Chapter 106
Zhu family mother and daughter and Mrs. Liao and his entourage downstairs, naturally, each in their own car.
Mrs. Liao got into Yu Yingda’s car and didn’t talk to Zhu Yanshu before getting into the car. After Yu Yingda sat on the car, he also sounded the horn twice, signaling to the Zhu family’s mother and daughter, and then set off.
The Zhu family side is also a bit awkward, because the person driving the car is not Su Chunjun, it is a person who does not know.
However, this person immediately got out to help open the door, and took the initiative to explain: “Su deputy section chief went to pick up where the director, before leaving a thousand times to let me must be good to send a few people to the Peace Hotel. Small surname Zhao, a few people call me Zhao on the line, I’m in the Su deputy section chief under the work.”
Several people look at each other, the man took out a Su Chunjun hand-written note before finally get on the car, really because now the city of abduction is too arrogant, what people dare to abduct, the last time also abducted a small wife of a famous family, caused an uproar.
After sitting on the car, we no longer have any doubt, because the small Zhao ah, began to blow Su Chunjun, that is called blowing a loud! In his mouth, Su Chunjun is the star in the sky, with an extraordinary background, extremely smart, and trusted by the head of the city. And where the long, everyone knows that is the mayor’s own family, even the director is not as good as where the long talk, where the long a phone call can be dialed directly to the mayor’s home!
So to summarize, Su Chunjun is also equivalent to the mayor’s own family.
The Zhu family mother and daughter can only dry smile, only Zhang Ma and Xiao Zhao quite compatible, nodded and said: “The girl of the Xiangfu House is still a seventh-grade official.”
Xiao Zhao patted his thigh: “This is the reason!”
The more they talk, the more hot, until the peace hotel, Zhang Ma is going to drag Xiao Zhao also go in to eat a banquet. Xiao Zhao didn’t dare, and continuously excused himself: “No, no, I have to watch the car in the car ah, this car is where the director of the special authorization to open the ticket to drive out, go back if there is a scratch, I can’t afford to pay for it if I chopped me ah.”
Zhu Yan Shu said: “Then wait until after the banquet, you go in and drink a glass of water wine, just as congratulations on the good things of your vice section chief Su.”
Xiao Zhao was moved and said, “Ya, that would be the time to go and have a drink.” He touched and touched on his body, Zhu Yanshu saw that he wanted to touch the red envelope, laughed: “Today is just an engagement, it’s not customary to receive red envelopes, wait for him to get married before you send it.”
Xiao Zhao immediately a big sigh of relief, repeatedly promised, and all the way to the gate before they turned back.
To be able to drink a cup of Vice Section Chief Su’s wedding wine, it is not a vain trip.
He stood beside the car, humming a song and took out a cigarette to smoke.
Yang Yuyan walked into the Peace Hotel on the hand of Yang Yucan, and once inside, she raised her neck to look around, much like a bumpkin. But because she is a beautiful bumpkin today, so self-conscious and not ashamed, so feel free to boldly look.
The Peace Hotel was built by Jewish merchants and is extremely luxurious.
It was not yet noon, and there were already many guests in the hotel. Among them were many foreigners, and its guests were mainly foreigners.
It’s called a hotel, but it doesn’t just sell meals – crap. It’s a high-class hotel, and there are many foreigners who stay here for years and years, especially those who don’t have a house here, so they make the hotel their home.
Of course it also undertakes some banquet arrangements, and it is said that the hall booked by Su Chunjun for engagement has entertained many foreign notables before.
As to what famous people, please forgive the writer for not making it up.
There were many waiters in the hotel, divided into those in suits and those in long shirts. They stood in the corners, ready to serve the guests.
When Zhu Yanshu and his party walked in, a long-shirted waiter came over to inquire about them, and when he learned that they were attending the engagement banquet, and that they were one of the guests of honor, he immediately led them up in person, and also said softly to Yang Yuyan, “Congratulations Miss, there’s a small hall that’s specially designed for Miss to rest in, so I’m going to lead you in.”
He also explained that if Yang Yuyan didn’t want to eat in the hall later, she could have a separate table in the small hall. This was a thoughtful move to avoid people drinking and making noise in the hall, which the ladies didn’t like.
Yang Yuyan didn’t expect their service to be so thoughtful and bit her ear with Yang Yucan: “This is the charm of money.”
Yang Yucan’s pretty face froze as she teased her to break, seriously warning her, “Today is your good day, no fooling around.”
Yang Yuyan promised in a loud voice, ‘I’m especially good, don’t worry.”
Walking up from the two sides of the revolving staircase, she could take in the hall.
She realized that although there were many waiters in the hall, they were all men. Whether they were yellow-skinned waiters or Indian waiters, they were all men.
Because being a waiter in the hall was a decent job that only men could do.
And the work that women can do is in the shadows, they cannot come out and work in the open. For example, there must be women working in the Peace Hotel, but they might be bedroom cleaners, laundresses, and so on, and there are not even any women in the kitchen; all the dishwashers and washers are men.
Yang Yuyan said in a class discussion with Prof. Dai that this is a deep-seated discrimination, which is the same in both China and the West.
Prof. Dai said he also found it interesting that although the Chinese speak very good English and the Indians speak very bad English, if they meet two waiters, the foreigners are more willing to accept the service of the Indian waiter because they feel that the Indians speak better English, are more submissive, and are less likely to do bad things than the Chinese.
He said, “You see, the criterion for evaluating whether a man can do a good job or not is not whether he can do it or not, but the prejudice of another man.”
She hooked her head to look at the waiters in the hall, and Yang Yucan saw that she was about to poke her body out, pulled her and asked her, “What are you looking at?”
