Chapter 233: Take a walk to help digestion
Secretary Li's accompanying translator and secretary got off the car and waited on the side, watching Shen Meng and Jiang Huan say goodbye. The two sisters chatted with each other, as if they had endless things to say.
"Secretary, look at Comrade Shen. How can she be so friendly with an older sister she just met?"
"When Comrade Hu Biao mentioned it before, I really wanted to suggest you not to bring her along. After all, although she knows about the hair flower yesterday, she is just a country woman. When she meets foreign guests, I'm afraid she won't even dare to show her face."
Secretary Guan disliked Shen Meng very much. He felt that a country woman with no education and culture was already a great favor from Secretary Li's family to have a decent job. Now she wanted to get involved in everything. She was really arrogant.
Secretary Li did not say anything. He listened to what the people around him said in one ear and out the other. He felt that Shen Meng was a man of great ambitions and would not do useless things. Moreover, according to his observation, this Jiang Huan, although not dressed to look rich, was well dressed and well-spoken. He looked like a man who had seen the world.
After a while, Shen Meng and Jiang Huan separated and walked to Secretary Li's side. Secretary Guan looked at her with a sullen face.
"Comrade Shen, you finally finished talking to your elder sister whom you just met. Our Secretary Li has been waiting for you for a long time, and now he hasn't even found a car!"
"No need to look for it, let's wait at the station for a while, and a car will come to pick us up in about five minutes."
Secretary Guan snorted coldly when he heard her words. The station was crowded with people, and everyone was carrying large and small bags. It was not easy to find a car. If Secretary Li hadn't been unwilling to let people from the provincial capital come to pick them up, they would have been in a car now.
He waited for Shen Meng for so long in vain, and he said shamelessly that a car would come to pick them up soon. If this is true, his last name should be written backwards.
Secretary Li pretended not to notice Secretary Guan's ugly face and just smiled at Guan He. Shen Meng immediately understood that some things don't need to be said too clearly, just wait for the slap in the face.
The group carried their bags to the place where they were waiting for the bus. After a while, two electric tricycles stopped by the roadside. A burly and clean man shouted to the crowd.
"Who is Comrade Shen Meng? Get on the bus."
"Hey, comrade, I'm Shen Meng. Here are my IDs. Secretary Zheng, Tang Translator, let's get on the bus quickly!"
Secretary Li glanced at Secretary Zheng and Tang Translator, and followed Shen Meng directly. Tang Translator was now very glad that he had been polite just now, otherwise he would be embarrassed.
Secretary Guan followed closely behind several people, his face was a little pale, he felt as if he was slapped in the face, it hurt so much.
After arriving at the reception, Secretary Guan got out of the car and saw Shen Meng talking to the burly man with a smile, calling him "brother" and "brother", and even stuffed a handful of candy into the man's pocket.
He was very curious in his heart, how could she, a country woman, be so comfortable in a strange place, start chatting with this man as soon as she met him, and have so many things to say, it was amazing.
After registering, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Shen Meng didn't want to go out at night, so she told Secretary Li directly that he didn't need to call her for dinner or shout at her in the evening. She brought some dry food with her. Now she felt dizzy from the car ride and had to go to rest quickly.
This guesthouse belongs to the government. It has a canteen at the back. You can order food by yourself. It doesn't cost anything. You just need to take the bill back to get reimbursed.
Secretary Li gave instructions and went out with Secretary Guan and Translator Tang. Their primary task this time was to take orders for hair flowers, so they had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find out how the hair flowers in Ning County were selling. They also had to stay at the Friendship Store. It would be best if they could meet a few foreign guests and promote Ning County's local specialties.
Creating foreign exchange was something that we didn't dare to think about before. Now we have the opportunity and we must seize it. Even if we can't make a deal, we have to have a good chat with foreigners and accumulate some experience. It doesn't matter if it's not possible now, but it may not be possible in the future.
The three people hurried out. Shen Meng lowered her eyes for a moment, smiled at the receptionist, and turned to go to the room.
After returning to the room, she went directly into the space. The hardware and software of the guesthouses these days are not very good. She might as well go to her own space and lie down on her own bed to sleep.
After waking up, she made a table of hot pot for herself and ate a delicious meal. She was so satisfied that she lay on the recliner and started browsing with her mobile phone.
European and American head flowers are very different from those in China. They advocate luxury, and it is best to have some embellishments on them. Shen Meng saw that some of them were very tacky, but they were the best sold in the small commodity market. Some were indeed very delicate, and of course the unit price was also expensive.
Some of them were heavy-duty head flowers, and some were complicated head ornaments.
Shen Meng was not sure whether some hair ornaments could be made these days, but there was no machinery factory in Ning County. If she wanted to find some materials, she could only look for them in the provincial capital. However, the people in the machinery factory were always arrogant and might not be willing to take small orders.
She was a little troubled for a moment.
After eating and drinking, she could go out for a walk to digest the food.
The nightlife in the provincial capital had just begun, and some workers who were off work would make an appointment to go to the cinema to watch a movie. There were open shops on both sides of the cinema where they could buy some food and drinks.
Shen Meng wandered around for a while. People looked at her from time to time on the road, but she didn't mind. When she went out at night, she deliberately permed her hair into a big wave and wore a white ribbon hair ornament with crystals on her head. It was very big, but really very beautiful.
Hong Kong martial arts movies are also very popular in the mainland. Many of the things worn by the actors and actresses on their heads are eye-catching, but this is the first time I have seen someone wearing them on their heads.
"Hi, girl, please wait a moment."
Shen Meng turned around and saw two foreigners greeting her enthusiastically. She also shyly replied in English. Although she still had a little accent, it was just right and cute.
The two foreigners immediately smiled.
Jesse walked to Shen Meng's side and raised his hand proudly.
"Girl, the headdress on your head is so beautiful. If you sell it to me, I am willing to pay a high price for it."
"I'm sorry, that may not be possible. I use this headdress to find a partner. There is a group of clever women in my hometown. These are all handmade by them. Thank you for appreciating and liking our products. If you want to buy it, I will find a partner and you can buy it from my partner. Maybe when you return to your hometown, you can also buy the headdress you like there."
The two foreigners were obviously very surprised at the direct refusal to buy them the headdress at a high price. Since they set foot on this land, they have always been treated as guests of honor. Everyone who sees them is polite. This is the first time they have been rejected.
Jesse was a little unhappy, but Mark felt that the girl in front of him was very smart, because he saw ambition in her smiling eyes.
