After entering the provincial capital, Jiang Yi was not in a hurry to go to the foreign firm mentioned by Yang Dingwen. Instead, he took Yang Dingwen and Jiang Hu to the best hotel in Greentown and booked three rooms. They had a good wash and rest. During this period, Jiang Yi also brought back a big suitcase from outside and handed it to Jiang Hu. Then, he went to the largest clothing store in Greentown that specialized in suits and bought three sets of the most high-end suits.
After changing his clothes, Jiang Yi's appearance had also changed greatly. Unlike the long robe and mandarin jacket he used to wear, Jiang Yi was now dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking like a so-called successful person. The tall Yang Dingwen and Jiang Hu looked like Jiang Yi's bodyguards.
In fact, Jiang Yi did not like to dress like this. He preferred the Chinese tunic suit, but it had not been invented yet. Most of the time, Jiang Yi still wore a robe. However, he was going to discuss business with the English people now, so he could only do as the locals did.
"Young Master, you must be the so-called English gentleman they call you! He looks very gentlemanly!" The one who spoke was Jiang Hu. He had just learned these two words from the clothing store owner and used them to praise Jiang Yi.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi put down the pocket watch in his hand and looked at Jiang Hu seriously. He said,"Tiger, you have to remember that those foreign powers came here to make a fortune, and the so-called gentlemanly demeanor is to let them make a good profit. Don't be superstitious about what the foreign powers say!”
"That's right, Tiger, the superpowers are not good things!”Yang Dingwen chimed in.
As an officer, he had a deep understanding of the actions of the foreign powers.
When Jiang Hu heard their conversation, he nodded his head in a seemingly ambiguous manner.
Just as Jiang Yi and the others One-to-one chats, two girls pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing the two of them enter, the clothing store owner immediately led them to the women's clothing section and introduced them to the most popular women's clothing styles.
When one of the girls was choosing clothes, she saw Jiang Yi who was about to go out. She immediately whispered into the ear of another girl,"Tingting, look, this guy is so handsome.”
The girl called Tingting also looked over and realized that this boy was indeed very handsome.
What an elegant young man. He was handsome and had pink lips. There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. It could be said that he stood tall like an orchid and jade tree, and his smile was like the bright moon.
Just as this girl called Tingting was peeking at Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi was also looking at this girl. He felt that she was very familiar. Perhaps she was a character from some movie, but he couldn't figure it out. After all, Jiang Yi, who had seen Zhang Dadan, knew that the characters in this world and the characters in the movies were only a little similar. They were basically not exactly the same.
Just as Jiang Yi was thinking, the girl also discovered that Jiang Yi was looking at her. Her small face could not help but turn red, and she shyly lowered her head. Jiang Yi saw that he still could not remember, so he directly pushed the door open and went out. He still had more important things to do now.
Seeing Jiang Yi leave, the other girl pushed Ren Tingting twice." Tingting, don't be shy. He has already left."”
"Ah!"
Ren Tingting exclaimed in surprise.
"Are you in love with her, Tingting?”the girl teased.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's my first time meeting him.”Ren Tingting immediately retorted, but her face was full of shyness and she was not convincing at all.
"Is there really love at first sight in this world?”Ren Tingting thought to herself.
Just as the two girls were joking around in the clothing store, Jiang Yi had already brought Yang Dingwen and Jiang Hu to the entrance of the foreign firm.
The name of this foreign firm was Tianlong Foreign Firm. It was founded by an Englishman, John, and had been rooted in Greentown for many years. This foreign firm had been here since the first year of the Republic of China.
Jiang Yi and his group walked into the foreign firm and then found the counter of the foreign firm.
Although this was a foreign firm in England, the people at the counter were Chinese.
"Hello, what do you need?”The counter lady asked.
"I want to see your manager, Mr. John. I want to make a big deal with him!”
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm afraid I can't make the decision.”
The lady at the counter was in a difficult position. Mr. John was not someone an ordinary teller like her could come into contact with.
"It's okay. You just have to report to your superiors. I believe Mr. John will see me!”
Jiang Yi's words were very confident. Coupled with his handsome appearance and decent clothes, it also made the teller's impression of him increase greatly. Perhaps Jiang Yi really had a big business deal to look for Mr. John.
Therefore, the cashier reported Jiang Yi's news to her supervisor truthfully.
Not long after, a foreign supervisor appeared in front of Jiang Yi and the other two.
"Excuse me, are you looking for Mr. John?”
This foreign supervisor's awkward Chinese inquiry made it very difficult for Jiang Yi to listen, so Jiang Yi directly communicated with him in English.
"Yes, I have a big deal to discuss with Mr. John of your bank. This will bring huge benefits to both of us.”
A pure London accent instantly stunned the foreign manager, and it also shocked Yang Dingwen and Jiang Hu.
"Oh my God, Sir, you actually know how to speak English, and you speak it so well.”
"Of course. Let me introduce myself. My surname is Jiang, and I once studied in Fog City.”
The foreign manager obediently extended his hand and shook Jiang Yi's hand." My name is George, the manager of this foreign firm. Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang."”
"Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect you to speak English so well. From your accent just now, I thought I had returned to Fog City.”
George flattered Jiang Yi.
"You flatter me, Mr. George. Is it convenient for you to take us to see Mr. John now?”Jiang Yi asked with a smile.
"Of course, Mr. Jiang. I'll go find Mr. John now. I believe he'll be willing to see you!”George said firmly.
Soon, George returned.
"Mister Jiang, this way please."
George led the way in front, indicating for Jiang Yi and the other two to follow.
At this moment, Jiang Hu quietly moved closer to Jiang Yi's ear and asked in dialect,""Young Master, how did you know what this foreign devil said? Moreover, how did this foreign devil agree to take us to see that foreign devil called John after hearing a few words from you?”
Hearing Jiang Hu's question, Jiang Yi helplessly rubbed his head and explained in dialect,""I learned English from a missionary when I was young. It's not a big deal to know how to speak English. As for why George, the supervisor, was willing to take us to see John, it's not because I can speak English, but because of our money.”
As early as when this George had just come to Jiang Yi and the others and started talking to them, Jiang Yi had noticed that although this George was chatting with him, he was carefully observing Jiang Yi's clothes. He even glanced at the big suitcase in Jiang Hu's hand a few times until he confirmed that Jiang Yi was a rich man. This was the real reason why John was willing to bring them to see John.
Everyone went up to the second floor and came to a room. There was a sign on the door that said manager's office.
George knocked on the door and said,"Mr. John, I brought the guests I mentioned just now!"”
A voice came from inside the room." If that's the case, then let them in!”
After obtaining the affirmation of the people in the room, George said to Jiang Yi and the other two,"Mr. Jiang, please come in!"
When Jiang Yi heard this, he immediately opened the door and walked in with Yang Dingwen and Jiang Hu.
At this moment, Jiang Yi saw a middle-aged man sitting at his desk reading documents. The voice just now was from him.
This person was precisely Mr. John, whom Jiang Yi wanted to meet on this trip.
