Seeing that Jiang Sui Sui was unmoved, the foreign leader could only continue, "Let's forget about today's incident. Maybe my wording was inappropriate, causing you to misunderstand that I was insulting your country. But I think there is one thing I said that is not wrong. If you can come to the United States, you will find that China is indeed not as good as the United States. The United States has the freest atmosphere, the most superior living environment, and everything is the most advanced. And these are all things you can't experience. If you are interested, you can get to know that lady first. We had a very pleasant communication just now."
The leader pointed at Jiang Qiuzhen, who took two steps back in bewilderment.
To be honest, Jiang Suishun said a lot just now. She could barely understand it at the beginning, but she became more and more confused as time went on.
Jiang Qiuzhen was shocked to find that her English level after studying abroad was not as good as that of an ordinary passerby who came out of nowhere! Could it be that...she had also studied abroad?
The passerby Jiang Sui Sui smiled and said calmly: "Although I have never been to the United States, I know very well that arrogance can ruin a person and a country at the same time. If the United States is full of arrogant people like you, then I think its glory will not last long."
The leader shook his head and said, "Saying something like this only proves that you are arrogant. I think you will be disappointed no matter what, because even if the United States loses its glory in a few hundred years, it will never be the turn of the backward China!"
Hearing this, the two elders of the Zhao family looked very ugly, as if they had been insulted.
Jiang Sui Sui snorted and laughed, "I'm sorry, I think you've got the difference between arrogance and self-confidence wrong. You think highly of yourself and look down on others, which is called arrogance. I fight for my country and my compatriots, and believe that my country will become better and better under the construction of the hardworking, brave and kind Chinese people, which is called self-confidence."
"If you don't believe it, just wait and see. In a few decades, at most, not a few hundred years, you will see earth-shaking changes in China, and then you will appreciate what it means to be a truly great country."
“Pah, pah, pah!”
There was a round of applause. Jiang Suisui turned around and saw the two elders of the Zhao family clapping their hands with satisfaction. They looked at her and nodded, saying, "Girl, well said!"
The three foreigners seemed to find it unreasonable and impossible to continue communicating. They could only laugh and said they didn't want to waste time any more. Finally, they left in a hurry.
Jiang Suisui looked at their departing backs, let out a long sigh, and snorted, "How arrogant!"
When Jiang Qiuzhen saw Jiang Suishun driving those foreigners away, she felt as if she had been slapped in the face, with a burning sensation on her face.
She didn't care about the attitude of the two elders of the Zhao family, and couldn't help but jump up and said, "You've angered everyone and left. You're really great! We Chinese have always valued peace. If you are so aggressive, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our country if it gets out?!"
Jiang Suishun felt that the most unreasonable person was Jiang Qiuzhen. If the previous problem was caused by language barriers, it was understandable, but Jiang Qiuzhen still had such an attitude when she had already clearly stated the facts and the attitudes of those foreigners were obviously contemptuous. I really don't know what was going on in her mind.
Jiang Sui Sui asked: "Does harmony mean that you have to cater to others without any bottom line? This will not make others look up to you, but will make them think you are weak and can be bullied. Only by arguing with reason and trying hard to maintain your dignity can you win real respect."
Jiang Qiuzhen sneered, "Respect? I think they are so angry at you that they want to hit someone. Where is the respect?"
Jiang Suisui sighed, "There are always arrogant and overbearing people like this in this world. To win their respect, you have to be stronger than them, so strong that they will be jealous and afraid of you, and then they will respect you."
"Well said!" The two elders of the Zhao family stepped forward and praised Jiang Suisui. "If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Only when you become strong can you hold your own and gain the respect of others. This is the reality. The invasion of foreign barbarians was just a few decades ago. The result of being servile is to give in again and again. You young people should remember these tragic pasts and learn lessons from them."
The second half of the words of the two elders of the Zhao family were suggestive. Jiang Qiuzhen felt her cheeks flushed and she could hardly face anyone.
She stuttered as she explained, "Grandpa Zhao, Grandma Zhao, I just... just suddenly, I didn't hear clearly what they said, and their pronunciation was really not standard, so there was a little misunderstanding. I definitely didn't agree with them!"
Old Mrs. Zhao sighed inwardly. Her impression of Jiang Qiuzhen had dropped from being very satisfied to the bottom.
She had also lived abroad for more than ten years. As long as she was willing to learn, even an old woman like her could learn foreign languages to a savvy level. In addition, it was normal to encounter a variety of accents in a foreign environment. It was not difficult to understand what those people were saying.
However, Jiang Qiuzhen, who had studied abroad for several years, said that the other party's pronunciation was not standard and she could not understand him.
