Faced with Fernandez's apology, Feng Jun continued to respond in Mandarin, "It doesn't matter, I'm not offended by your rudeness, and I even saved you. However, I think it's necessary to continue communicating with you in Mandarin."
He felt it was necessary to emphasize—I saved you, because through dealing with Sofia, he had understood one thing, when communicating with Westerners, never be modest: I have done you a favor, you need to understand it!
Actually, thinking this way is incorrect. Assistance like this, of course, counts as a favor, but the issue is: modern Western society highly values public welfare actions, with benevolent individuals being prominent, even to an exaggerated extent.
For instance, if someone falls into water and you jump in to save them and bring them ashore, this is considered a public welfare act. Failing to save someone might lead to disdain, but the key is, rescuing them is the right thing to do, and you shouldn't boast about it.
