Bringing a girl who doesnt speak English to a social function is not a problem. What is a problem is that she acts like someone who doesn't have class, dresses cheap/sluttily, has no charm, knows very little, and lacks the conversational skills to comfortably interact with everyone.
You would be surprised at the backgrounds of many of the wives of the businessmen in HK. You have Stanley Ho whose 4th wive is a dancer. You have other local business men who married prc girls who were former factory workers, massage/restaurant girls, etc when these men were themselves just starting out. Then you have so many of the western guys who married thai / filipino girls they met in the parks on Sunday, at Wanchai, or back at some bars in Thailand / Philippines.
In HK, if you have money and learn the social skills, sketchy backgrounds will be overlooked.
So in conclusion, don't worry about the language barrier as languages can be learned. More importantly make sure she learns dress sense, class, and conversational skills so she can charm the other party guests. In fact she may become so good that you will worry about your superior / colleagues stealing her heart.  | |
