Chapter 13

"Pa, PA, Pa." Du Ronghui came out of the office and clapped his hands vigorously, attracting the attention of the office staff of the whole business department.

"Listen carefully!" Du Ronghui said. Whenever he said this, there was a big task, so everyone looked at him intently.

Du Ronghui nodded with satisfaction and then said, "there is a big customer coming to the company this afternoon to sign a contract with the boss. As you know, that big customer is a white old man from Florida in the United States last year. Everyone has seen him. But I heard from the boss that he came this time, in addition to the person signing the contract, there is also his son. His son is a Chinese expert and is said to be particularly interested in the traditional culture of our country."

Du Ronghui paused and said, "so this time our business department not only needs to send someone to translate for the boss, but also someone to accompany the relatives of the customer. This task is very important, not only because the list signed this time is very large, but also because this time it is related to the image of our company and subsequent orders, so we can't afford to lose."

He ordered Yang Guo and said, "Yang Guo's English is the best. You are responsible for signing the contract with the boss. Who knows our traditional culture better?"

Most of the salesmen here are from English or international trade backgrounds. If they want to talk about English, they may also be able to say that they are ugly. But the traditional Chinese culture has long been handed back to high school teachers. How dare they say they are familiar with it!

Yang Guo is different. He reads a lot and has a good memory. It's not too much to describe him with erudition and strong memory. Looking at the wide eyed colleagues in the office, Yang Guo was ready to come forward and offer his services.

"Manager Du, let me do this. If you want to talk about Chinese traditional culture, it must be me!" The voice behind Yang Guo, which made him extremely disgusted, sounded again.

Yang Guo felt a move and took back his right leg, which had stepped half a foot.

Han Tao's voice is very arrogant and his words are not worth beating. Yang Guo knows that Han Tao is a big straw bag. He can't do anything and will boast.

Han Tao just heard that Yang Guo went to translate for his uncle, and the jealousy in his eyes was almost burning Yang Guo. Yang Guo couldn't let himself be in the limelight. He quickly recommended himself to Du Ronghui. Han Tao also considered this task. He felt that a foreigner, how much Chinese culture he could understand, and a native Chinese, would definitely be able to fool the past.

He said it was him, but Yang Guo felt that if he was the boss, he would not be used even if all the people in the office died. The childe who only drives a car to pick up girls every day says that he is proficient in traditional Chinese culture, which is simply a big joke. Yang Guo doesn't intend to expose him. Since he targets himself in everything, let him hit the wall and have a try.

Other colleagues did not make a sound.

Du Ronghui frowned and swept around. Unable to wait for other self introducers, he had to nod and let Han Tao take charge of the matter. Although Han Tao has little ability, after all, he is a relative of the boss. Du Ronghui has no other choice, and it is not good to brazenly suppress him. He is only an old minister, not the boss. He still has to stay on the front line to be a man.

There was no demon moth in the process of signing the contract. Yang Guo was accompanied by the whole audience. His clear spoken English with a Native American accent made the American old man give a thumbs up and sign the contract. The second boss left first, leaving the big boss to open a bottle of red wine with the American old man to celebrate, and then the two began to chat.

Big boss has actually studied abroad in the United States before. Although his oral English level is not very good, he can also communicate. Yang Guo's accompanying translator mainly takes care of the second boss who doesn't understand English. Now that the second boss has withdrawn, there is nothing wrong with Yang Guo here. He went out and gently closed the door of the conference room.

At the entrance of the stairs on the third floor, Yang Guo saw several female colleagues in the department gathered together and whispered. This situation is not common. Why did they all run out. He went up and greeted them, "sister Wu."

Wu Caiyan saw him and said, "Xiao Yang is back? How is your side?"

"It's done and the task has been successfully completed. Why did you all come out?"

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with you, but there's something wrong with us!" Several female colleagues began to talk.

"Han Tao can't talk with customers anymore."

"That Han Tao is a fool. He doesn't understand anything and joins blindly." Bao Chunfang shouted in an unbroken tone.

Wu Caiyan covered her mouth: "Xiao Fang, keep your voice down."

She explained to Yang Guo in a low voice, "just now Han Tao talked to that customer, and they said a poem. As a result, he didn't know who wrote it, and ran away flushed."

"Escape before the battle. Now manager Du doesn't know how to end." Bao Chunfang said.

It's time to finish by yourself. If you don't go again, you will be dragged down to manager Du. Yang Guo pushed the door and went in.

Du Ronghui saw Yang Guo come in, the stone in his heart finally fell down, and the general under him finally arrived! He quickly introduced Yang Guo to the customer.

The customer is not young. He looks about 40 years old. He is wearing glasses and a white coat. He is wearing an emerald bracelet in his left hand, which is very Chinese.

Yang Guo reached out and said in English, "Mr. Smith, welcome to China."

