Now already rent the office, they would start dressing up. All three of them performed their duties and carried out their work in an orderly manner. Rainbow mainly responsible for outreach and administration, so she needed to follow up to purchase desks and daily office supplies this week. Lee led the contact with the relevant persons in charge of the General Administration Office of China to promote the implementation of the project, and Dan focused on local market investigations and reported the progress.
Rainbow was searching for good quality and cheap furniture suppliers online now, but it was a bit hard. Lee walked over and saw that she was upset, said, "Why don't you go to the real estate uncle Dunnan for help. After all, he is a local and familiar with the local market. Maybe he can help you." Lee's words made her suddenly enlightened, "Okay, I will go downstairs to find him now. Thanks." Rainbow thanked.
After going downstairs, she walked into the property office and saw that Uncle Dunnan was staring at the mobile phone intently, sliding his hand and talking about it from time to time. Rainbow knew this situation best that he must be playing online games because he had exactly the same expression as her younger brother while in games . She walked in, trying to scare the uncle. "Hi" She shouted loudly beside his ear. The uncle was so scared that the phone almost fell to the ground and kept tapping his heart. After recovering, he gently hit Rainbow on the shoulder and said in English:
"You scared of me, naughty girl. "
"Sorry sorry, it is my fault, uncle Dunnan, please forgive me.", Rainbow felt embarrassed, but at the same time wanted to laugh.
"Okok, i forgive you. And what are you doing here" Uncle Dunnan waved his hand and asked with a smile.
"Oh, can you do me a favor? I need to purchase some office supplies, such office table, notebook, pen and so on. And i dont familiar with the local market. I want to buy some cheaper but in good quality goods." She said slowly .
"oh, I see. Of course, who am I Ah, everything is not knowing nothing is okay, Bangkok know-it-all, hahaha "Uncle Dunnan laughed wildly.
"Yep yep, uncle Dun, you are very clever, i admire you. " she made a gesture of admiration.
"Okok, go go go, i will take you to market " Uncle Dunnan smiled and stood up.
They took the subway to the local furniture market together. With his personal charm, Uncle Dunnan helped Rainbow purchase a few desks, office chairs, stools, sofas and other furniture at low prices. It would be tomorrow morning to deliver to the office. Now It was noon and time for lunch. Uncle Dunnan recommended Rainbow to go to the local floating market, where there had many snacks.
It was a floating market where had many small boats on the water, and the fruits and pastries on the boats were dazzling. The vendors were enthusiastically selling their things to the people on the shore that made Rainbow shocked which had only seen such scenes in books before. But now it was a real scene. For Rainbow, everything was so curious and fun that she really wanted to spend a day strolling here. Uncle Dunnan said to Rainbow. "How about we eating here? This is local noodle, it's delicious." "Ok, i want to try". She replied.
After waiting for a while, the order came up, and it smelled really good. She couldn't wait to take a sip, and said to Uncle Dunnan with a thumbs up:
"Yummy, i like it very much. "
"Yep, glad to hear that." The uncle replied, then looked at her and said, "can i ask you a question." .
"Ok, go ahead," She replied.
"Why did you decide to come to Thailand to work? For most Chinese people, it is just a tourist place. Do you have other reasons for coming to Thailand? Like breaking up with your boyfriend. Please don't get me wrong Me, nothing special, I'm just curious. " the uncle asked.
"It is ok. Nothing speical, i just want to experience different life. By the way, i dont have a BF.so sad." She made a fake cry.
Haha, this lunch ended with the laughter of the uncle. In the afternoon, Uncle Dunnan took her to another market to purchase paper, pen, decorations and so on. After purchasing everything, she looked at her watch and it was 7 o'clock in the evening, but the sky was still bright. It should be like this in the tropics, giving people a misunderstanding during the day.
On the way home with Uncle Dunnan, the two began another conversation. Uncle Dunnan's child was Nike who had just graduated from a foreign university and now worked in a training center. He also joined a band and would perform in a bar at night. The reason why Uncle Dunnan's English was so good is because of the influence of his son Nike, who wanted him to keep pace with the times, so he taught him English. This is why his English did not had a heavy local accent.
Today Rainbow was really grateful to Uncle Dunnan. It was an honor to meet some kind people in this strange city.
