Chapter 259: Cultural Differences


At the banquet, as time went by, the communication between Zhao Guoyang and Suzanne gradually deepened. \ To Zhao Guoyang's surprise, although Suzanne knew a lot about Chinese history and humanities, she really knew a lot of things.

If it weren't for the memories of decades of her previous life, she might not be able to answer her endless questions.

Suzanne also praised Zhao Guoyang's profound knowledge, bluntly saying that he was the most knowledgeable peer she had ever met.

"Guoyang, you are here, Mayor Huang just said that he wants you to go for Teacher Zhang for a while."

Behind him, Mao Zhichun's voice interrupted the conversation between Zhao Guoyang and Susanna.

Hearing Mao Zhichun's voice, Zhao Guoyang hurriedly turned his head and said, "Cheng, Chairman Mao, I'll go over for Teacher Zhang."

This night, I'm afraid she was too busy to even eat anything."

Mao Zhichun took the wine glass and said "um": "Yes, Mr.

Zhang is busy translating for important figures such as Mayor Huang and Governor Baptista, so he has time to drink some drinks to moisten his mouth."

Before Zhao Guoyang could say more, Suzanne next to him took his hand and said, "Zhao, since that's the case, let's go over together and let Miss Zhang rest for a while." ” Zhao Guoyang's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately stretched out.

Looking at Chairman Mao, who was stunned beside him, he could only reluctantly speak: "Chairman Mao, then Miss Suzanne and I will go over first." ” "Ah, good, good" Mao Zhichun nodded stupidly, and the look of surprise on his face even Suzanne on the side could be seen.

"Hehe, that Mr.

Mao just now, did you misunderstand something" When she walked towards the crowd, Suzanne couldn't help but ask.

Looking at the sly gaze of the eldest lady beside him, Zhao Guoyang shook his head helplessly and said, "You, ask knowingly."

I don't believe that you have studied Chinese culture for so long, and you don't know that men and women are not intimate.

Being held by you like this, after I go back, I still know how to be cared for by the leaders. ” "Giggles, Zhao, you are so honest, unlike most Huaxia people."

Suzanne said with some delight.

When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he paused slightly, looked at Suzanne and said with a smile: "I see what you mean, it should be our Consul General Luan Shengfeng."

Seeing Suzanne nodding again and again, Zhao Guoyang snorted slightly, and said calmly: "Actually, this question has to be looked at dialectically. ” "A lot of times, the bluntness of your Western countries is a kind of courtesy; And humility and compliment in our Chinese culture are also a kind of politeness.

This is mainly due to the differences between the two cultures. ” Suzanne nodded when she heard this, and echoed, "Zhao, what you said is very right.

I also know that Mr.

Luan is a good person, but sometimes he likes to praise people too much. ” Listening to Susanna's little complaint, Zhao Guoyang was secretly amused in his heart, and said in his heart: You think that our Consul General Luan will praise people when he sees them, then this praise is too worthless.

It's only in the face of you, the governor's daughter, that he will say a few more words of praise.

When the two of them walked in the direction of Huang Zhigang, Baptista and other bigwigs, many people had already noticed them along the way.

In addition to the delegation from the Chinese side, there are also quite a few dignitaries from the state of São Paulo who have come to attend this banquet today.

These people, naturally, know Susanna, the beautiful governor's daughter.

When Suzanne was seen holding the hand of a tall and handsome man with black hair, a smile of relief appeared on the faces of these people.

"Dad, Mayor Huang, let's replace Miss Zhang."

Suzanne generously pulled Zhao Guoyang and walked in front of Huang Zhigang and Baptista.

Seeing the suspicious gaze of Mayor Huang and Teacher Zhang next to him, Zhao Guoyang hurriedly coughed, quietly broke free of Susanna's hand and said, "Mayor Huang, Teacher Zhang is so busy that I probably haven't eaten much, I'll replace her for a while." ” Hearing this, Zhang Yufang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no."

Guoyang, you're so polite, this is my job."

"Hey, Mr.

Zhang, Guoyang is right, we are in a delegation, we are a family.

Guoyang's Portuguese is so good, it doesn't hurt for him to help share some of it.

You go over there and get something to eat, and we'll have to rely on you tomorrow." ” "This" Zhang Yufang hesitated for a moment, and could only nod in response.

Before going to the grill over there, she didn't forget to cast a grateful look at Zhao Guoyang.

Zhao Guoyang smiled at Teacher Zhang disapprovingly, shrugged his shoulders, and said that it was okay.

On the other side, Baptista naturally saw his daughter, who came over holding Zhao Guoyang's hand.

The governor was not as surprised as Mayor Huang, but said to Huang Zhigang with a smile: "Mayor Huang, this young man under your command is very capable."

Listening to the words of this big man praising himself, Zhao Guoyang was a little helpless, and he didn't know how to translate it to Mayor Huang.