Smith also reached out to shake hands with him, smiled and said, "thank you, your English is great, but let's speak Chinese. I like China very much, and the Chinese culture is broad and profound." The foreigner said this in Chinese. Although the tone was a little strange, it seemed that he had made a lot of efforts.

Yang Guo said with a smile, "Mr. Smith, your Chinese level is very high! Manager Du didn't say, I didn't know you had never been to China before."

"I have a Chinese teacher who taught me." Smith beamed.

"By the way, just now my colleague said, you recited a poem, can you let me listen to it? Maybe I know it."

"Of course," Smith thought, and then recited the poem.

"Mount Tai in the distance,

Show a dark figure;

Thick foundation,

Support the shallow high-rise;

If one day,

Some people take the universe upside down;

Old traditions,

It will inevitably suffer from ground fissures and landslides. "

Smith shook his head as he read the poem. But Yang Guo frowned when he listened. This poem sounds strange, and I haven't seen it in my impression.

After Smith finished reading, he told Yang Guo that this poem was not the original text, but his Chinese teacher read it to him from an English translation, and then he translated it himself, which made sense! Yang Guo chatted with Smith while looking for poems with matching meanings in his memory.

"I like this poem very much! According to the teacher, this poet comes from the hometown of Confucius. I think this poem is the most representative of China!"

Smith told Yang Guo that there was a profound moral in this poem. He didn't know how to say it. He explained "has, many, messages, implied" in English, which expressed the poet's great ambition to overthrow the feudal system.

Yang Guo finally matched this poem with the original after two translations! Thinking about the original work, Yang Guo couldn't help laughing. As a result, Du Ronghui stared at him.

Yang Guo told Smith that he remembered who wrote the poem. Yang Guo said, "the poet of this poem was a general at that time, whose name was zhangzongchang."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's Zhuang Chongchang." Smith said in surprise that his speech was not standard.

Smith talked with Yang Guo happily, just like seeing a bosom friend.

Yang Guo also told him some anecdotes about General Zhang. For example, general Zhang married a 23 bedroom wife, for example, his character was bohemian, for example, his mother abandoned him when he was a child, but he not only didn't hate his mother, but also took his mother back to spend the rest of his life after becoming a senior official.

Smith talked with Yang Guo happily. He not only forgot Han Tao's recklessness just now, but also praised the company's talents with his father when he left. The company was praised, and everyone was proud of it.

After the customer left, the company affirmed and rewarded Du Ronghui and the business department. Du Ronghui also appreciated Yang Guo when he came back. He conveyed the company's reward: Yang Guo doubled his bonus this month, and others also added 200 yuan. For a time, everyone in the whole business department was jubilant.

That annoying Han Tao had long been ashamed and didn't know where to go. Everyone understood that he didn't mention him. He was afraid of destroying the atmosphere!

Bao Chunfang ran over and asked Yang Guo, "Yang Guo, what poem did the customer just read?"

Yang Guo recited the poem that Smith read again with a bad smile on his face and asked with a smile, "do you know what the original text of this poem is?"

Du Ronghui laughed and said, "Yang Guo, just say it. I saw you just now and couldn't help laughing. There must be something strange in it!"

Yang Guo seemed to be unable to sell off, so he said, "this poem was written by a warlord leader in the Republic of China. Zhang Zongchang didn't read much when he was a child, but later his poetry was very popular, because his poetry was particularly distinctive. Although it was a little flirtatious, it was really vulgar and cute. The name of the poem just now was you Taishan, the original text is:

Looking from a distance, Mount Tai is dark, with a thin head and a thick head.

If you turn Mount Tai upside down, your head will be thin at the bottom and thick at the top. "

After listening to the original poem, which was even more doggerel than doggerel, everyone was stunned at once, and then burst into a burst of laughter, which almost opened the office.

Bao Chunfang laughed until tears came out. She patted the table and said, "how do I think the customer's translation is better than the original poem!"

Yang Guo also laughed, "yes, I didn't dare to tell him the original work at that time, you know? It took me a long time to laugh."

Du Ronghui pretended to be serious and said, "we should learn from Comrade Yang Guo, be loyal to the cause of foreign trade, dare to face the magic of customers, be good at holding back the smile in our hearts, devote our limited life to talking with customers, and devote our strength to ordinary positions!"

Du Ronghui's words caused the laughter of the whole office. It has to be said that Du Ronghui's ability to mobilize his subordinates' work enthusiasm is still very strong.

The day's work ended with laughter. Du Ronghui didn't arrange everyone to work overtime today, so Yang Guo was able to get off work on time.

On the crowded bus with almost no foothold, Yang Guo looked at the sunset in the West. After the rain, two thin clouds in the sky were dyed light golden yellow. The afterglow of the sunset was reflected on the glass curtain wall of the high-rise building. Vehicles and pedestrians were flowing on the road. It was a busy and orderly scene. Yang Guo felt very happy.

However, at this time, the ringing of a phone shattered the calm of this moment, and made his heart lift up again!