Yang Yuyan retracted her gaze and said, “All the people working in the store outside are men, and here too.”
Yang Yuchan was silent for a moment and said, “That’s the thing we have to try to change. We have to create more opportunities for women, more jobs.”
Yang Yuyan shook her head, “This is actually still a matter of discrimination. To talk about jobs, there are actually many women around us who have access to more decent jobs, but this only belongs to a portion of the population. There are many female students in college who help out their families, and they are able to work. But without the help of the family, it is difficult for others to get the same job.”
For example, if the family owns a small store, they rarely make a distinction between men and women, and many female students grew up working and doing things in their family’s store, but when such a store hires a small laborer, they will never consider a woman. So one part of the population could have job opportunities, while the other part could not get the same opportunities.
Yang Yu Cicada sighed, “This is a difficult problem to solve.”
Zhu Yanshu walked behind on the arm of Zhang Ma, seeing the two sisters talking non-stop, she called out to stop, “What are you two talking about?”
The two sisters twisted their heads together and smiled in the same well-behaved manner, “Didn’t say anything.”
Zhu Yanshu did not fall for it, sneered, “Behave yourselves, it’s okay to fool around normally, but not today.”
The two sisters then took out all their skills of being a lady, no longer daring to say another word.
Zhang Ma was so nervous that she kept gulping, and didn’t have the time to teach the two of them a lesson.
When the group arrived at the engagement hall, there were two rows of flower baskets at the entrance, all congratulating Su Chunjun and Yang Yuyan on their engagement.
Zhu Yanshu paid for ten flower baskets, but here there are at least forty, the whole corridor is full of flowers.
Yang Yuyan was shocked when she walked past, and said to Yang Yucan, “Mom is too generous!”
Yang Yuchan personally ordered the flower baskets and shook her head affirmatively, “No, I just bought ten.”
Who bought the rest?
Could it be Su Chunjun?
Yang Yuyan didn’t care who it was, she first put the blame on her fiancé, and joyfully scolded, “He really spends money indiscriminately!”
Regardless of spending money or not, it’s enough for the scenery anyway.
Into the hall, the guests have come almost, a glance, a sea of people, almost all full, all in the chattering talk.
Yang Yuyan look at the body numb, the scene in front of you is simply a dragon pool and tiger’s den! A sea of fire and daggers!
If not for Yang Yucchan holding her arm tightly, immediately wanted to retreat.
Fortunately, there was still a small hall. The waiter led them into the small hall, it is next to the hall, not too small, there is a bathroom combined with a dressing room, there is a large mirror, outside there is a long sofa and a dresser, and some make-up things.
The waiter said, “We also have makeup artists here, if you need, you can always call them over for service.”
Zhu Yan Shu said, “Thank you so much.” She wanted to take out a tip for the waiter, but the waiter refused to take it, saying, “I don’t accept tip money from my own people, thank you.” After saying that, he made a bow and went out, and said that he was serving in this corridor, and if he was needed just call out.
Zhu Yanshu sat down and sighed, “They need to know at least two foreign languages to work here, after learning so much, they can only do the work of an underling, it’s really condescending.”
Without outsiders, Zhang Ma relaxes more, saying, “Madam is overthinking, the money they earn here is much more than on the street, it would be nice if poor students could find jobs here.”
Zhu Yanshu smiled and said, “That’s true, I can’t be bothered with such idle thoughts. You stay here with them, I’ll go out to see what people have arrived.”
Zhu Yanshu opened the door and went out to accompany the guests, Yang Yuyan sat on the sofa with nothing to do, so she jumped up and lay down on the doorway to look in, wanting to see what people came to her engagement party, how did she feel that she didn’t recognize any of the guests?
She looked at the crack, Yang Yucan taught her, “You’re too ugly, don’t you know when you go out to say hello later?”
Yang Yuyan squinted her eyes and didn’t turn around, beckoning her to call her in a low voice: “Sister, look if that’s Wu Xiaoping?”
Yang Yucan hurried over and Yang Yuyan stepped aside to let her look. Wu Xiaoping was her tutoring student, the family moved away from Zhu Jia Lou a long time ago, her father loved to gamble, and their family was so poor that they had to rely on Wu Xiaoping’s mom to do laundry to make money, so Yang Yu Cicada definitely didn’t send invitations to Wu Xiaoping.
“It’s really her. The one next to her is her mom, and that one is her dad?” Yang Yuchan also barred the doorway to look.
Yang Yuyan: “It must be, wow, father and daughter look alike. They’re not dressed badly, where did they get the money?”
All three members of the Wu family arrived, with clothes that fit well, not exactly fashionable, but not rude either, they all seemed to be new.
Yang Yu Cicada shook her head, “I don’t know ah, she also said last month that the tutoring fee would be given to me two days late, I haven’t been looking for her to ask for it.”
That is, saving up a month’s tutoring fee can’t change three new clothes, because Wu Xiaoping doesn’t come every day, she comes twice a week at most, and only owes ten dollars of tutoring money so far.
Zhang Ma said, “Both of you come back, this is not at home, don’t be naughty.”
Yang Yuyan responded with a hmmm, and suddenly eeped, “Isn’t that Mrs. Jin?”
Zhang Ma has never seen the famous Mrs. Jin, she heard Zhu Yanshu say many times, and has long wanted to see what this ruthless mother who sells her daughter for glory looks like, and immediately went over at her words, “Where is it? Which one?”
Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan both stepped aside, Zhang Ma lay on the doorway, Yang Yuyan pointed to her, “It’s the one talking to my mom right now.”
Mrs. Zhang let out a cry, “She looks like a human being, why doesn’t she do anything?”
Yang Yuchan also heard about Ms. Jin and sighed: “There are all kinds of parents in the world.”
