Chapter 87 Bragging in front of foreigners
Chapter 87 Bragging in front of foreigners
"Hello, Mr Li. Nice to meet you again!"
Thomas was sitting inside and greeted Li Kang, who was standing outside the car in a daze, with a smile.
The voice is loud.
This white guy was quite kind. As a senior executive, he actually took the initiative to greet Li Kang.
Should he feel honored or unlucky?
However, I will be sitting with this boss man, so there must be someone who can arrange it.
As for that person, Li Kang had some guesses that he must be related to the person behind him.
"Nice to meet you too, Mr Thomas."
If it weren't for the need to make a living, he really didn't like speaking Chinese on the mainland.
Especially when it doesn't involve work content and the person opposite you is a white person.
Now that you are in mainland China, you can’t speak Chinese?
If he had the courage, Li Kang wanted to scold these white pigs directly, "We all speak English when we go to your country, but why don't you speak Chinese when you come to the mainland? This is not fair!"
Of course, Li Kang is not so naive. When it is time to smile, he should smile sincerely.
Let these white pigs feel the mainlanders’ hospitality and enthusiasm towards guests.
Once they are happy, they will invest heavily in us!
After Li Kang got in the car, Li Xueer did not sit in the passenger seat, but wanted to squeeze in the back seat with Li Kang.
Maybe she has never been in a Mercedes 600 SEL
There were only two seats in the back row, so she couldn't see clearly.
"Sorry, Ms. Li, there are only two seats in the back row."
Li Xueer really wanted to sit with the two of them and didn't observe the situation in the car carefully.
He ran to the front passenger seat with a red face.
Thomas's eyes were always following Li Xueer.
Obviously he still couldn't forget this woman.
Because it was a car arranged by the company and it was an important partner,
So the cars arranged are all luxury cars.
After Li Kang got into the car and sat on the leather seat, he finally felt what the interior of a million-dollar luxury car was like.
Retro mahogany, with a central armrest storage compartment in the middle, providing ample space.
Logically speaking, the back seat of such a luxury car should be for the boss.
Executives of the same level can only talk when they are sitting in the car.
Li Kang suddenly realized that he seemed to have been tricked by Li Xueer again.
She used him as a shield twice in a row.
"This old man, you don't like to be rejected directly! Why do you have to use me as a shield?"
The more Li Kang thought about it, the more speechless he became. He was really impressed by this woman.
Do you really think he has no temper?
At this time, perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere in the car was a bit quiet, Thomas took the initiative to chat with Li Kang.
"Mr. Li, you seem to be friends with Mr. Tom?"
Last time at Portman, this old guy wasn't very noticeable among the group of big guys.
But coming to Bird Corporation is like a Beijing official going to the countryside and taking chicken feathers as a token of authority.
He also transformed himself into a feared boss.
Li Kang didn't seem to be in awe of this man's identity and just spoke to him normally.
These white pigs won't force you to kneel down and talk to them.
"Mr. Tom and I have known each other for several years. I met Mr. Tom when I was studying abroad at Harvard."
"Mr. Tom is from Northeastern University. Our schools are both on the Charles River."
The two people communicated in English, and the two people in the front row could hardly understand the complete meaning.
Anyway, I feel that Li Kang is very powerful.
The driver had to observe Li Kang through the rearview mirror from time to time.
"Driver, please concentrate on driving. Why do you keep looking back?" Li Xueer reminded the driver. She was really worried that the driver would not concentrate on driving and cause harm to the people in the car.
The driver was from Shanghai and spoke with a Shanghai accent.
“I just looked at the young man sitting in the back.
He is so young, looks only about 20 years old, how come he speaks English so well.
It’s really awesome! (It’s really amazing)”
The driver took one hand off the steering wheel and gave a thumbs-up.
Li Xueer was frightened by what she saw and felt that the driver was too scary.
The people behind didn't notice the people in front.
When Thomas heard Li Kang say that he had studied abroad at Harvard, he was immediately in awe.
Especially what Li Kang said was seamless. He could describe exactly where they met and the surrounding streets.
Is this something that someone who has never been to the United States can say?
So Thomas was convinced.
He simply regarded Li Kang as his own.
"Li Kang, you are amazing. Do you know the status of Harvard University in the United States?"
Li Kang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and deliberately gave the old guy a chance to show off.
As expected, Thomas said proudly, "Harvard University is the best university in the world. Among the students who graduated from this school are American presidents, political bigwigs, and presidents of other countries who may have studied there when they were young. You are so lucky to have the opportunity to study there."
This is the time to brag! "I am really honored to study at Harvard University. I have learned many things that are different from those in mainland China."
Thomas felt sorry for him. "You are so talented, why don't you stay in the United States to develop your career?"
"Of course it's because I studied liberal arts. It's so difficult to find a job in the United States."
Speaking of this, Thomas also felt very involved.
This is the reality in the United States.
"You're absolutely right. It's really hard to find a job in the United States with a liberal arts major. Plus, you're a foreigner, so it might be even more difficult. It's a very correct choice for you to return to your country."
Thomas said seriously, "I am very optimistic about the future development of your country. There will be many development opportunities in the future. You'd better seize the golden time now."
From his perspective, today's mainland is replicating the old crooked path taken by Japan and South Korea.
And the United States has always been a superior developed country.
Thomas is like the silly son of a landlord, he says whatever he wants.
Although it was insignificant information to him, it was epoch-making to Li Kang.
Because this guy talked about which industries will take off in the future.
Anyone who listens to this will probably want to make a targeted investment in the stock market.
However, the stock market had only been open for two years at that time, and various insider trading cases were emerging one after another.
If ordinary people want to go in and make some money, they will often be robbed of everything.
Unless you have a grasp of the market conditions of certain specific stocks, don't touch them.
Otherwise, why would Li Kang work so hard to make money?
Just go to the stock market to make money.
He plans to never touch this thing again in his life.
I bought a fund in my previous life and lost money.
Unfortunately, the two people in front were not so lucky and could not understand what the two people were saying in English.
Li Xueer only saw that Li Kang successfully helped her divert Thomas' attention.
The old man finally stopped staring at her.
He was very grateful to Li Kang in his heart, and his eyes were always focused on Li Kang through the rearview mirror.
The driver drove quietly and didn't dare to make a sound to disturb Li Xueer from looking at the man.
"This young man is really capable. A beautiful woman fell in love with him so quickly. If I had worked harder to learn English, I wouldn't be driving this broken car now. At least I could chat with foreigners!"
