Chapter 533 Pei Yue's doubts
Pei Yue and Tian Shao are going to the urban area, which is also the terminal of the train station. After arriving at the station, the two walked out of the train station with the flow of people. Because they were not in a hurry, the two deliberately walked behind so that they would not be squeezed.
After leaving the train station and going outside, Tian Shao looked at the busy streets and the row upon row of high-rise buildings and shops, and finally felt the modern atmosphere.
Seeing her staring intently at the car and high-rise buildings, Pei Yue worried that she would be fascinated by the prosperity of Hong Kong City. Pressing his worry, Pei Yue said, "Xiao Shao, let's go, let's go ahead and make a call."
Came to a newsstand, Pei Yue first gave one dollar and then called Xing Shaohui. Tian Shao stood in front of the newsstand and read, and what he saw was a comic newspaper with a huge "Detective Gu Chuan" written on it.
A smile appeared on Tian Shao's face. It seemed that her comic book was selling more popular than expected in Hong Kong City. She picked up the comic and browsed it, and found that the supplement was a comic called "Bruce Lee".
Tian Shao was a little confused, Bruce Lee? Could it be martial arts star Bruce Lee? She has read many comics, but mainly the comics of Sakura Country and Beautiful Country, and very few comics from Hong Kong and Taiwan. But now that we are in this era, and she wants to open a comic company here, she must understand the current situation of this industry. Of course, the situation in Hong Kong City also needs to be understood.
After Pei Yue made the phone call, he saw Tian Shao picking something in front of the newspaper. He walked over and asked, "What are you buying these for?"
"I want to see what kind of comics are popular here in Hong Kong City."
Pei Yue didn't object, and took Tian Shao forward after paying the money. The billboards are all written in Cantonese, Tian Shao even guessed that Dai Meng probably knew what it meant. But none of these are useful, Pei Yue understands and says, she just needs to follow closely and not get lost.
After walking for about ten minutes, Pei Yue stopped under a tree next to a small shop, and said to Tian Shao, "Let's wait here!"
Tian Shao said unhappily: "Didn't you say that someone will pick us up in Hong Kong City, why do you want us to wait?"
The sun is like a stove, and she and Pei Yue are covered in sweat all the way. There was no way to rush on the road just now, but now I feel like I'm going to heat up when I stand outside. It was the same, she felt very uncomfortable.
Pei Yue explained: "He was going to pick us up at the train station, but he was called out by the manager for some unknown reason. He left a message at the front desk and said he would be back soon."
"Which bank does he work for?"
Pei Yue pointed to the majestic bank opposite, and said, "That's the one."
Tian Shao looked over and saw that the name on it was 'Standard Chartered Bank'. Come on, Standard Chartered Bank, there will still be a branch in Shanghai in 40 years time!
Tian Shao asked curiously: "He works at Standard Chartered Bank, why don't we go to the bank and wait here? Do we have any scruples?"
A big bank like this must have an air conditioner installed in the lobby. They went in and waited while blowing on the air conditioner, how comfortable they were. Standing on the side of the road under the sun, people are about to smoke, and it feels so silly.
Pei Yue said: "This kind of foreign-funded enterprises are very powerful and look down on mainlanders. I don't want you to be angry."
But as soon as he said this, he realized that it was wrong. He was sure that he didn't mention the name of the bank just now. How did Tian Shao know that it was called Standard Chartered Bank.
Tian Shao didn't care so much, and asked, "That person's name and position?"
"Xing Shaohui, business manager."
Pei Yue was very puzzled, when did Tian Shao learn English and speak it so well.
The doorman asked with some doubts: "Xing Shaohui?"
After Tian Shao heard it, he knew that Xing Shaohui must have used the English name in the bank. It's just that it's not easy to ask Pei Yue in front of the doorman. She smiled and said Xing Shaohui's position in English, and made a point of saying that Ming had just called and the other party said he would be back soon.
Although Tian Shao was dressed in ordinary clothes, the doorman did not dare to neglect her fluent English and made a gesture of invitation.
As soon as he entered the hall, Tian Shao suddenly felt a chill sweeping his whole body. She really felt like every pore was opened up. It's not easy. I have been here for three years and finally got the air conditioner.
The female staff came over with two glasses of water, and couldn't help but glance at Pei Yue several times. It has to be said that the handsome guy attracts attention wherever he goes.
Pei Yue took a look and saw that the people in the hall were busy and did not pay attention to them, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Xiao Shao, when will you know English?"
He didn't know about it before today, and this girl hid it too deeply.
"I said you were born with it, do you believe it?"
Pei Yue said helplessly: "Did Grandma Yuxiu teach you?"
It was quick to change his mind, thinking that she didn't know who checked Grandma Yuxiu back then. But thanks to his investigation, there is an excuse for doing some outrageous things after knowing the identity of Grandma Yuxiu.
Tian Shao smiled and said, "Otherwise, do you really think I'm born with it?"
Pei Yue felt that Tian Shao was very lucky to meet Comrade Yuxiu when he was a child. Otherwise, her talent will not be able to be displayed: "You can speak English very well, and none of the students in the School of Foreign Languages can speak it well."
He once saw a student from the School of Foreign Languages entertaining foreign guests. The student spoke well, but he was not as good as Tian Shao. Tian Shao speaks English like a bird singing.
Tian Shao heard the School of Foreign Languages, smiled and took out the fifty dollars from his satchel.
Pei Yue asked, "Dollar, where did you come from?"
Tian Shao explained the whole story, and said after finishing speaking: "If I hadn't been busy with my studies, I would have wanted to go to the Forbidden City to receive foreign tourists, and the daily tips would be a considerable income."
Speaking of this, her eyes lit up: "Sister Yiqiu and Sister Ningzhen are also starting to learn English now, and when they learn it, they can work as tour guides during the winter and summer vacations, and the income will be very reasonable."
"How can I receive foreign tourists after half a year of study?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "You really underestimated their learning ability? After half a year of learning, the basic daily language will definitely be fine."
Pei Yue didn't mind Tian Shao helping Bao Yiqiu and the others, but worried that her health would be too much for her: "You have to go to school and draw manga, how can you have time to teach them English?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Let them look for the relevant information of those scenic spots. After sorting it out, I will help translate it into English. Then record it on tape, and they only need to memorize it along with the tape in the future."
Based on her English level, it is no problem to teach Bao Yiqiu and Mu Ningzhen. But she is very busy, so it is no problem to record the relevant content for them to follow along, but there is not so much time for face-to-face teaching.
