Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1078: Chapter 1079: Instructing Subordinates

The three of them settled into the hotel by dusk. After witnessing the scene on the bus, their spirits weren’t particularly high.

But no matter how low the spirits, they still needed to fill their stomachs. Cheng Su said, ”Wash your face, and then we’ll head out for dinner!”

Wang Bo and Zhao Da both agreed as instructed.

After each washed their face in their rooms, they went out to eat. Cheng Su took the opportunity to discuss the plans for the next few days.

In her previous life, she was abandoned the day after Qingming Festival. So for the next few days, she decided to explore the city with Wang Bo and the others, visiting various supply and marketing cooperatives and stores to conduct market research and assess people’s spending capacity.

”The chicken recipes here are quite different from those back home. Try them out, since you’re here, don’t worry about anything else, eat well and drink well, and do your jobs well!” Cheng Su pushed a plate of white cut chicken toward the two.

”Doesn’t have much taste!” Zhao Da said after taking a bite.

Cheng Su chuckled and pushed the plate of ginger and scallion sauce over, then took a piece of chicken breast, dipped it in the sauce before eating.

Zhao Da suddenly understood, his face turning slightly red, and said, ”You need to dip it in the sauce, huh!”

Wang Bo laughed and said, ”You fool, didn’t you see how the folks at the neighboring table are eating?” He gestured towards the table next to them, where an elderly man was also dipping his chicken into the sauce before eating.

Zhao Da laughed sheepishly and asked Cheng Su, ”President Cheng, how do you know everything? You seem very familiar with this city, as if you’ve been here before.”

Cheng Su smiled slightly, ”Haven’t I been here before?” Seeing their surprised expressions, she added, ”In my dreams.”

”President Cheng, you really joke!” Zhao Da laughed.

”Hurry up and eat, after which we’ll head back to rest; it’s been a long train ride and you must be tired!”

”Mm!”

At the table, as they ate and chatted, Cheng Su gave them a few more tips. Being outsiders, they needed to be mindful of local culture and taboos, lest they inadvertently cause trouble by offending local customs; they must be cautious and considerate.

”Is this city so difficult to deal with?” Zhao Da stuck out his tongue, speaking cautiously.

Cheng Su, however, was serious, putting down her chopsticks, ”It’s not that it’s difficult. But every city has its culture and traditions. When we go to a place, we should respect the local culture, try to understand it to avoid making jokes. Not just this city, but many others in the country are like that too, and abroad as well. Wherever we go, understanding local culture is essential.”

Zhao Da, having been lectured, quickly straightened up and said, ”President Cheng, I got it!”

Cheng Su acknowledged with a hum, saying, ”Remember, no matter where you go in the future, you should always have compassion, you should learn to respect others, their beliefs, and their cultures.”

”Yes, President Cheng!” Wang Bo and Zhao Da both replied earnestly.

She was teaching them the principles of life.

”Alright, let’s eat!” Cheng Su finally said.

They picked up their chopsticks again, suddenly hearing a round of applause. Looking over, they saw it was an elderly man at the neighboring table who had also ordered a plate of chicken, applauding them.

More precisely, he was applauding Cheng Su.

Cheng Su hurriedly nodded slightly at the old man, offering a smile.

”Such a young girl, yet she has such wisdom, not bad at all.” The old man praised Cheng Su, his eyes, which seemed to see straight into the heart, sparkling with admiration.

”You flatter me, elder.” Cheng Su smiled generously.

The old man, however, came over.