Suzanne on the side couldn't care so much, and explained directly to Huang Zhigang: "Mr.

Mayor, my father is praising Zhao, saying that he is very capable and talented."

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart: Very talented, this is the eldest lady, you added it yourself After Zhao Guoyang and Susanna, half-baked translators, Mayor Huang and Governor Baptista talked without any hindrance.

Basically, as soon as the words of the two came out, Zhao Guoyang was able to translate the corresponding language fluently.

Luan Shengfeng, who had been paying attention to the situation here, saw this situation, and was amazed in his heart.

For Zhao Guoyang, a young man, he is becoming more and more curious.

The dinner lasted for almost two hours, and it was a joyous and harmonious atmosphere.

In addition to Mayor Huang and Governor Baptista, Zhao Guoyang is the most high-profile one at the scene today.

Several politicians in the state of São Paulo also chatted with him when they came to toast.

Generally, these bigwigs have a good impression of Zhao Guoyang.

What Zhao Guoyang didn't notice was that when a few bigwigs came to talk to him, in an inconspicuous position, the Germanic translator of Songqi Group soared, and the eyes cast at him were full of jealousy.

After the dinner, it was finally time to leave.

Originally, according to Consul General Luan Shengfeng's suggestion, Mayor Huang and several bigwigs such as Yao Gang, Yu Pengfei, and Li Kejian could stay at the Consulate General, and only let the rest stay in a hotel in Sao Paulo.

But this suggestion was firmly rejected by Huang Zhigang.

In Mayor Huang's words, since he is the head of the delegation, he must live in the same place with everyone, and he cannot engage in specialization.

Moreover, in the Consulate General, there are not only officials from Huaxia, but also some staff members of Samba State, in short, it is a lot of inconvenience.

So in the end, Mayor Huang asked Consul General Luan to introduce a five-star hotel, and then drove over with everyone.

Before leaving, Governor Baptista and other dignitaries of São Paulo naturally shook hands with Mayor Huang and his entourage and waved goodbye.

What is surprising is that after shaking hands with Chairman Mao of Songqi Group, the governor actually stretched out his hand to Zhao Guoyang, who was hiding on the edge, and greeted.

"Zhao, you're good, you're good, I heard that you promised Suzanne to help her take a look at the fault of the car, that's really thanks" Baptista smiled and shook hands with Zhao Guoyang, who came up.

Glancing at Suzanne who stuck out her tongue at herself behind Baptista, Zhao Guoyang looked helpless.

On the way back, I took a business car from the Consulate General.

Originally, the car was a nine-seater, and it happened that Mayor Huang and his bigwigs, plus Consul General Luan and Teacher Zhang, were just right, but Mayor Huang Zhigang specially let Zhao Guoyang also get into the car, saying that it was a squeeze.

After Mayor Huang spoke, Chairman Mao, who saw that the opportunity was tight, hurriedly stood up, saying that he had something to explain to the people of Songqi Group, and turned into a car behind.

Sitting in the position of Chairman Mao, Zhao Guoyang saw Mayor Huang, Minister Yao Gang, and Minister Yu Pengfei, and cast a playful look at him.

The first to speak was Yao Gang, the bigwig of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, from his doubts about Zhao Guoyang at the beginning, to his gradual appreciation, and now, he is extremely optimistic about Zhao Guoyang, a young man.

"Guoyang, you kid is okay, this is just the first day I came to Samba Country, and I made the beautiful daughter of Governor Baptista fall for you, amazing, really a hero out of a young man" Listening to Minister Yao's ridiculous words, Zhao Guoyang's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

Now he is completely different from the young talent who talked and laughed at the banquet just now, and finally has a little young look, which makes several bigwigs finally have a little balance in their hearts.

After Yao Gang finished ridiculing, Yu Pengfei also laughed a few words, and naturally praised Zhao Guoyang a few words.

After the two finished speaking, Consul General Luan smiled and said, "Hehe, Comrade Xiao Zhao is really good.

I don't know a lot about the politics and culture of Samba country, and I also have a great demeanor in speech and behavior, especially the level of Portuguese, I think I can almost catch up with Mr.

Zhang. ” Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang hurriedly said humbly: "Consul General Luan, I don't dare to be this."

I've only learned a little bit of Portuguese, so how can I compare with Mr.

Zhang. ” Seeing that Zhao Guoyang was so humble, several bigwigs didn't say anything, but they all nodded secretly in their hearts.

Needless to say, this young man is capable, but the difficulty is that he does not have the meaning of being young and vigorous, which is really a very rare thing.

Zhang Yufang, who was sitting behind Zhao Guoyang, heard this, so he chuckled and said, "Guoyang, don't be modest."

When you were translating to Mayor Huang and Mr.

Baptista, I heard it all over the side. ” "Your vocabulary and translation accuracy are no worse than mine.

I think it's more than enough for you to come to our Aurora University as a Portuguese teacher":
