Chapter 221 Confidence in Hong Kong City
Yue Ning returned to Hong Kong City and basically stayed indoors.
The program about her trip to Lyon was broadcast over two days. The first day was for everyone to show their support for Yue Ning, especially since she has reduced her appearances recently. It was a program about visiting French wineries, and the ratings were very high.
At the beginning of the first day's show, Yue Ning made a statement: "Although I did not receive advertising fees for the products that appeared in the following programs, I am indeed advertising them."
Sincerity is the ultimate skill, right? Everyone was not bored at all when she introduced the Durand family's business. Whether it was Bresse chicken or wine, they were all part of French culture, and everyone was happy for the courtesy she received there.
Yue Ning has introduced Lucas's bladder chicken many times before, and now people in Hong Kong are already aesthetically fatigued. Ningyan has Wagyu beef, foie gras and abalone rice, and Baohualou also has goose feet and abalone rice. When they saw Ningning's rice, the French said it was delicious, and everyone was very happy.
Until a housewife said: "Ningning and Xianzai's wedding can be held in a European castle. It must be so romantic!"
This suggestion was followed by other housewives: "Ningning and Xianzai are both from Hong Kong, why do they want to go to Europe? We want to see Ningning wearing a dragon and phoenix gown."
Someone asked, "Who will cook for their wedding banquet?"
"Baohualou doesn't have enough chefs? Besides, Ningning has so many good friends, maybe there will be Japanese and French food by then."
"I'm really looking forward to it! I hope Ningning and Xianzi can get married soon."
"Ningning has an exam on Saturday and still needs to go to college."
"Poor Xianzai will have to wait for Ningning for several more years."
"Poor Ningning, she has to take an exam on her birthday."
"Especially since Young Master Qiao's wedding date has already been set, will he be envious?"
Everyone was calling for the two to get married. Yue Ning was studying and Qiao Junxian happened to be in Hong Kong these days. The reporter found Qiao Junxian's factory and asked him what he thought.
Qiao Junxian responded positively: "Our wedding will not be held abroad. The wedding room is being designed and is expected to start construction in the second half of this year. The construction and decoration will take at least three years, which is just right! My brother is getting married, and we are the best man and bridesmaid."
The two babies have a very stable relationship, so the housewives are relieved.
The exchange meeting on the second day was the highlight. The TV station made sufficient preparations and each team that appeared gave a very detailed background introduction.
At the beginning, the young French chef called Yue Ning a little girl.
This statement really angered the audience in Hong Kong. They even took their anger out on HTV, thinking that all the people in HTV were dead. Since they were cooperating with the French TV station, why didn't they tell the other party from the beginning how great a chef Ning Ning was?
How infuriating! Fortunately, the father of this stupid foreigner is a sensible man. And this chef can be said to be the king of French cuisine.
Hahaha! How could Ningning be so embarrassed? A carved chicken, little foreigner, do you have the ability to do that?
What does this French guy mean? What does it mean to use the core of French cuisine to make Chinese food? Have you ever seen good Chinese food? Ningning was too polite to him.
Wow! Yanxi people are very nice! What they say is very objective, and Lucas is also knowledgeable. Well! I just haven't seen this chef Valere. He said he would come to Hong Kong. Ignorance is not a problem.
What did those two Canadian guys say to make Ning Ning so angry? Were they targeting people from Hong Kong?
Ningning is Ningning, and that’s how it should be.
Ningning, my dear, do you know how much you ate today? Ah! Ningning said this beef stew is super delicious. I want to eat it too!
Pierre invited Ningning to study business in France? Did he get surprised? Ningning is a little darling, but also a big boss!
Is this cassoulet really that delicious? Wow! Ningning almost licked the plate! Do you want to plan a trip to Europe?
Yue Ning's fans watched the show with a big smile on their faces, but social commentators were not idle. One article was titled "Vancouver is no longer a Canadian city" with a subtitle "Vancouver residents: hate the arrival of Hong Kong people"
The article said that during the exchange program that Yue Ning participated in last night, Yue Ning had a conflict with a Canadian chef. This was not an isolated incident, but rather the result of immigrants from Hong Kong bringing a lot of wealth to immigrate to British Columbia, Canada, causing great trouble to the local area.
After buying old houses in the area, they demolished the houses that were decades or even hundreds of years old and built modern large houses, destroying the consistency of the entire community. The children went to school in luxury cars, wore brand-name clothes, and talked loudly in Cantonese, which also disgusted the local students.
Local children said that many of them have to work after school, while these children from Hong Kong cities have everything provided by their parents. This undermines the fairness of education.
This sociologist appealed to people who were about to leave Hong Kong and immigrate to Canada in the newspaper to follow the local customs, respect the local culture, and not do disgusting things. Don't let innocent Hong Kong people like Yue Ning be implicated.
Yue Ning is reviewing at home and doesn't go out.
Every morning, Yue Baohua would take Dahei out for a walk and bring back newspapers. Yue Ning would take a look and see, "Great! The fish has taken the bait."
In the evening newspaper that night, Yang Yuhe, a great talent in Hong Kong who also came from the mainland, wrote an article in a prosperous newspaper: "When will we be able to change the habit of licking foreigners and disliking Chinese people?
