Zhou Shijie looked at Yuan Zhou with a smile and said, "Little Yuan, your French is good . I wanted to ask you about that yesterday . "
Zhou Shijie was speaking French impressively this time, which made Yuan Zhou slightly perturbed .
"What the hell is 'Your French is good'? I don't even speak English . For foreign languages, I speak either Mandarin or the regional dialect . " Yuan Zhou maintained his composure on the face, but couldn't help ridiculing inwardly .
However, he started to observe the surroundings around earnestly without a trace .
"What the f*ck! They seem to be talking in French . Wait, the names of dishes are also in French . Why can I understand that?" Yuan Zhou revealed a suspicious look .
"Am I a born genius of French and understood this language ever since I was born?" Yuan Zhou couldn't help guessing .
Yuan Zhou prepared to answer Zhouo Shijie's question in French confidently .
"A little . Not too much . " When Yuan Zhou uttered the first word, he found that he couldn't speak French at all .
Then, he fell silent and directly summoned the system .
"System, were you the one that helped me with that?" Yuan Zhou's tone was quite serious .
The system displayed, "The CD for you to learn the etiquette of western-style dishes was in French . "
So the CD that Yuan Zhou had been watching in the past few days was all played in French . As it could be read and understood naturally by Yuan Zhou with no big differences, Yuan Zhou didn't even notice this matter .
Yuan Zhou didn't remember that until he was reminded by the system .
"Then how can I understand French?" Yuan Zhou asked curiously .
The system displayed, "In order for you to learn the skills better . "
"You really did a good job . So you just forgot to pass on the speaking ability to me?" Yuan Zhou said very sincerely for the first half sentence, and the latter half was spoken quite considerately .
The system displayed, "The learning of etiquette doesn't require the speaking ability . "
The words were so conspicuous in Yuan Zhou's mind that he was immediately stupefied .
After quite a while, he said, "System, that really makes a lot of sense . I don't even know what to say . "
Then, the system that made sense vanished again unsurprisingly, just like what it did every time it cheated Yuan Zhou .
Back to reality, Yuan Zhou still gave an explanation to Zhou Shijie .
"I don't speak French . I can only listen and read it . " Yuan Zhou said with an extraordinarily natural tone .
"Really? Can you listen and understand this? Arroseurarrosé . " Zhou Shijie asked with interest .
"Do you want to know the meaning?" Yuan Zhou asked with puzzlement .
"Of course . I just feel this word is very difficult to be translated literally . Last time, this old man almost couldn't understand it . " Zhou Shijie said while stroking his very neat beard .
"It presumably means that 'he who is unjust is doomed to destruction' or 'deal with a man as he deals with you' . " Yuan Zhou said affirmatively .
"Right on . Little Yuan, you French is indeed very good . But you really don't speak it?" Zhou Shijie asked with puzzlement .
In his opinion, if one could read and listen, how could one not speak it?
However, the fact was that Yuan Zhou really didn't speak French at all .
"No, I can't . " Yuan Zhou affirmed that with a nod .
"Haw-haw . If you don't speak, then how did you manage to learn French?" While taking Yuan Zhou to savor the dishes, Zhou Shijie asked with interest .
"By watching . " Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said earnestly .
"An interesting young man . Come and taste this one . " Zhou Shijie pointed at the dishes in front of him and said .
"Um . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then began to taste it .
The two people, old and young, basically walked around and tasted dishes in the conference place . Occasionally, Zhou Shijie introduced some chefs to Yuan Zhou .
