Chapter 677 My Honor

The car went directly to the Friendship Hotel, and only waited until all the foreign guests were settled down before welcoming them.

Director Lian asked someone to book a large round table and treat everyone with the signature dishes of Beicheng.

The Ministry of Foreign Trade also arranged an accompanying translator, named Li Yunzhao.

But his spoken English was not as fluent as Jiang Yu, and his translation was a bit halting.

On the contrary, Jiang Yu, who was hired temporarily, was of great use.

Liu Juanxiu muttered in a low voice: "With her ability, there is nothing to brag about."

Zhao Hongbo echoed: "How can she be qualified as deputy factory director if she likes to show off so much and doesn't have the slightest bit of stability?"

Qian Zhengzhi advised: "I don't think so. She is really amazing. I have never seen anyone who can speak a foreign language so fluently. Besides Jiang Yu, have you seen anyone else with such ability?"

Liu Juanxiu glared at him, "Why are you so ungrateful?"

Qian Zhengzhi said: "I'm just telling the truth. Jiang Yu is indeed capable. I also want to promote the clothes of our clothing factory. I hope Jiang Yu can help me then."

Communication is a means to build bridges. If one word is missing, the meaning will be completely different and the bridge will collapse.

Qian Zhengzhi now not only admires Jiang Yu, but also feels a little regretful.

He shouldn't have followed Liu Juanxiu and Zhao Hongbo to make trouble for a young man.

How ungentlemanly!

"Don't you want your textile factory to reach cooperation with these foreign businessmen? Haven't you heard that they are not short of money at all? A watch on their body is enough to place a large order in our factory! In addition to Jiang Yu, who else can communicate with these foreign businessmen with ease?"

The foreign guest couple Stephen and Tina were so happy to be coaxed by Jiang Yu that they made an appointment with her to visit the Forbidden City tomorrow and let Jiang Yu be the tour guide.

Isn't this how people become familiar with each other?

With basic familiarity, it will be much easier to discuss cooperation in the future.

Qian Zhengzhi only hated that he could not speak English, otherwise he would not have so many things to say but could not express them because of the language barrier.

Liu Juanxiu and Zhao Hongbo looked at each other and their faces changed slightly.

Zhao Hongbo said stubbornly: "You can't say that. It's not just Jiang Yu who knows English. I think Comrade Li from the Ministry of Foreign Trade can speak English too, right?"

Qian Zhengzhi clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes.

"Do you think Comrade Li can get a word in?"

Li Yunzhao has some basic English, but it's just basic.

He can't keep up with the speed of the foreign guests.

It's hard to listen, let alone chat.

After the meal, Jiang Yu basically figured out the temperaments of these foreign guests.

Carl has the mind of a businessman, but he is cheerful and generous. After visiting the Forbidden City tomorrow, he also wants to visit the National Cotton Mill.

It's nothing, just because this is where Jiang Yu works.

He wants to see what kind of factory can cultivate someone like Jiang Yu.

Stephen and Tina are more like a tourist. In addition to North City, they also want to go to other places to experience the customs and customs of China.

Of course, they have money, but not as rich as Carl, and they are a bit naive. They pay more attention to enjoyment than making money.

In Jiang Yu's eyes, these foreign guests are like lambs to be slaughtered, very fat.

The gap between the two countries is not small at present. Just a meal at the Friendship Hotel is expensive in Jiang Yu's eyes, but in their eyes, it is not as good as a cigar they smoke.

According to Jiang Yu's understanding, the jewelry Tina wears is already worth a lot of money.

That pearl necklace alone costs four thousand pounds.

Tina said that she wore the pearl necklace to keep a low profile when traveling. This was the cheapest necklace in her jewelry box.

And the watch on Steve's hand was more expensive than all the jewelry Tina had put together.

Jiang Yu originally thought that she was rich enough, but she was still shocked in front of these foreign businessmen.

This was also the first time that she clearly realized the gap between her country and foreign countries.

But she had a good attitude. From the end of the Anti-Japanese War to now, in the past few decades, China's development has been very fast.

What they lack is time.

After dinner, Tina held Jiang Yu's hand.

"Jiang, I brought a lot of jewelry this time, which is very suitable for you. I really like you so much. I want to give you a gift. I hope you won't refuse it."

Jiang Yu smiled, "You can have a good time, which is the biggest gift for me. I beg you and Stephen to stay for a few more days in this historic city. It won't let you down."

Tina grinned, her green eyes sparkling.

"So, you rejected me?" She pretended to be angry.

Director Lian had been observing her expression. Seeing her change of expression, his heart skipped a beat.

"Xiao Li, what did she say?"

Li Yunzhao frowned and said, "Tina wanted to give a gift to Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu refused."

Liu Juanxiu felt sour and glared at Jiang Yu.

Zhao Hongbo hurriedly urged: "Jiang Yu, you should agree quickly. They want to give you a gift, don't be ignorant."

Liu Juanxiu curled her lips, "You can just speak a few words in foreign language, but what if you offend them and leave tomorrow?"

Director Lian's eyes were filled with worry. These foreign businessmen were an important step in introducing foreign investment projects.

If they were not successful, the road ahead would definitely be more difficult.

He felt a little regretful. Jiang Yu was still too young.

Jiang Yu ignored them and tilted his head.

"Yes, I refuse."

Tina raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Why? You should know that my jewelry is very valuable."

Jiang Yu smiled and explained, "There is an old saying in our country, no reward without merit. If you regard me as a friend, then our friendship should not be measured by material things."

Tina's eyes lit up, "Of course we are friends, I like you very much."

"We also have an old saying, which is reciprocity. You gave me a gift, and as a friend, I need to give a gift in return. But your jewelry is too valuable, and I can't give you a gift of equal value in return. I can't take advantage of you. Friends get along with each other by giving to each other, not just asking for things."

Stephen's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said, "My dear, Jiang treats you as a real friend."

The smile on Jiang Yu's face deepened. She just didn't care about these small profits. If she was going to get it, she would go for the big one.

"Compared to expensive jewelry, I hope you can give our factory a chance to cooperate. Although China is backward, the quality of our products is not worse than that of foreign countries, with high quality and low price. I believe that you will earn more than you spend on this trip."

Stephen nodded repeatedly, "We originally planned to stay in Beicheng for three days, but for you, we decided to extend the time to a week... No, is ten days enough?"

Director Lian clenched his fists excitedly. Ten days are enough for them to visit multiple factories!

Jiang Yu did not agree immediately, and said embarrassedly: "Ten days may not be enough for you to visit all the attractions. But I also have a job, and the time I can accompany you may not be too long, so let's do ten days."

Director Lian: "..." What is this? He will go to Director Zheng tomorrow to borrow Jiang Yu!

Tina and Stephen discussed it and made a decision: "Half a month, please reserve half a month for us. I just want you to translate for us and take us to see the scenery of North City."

Jiang Yu held her hand with a bright smile.

"My honor!"

Seeing Tina and Stephen walk away, Director Lian gave Jiang Yu a thumbs up.

"Jiang Yu, you are amazing! We were worried before. What if they leave after a few days of visiting? Half a month is enough time for us to visit many factories!"

Jiang Yu said, "We can't take them to every factory. They are here for tourism. If the schedule is too tight, they will feel uncomfortable."

Zhao Hongbo sneered, "You know more than Director Lian."

Director Lian looked at him unsatisfiedly, "Jiang Yu certainly knows Stephen better than me. They are already friends! If you can't help, just learn to shut up."

Everyone is working hard for the interests of the country now. Is this the time to calculate personal gains and losses?

These words made Zhao Hongbo's face turn pale and he ran away in shame.
