been arranged by the production team. How could they be so kind? I already said it was a gift from the boss!"

Gu Wei picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth.

His words made everyone more curious, and they all looked at him with inquiring eyes.

Nazha took a sip of the seafood soup and looked up at Gu Wei curiously.

"Look over there~"

Gu Wei raised his hand and pointed across the street.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger.

"What? I didn't see anything." Zhang Ruoyun squinted her eyes, not knowing what Gu Wei was referring to.

"I saw it, Brother Wei, there seems to be an LV luxury store over there, and your poster is hanging on the glass wall on the side!"

Meng Ziyi shouted excitedly.

As she spoke, everyone saw the location of the store.

"I went over to my boss and told him I was a Chinese celebrity filming a show. I pointed to the LV poster across the street and asked if I could give him a discount.

Unexpectedly, the boss was very straightforward and promised that as long as I took a photo with him and allowed him to hang the photo in the store, I could get a free meal and even gave him a table full of dishes.

After Gu Wei finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood.

"Wow! That works, then if we go somewhere else, can't we also use this method to eat and drink for free?"

Song Zuer looked very happy. He was very excited at the thought of saving money and eating delicious food. It seemed that "Flowers and Youth" was not difficult and did not require them to suffer much.

"Only Gu Wei can use this method. He has several international endorsements and distributes products all over the world, even in Brazil. Other domestic stars simply can't do this.

When you go abroad, no one will know who you are."

Jiang Shuying sighed, Jing Boyan and Zhang Ruoyun also looked at Gu Wei with complicated expressions.

They know that there is a big gap between their fame and status and Gu Wei's, but it is too exaggerated that there is still such a clear contrast after going abroad.

The remaining Nazha, Meng Ziyi and Song Zuer looked at Gu Wei with admiration.

"It's not as exaggerated as Jiang Jiang said. I just happened to be there today. There's an LV store across the street, and the owner is also very generous.

In fact, I’m not even well-known in Brazil.”

Gu Wei waved his hand and said.

He knows best how much he is capable of.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, Gu Wei explained again.

"For example, some luxury stores in China also have advertisements featuring foreign celebrities and models. When you see them in shopping malls, can you remember the foreigners in them?

Do they know the other person’s name and what they do?”

Everyone thought about it and shook their heads.

“So, it’s the same principle, and it’s the same for me here.

Although my advertising posters are displayed in stores like LV and Bulgari, as well as on large advertising spaces in some cities, the locals don’t know who I am and don’t care to find out.

They just thought of her as a handsome foreign model.

So we are completely lucky today to have met such a generous boss."

Although Gu Wei said so, everyone still enjoyed the meal very much. After eating and drinking their fill, everyone happily walked back along the same route.

"Brother Wei, I think you look like an anime character~"

On the way, the sweet girl Meng Ziyi came up to Gu Wei and said with a smile.

"Like what?"

“Like Doraemon!”

"Do I look like the blue fat man?"

"No, no, I mean you are almighty.

Look, you're fluent in Portuguese, and you even gave us a free meal. You can solve any problem. Even though you don't have any magic props, you are the magic prop yourself!"

"Um, I'm a prop?

Your metaphor is so unique, I'll take it as a compliment, Ziyi."

Gu Wei looked at Meng Ziyi's clear eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Haha~ I think what Ziyi said makes a lot of sense. Gu Wei, why don't you use Doraemon as your nickname? It suits you perfectly!"

Zhang Ruoyun patted Gu Wei's shoulder happily. After spending a few days together, he could already joke with Gu Wei without restraint.

"Ahem~ I think I need to tell the production team that the wine in the refrigerator at home is really useless. Why not let them take it all away?"

Gu Wei smiled and raised his eyebrows at Zhang Ruoyun.

“Don’t, bro!

I think this nickname doesn't suit your handsome looks at all!"

Zhang Ruoyun immediately backed down, making the others laugh.
