Edward immediately shoved the steak into the refrigerator, raised his hands, and shouted, "I'm not eating it! I really'm not eating it! Don't arrest me!"
Manager Li was startled. It seemed like there had been a misunderstanding.
Oh no! Unbeknownst to him, Wu Changfeng had dug a huge hole for him.
Clearly, Edward believed he had been brought to arrest him.
But that's not what I meant!
I just told Wu Changfeng to stop grilling!
Imagine if this foreign businessman really misunderstood Manager Li and went to the embassy in China to say that a Manager Li at the Canton Fair was trying to arrest him, it would really cause a diplomatic dispute.
If the BBC were to use this opportunity to fabricate another fake news story, create some international public opinion, tarnish the reputation of the Canton Fair, and incidentally smear China, then I would have to take the blame no matter what, and I would really lose my job!
Manager Li forced a smile and said in English, "You are our foreign guest, why would we arrest you?"
It's fine if they don't speak, but once they open their mouths, coupled with a forced smile, they become even more irritated.
Edward was so frightened he almost knelt down.
Edward wailed, "I shouldn't have been greedy! How much was this steak? I'll pay ten times the price! I have an elderly mother to support, a wife and children to raise. I don't want to die here! Please don't torture me!"
We're doomed!
Manager Li now realized that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper.
It's impossible to explain!
The direction of this work is not right. We should check if there is anyone else on site dealing with Wu Changfeng!
Sweat beaded on his forehead again, and he hurriedly pleaded with Wu Changfeng, "Please explain this to me quickly, I didn't come here to arrest him!"
Wu Changfeng calmly replied, "I don't have time. I'm packing my things to go back to my hometown."
Manager Li was furious: "Fine, I won't let you leave then?"
Edward also wants to eat steak.
"Bomb it however you want! If Edward eats turtle, I'll bring it to you, but you'd better explain it to me! He's scared to death!"
Manager Li called out anxiously.
Wu Changfeng nodded. "You still want to punish me?"
I'll take advantage of any possibility, and now we'll see who's embarrassed.
Wu Changfeng walked over to Edward and said, "Don't be nervous. This is your first time at the Canton Fair. Here, all the signing of contracts is witnessed by officials to ensure fairness for both parties."
"He is that kind of official; he's here to bear witness."
Edward's emotions finally calmed down: "Oh, I've heard others mention it, and it seems there is such a rule."
Convincing someone to believe something is actually quite simple; all you need is a reasonable reason.
"Come on, let's continue grilling the steak."
Wu Changfeng extended the invitation.
Edward nodded.
Feng Gang, unconvinced, asked Supervisor Li: "Are you just going to let it go like this?"
Director Liao gave him a disdainful look: "Then what else do you want?"
"All you've done is eat and drink! Show us the orders!"
