Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Vivienne pointed to her nose in amazement and asked, "The reason is on me? What reason? Why don't I know?"

Katie also turned to look at her yellow-skinned roommate. He looked up and down in confusion for a long time and found nothing unusual. He couldn't help but turned his head and asked: "Eric, don't be fooled. Although Vivian is a Chinese, but She said that she had never been to China since she was a child. What reason would she have?"

Vivienne also asked in confusion: "Eric, Cady is right. In fact, not only has I never been to China, but even my father has never been to China. No matter what the reason you said, will it be Is the meeting a bit far-fetched?"

Tan Zhenhua smiled and said, "No, Vivienne, what I said is the truth. If I remember correctly, when you greeted me this morning, you used Chinese, right?"

Vivienne nodded and said, "Yes, I happened to see the nationality you filled out on the "Wall Street Throne" application form, so I greeted you directly in Chinese."

Tan Zhenhua clapped his hands and said: "Yes, Vivian, you see, this is the United States, the official language used is English, and Chinese is almost useless here, regardless of whether it is your father or you. After China, why do you still study Chinese?"

Vivienne stunned and explained: "Actually, learning Chinese is not what I am willing to do. It was forced by my grandparents. Speaking of which, they all loved me very much, and they did everything possible to meet my various requirements. They never show any rhetoric to me, but when it comes to learning Chinese, they are incredibly stubborn. To be honest, Chinese is much harder to master than English..."

Tan Zhenhua smiled and said: "Vivian, I sympathize with your experience. Although our mother tongue is Chinese or Chinese, I have to admit that compared with various alphabetic characters, the Chinese square characters are too difficult to learn and understand. Unless you have lived in such a language environment since childhood, it is really a difficult task to master the language proficiently."

Vivienne obviously recalled the "education" she had received from her parents because she didn't want to face the headaches of the square text. She couldn't help feeling lingering and nodded in agreement.

Tan Zhenhua went on to say: "Since this is a seemingly useless language that is painful to learn, why do your father and grandparents have to force you to learn it?"

"Because it is my mother tongue after all..." Vivian replied blurtly.

Tan Zhenhua applauded and laughed: "Look, Vivienne, you have answered my question and pointed out the most important reason I just mentioned."

Vivian and Katie looked at each other, and found that the other party didn't seem to understand Tan Zhenhua's meaning, and couldn't help asking in unison: "What is the reason?"

Tan Zhenhua said slowly, word by word: "The reason is that Huaxia is the nation that attaches the most importance to culture and blood inheritance in the entire Blue Star. Language and writing are obviously the most important carriers of cultural inheritance. Therefore, Even though Vivian’s father and she herself had never been to China, they still passed on this culture consciously or unconsciously. I think that when Vivian has her own child in the future, she will definitely continue Do the same thing. After all, resources can be obtained in various ways, and technology can also be learned in various ways. Only the inheritance of culture is rooted in the blood. The irreplaceable gene also determines a nation and a nation. The most important factor for the rise of a country!"

Caddy thought about it for a long time, and found that he still couldn’t fully understand the meaning of Tan Zhenhua’s remarks, so he shrugged and said, "Well, Eric, although I don’t fully understand what you mean, and I don’t fully agree with your reasons. , But, here is the United States, a free country, right? You can completely retain your views, and I can completely retain mine, and now we, the United States and your China can be regarded as friends. Seeing that our friends have gotten rid of Hope of poverty is always a good thing, right?"

Li Zhekai smiled and said: "Of course, we Chinese people have always treated friends with generosity and enthusiasm. It is really my honour to have dinner with two beautiful ladies today. Come, let us put aside the dispute and make a toast for friendship."

Li Er's proposal resolved the slightly embarrassing atmosphere at the dinner table just now because of Tan Zhenhua's speech, so everyone responded enthusiastically, and the four toasted together and shouted, "Cheers!"

They are all of the same age, and they are both at the age of seventeen or eighteen who love to play and play, and they have just got rid of the control of the family, so I ate happily, and the second master will pay the bill. After that, the four decided to take this opportunity to visit Chinatown.

After all, it’s just a check-in, and I haven’t officially started classes yet. I’m in a more leisure time. It’s just a time to mess around. It’s not that easy when the school officially starts. Stanford’s courses and credits are not that mixed!

After several generations of Chinese people’s hard work, San Francisco’s Chinatown has become quite large. There are not only traditional southern temples such as "Thean Hou Temple", but also special snacks such as "good luck biscuits". Various shops are lined up, among which there are not There are few traditional products that have crossed the oceans from China, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, silk tea, Chinese medicinal materials in porcelain, and even oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. In terms of varieties, they are even more expensive than the current department stores in mainland China. Complete, of course, the price will be much higher.

What made Tan Zhenhua secretly pleased was that his masterpiece, the mini fan, was also sold openly here, at a fair price, only 15 US dollars. According to his casual conversations with the store, he found that the sales were quite good. The boss said that he would order more next year.

Think about it, this is Chinatown, a city within a city that belongs to more than one hundred thousand Chinese, and the Chinese living here are currently not rich in economic capacity, and they have the tradition of diligence and frugality. Therefore, compare with expensive air conditioners. In other words, it is only natural that this small summer product can be favored.

Hearing the conversation he had with the store, Li Zhekai made a meaningful grimace at him, and then pointed his wallet smoothly—well, Tan Er said that he had read what he meant again: you pay for the next meal.

After strolling around, the two girls had more gadgets in their hands that looked fancy but couldn't see practical value at all, and looking at their elated looks, it seemed that there would be nothing to go around for a few hours It's not right, but Li Er and Tan Er are feeling like they have run a marathon.

However, it is very impolite to interrupt the lady's interest in the middle, and Li Er and Tan Er both claim to be gentlemen, so ah, you have to find a way to save yourself.

Of course, the bad idea must come from Young Master Tan, so his eyes rolled: "I heard that the famous Broadway is right on the edge of Chinatown, and it will be there. It’s not too late today. I don’t know if we have this honor. , Invite two beautiful ladies to watch a show together? I have been thinking of doing this when I was in China."

His proposal immediately received a enthusiastic response. Well, Tan Zhenhua had to admit that what attracts girls more than shopping is watching performances—or to be more accurate, watching star performances.

So the four of them randomly found a passerby who seemed to be wandering on the side of the street and asked about the road, and they were ready to head towards Broadway.

Who knows, after this passerby answered the Broadway direction question, he mysteriously whispered: "What's the meaning of singing and dancing in Broadway? You are all young people, so I don’t want to watch something more exciting. of?"
