(shuō cáo cāo cáo cāo dào)
English Translation:“Speak of the devil and he will appear.”

Meaning:
This proverb is identical to the English version and is used when someone appears unexpectedly after being mentioned.

我们刚说到他,说曹操曹操到,他就进来了。
(We just mentioned him, and “speak of the devil and he will appear”—he walked in right then.)
