Actually, your name is Alex, you‘re a computer engineering consultant; your company sends you to a famous company in Beijing for training and exchange.It has always been your dream to travel to China. You‘re so excited.

You arrived in Beijing two day before starting work. You have visited Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and tasted Peking Duck. You are surprised that the place is busy on Sundays and the stores are open.

Tiananmen Square

Forbidden City

Peking Duck

Great Wall

Monday morning, you go to the company to meet your colleagues.

What is the most appropriate response?

Ni hao, Alex! My name is Yue, nice to meet you!

Hello, Yue! Nice to meet you too.(France's cheek-kissing)

Hello, Yue! Nice to meet you too.

Ni hao, Yue! Nice to meet you too. (Shaking hands)

No! The Chinese do not have this etiquette. Some physical contact can be seen as disrespectful to women.

It's ok! But there's a more professional way.

Perfect! Shaking hands is a professional way. "Ni hao" is a Chinese greeting; it shows you trying to integrate into the group.

After meeting your colleagues, you are taken to meet your superior.

What would be the most appropriate response?

Alex! Huānyíng huānyíng! (welcome)

Ni hao, Mr. Li, thank you for inviting me to the project. (Shaking hands)

Ni hao Dong, thank you for inviting me to the project. (Shaking hands)

Nin hao Mr. Li, thank you for inviting me to the project. (Shaking hands)

No! On formal occasions,we cannot call our superiors by their first names; they could be called by their job title or last name + job title (for example Li jīnglǐ). *jīnglǐ (经理)means the manager

No! "Nihao" is for a colleague or friend, and "Ninhao" is for a superior or an older person.

Great! Good manners can make a good impression on others.

On your first day at the office, your colleagues showed you the company environment and introduced you to others colleagues you may work with. Mr. Li and your colleagues also arranged a dinner today to welcome you. But, after a whole day of information, you feel so tired.

So what will you do?

As I am too tired, I will decline the invitation.

Even though I am tired, I will accepte the invitation.

I will decline the invitation and suggest eating together another time.

In Chinese customs, it may be considered not polite. Besides, the relationship with your manager and colleagues is very important.

You get the key to Chinese culture, and they will be pleased.

It might work, but they have prepared already to have a welcome dinner with you. The first impression is important.

Your manager and colleagues are happy about your arrival and toasting you.

I drink a little and then stop.

I refuse to drink because I don't drink alcohol.

It's not because I don't want to, I can’t drink alcohol for medical reasons.

If you have already started drinking, it will be difficult for you to refuse a toast, and refusal represents disrespect to the toaster.

If so, your colleagues will understand.

You need to find a convincing reason; a straightforward refusal will be seen as disrespectful to others.

You had a late dinner yesterday, but Mr. Li and your colleagues came to work early in the morning. Unfortunately, you don't feel very energetic today.

You are discussing a group project together today. Mr. Li gives a proposal for a computing problem solution. As a computer engineering consultant, you know this proposal will lead to the wrong results.

You point out his mistakes in the meeting, and this proposal may lead to the wrong results.

You say nothing about this problem.

You say nothing about this problem in the meeting. Instead, after the meeting, You go to Mr. Li's office and talk to him privately about your findings and the possible results.

You failed!

Your need to go back. Try again.

You're recalled by the French company saying that the project was aborted. (You made Mr. Li lose face in front of the team).

START OVER?

You’re a consultant; it seems not to be responsible.

You did a great job, this project ended successfully. Upon your return to France, you're promoted.

START OVER?

Your trip has been denied. Try again.

Wrong!

Try harder!We believe in you!
