Chapter 190 Julia
"Hi, Mr. Zhang." Seeing Zhang Dongliang coming downstairs, Robert greeted him enthusiastically.
"Yawn~~Hello, Mr. Robert." Zhang Dongliang yawned and greeted Robert in return.
"Mr. Robert, what brings you here today? Isn't your angel baby already well?"
"Thank God, my angel baby is well now. Mr. Zhang, I came here to invite you. Can you have a meal with us? Let me and my wife express our gratitude to you."
"You're welcome, Mr. Robert. The most gratifying thing is that your angel baby has recovered his health. There's no need to eat."
"Mr. Zhang, please give me this opportunity. My wife has urged me several times. Besides~~"
"Besides what?"
"Besides, my immediate superior has heard this story, and she would also like to meet you."
"Your boss wants to see me? That's even more unnecessary."
"Mr. Zhang, my boss is a young and beautiful woman, only in her 20s, who just graduated from college." Robert's words were full of temptation.
"Really? Your boss is so young?"
"Yes, my boss is that young, because she is my boss's daughter. She came to the Far East specifically to investigate the market."
When he heard that there was a beautiful woman, Zhang Dongliang's interest was moved.
"Okay then, I'll agree to your request with reluctance. But I don't like Western food. It always makes me feel like I haven't evolved fully."
"Mr. Zhang, you are so humorous. So what kind of food does Mr. Zhang like to eat?"
“As long as it’s Chinese food, it’s fine.”
"Okay then, let's make an appointment to have dinner together. I'll come over in the afternoon and invite you to the restaurant."
"Well, Mr. Robert, it's settled."
At 17:00 in the afternoon, Robert arrived as promised and took Zhang Dongliang to a Huaiyang restaurant near the Bund.
"Oh, Robert, why don't you see your precious angel?"
Robert's immediate boss and his wife were already waiting in the room. Robert's children did not come with them and were left at home in the care of the servants.
Today's party is of a business nature, and Robert feels it is not suitable to bring children.
"Oh, hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Julia, Robert's boss."
"Hello, Miss Julia, I am Zhang Dongliang, the manager of Far East Huangpu Pharmacy."
"Please take a seat, Mr. Zhang," Robert greeted.
Robert's Chinese was fine, but Julia's was much worse, she only knew a few common words. Fortunately, Zhang Dongliang's English was good, so he didn't need anyone to translate.
We communicated directly in English in many places. I had no choice but to accommodate Julia.
"Ms. Julia, should I change my name to Romeo?" Zhang Dongliang joked.
"No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, my spelling is different from that Juliet's. You can't use your Chinese habits to measure English."
"Oh, I thought you all had the last name Zhu."
After the dishes were served, everyone ate and talked. Julia said to Zhang Dongliang, "Mr. Zhang, now I understand what you mean about eating Western food making people feel not fully evolved."
"Oh, it seems that Miss Julia has a very strong learning ability."
"Where did you graduate from, Mr. Zhang?" Julia was very surprised at Zhang Dongliang's proficiency in English.
"Is this important?" Zhang Dongliang asked, "Where did Miss Julia graduate from?"
"New York Business School."
"A third-rate university." Zhang Dongliang said immediately without any politeness.
"How could that be? How do you know this is a third-rate university?" Julia asked back.
“Because there is no such New York business school among the top-ranked universities in the United States.”
"Well, I'm studying at a business school in New York, and I just wanted to be closer to home. My family lives in New York." Julia covered up.
Zhang Dongliang added: "The Chinese translation of New York is inaccurate. Strictly speaking, it should be translated as Xinxiang."
"why?"
"Because your Yorkshire is at most a township in our country, adding the word 'new' means 'new township'."
Robert is an expert on China. When he heard what Zhang Dongliang said, he said he had learned a lot.
Zhang Dongliang continued bluntly: "Even your American translation is not accurate. According to my meaning, you should be translated as ~~ that Menlika."
"Mr. Zhang is really good at joking." Julia laughed so hard after listening to Zhang Dongliang's detailed explanation of the meaning.
Well, it was really trembling. At least Zhang Dongliang hadn't seen flower branches trembling like this in recent years.
"Mr. Zhang, Robert's baby angel got sick, and it was a medicine in your hand that saved the child's life. May I ask what the name of your medicine is? Where is it produced?"
Here we are. After talking around for so long, Julia finally got to the point of today.
"Miss Julia is interested in my medicine?"
"Yes, I am very interested. Many people in this world die every day because of the lack of medicine." Julia looked like a saint.
Bah, you sound so noble, but isn’t it all for money?
"Miss Julia, my medicine may be a little unexpected to you. You can't find its manufacturer, nor its formula. It is made by a special agency of ours.
It does not have the legal documentation you need in the United States and other countries, even though it is amazingly effective.”
“That’s not a problem, as long as it has extraordinary effects, we can prepare all the legal documents.
Mr. Zhang, are you interested in us becoming your agent in the United States and other countries?"
"If you can work out the legal documents, that's fine. We don't need that in this country right now."
"Why?"
"Because our entire country is in a state of disorder now. Does a country in a state of disorder need these documents?"
"You make a lot of sense, Mr. Zhang."
"In fact, I don't mind telling Miss Julia that I'm not just a drug dealer. I'm actually a composer and writer."
Julia covered her mouth and laughed, "Mr. Zhang is really multi-talented."
"You don't believe it, Miss Julia? Do you want me to sing a song for you?"
Zhang Dongliang decided to find an opportunity to sell some cultural works to Americans to enrich their spiritual life.
Zhang Dongliang stared at Julia's face for a long time. Julia was puzzled: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean? Don't you know that staring at a lady's face like this is very rude?"
Zhang Dongliang explained: "I heard that real American girls have freckles on their faces, and I want to see if Miss Julia is a real American."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I don't have freckles on my face. You said there are indeed many girls with freckles on their faces in the United States, but that's not all."
Julia was amused and confused by Zhang Dongliang's way of judging Americans.
"Mr. Robert, Miss Julia, thank you very much for your hospitality today. I will definitely invite you to taste our northern cuisine someday. It is a different style."
At the end of the dinner, Zhang Dongliang extended the invitation.
"Then I'll be waiting for Mr. Zhang's invitation at any time. Mr. Zhang, don't forget it." Julia winked at Zhang Dongliang lively.
"Of course not, Miss Julia."
