"What do you do now?"
Xu Haotian is most concerned about the whereabouts of things. If he can't get the things back, the consequences will be unimaginable. He thought that after two preparations, it would be easy to do. He didn't expect that such a simple task would have problems now.
"Fortunately, I know the customs officer here. For the time being, he didn't hand in the things first. He helped me to keep them here. But now they are registered, he doesn't dare to give them to us. He said that after the minister left, he would let me spend some money on activities and give them to me."
The captain knows that time is very important to Xu Haotian, but the things have been detained, and his ship has to leave after unloading, so he has no way to wait here. He can only tell Xu Haotian what to do.
"Where are you now?"
Xu Haotian took a deep breath. He had all come to Liuli city. So he went to Liuli city to meet the captain and get more details.
"I'm now in Liuli city. I'm in a restaurant called manager Guo da. It's quite famous. You can find out from your compatriots."
The captain gave the address to Xu Haotian. Xu Haotian immediately checked out. Seeing that the waiter was going to leave, Xu Haotian held the waiter, "excuse me, have you heard of manager Guo's restaurant?"
The waiter nodded quickly. Many Chinese tourists often come to Liuli city. As hotel operators, they naturally have more to do with Chinese restaurants. Shopkeeper Guo is still a famous restaurant here. The dishes are authentic. I heard that the raw materials are all from China.
"Sir, go out and turn left, then go straight two blocks, then turn right two blocks, and then there's an intersection. You'll go half a street after you cross the left."
The waiter said it very clearly, and Xu Haotian also remembered it very clearly. However, as soon as he heard that the road was too far away, Xu Haotian estimated that he might not be able to walk for half an hour, so he had better go out and take a taxi.
"Please call a taxi for me, thank you."
Xu Haotian said and put the tip in the waiter's pocket. The waiter warmly said, "please have a rest. When the car comes, I'll let you know."
After waiting for about three minutes, the waiter came up and said, "Sir, your car is waiting outside. Please follow me."
I was led to the taxi by the attendant, and the attendant told the driver the address. After confirmation, I told Xu Haotian to return.
"Thank you."
Xu Haotian politely thanks, and then signals to the driver, "you can go."
The driver glanced at Xu Haotian from the side of his head, "you can speak Mandarin."
"A little bit, simple daily communication is OK."
Xu Haotian was surprised to see that the taxi driver could speak Mandarin, and he spoke very quickly. His accent didn't look like that of an island country, but from the appearance, he was really an island people, with a small beard.
"Hello."
The driver said hello again. Xu Haotian looked at the driver curiously, "are you Chinese or Islander?"
"I'm a half breed, my mother is Chinese, my father is Islander, and my mother is from Yingzhou."
Xu Haotian smiles. It turns out that this is the case. No wonder his Mandarin sounds strange. He is not as awkward as the islanders speaking Mandarin.
"Shopkeeper Guo's dishes are delicious. My mother used to take me there when I was a child."
The driver seemed to have a natural affinity for the Chinese, so Xu Haotian was very enthusiastic and said, "by the way, how long have you been on the island, studying abroad or working?"
"Me? Business trip. " Xu Haotian thought about it. It's a job and a short stay. It's a business trip.
"Business trip, business trip is good. I haven't been to China for several years. In the past, I would go back every two or three years to meet my grandparents and play for a while. Since I worked, I haven't had such an opportunity. I really envy you."
The driver said with a wry smile, and Xu Haotian was also very curious. Generally speaking, drivers in the early twenties of island countries can't see them, while taxi drivers here are basically people in their fifties.
"You should have read a lot of books. Why don't you work in an enterprise? With your bilingual ability, you can do well in foreign trade."
"I don't like the kind of work like selling one's life, and I hate the ruthless culture in the enterprise. I still like the free work. Although driving a taxi is a little hard, I can meet all kinds of people and you every day. This kind of feeling is very interesting."
The driver said with a smile on his face. It's not too difficult for him to enter the trading company. His education can't give him, but his mother gave him bilingual ability, which can make him more competitive than others. However, this is not what he likes.
"Here we are."
After chatting for a while, the car arrived at the door of Guoda shopkeeper's restaurant. Xu Haotian looked at the restaurant and renovated it for some years. From the outside, it seemed to be a bit grey, not a bit classy.
However, in such restaurants, the business is booming, and the waiters wear Tang clothes, showing the cultural characteristics.
"Here is my business card. If you need a car, you can call me." The driver gave Xu Haotian a business card, Xu Haotian took the card, politely looked at it, "goodbye." Xu Haotian stepped into the restaurant and welcomed the guests Xu Haotian's heart was shocked in an instant, just like who beat your chest with a big drum. Xu Haotian finally understood why the business here is so good. Apart from the authentic dishes, there is also the service atmosphere of his hometown, which makes people feel like they are in China, without too much restraint, and without the excessive politeness of the island service industry“ How many of you, sir Although there is a little bit of muck in it, it sounds so kind. If you live in a foreign country for a long time, when you step into such a place, I'm afraid you'll relax completely“ Please find the captain. I have an appointment with him Xu Haotian hastened to show his intention. On hearing this, the welcome lady chuckled, "I'm looking for the captain, Mr. Xu? Captain, they're in the private room. I'll show you“ Yes, it's me. " Xu Haotian looked at the diners, the kind of bustling, but not very noisy scene, looking at the smiling faces, Xu Haotian understood them, when you are in a foreign country for a long time, you only in such a place, can you feel the taste of home. The welcome guest led Xu Haotian to the door of the private room, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open. It was obvious that the captain knew them very well, otherwise he would not be so casual, "Captain, your guests are here." When the door opened, there were more than ten people inside. In addition to the captain, Xu Haotian's eyes fell directly on Shangguan Lingchen, who was also here. See Xu Haotian, Shangguan Lingchen obviously did not expect, eyes fell on Xu Haotian's body, quickly got up, "Mr. Xu, not many days in the past, well done."
