Chapter 340 Cooperation
Tim and Lauren heard Zhang Zi'an shouting "Richard". They didn't know who he was calling. Looking at the second floor, they saw a large group of gray shadows flying towards him with a rattle and landing on his shoulders impartially. When they looked closely, they found that it was an African gray parrot that looked very clever.
Richard put his wings away, pressed his body against his side, and turned, "What's the matter with me?"
Zhang Zian signaled to the two bad guys standing in front of him, "Help me hear what they are saying."
Tim and Lauren were stunned. Although they couldn't understand what the gray parrot was saying, it was obvious that it was talking to the young shop owner, asking questions and answering. The ups and downs of voice could never be fake. They opened a cathouse and had no idea about the parrot, and were deeply surprised even if that was the case.
Richard looked up and said, "Ga? It turns out they are two people from the wrong country. No wonder you asked for help from me! What language do they speak?"
"English." Zhang Zi'an defended himself, "Actually I can understand, but they speak too fast and I can't keep up."
Richard stared at him contemptuously, "If you don't understand, you can't understand. What are you pretending! Let them say it again, I will listen."
Zhang Zian smiled at them apologetically and said in English: "I'm sorry, please say it again?"
"Uh..." Lauren came back to his senses from surprise and repeated the words just now, but this time she unconsciously said it slower. Zhang Zian understood more even without relying on Richard, and came forward to shake hands with the two of them.
As he got closer, he found that Lauren was not petite, taller than most Chinese women, but he was just standing next to her husband and looking very petite. And the big guy Tim... the closer he was, Zhang Zian felt the stronger the pressure, and after shaking his hands, he quickly retreated to a safe distance.
"They watched the video of the kitten dancing and came to visit." Richard explained concisely.
Come and visit... Zhang Zi'an looked at their big bags. Is it so mobilizing to visit?
He was not a fool. He knew that visiting was just a polite word and would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. What's more, coming from Los Angeles from a distance from the ocean was definitely not as simple as visiting.
Zhang Zian was thinking about how to reply, but Richard couldn't wait to respond in English: "Gaga! I'm Richard Jefferson, this is Jeff Richardson, I'm very happy to see you!"
"Your uncle!" Zhang Zi'an was about to pop it, "Why did he even change his surname to me!"
Richard dashed and dodged, "Okay, okay, I can't do anything to you. Sorry, the tongue is wrong! Let me introduce it again, I'm Richard Jeffson, this is Jeff Zhang, I'm very happy to see you! Just call me Richard, call him Jeff." The sentence is in English at the beginning and the back.
Jeff Zhang is almost the same, just make do with it... Zhang Zian no longer cares about the title problem with it.
Tim and Lauren's chins were almost shocked. The parrot spoke standard bbc English, with a straight and rounded word and elegant manner. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never think that this parrot was talking! What shocked them the most was that this parrot knew and knew English, which was amazing!
Zhang Zian sighed as soon as he saw their expressions. As expected, he should have acted in a low-key manner. He said to them in English: "Sorry, leave." After that, he took Richard to the second floor.
"What's wrong? I'm just about to show my skills!" Richard complained.
"Yes, you will be taken away to slice after you finish showing your skills." Zhang Zi'an glared at it, "What if these two people are disguised as Cia, FBI, kgb, and scp?"
Richard: "...I can't be sure of the first three, I'm definitely thinking too much of the last one!"
"Anyway, we must act low-key." Zhang Zian said toughly.
"Actually, you just want to show off without letting me show off, right?" However, Richard had already seen through everything.
Zhang Zi'an made a gesture to flick the bullet and threatened naked: "Your uncle! He agreed to help me find a girlfriend. Now he hasn't even seen a single hair from his girlfriend. You still have the face to bargain with me!"
"Okay, this matter is considered a loss. I took on an epic task rashly, so I will help you pretend to be a fool." Richard said helplessly, "Then what do you think you should do?"
Zhang Zi'an had settled his mind and said, "In this way, you stand on my shoulder behind invisibility. When you want to speak, your paws will pinch my shoulders. I open my mouth to the lip shape, so it sounds like I'm talking."
Richard thought for a while, "That's fine, but what do I want to say?"
"Adapt to the circumstances. It mainly asks them about their purpose, what are their requirements, and try to strive for the greatest benefit, and the standard is to avoid taking advantage of it or suffering losses."
Richard: "...Okay, but what tone do I want to speak in?"
"What accent?" Zhang Zian asked in confusion.
"English has different accents, which accent do you want me to use?"
Zhang Zian didn't expect this question, "Whatever... what accent do they have?"
Tim and Lauren were wandering around the first floor of the store, their eyes frequently falling on Fina, and they often whispered in English to discuss the type of this golden cat.
Richard listened for a while and said, "Although they spoke American English, the woman had some rustic Australian accents, while the man had a Texas dialect or two from time to time."
"Dezhou dialect?" Zhang Zian was stunned, "The man who had been making trouble for a long time was a big man from Shandong?"
"You idiot in Texas!" Richard complained, "Your Shandong man looks like this?"
"...I don't understand, you can do it." Zhang Zi'an waved his hand at it, handed it over to deal with it, and read out the built-in instructions for the game, "Dr. Erin Pepper's lovebird, invisible!"
Richard entered invisible state, and Zhang Zi'an took it back downstairs.
"Sorry, you two have been waiting for a long time. There was something to deal with just now." Richard pinched Zhang Zi'an's shoulder with his paws and said imitating his tone.
Zhang Zi'an grinned in pain. Damn it didn't let you use such a big force! This is definitely a revenge. Let's settle the score with you again!
He thought in his heart, and opened his mouth and waved his mouth.
Tim and Lauren were stunned. They didn't seem to notice just now. The owner actually spoke a mellow London accent?
Richard chose the London accent as Zhang Zi'an's pronunciation because he knew that many Americans liked it very much. He could even say that he was obsessed with the London accent and self-deprecating that American English is broken. Using the London accent is exactly in line with Zhang Zi'an's purpose of not pretending to be dying.
"We need to apologize for us. We took up your time without making an appointment." Lauren said apologetically. I watched the video of the kitten dancing in your store on youtube. I couldn't help but feel excited, but I couldn't find your contact information, so I had to come rashly. Before we came, I had worried about language barriers, but your English level was better than we expected..."
Richard pinched Zhang Zi'an with his claws and opened the river: "Ga...well, in fact, I lived in the UK for several years, and during this period I received a doctorate in English and applied linguistics from Cambridge University."
Tim and Lauren: "..." The doctors from the University of Cambridge have come to open pet stores. What is the competition in China's pet industry?
Zhang Zian either lip-syncing or smiling, making his cheeks so sore. He couldn't speak well, listened fairly well, and could understand part of the conversation. He knew that Richard was doing bad things again and pretended too much!
"You two have come from thousands of miles to make our store prosperous. Please sit down and talk." Richard pinched Zhang Zi'an again.
Zhang Zi'an understood the "sitting down" and raised his hand to signal the chairs in the store for customers to rest. This was the bar high chair that Guo Dongyue brought during the decoration. In the past, there was only a broken four-legged steel pipe chair in the store.
He stared at Tim's butt with a heart-wrenching grief, begging God and Buddha to protect him and never crush the brand new chair.
Fortunately, the chair just creaked and barely held it.
But Richard seemed to have misunderstood something again and let out a few low snickers.8)
