Chapter 608: Human languages vary, but human expressions are basically similar
On August 31st, the delegation to Thailand gathered in a small conference room on the 17th floor for a meeting, which could also be considered a training session.
I was about to go upstairs when Chen Xiaoxia called me and asked if I had time.
"The meeting is about to start. What do you want?"
"I have a friend who wants to see you."
I knew what "want to see me" meant, so I said, "Let's talk after the meeting."
She said, "Mr. Wan, you must remember how long your meeting will take."
"About an hour."
"Okay. I'll ring your bell in an hour."
I walked into Mr. Chen's office and said, "Qing Ruo said everyone is here. Please come over and speak."
Mr. Chen closed the folder, stood up and left.
I accompanied him into the small conference room. Everyone was seated. It was an oval table. Mr. Chen and I sat in the center.
I chaired the meeting.
"Everyone, we're leaving for Thailand tomorrow. We're holding a small meeting today. Mr. Chen attaches great importance to this inspection and is attending the meeting in person. Now, we welcome Mr. Chen to give us his instructions."
Applause broke out.
Mr. Chen said: "Mr. Wan has to go to Thailand for something. Taking this opportunity, the company will organize you to go to Thailand for an inspection. First of all, I want to make it clear that you are not going there for tourism, but to learn from other people's travel experiences.
Therefore, I ask everyone to read, think, and reflect with the goal of learning, and come back to write a substantial inspection report.
Don’t write articles like travelogues, otherwise the fees will be deducted from your salary (everyone laughs).
For example, Manager Wei, you need to learn the strengths of the hotel industry.
Comrade Qing Ruo, if you want to know about other people's tourism, especially water entertainment, whether there is anything suitable for us and whether we can learn from it.
Comrade Wu Xiaosong, you should observe what good ideas others have in marketing.
I have not covered everything. Other comrades can combine their own actual situation and make sure they have something to think about and gain from their trip.
I have another meeting, and General Manager Wan will discuss the specific requirements with you. Thank you, everyone.
Everyone stood up and applauded to see Mr. Chen off.
After Mr. Chen left, I said, "Mr. Chen has clearly stated the overall goal, so I won't repeat myself. I just want to discuss a few specific points.
First, everyone's image represents not only the rising sun, but also China. This image has a broad scope. But it doesn't just refer to clothing and appearance, which everyone is an expert in.
First, facial expressions. Why facial expressions? Because when you speak, only a few people can understand you. Everyone must control their facial expressions.
There are two aspects to facial expressions. The first is not to be disdainful. You have your own habits, and others have their own habits. You can't use yours as a standard.
For example, if someone eats a rice ball with their hands, you think it's unhygienic and show disdain. This is not okay. Human languages are different, but human expressions are basically similar.
Second, don't be envious. For example, I heard from over there that my client, Mr. Chalun, would be accompanying us throughout the trip. He's a tycoon in the local tourism industry, and his family is incredibly wealthy.
Don't be so complacent when you see his house's lavish decorations. Don't be so complacent when you see him privately sighing about how rich he is. Don't do that. Because people like us to look like we're ignorant.
Everyone laughed. President Wei said, "After the meeting, please go to the presidential suite."
I said, "Yes. Mr. Wei is the most knowledgeable person. Secondly, it's about food. There are some things we may not have eaten before and don't know how to eat them."
We'll just watch the translator, Sasa. I'll tell her she's been in Thailand for many years. We'll peel the fish the same way she does.
You can’t be like a friend of mine who has never been to Guangzhou and drinks other people’s dishwater as tea.” (Everyone laughs).
Manager Wei said, "It's OK for everyone to look at me."
I said, "Yes. Mr. Wei is very knowledgeable in this area. Secondly, regarding the expenses, we insist on paying them ourselves. Mr. Wei will manage the entire cost, so don't worry. Mr. Chalun insisting on paying is another matter."
In short, we represent the Chinese people, the well-educated Chinese people. We should maintain a neither humble nor arrogant attitude. Thailand is behind us, and the resulting sense of arrogance is misplaced.
Everyone's quite well-mannered, so there's no need to talk about everything. Oh, and one thing to note: if a girl wants to hug me, don't laugh."
The whole audience laughed.
I said, "I'm serious. Maybe someone else wants to hug Manager Wei, but Manager Wei doesn't mind. But Xiao Wu, you have to be open and honest.
Don't worry, Ningjing, she's been stationed overseas for a few years. Wenjing, you should be more generous. If you want a hug, just hug. It's etiquette."
Wen Jing smiled and said, "Boss Wan, I also worked in Shenzhen."
Everyone laughed.
I said, "Actually, there's not much to say. We're all knowledgeable people. My words might be superfluous."
Qing Ruo said, "It's not superfluous. Mr. Wan is the leader, and I'm his deputy. I think it's right to take precautions. Especially when we get to Zhalun's house, we don't need to make a fuss."
Also, Mr. Wan, regarding seeing transvestites, are there any precautions you would like to mention?
I said, "I haven't seen a ladyboy either. Don't laugh, I really haven't seen one. I'll ask the translator about the precautions in this regard when we get there."
I wonder if anyone has any further questions. If not, President Wei will take everyone to the presidential suite for a look."
After the meeting, I didn't go to the presidential suite. I remembered Chen Xiaoxia and called her.
She said, "So fast. Okay, I'll bring her up."
I entered 1701. The waiter came in and said, "Mr. Wan, I went to the hospital for a checkup and found that I have liver problems. I'm taking medication now. Thank you for your guidance."
I said, “Is it okay?”
She smiled and said, "It's not a big problem, but the doctor said we can't delay. Early detection and early treatment are important."
At this time, Chen Xiaoxia led a woman in.
