IN THIS LESSON
ID: 0636 Intermediate
Though ninjas aren't generally considered one of the risks of doing business in China, one never knows when one is in danger of being knocked off. Sometimes letting down the facade of Mr. Nice Guy can turn on you, as our Canadian businessman Peter is about to discover, to his chagrin. Listen to this podcast, and the tale of Peter's descent into the dark, ugly underworld of Manager Li, in Mandarin Chinese.
