Chapter 245: The Controversy (Seven Watches, Second Shifts)
"How is that possible?" This was Anna's first feeling.
She remembered that Lin Hongfei said to herself, saying that there is no decent professional retail hypermarket in their country, and it stands to reason that the first time she came to such a professional hypermarket, her boyfriend should be very surprised, right, why did he react to it, so that he didn't feel surprised at all?
Could it be because he had traveled to other countries before? Right! It must be so! After a little surprise in her heart, Anna immediately came to a conclusion in her heart.
When it comes to bringing something to your friends, there really aren't many of them, and more of them are pushing this small shopping cart in the supermarket. Speaking of which, whether it is in his previous life or at all, Lin Hongfei's life is good enough, and there is a special person to serve him in his life, but this kind of leisurely self-satisfaction of pushing a small cart to wander around the supermarket has never happened once.
For this kind of behavior that is obviously a waste of time in Lin Hongfei's eyes, Lin Hongfei was very disdainful before this, but when he was accompanied by his "girlfriend" today, strolling leisurely in this huge shopping mall, experiencing this feeling that is completely different from the busyness of weekdays, Lin Hongfei was surprised to find that his heart was inexplicably relaxed.
This kind of relaxation is what Lin Hongfei has wanted to do many times in the past but has never been able to do.
How can a shopping mall have this effect? Lin Hongfei couldn't help but be surprised, if he needed to adjust his mood in the future, he could go to the mall to shop more.
"Lin, what do you think of this thing? Is it good-looking? While Lin Hongfei was pondering the relaxation method he had inadvertently discovered, Anna suddenly greeted Lin Hongfei happily.
Lin Hongfei looked up, but saw that Anna was holding a string of necklace-like ornaments and constantly comparing to the mirror, which is a pure ornament, just to decorate clothes. But it's not worth a few bucks in itself, but when this accessory is paired with Anna's clothes. Lin Hongfei was surprised to find that these two things seemed to have undergone magical chemical changes, and Anna, who was already full of youthful vitality, seemed to be more and more youthful, and a breath of vitality suddenly hit her.
"Yes, it's pretty good." Lin Hongfei nodded in appreciation. Although Boss Lin is not good at decoration and beauty, he basically has an eye for appreciation, tilting his head and looking at it, Lin Hongfei is very satisfied, "Do you like it?" ”
"I like it!" Anna nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of love.
"If you like it, buy it. I haven't sent you anything yet. This is a small gift from me. Lin Hongfei looked at it, and felt more and more that this thing was a perfect match for Anna, nodded, and said to Anna.
"Really?" Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Anna's eyes were filled with undisguised surprise and joy. After getting Lin Hongfei's affirmative nod, he nodded excitedly, just like a puppy who finally got a bone, and said to Lin Hongfei excitedly, "Lin, thank you, thank you, ......" Speaking of this, Anna couldn't help but whisper to Lin Hongfei, "This is the best gift I have ever received." ”
It's just a thing worth 12.8 German marks, is this girl so surprised? Lin Hongfei was a little stunned. Just now he inadvertently glanced at it and saw the price marked on the price tag of this thing, although 12.8 German marks is not cheap, but it must not be related to expensive, it can only be said to be a little bit of a trinket for civilians, this girl's reaction ...... Isn't it a bit too much?
Listen to what Lin Hongfei said. A few salesmen who were originally smiling kindly at the faces of the salesmen here, and suddenly couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then glanced at Lin Hongfei and laughed in a low voice. He said to Anna, "Beautiful lady, your boyfriend is Japanese, right?" ”…,
Exercise! Lin Hongfei was suddenly annoyed in his heart: his good mood was ruined by the two salesmen.
Of course, Lin Hongfei admitted that the smiles of the two staff members were not malicious, and even had a little envy: for Westerners who are financially independent, except for some more important festivals, there are very few gifts between boyfriends and girlfriends.
Even if Lin Hongfei knew in his heart that the words of these two salesmen could only be regarded as an unintentional mistake, but hearing these words, Lin Hongfei was still very uncomfortable in his heart, slightly amplified his voice, and said to these two salesmen, "I'm sorry, I'm Chinese." ”
These words were spoken in German.
The two salesmen obviously didn't expect that Lin Hongfei would not only be able to understand his own words, but also be able to speak fluent German, so he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly apologized to Lin Hongfei, "I'm sorry for this gentleman, there are more Japanese people in Germany, and you Oriental faces are almost the same, so ......"