Yang Yuhe pointed out at the beginning of the article: This incident was the fault of the two Canadian chefs. Yue Ning pointed out on the spot that the other party did not respect others and violated Canada's pluralism. Why should Hong Kong people reflect on themselves? "
The most ridiculous thing is that even the children of Hong Kong immigrants do not need to work because their parents provide them with expenses, while Canadian students need to work after school. Does this also affect the fairness of education?
With this kind of logic, this scholar still makes people reflect. It's nothing more than that what the foreigners say is right!
Immigration is approved by the Canadian government, building houses is also allowed by the Canadian government, and children are accepted by schools. If Hong Kong people violate local laws, they should be fined, jailed, or deported.
There is really no need to self-reflect and belittle ourselves to such an extent. What Hong Kong and its cities really need to reflect on and ponder is our attitude towards new immigrants. In a popular TV series last year, there was a character named Ah Chan, a new immigrant from the mainland. He spoke loudly and wore rustic clothes, which added a lot of jokes to the plot. For a while, the name "Ah Chan" became the name for new immigrants from the mainland.
What is the difference between the many discriminatory words Canadians use against Hong Kong people and the harsh ridicule of Hong Kong people towards new immigrants?
Just like that, the two people quarreled from the newspaper to the radio. One said that he just hoped that Hong Kong people would be more well-mannered when they came to Canada, and the other said that what was the difference between the other party scolding Hong Kong people for speaking loudly and Hong Kong people scolding new immigrants for speaking loudly?
Recently, there are many mainland immigrants going to Hong Kong cities, causing a lot of chaos. In short, the husband says he is right and the wife says she is right, and both sides enjoy scolding each other.
On Saturday, Yue Ning arrived nearly an hour early.
Even though HTV has arranged a fan meeting for her, she was worried that some fans would still come to the examination room just to see her early.
As expected, as soon as she got out of the car, fans rushed over to stuff things into her arms. Yue Ning held her arms full of gifts and bowed, "Thank you, brothers and sisters. This is an examination room and needs to be quiet. If you give it to me, I can't take it. Can everyone go to Hengtong Grand Stage? HTV has arranged a fan meeting for me. There will also be cakes produced by Ning Yan to entertain everyone. I will be there at two o'clock, and then everyone will cut the cake with me and eat the cake, okay?"
The fans spontaneously persuaded, and one housewife said: "Who will stay with me and persuade the new fans to go to Hengtong Stage?"
An uncle volunteered to stay, and Yue Ning thanked them and put the gifts he received in Yue Baohua's car. He then went to the entrance of the examination room, but was stopped by reporters at the entrance.
Yue Ning really wanted to ask them, did they not hear her persuading everyone to go to Hengtong Grand Stage?
"Ms. Yue, do you know that the dispute you had with the Canadian chef at the exchange meeting has caused an uproar?"
Of course Yue Ning knew, but she said: "I was busy reviewing! I didn't even see Qiao Junxian."
The reporter was amused by her and quickly recounted the quarrel between Yang Yuhe and the scholar yesterday.
"Your position is determined by your butt. I am also a new immigrant, so of course I support Uncle Yuhe. And I don't think what happened that day was caused by the people from Gangcheng in Canada. It was just a problem with two Canadian chefs." Yue Ning said, "The recent problem of new immigrants in Gangcheng is indeed prominent. I have also said that the way to stabilize the soil and water is to invest heavily in the mainland. Baohua Building and Fuyun Building have formed a joint venture. As for Qiao Junxian, fortunately he took the time to open an electrical appliance factory in the mainland. Because of the high inflation in Europe and the United States and the strong demand in the mainland, the electric fans he produces are now in short supply and have been in Pengcheng recently. And sister Huiyi's two factories have also been in short supply since they were put into production. She also spends more time in Beijing and Shanghai than in Gangcheng. Brother Junshen can only run to the mainland."
Seeing that the reporter seemed a little confused, Yue Ning smiled and said, "Our Gangcheng, a city with a population of five million, has a huge market of one billion people behind it. It will definitely develop rapidly in the future. I suggest that those who intend to leave Gangcheng think carefully and don't miss the golden decade or even twenty years of Gangcheng's development."
"Ms. Yue, is this how you look at things?" the reporter asked.
"I am planning to open stores in Japan and Hong Kong, and even in Singapore and Taiwan, because I am optimistic about the future of these places. Ten years from now, you can verify with me whether Japan's economic development will shock the world, and Hong Kong will follow closely. As for the mainland, it has just been opened up, and it will take another ten years to develop rapidly, but I have already entered. Because that is home!" Yue Ning said with a smile, "Today is the economics test, so I will show off here. What I said today can also be regarded as a test for me, right?"
"Ms. Yue, I wish you good luck in your exam!" the reporter said to Yue Ning.
Yue Ning stepped into the examination room. This was her last exam. The content of the exam was exactly the dilemma that Gangcheng was facing. Under the second oil crisis, inflation remained high, unemployment soared, economic real growth decreased, and trade protectionism prevailed. Gangcheng had experienced 30 years of rapid development and was now a leader in emerging markets. The dilemma it faced was that its original low-cost advantage was no longer there. In addition, Gangcheng still had unresolved historical issues, and many people lacked confidence in its prospects. The last question on the exam paper asked candidates to discuss where Gangcheng would go in the future.
This is a problem for others, but for Yue Ning, it is proven history.
