Chapter 1331 Is there still trust between us?
After Li Ye and others arrived at the banquet, the person in charge of reception at Kamaz also noticed that the car they were riding in had the embassy license plate, and then hurried to report to Sumenkov.
Li Ye and others ignored all this and just led two translators into the banquet.
Then he found that everyone in the inspection team gathered together, looking at Sofia's classmate named "Cindy" standing on the stage and "whining" in silence.
Li Ye came closer and asked Sun Xianjin in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
Sun Xianjin replied in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm just watching the monkey show!"
“.”
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then he listened carefully to Cindy's English with a slight hint of curry, and finally he understood what was going on.
Cindy was giving an impassioned "speech". The content of the speech was very simple. She repeatedly emphasized how powerful white elephants are and how they are already the most important influencing force in the current world situation.
The reason why Sun Xianjin said he was performing a monkey show was because no one had ever seen such a form of speech with exaggerated movements. Those who couldn't understand English found it funny, and those who could understand English found it even funnier.
Because Cindy is explaining why the white elephants are so important, because they are the successors of the British Empire, and all the glory of the British Empire in Asia should be inherited by their white elephants.
Think about Britain back then, it was the world's number one, even more powerful than the Lighthouse Country. The White Elephant has inherited the mantle of the world's number one, so shouldn't it be stronger?
He also vaguely mentioned the war in 1962, saying that if his side was not "peace-loving", he would definitely teach the flower-growing people a severe lesson.
But just when Cindy was dancing and talking happily, someone quickly walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.
Then he looked at Li Ye and others who had just returned.
Li Ye understood that someone must have told him that a car from the Hua family embassy was coming.
Then, Cindy hurriedly said: "Today is not a formal occasion, so we are just chatting, and what I say only represents my personal opinion."
[Okay! You know you're just talking nonsense about atmospheric pressure!]
Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.
It turns out that the White Elephant people are also afraid of being exaggerated, and when facing some sensitive people, they know to distance themselves from them as soon as possible.
This is just like a person who keeps yelling that he wants to beat you up, and suddenly sees you clench your fist, and immediately starts to seek peace.
He can brag all he wants, but when it comes to the real thing, he is clearer-headed than anyone else.
But he had already been complaining here for quite some time, so how could he let everyone go with just one sentence?
So Li Ye muttered, "He said he inherited the glory of Britain? But we defeated Britain! Shouldn't their glory be our spoils of war?"
Li Ye said this in Chinese, so whether or not this should be translated depends on Liang Furu's opinion.
If you think what I said is inappropriate, just pretend I didn't say it.
If Liang Fu had not asked the translator to translate Li Ye's words, although the Flower Planting Family did defeat Britain on the peninsula, they had no intention of becoming the overlord of Asia now. He saw no need to refute Bai Xiang's arrogant words.
You're just bragging. I don't want to bother with you.
But a few minutes later, Cindy, who had finished her speech, found Li Ye.
"Sir, you disagree with my opinion just now, right?"
Li Ye looked at the other person, then waved to Lao Shao.
Lao Shao immediately came over with an embassy translator.
The translator asked politely, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Cindy hesitated, but still said: "I protest against the gentleman's words just now. He thinks that if Britain is defeated, our honor should be regarded as a trophy."
Li Ye was immediately surprised. He didn't expect that this guy actually knew Chinese.
But then he thought about it and felt that something was wrong. If the other party understood Chinese, his expression should not have shown no reaction when Li Ye spoke just now.
Li Ye glanced around and found Sophia smiling.
Cindy must have some feelings for Sophia, so after the speech just now, she stuck to Sophia, so Sophia is the biggest suspect.
Sophia claims that she has been learning idioms recently. So could it be that she has already mastered Chinese and is just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
You have to know that some smart people are always one step ahead of others.
Decades later, when many people are still trying hard to learn the London accent, many elite schools in Germany have already generally offered Chinese courses. Wherever the center of the world is in the future, the language of that place will be sought after.
Cindy protested for two minutes and then waited for Li Ye's response.
Li Ye just said lightly: "Today is not a formal occasion, so we are just chatting casually. What I said only represents my personal opinion, so you can protest to me personally."
“.”
What is a boomerang?
Li Ye returned what Cindy said right after he said it, what are you still protesting about?
Cindy was stunned for a long time, then complained angrily: "Sir, don't think that we have won the battle with the British troops on the peninsula.
You should know that on the eve of the war, we rejected the United Nations' request to join the war and voted against it many times, so you should not be proud, but thank us instead."
[Oh my god, that's what's going on.]
Li Ye suddenly realized.
No wonder the White Elephant dared to show its teeth to the Flower Planting Party in 1962. It turned out that they did not participate in 1951!
If they had participated, the incident of 1962 probably wouldn't have happened.
Cindy's excited performance immediately attracted the attention of both parties.
Liang Furu came over and asked what was going on, and the people from Baixiang also rushed over.
But so what?
Everyone is just expressing their personal views. You think we were defeated in 1962, but we are not happy about it! Are you giving me face?
Even if Li Ye's words were inappropriate, he would accept criticism when he returned. Now, facing the gossips of outsiders, there is absolutely no way he would admit defeat.
I was "tricked" by the Kamaz people, and I'm full of anger, so I'm going to take it out on you.
But the people of Kamas are scared now. Promising a girl to two husbands is to increase the bride price, not to keep the girl in their hands!
"Everyone, you are all our guests. If you are not satisfied with anything, it is because we did not treat you well enough. Now it is time to dance. For the sake of friendship, please dance together."
“.”
The Maozi's social style is simple and straightforward, unlike the flower-growing people who are so tactful and implicit. A group of tall girls took the initiative to come on stage and invited the main figures of both sides to dance.
Li Ye was not a major figure, but a few girls took the initiative to invite him, but he politely declined.
And Cindy really went to pester Sophia to dance, but unfortunately Sophia was not attracted to him either.
But the White Elephant Man was much more persistent than the Flower Planter. Even though Sophia had clearly rejected him, he continued to pester her relentlessly.
Then, Sophia suddenly came towards Li Ye.
Cindy had just had a conflict with Li Ye, so after following for a few steps, she finally gave up helplessly.
Li Ye frowned when he saw Sophia coming over.
Then he asked directly in Chinese: "Comrade Sofia, do you want to invite me to dance?"
Sophia was stunned for two seconds before she smiled with relief and said, "If I invite you, will you agree?"
She speaks standard Chinese.
"well,"
Li Ye sighed and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Sofia, can we still communicate sincerely? Is there still trust between us?"
Sophia blinked and finally smiled: "Okay! If what happened with Cindy just now makes you feel uncomfortable, then I apologize to you. In order to express my apology, I can reveal an important news to you."
Li Ye stared at Sophia without saying a word.
He is now very wary of this beautiful woman. Who knows if the "important information" she mentioned is a trap.
Seeing that Li Ye didn't respond, Sophia took the initiative to say, "The White Elephant people didn't come here for civilian technology this time."
“.”
Li Ye also blinked: "That's great, we are here for civilian technology."
Sophia's mouth curled up.
"Really? Do you want to report this to your leader?"
Li Ye and Sophia looked at each other for a long time, then stood up and walked towards Liang Furu.
No matter what Sofia's intention was in revealing the information to me, I couldn't refuse without permission.
Because of the white elephant, but he really bought a big ship from Su Elephant.
