"Are you an ordinary teller? It's impossible. You can do big business if you are fluent in English in Shanghai. How can you do ordinary counters?"

Simpson knew how precious and scarce scholars were in the Qing Dynasty at this moment, and there were even a very small number of Chinese who were proficient in English. They were talented everywhere, so how could they be an ordinary teller?

The man was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he waved his hand and asked the guy to retreat. He turned his head and bowed to the old man who had just queued up and said, "Old man, what business are you here? It's your turn just now, come..."

The old man is the owner of a small restaurant. He has worked hard for more than ten days and saved some scattered money. He wants to come and store it in the bank, so how can he provoke foreigners!

"Oh... It's a shady thing, it's a shady thing, let Lord Foreigner do it first. People are anxious. I'm fine, I just save some money..."

"Oh! The old man is wrong. You are here to do a dime business and are my customers. Why do you have to queue up to give it to the foreign devils?"

"I'm not used to this bad habit. Please... someone comes to pour a cup of tea!"

Come on, this person is so unique that he just threw Simpson aside and simply ignored you. Simpson was disappointed, but this person is very well cultivated!

If you say that people who have become travelers in history are basically people with very high emotional intelligence, they must not be able to be bad-tempered. That kind of arrogant guy might be in the deep mountains and forests for various reasons!

Only those who have high emotional intelligence, can deal with people from all walks of life, and can get along equally regardless of their high or low status, can travel through this world!

Simpson knew that this man had a story, so he quickly called the servant Dali to whisper a few words, and scolded the translator!

In the end, no one in Suzhou people expected that this foreigner actually took Kunlun slaves and translators to apologize to the old man!

"Sorry, sir, I shouldn't have been in the line... I apologize to you for our rudeness just now!"

Ouch, the crowd suddenly yelled, "This foreigner is OK, it's different from what we usually encounter... But he was also unlucky enough to meet Mr. Zhang, a man with a big temper. If someone else had changed to him, there would be no such conflict!"

The owner of the small restaurant was so excited that his hands were trembling. He counted the change for a long time before he counted it clearly. The teller smiled and finished the business for the old man before he looked up at Simpson!

"This gentleman is okay, he is not as annoying as other foreigners... Judging from your clothes and dress, you should have been here for an interview in the Qing Dynasty, right? You have a pen to make a living?"

"Tell me, what business to do... exchange pounds? It's simple, how much to exchange..."

Simpson could tell from the teller's eyes that he was neither humble nor arrogant, which shows that this man had seen the world and must have a story. As a reporter, if he didn't dig deep into such materials, it would be too ineligible!

"Thank you! I don't know how much I want to exchange... I'm going to rent a boat from Zhenjiang to Beijing City. Can you estimate how much I'm most suitable for exchange?"

The teller poked his head out and said, "Go to Beijing? At this time? Do you know that the Emperor of Beijing City is about to get married. Except for the people and officials with household registration, the rest of the people cannot enter the city!"

"Do you have an invitation?"

Simpson licked his lips excitedly, "Oh! You can actually know a lot of news in the capital in Suzhou. It seems that you are not an ordinary person... If you don't dislike it, I can invite you to have a drink in the evening and consult me..."

The teller looked up at Tian and thought, "You can get the invitation to the emperor's wedding, which means you are not an ordinary person... Is it a reporter from London? Is it possible that I can't make a mistake!"

"If you have this level of identity, you don't need to exchange for too many Yingzi... Zhenjiang, just ask the officials' official ships, and those officials don't mind taking you as the way to the big reporter!"

"You can exchange it for three or four hundred pounds first. Anyway, there are many banks in the large commercial port by the canal. If it is not enough, then exchange it at any time..."

The business was done quickly. One pound can be exchanged for nine Chinese dragon-patterned silver dollars at the current international exchange rate. Simpson exchanged more than 3,000 yuan, of which two hundred were all in the ocean, and the rest were the South Notes banknotes issued by the Chinese!

After changing the coins, Simpson learned to bow to the Chinese, "I don't know what this gentleman is called?"

Before the teller could speak, the old man who had just saved the money spoke, "This gentleman is a celebrity in Suzhou City. He is a disciple of Hu Xueyan's God of Wealth, and he is also the big shopkeeper trusted by the old shopkeeper Fan Jian!"

"Zhang Xiaowen! Mr. Zhang! Zhang Dabang, who dared to sue the emperor in front of Ryukyu back then!"

Alas, the crowd suddenly exclaimed, some knew and some didn't, but the name was really well-known. The two studs were moved and came over to bow with their fists!

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. Even the people in the martial arts world have heard of your bold name... Although we seem to be very brave when we lick blood from the knife, if we really see a real dragon like the head of state, we will have to tremble our knees!"

"If you dare to sue the emperor in front of the head of state, you are this courage..." The two bodyguards gave their thumbs up!

Simpson knew he had picked up a treasure as soon as he heard it. He had heard of Zhang Xiaowen's story in Shanghai. Although he didn't know it very well, he also knew that this was a ruthless character!

"Mr. Zhang... Please be sure to enjoy the glory tonight!"

Zhang Xiaowen was sent to the grassroots level for training by Xiao Letian. He was punished for his big mistakes that he almost did before. The investment manager who controlled tens of millions of funds has now become a small bank teller!

Zhang Xiaowen looked up at the old man and smiled, "Can your teahouse make an exception to open for business at night... Big hot dried silk, Wensi tofu, squirrel mandarin fish, sauce-sauce meat... Let this foreigner try the taste of Suzhou too, don't save money for foreigner, he just exchanged several thousand silver dollars!"

"If you say nothing, it's all for me... Come directly tonight, I'll ask my nephew to row and enjoy the scenery..."

A conflict disappeared like this. Except for the Indian little A San and the translator who got a broom, everyone was unlucky to be happy to have a smile waiting for the evening banquet!

If you have enough time to cruise in Suzhou City, of course, Taihu Lake or Yangcheng Lake is the best, but Simpson doesn’t waste so much time. In the evening, the boat takes them directly to Jinji Lake not far outside the city!

The sound of paddles and lights along the way, the leisurely beautiful scenery of Jiangnan water town is fascinating, and Simpsons who eat several Suzhou and Hangzhou side dishes are also quite appreciated!