While communicating with those foreigners just now, Mrs. Zhao glanced at several other young people who had also studied abroad, and they all had confused expressions on their faces.
Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. Those big families that were once prosperous have now become completely hopeless.
Jiang Qiuzhen saw the disappointed expressions on the faces of the two elders of the Zhao family, and she felt anxious and tried hard to improve her impression points.
She was like a desperate doctor, she simply pulled Jiang Suisui and said, "Tell me, have you studied abroad too? Why were you hiding in the corner? After I made a fool of myself with my speech, you jumped out and spoke to steal the limelight. Was it intentional?"
Jiang Suunsui was about to leave: ???
Seeing this, Song Weizheng rudely slapped Jiang Qiuzhen's hand, pulled Jiang Suisui over, and said coldly: "Don't do anything rash. If you want to vent your anger, find a place to vent it yourself."
Only then did Old Lady Zhao turn her attention to Song Weizhen. Just now, when Jiang Suinshun was arguing with the foreigner, she had noticed this young man with surprise. At that time, something flashed through her mind for a moment, but she didn't catch it.
At this time Song Wei Zheng stood up again. Old Mrs. Zhao moved her feet slightly, subconsciously wanting to go forward to see more clearly.
At this moment, the tour guide who had been standing by and not saying anything spoke up weakly: "Girl, can I ask you what you just said to those foreigners?"
Jiang Suishun then realized that the person responsible for the incident had not yet given an explanation.
She briefly told the tour guide the general situation, and before he could respond, she added: "Given that you don't know any foreign languages, but you still charge them to be their guide, if this is true, I think you really need to apologize to them for this."
When the tour guide heard her describe the previous situation, he was furious and gnashing his teeth. Now he heard Jiang Suisui mention that he could not speak English but still charged for being a tour guide. He was so anxious that he was sweating and hurriedly explained to her: "Sister, it's really not like that! I didn't expect these foreign devils to say that behind my back! Listen to me explain to you, they took the initiative to find our travel agency two days ago and said they wanted to hire a tour guide to take them to visit the best and most famous attractions in our Beijing city."
"But our only guide who knows a little bit of foreign language has been ill these days and can't go out. We have explained this to them and asked them to either wait for two days or ask another travel agency. They said they don't mind, as long as someone can show them the way, it doesn't matter if there is no introduction!"
Jiang Suisui was confused: "So they said you charged a high guide fee..."
The tour guide was so angry and anxious at this moment that he wanted to drag those foreigners back and scold them in person. How could they talk such nonsense?
The tour guide angrily said, "What a bullshit tour guide fee! I thought I didn't know any foreign language, didn't do much, and could only run errands for them, so I didn't feel comfortable charging them much! Considering that they were rare guests from far away, I even took them to find the best hotels and accommodations. Of course, the prices of good hotels and guesthouses would not be too low. But I swear to God, I didn't charge them a penny!"
The tour guide complained aggrievedly: "Who knew these foreigners looked so rich, but were actually so stingy... They think I'm cheating them for this little money!"
Not only that, when these foreigners arrived at the hotels and guesthouses he introduced, they pointed and talked with disgust on their faces, making him feel very uneasy, fearing that he had neglected his foreign friends in some way.
The result... Pah! What an ungrateful foreigner!
The tour guide felt cold and angry, and was simply filled with grievances.
Jiang Suisui suddenly understood after hearing this: "So that's how it is."
Jiang Qiuzhen's face turned redder when she heard this. She stammered a few times and couldn't help but interrupt, "It's true that as a tour guide, you brought a bad experience to the guests. This is because you didn't do your job well. There's no excuse for that."
The tour guide looked in the direction of the sound and became even more anxious and angry.
He pointed at Jiang Qiuzhen with a trembling hand and said, "Girl, I have no grudge against you, why do you insist on throwing dirty water on me! I just saw you chatting happily with these foreign devils, you are not saying bad things about me with them, are you?!"
Jiang Qiuzhen couldn't help but get angry when she heard this: "You asked us for help without explaining the matter clearly. I was only responsible for helping you communicate with them, and I had no obligation to understand the whole situation. You still have the right to blame me?"
Seeing that the tour guide and Jiang Qiuzhen were about to quarrel, Jiang Suisui quickly stopped them and said, "Stop, stop, stop, this is not the point now! Since the tour guide did not deceive them and did not charge excessive fees, just explain it."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The tour guide nodded quickly and said, "I really didn't lie to them. We are authentic Beijingers. We are honest in our work and never cheat people! But these foreigners have bad tempers. Forget about explaining. Let them be. Anyway, I don't plan to take their work anymore!"