Lin Hongfei waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
In fact, he can't mind, just like we look at the old black, they all look the same, in the eyes of Westerners, almost every Oriental looks similar, especially let them distinguish between Chinese, Japanese and Koreans, it is an almost impossible task. Fortunately, China's reform and opening up has not been many years, and there have not been many foreign businessmen who have invested in China over the years, and apart from the adverse effects of the government's demonization of China, the Chinese are mysterious and powerful in the eyes of Westerners, not only because they can defeat the United States twice in a row, but also because every native Chinese is said to know how to work hard.
They don't know how powerful kung fu is, but as long as they look at the Chinese kung fu superstar Bruce Lee, who has swept the world over the years, they know that Lu Dao kung fu is not something that ordinary people can resist, not to mention that this is still a person from a red country...... In any case, it is always right to be cautious and polite to such a person who comes from a red dictatorship and knows kung fu.
Wanyan declined the request of the two salesmen to wrap this trinket for herself, Anna just took the necklace in her hand, looked at it happily, and smirked twice from time to time, if it weren't for the value of this thing, Lin Hongfei would definitely think that what this girl was holding in her hand was not a necklace jewelry worth 12.8 German marks, but a diamond necklace worth 128,000 German marks.
For Anna's excitement, Lin Hongfei was a little puzzled: Is this necessary?
"You don't understand!" Anna glanced at Lin Hongfei, but there was irrepressible joy in her eyes.
I knew that this was the case! Lin Hongfei's heart suddenly felt stupid: Women are like this, troublesome!
…………………………………………
In the end, Lin Hongfei didn't buy much, for this, Lin Hongfei explained, "I remember everything I should buy, just go back and ask my secretary to buy it for me." ”
Anna couldn't help frowning, in Anna's opinion, the relationship between the secretary and the boss is only a working relationship, it is true that in the Western business world, many young and beautiful female secretaries in addition to assisting the boss to do a good job in the work, but also to take care of the boss's private life, many of them take care of the bed, but after all, this situation is only a very small case, in most cases, the relationship between the boss and the secretary is still just a pure working relationship, how can the boyfriend I just met let his work partner do this kind of thing?
Regarding Anna's doubts, Lin Hongfei said that he had to explain to her, "In our country, the secretary is not simply the boss's work assistant, and is also responsible for taking care of the boss's life...... To put it simply, the secretary is equivalent to the boss's work secretary plus life secretary plus personal housekeeper, and occasionally guest driver, which is such a profession. ”…,
"How can this happen?" Hearing Lin Hongfei's explanation, Anna shook her head, obviously difficult to understand this ridiculous situation, "This is the oppression of others, it is extremely inhumane, why doesn't he resist?" ”
"Why do you want to resist?" Lin Hongfei asked rhetorically, "Anna, you have to know that Lu Dao is different from your situation here, in our country, it is a very honorable thing to be a secretary to a leader, in the officialdom, for many young people who have no foundation and background, this means that an opportunity to ascend to the sky and have a strong backer is in front of him...... Usually after a secretary has served the leader for several years, the leader will delegate his secretary to the following more important positions to serve as the leader, and become the leader's right-hand man and political supporter. As far as I know, the same is true of the secretaries of those politicians in your country. ”
"It's strange, why haven't I heard of this kind of thing?" Hearing Lin Hongfei say that her country actually has this situation, Anna couldn't help but be surprised, German politics is also a kind of American-style bourgeois politics, ordinary people can scold the president because of their own dissatisfaction, TV and the media can also make all kinds of ridicule of the president, but Anna has never heard of the matter of leading the secretary.
Lin Hongfei couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "What you know is what your government and those damn politicians want you to know; If you don't want you to know the Tao, you will never know the Tao...... Don't look at your government and politicians who say all day long that our government is a dictatorship, but in my opinion, your government is a dictatorship, but they know how to disguise it, and they have a sheepskin called 'democracy' and 'freedom' on the outside. ”
"It can't be!" Anna's reaction to this question was beyond Lin Hongfei's imagination, "Although I love you very much, I will not agree with your opinion on our political system, you must know that our prime ministers are elected by the voters, although this prime minister is not liked by everyone, but this is already the most advanced political system at present...... At least it's much better than dictatorships and hereditary systems. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
