Zhou Shijie looked at Yuan Zhou smilingly and said, "Yuan, your French is pretty good. I wanted to ask you about it yesterday."
This time, Zhou Shijie spoke in French, which made Yuan Zhou feel uneasy.
"What the hell do you mean by 'pretty good French'? I can't even speak English. As for foreign languages, I can only speak Mandarin or dialect. "Yuan Zhou didn't show any emotion on his face, but he couldn't help ridiculing in his heart.
Nevertheless, he started to observe the surroundings carefully without leaving any trace.
"Holy sh * t. Everything seems to be in French now. Wait, the name of the dish is also in French. Why can I understand it?" Yuan Zhou revealed a puzzled look.
"Am I a born genius in French? Or am I born with it? "Yuan Zhou couldn't help guessing.
With full confidence, Yuan Zhou also prepared to answer Zhou Shijie's question just now in French.
"Just so-so. I don't really understand it." When Yuan Zhou uttered the first word, he found he couldn't speak French at all.
Then, Yuan Zhou became speechless. Then, he called the system.
"System, did you do that?" Yuan Zhou's tone was quite serious.
The system displayed, "The CD for learning western food etiquette is in French."
Therefore, the CDs that Yuan Zhou had been watching these days were all explanations in French. Because he could naturally understand it by listening and looking at it without any other differences, Yuan Zhou didn't notice this at all.
Only when he was reminded by the system did Yuan Zhou recall it.
"Then how can I understand it?" Yuan Zhou asked curiously.
The system displayed, "In order to better help you learn the skills."
"Thank you so much. So you forgot to teach me how to speak?" The first half of the sentence was quite sincere and the second half was quite understandable.
The system displayed, "You don't need to speak when learning etiquette."
The words were so conspicuous in Yuan Zhou's mind that he became stupefied.
After quite a while, he said, "System, what you said makes so much sense that I have nothing to say."
Then, the very reasonable system retired again as expected, just like what it did every time after it tricked Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou explained to Zhou Shijie.
"I can't speak French, but I can understand it," Yuan Zhou said very naturally.
"Oh? Can you understand this? Zhou Shijie asked with interest.
"You want to know?" Yuan Zhou asked curiously.
"Of course. I just feel that it's very hard to translate. I almost didn't understand it last time," Zhou Shijie said as he stroked his neat mustache.
"It's probably the same as the saying, 'Those who commit many unjust deeds are doomed to self-destruction.' Or, we'll give them a taste of their own medicine," Yuan Zhou said with certainty.
"Yes, yes, yes. Yuan's French is really good, but you really don't know how to speak it?" Zhou Shijie asked doubtfully.
In his opinion, if he could see and listen, how could he not know how to speak?
However, the truth was that Yuan Zhou didn't speak French at all.
"No, I don't." Yuan Zhou nodded his head to express his affirmation.
"Haw-haw. Can't you tell me how you learned it?" While guiding Yuan Zhou to taste the dishes, Zhou Shijie asked with interest.
"I learned it by watching." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said earnestly.
"Interesting young man. Try this." Zhou Shijie pointed at the dish in front of him and said.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then began to taste.
The old man and the young man basically followed the same routine in the meeting hall. They walked around and tasted the dishes and sometimes introduced those chefs to Yuan Zhou.
However, they mostly went there to taste the delicacies.
That was the purpose that Zhou Shijie brought Yuan Zhou here. Only in an authentic place could one experience the authentic French dishes.
Of course, visiting the peers was also one of the purposes.
The whole day passed quickly.
"Let's go back to the hotel," Zhou Shijie said to Yuan Zhou after he said goodbye to others.
"Um. I'm very full today," Yuan Zhou said subconsciously.
"That's good. Then I don't have to eat dinner," Zhou Shijie said smilingly.
"That's true. Then I'm going out for a stroll," Yuan Zhou suddenly said that when he walked to the door of the hotel.
"Ok. This old man won't meddle in that. What if you have some good things to do?" Zhou Shijie had the temperament of an old urchin and teased him immediately.
"No, I won't. I'm just at the door." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"Maybe. It's France, young man." Zhou Shijie burst into laughter and went upstairs directly.
And Yuan Zhou really stayed at the door of the hotel, thinking about where to go next quietly.
In just one minute, the doorman at the side came to ask him.
"Sir, how can I help you?" The doorman was a tall and handsome blond man.
Yuan Zhou understood him. He turned the head and looked at the doorman quietly. Meanwhile, he was struggling in his heart, wondering how to answer him now.
"Sometimes, it's not a good thing to understand. How should I answer him?" Yuan Zhou ridiculed speechlessly in the heart.
After all, he could only listen but not speak.
Just when Yuan Zhou was embarrassed, Zhou Shijie's phone rang after he returned to the room.
"Brat, why do you have time to call me?" Zhou Shijie looked at the two characters of Chu Xiao on the screen and answered the phone decisively, teasing him.
"I know you have come to France. Are you used to it?" Chu Xiao said naturally as if he were just calling for small talk.
"This old man is just here to have a look. But I didn't see you today," Zhou Shijie asked conveniently.
"Um. Maybe I didn't see you," Chu Xiao said calmly.
"Tell me. What's the matter?" Zhou Shijie got straight to the point.
"How many people are there?" Chu Xiao suddenly asked.
"Two." Zhou Shijie knitted his brows and said straightforwardly.
He didn't forget the existence of Yuan Zhou.
"Then, I hope you don't feel abrupt. I also want to invite you to have a meal." Even if Chu Xiao said politely, his pride couldn't be concealed.
"Will you do it yourself?" Zhou Shijie immediately understood Chu Xiao's meaning.
"Of course. I will serve my signature dishes then," Chu Xiao said affirmatively.
"Okay, no problem," Zhou Shijie directly answered the invitation and prepared to take Yuan Zhou there without asking him.
"Then, see you in the restaurant at noon three days later." Chu Xiao brought out his address.
"Wait." Seeing Chu Xiao was about to hang up the phone, Zhou Shijie stopped Chu Xiao.
"What's the matter?" It was Chu Xiao's turn to ask that.
"Since you invited me to have a meal, I'll also invite you to have a meal when you return to China. What do you think?" Zhou Shijie was quite confident in his invitation this time.
"Okay." Chu Xiao answered readily at the other end of the phone.
"Then, no problem." Zhou Shijie smiled contentedly and then hung up the phone.
"He's really a capable person." Chu Xiao recalled that Yuan Zhou could always tell the advantages and disadvantages of the food when he tasted it at the meeting place.
Even if it was the first time for Yuan Zhou to eat it.
That's right. Chu Xiao did go to the exchange meeting and even saw Yuan Zhou and Chairman Zhou Shijie, but he didn't go to greet them. Instead, he just watched them quietly.
However, that also gave Chu Xiao a reason to treat them to a meal.
