Chapter 1463: Wearing a Formal Suit
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“How do I look in this?”
The next day, Zhang Zian put on a suit and showed it off to the elves, and asked for their opinions.
Today, it is the Foundation’s celebration that is held in the form of a banquet. Guests who are present are required to enter the venue in formal dress codes according to the organizer’s requirements.
This is the first time Zhang Zian wore a suit, because there is no need to wear it in China, and he doesn’t pay much attention to these type of things. Even if there is a formal dinner in China, most guests will go in formal clothes consisting of collar s.h.i.+rts and long pants. If you don’t wear a tank top and flip-flops for dinner, it’s already a treat for the organizers … If someone wears a tuxedo, it will make people think that they are trying too hard to please the host.
However, for western dinners, especially for such serious occasions, if you wear casual clothes or ordinary suits, it may make foreigners present feel that the Chinese do not understand etiquette, which will make the situation awkward.
So, for this dinner, he had to spend money on a suit, which was one of the reasons why he was hesitant to come at first. He felt distressed to buy clothes that would be worn only once.
“Ga? This is a suit? You idiot can even make mistakes with your suit? It also reveals the fact that you have an insufficient IQ balance!” Richard exclaimed gloatingly.
This is because what Zhang Zian was wearing is completely different from the traditional western-style suit, and it is closer to the style of a Chinese tunic suit. It has a dark collar pocket, but it is different. The material is satin, dark black, and there is a Western-style pocket towel in it.
Both Richard and Famous have never seen such a western-style suit, but both doubt that he was actually wearing the correct thing.
“Shut your beak! Do you think that only a western-style suit is considered a suit?” Zhang Zian reb.u.t.ted, “Can’t you see that this a Chinese-style suit?”
Before going abroad, he originally planned to make a western-style suit. However, after thinking about it, at the dinner party on this occasion, the men were all dressed in the same style, and he couldn’t tell who was who from the back, and his handsomeness would be lost amongst the sea of men looking the same. Thus, he decided that he might as well copy the style of national leaders at important banquets and order a new set of Chinese tunic suit, which not only obeyed the rules of Western-style dinners but also reflected his own personality and taste. Besides, it is the thing that his country’s leaders.h.i.+p wears, so no one will say that it is ugly.
“I feel that you look good. It fits the event and is generous enough, showing the temperament of my great country.” Old Time Tea praised because this dress is like the clothes it wore when it experienced progress during its era.
Fina dismissed it off, “I can’t understand why the formal clothes of modern people are so dark, and they look very hot when they look at them.”
“Oh! It stained the old lady’s eyes!” Snowy Lionet said, spitting, “The old lady just wanted to know if the girls were wearing clothes that politely exposed the entire back and half of their thighs?”
“Should be similar, but what do you want to do with that?” Zhang Zian asked warily.
Snowy Lionet laughed cunningly twice and waved its paws a little, “That kind of clothes should be very thin, and you can’t wear underwear, as long as I pretend to accidentally cut off their strings… oh!”
Zhang Zian: “…”
“But I advise you not to dream about all these things. It will never even be your turn to X! When I start my operations, you’d better turn your head or close your eyes, otherwise don’t blame me when I make you wear women’s evening dresses in the future!” Snowy Lionet threatened fiercely.
Zhang Zian: “… it looks like it’s time for you to go back to the phone to rest.”
“How dare you! Do you believe that I can castrate you on the spot, right now?” Snowy Lionet was so furious. It was not easy for there to be an event where it can easily and casually look at girls with backless tops and opened dresses that showed off their thighs. How could it just let that go?
When it ran, he ran around it in circles. Anyway, its short legs could not catch up with him, and finally, it was so tired that it collapsed directly on the carpet. However, the cat is cruel. When it is not too late at night, it announced that tomorrow’s breakfast would be ham and eggs.
Zhang Zian planned to wait for it to sleep on the night and then chase it to the balcony to fend for itself. Anyway, the night in San Francisco couldn’t freeze it much anyway.
“Meow…The clothes look good on you.” Xinghai ran back from the balcony and looked at his clothes.
“Haha, I love to hear those words! But Xinghai, you usually look like you are wearing a suit anyway …” He laughed.
Isn’t Xinghai’s black and white appearance very similar to the combination of a black jacket and a white s.h.i.+rt?
“Squeak!” Π applauded and gave a thumbs up.
“Thank you.” Zhang Zian moved forward calmly and slowly, because the person with your thumbs up may not be praising you, but it may be a precursor to an entirely opposite of praise…
Vladimir is not in the house, and it always can’t help it but run out to establish the Red Cross Society of America.
The ones who were officially invited are only Zhang Zian and Famous. The Foundation knew that Famous was the dog that became the film king of Berlin, so it invited it to attend. The other elves could only go by adopting invisibly if they wanted to go.
After trying it on, Zhang Zian put his clothes on the bed and prepared to wear them tonight.
“Quack! Where are you going today? Is it your long-cherished Castro area with rainbow flags flying? Find a white nerd with gla.s.ses or a black guy with a reggae head or a Latin American artist with an afro. Maybe you can experience if ‘The ruler is longer, or the inch is shorter’? However, let me remind you that the essence of Castro Street comes out only at night!” Richard flew over his shoulder and chattered.
“I didn’t visit Chinatown well yesterday. I’ll make up for it today.” Zhang Zian ignored its noise and turned to Old Time Tea for advice.
Yesterday he drove past Chinatown and hovered at the entrance for a while, but … unfortunately, the entrance of the Chinatown he arrived at happened to have a green roof gate with a plaque on it, saying, “The world is public,” which was dazzled by the sunlight. It was beautiful under the light, and the scene was so green it made him panic.
In addition, the timing of what they did yesterday was not right. There was a lot of traffic in Chinatown. Due to the narrow streets, the car drove like a snail, so he could only stroll outside without going in deeper, and he couldn’t take Old Time Tea in to see the martial arts in Chinatown. He was a bit regretful, and so he plans to make up for it today. Of course, he must change to another entrance and can not pa.s.s under the green roof gate.
Old Time Tea nodded happily.
“You idiot, you don’t want to go to Chinatown, do you? Are you thinking of going to the Italian town next door to watch a strip show? Then fire off with an Italian cannon?” Alas, Richard, has seen through everything.
It didn’t wait for Zhang Zian to clarify, and it said, “Quack! But I don’t object. It’s mainly Cantonese in Chinatown. I happen to be learning Cantonese, which is going to be useful here!”
It is rare for it to speak words that make sense. Thus, of course, Zhang Zian has no reason to object, but usually, it is just a superficial sense of making sense…
Sure enough, it then raised its volume, took a deep breath, and shouted, “Coming up next, let me, please sing you a Cantonese version of “Swallowing Essence”! Swallow …Ga!”
As soon as it lifted its head to prepare to sing, it was tucked under the pillow by Zhang Zian.
