"Miss Huo, I have prepared a car with a local license plate for you. Feng Wanru said as she walked: "Then the driver Lao Zhang is also from China and has worked in the embassy for more than ten years, you can rest assured." ”

Huo Jinwei thanked her: "Counselor Feng, thank you so much. ”

"Don't be so polite. Feng Wanru took Huo Jinwei to the parking lot, and said, "You are Ambassador Zhang's distinguished guests, and these are also my duties. ”

"By the way, Counselor Feng. Huo Jinwei asked tentatively: "I wonder if the embassy has a fax number to the outside world?"

"What's wrong?"

Huo Jinwei explained: "Ding Qiang and I went to Xiaolian's sculpture and wanted to donate a few sets of clothes for him. So I want the company to fax an application and handle it. It's one thing to get through, but the procedure still has to go. ”

"In that case, I'll give you the fax number of my office. Feng Wanru smiled and took out his business card, "You just send it to this number." ”

"Okay, okay. Huo Jinwei said repeatedly: "I'll let them pass it later." ”

The car was already waiting in the parking lot, and it was a very old Passat. The driver, Lao Zhang, saw Feng Wanru coming, and waved his hand, "Counselor, here." ”

Feng Wanru brought Huo Jinwei over and instructed, "Lao Zhang, this is Miss Huo." She's going out to run some errands, and you have to take care of it. ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely listen to Miss Huo's arrangement. Lao Zhang said with a smile, and then opened the back seat door, "Miss Huo, please." ”

Huo Jinwei got into the car, rolled down the window, and said goodbye to Feng Wanru before saying goodbye to Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, I'm going to the city center." ”

Lao Zhang started the car, although the car is old, the maintenance in all aspects is still good, especially the cleanliness in the car is completely similar to that of a new car, what Huo Jinwei didn't expect the most was that Lao Zhang actually wore a pair of white gloves.

"Okay, Miss Huo. ”

"I may have to delay there for a few minutes," Huo Jinwei continued, "I'll just have to wait." ”

"It's okay, you're busy. Old Zhang Le said hehehe.

The Passat slowly drove out of the embassy, and Huo Jinwei hurriedly sent a message to the company's subordinates, asking them to prepare a joint application for Rongshan and Huo's Fund within half an hour.

Maybe it's because Lao Zhang usually sends more people, so he naturally understands the rules. As long as Huo Jinwei doesn't talk to himself, he will never ask more.

After about 20 minutes, Huo Jinwei returned to the old town again, and the place she was going to was Laurent Gerbaud, which is known as the first handmade chocolate in Billysh.

If there is no haute couture on the Champs-Élysées boulevard on top of ready-to-wear, then there are also types of chocolates here.

In most people's cognition, the chocolate that is generally beautifully packaged and displayed in boxes is the representative of the high-end, but here, the bulk chocolate is the pearl left in the ocean.

Because most handmade chocolates can't be stored for long periods of time and made into chunks, selling them by the stick can be a bit daunting.

Huo Jinwei walked into this LG chocolate store, and as soon as she entered the door, she could see countless kinds of chocolates on a table seven or eight meters long.

They are placed on silver trays, and it feels like going to the cafeteria or eating a buffet.

These chocolates range in price from 20 to 200 euros, and they are about the same size, so you can take a bite in your mouth.

After shopping around, Huo Jinwei pointed at the high-price area at random and motioned to the clerk to wrap it up.

Her hands are not idle, compared to buying chocolates, her focus is now on the joint application, and even directly started collaborative office, looking at the staff's wording word by word.

“Serena！”

A male voice called Huo Jinwei's name enthusiastically and excitedly, and Huo Jinwei put down her phone and called the person with a smile, "Laurent." ”

The man was the owner of the chocolate shop, in his thirties, with fluffy, finely curly hair, a steaming cup of coffee and a box of specially packaged chocolates.

"Long time no see. Laurent greeted in not very smooth Chinese, "You are still so beautiful and moving." ”

"Your Chinese is improving very quickly!" Huo Jinwei smiled: "What about the chocolate I ordered?"

Laurent handed the coffee and chocolate in her hand to Huo Jinwei, "It's all ready." According to your requirements, it is kumquat and ginger flavored. And this cup of coffee, I invited you. ”

"Thank you. Huo Jinwei smiled and said, "I also bought some in your store." ”

Only then did Laurent see the empty high-price area, and her mouth turned into an O-shape, "You buy so much?"

"Give it away. Huo Jinwei took a sip of coffee, and at this time, the clerk also sent the packaged chocolates and bills to Huo Jinwei, about 7,300 euros.

Huo Jinwei took out her bank card and paid quickly, "I'll leave first, and we'll talk again when we have a chance." By the way, how much does this box cost in my hand?"

“Free。 Laurent smiled, "I hope your daughter likes it." ”

Huo Jinwei nodded, and Laurent asked the clerk to help carry the other twenty boxes of chocolates back to Huo Jinwei to the car.

Huo Jinwei handed one of the boxes to Lao Zhang, who had been waiting, and said happily: "Lao Zhang, give it to you." ”

Lao Zhang has been in Bilishi for so long, so he naturally knows that this box of chocolates is not cheap. In the face of Huo Jinwei's hospitality, he maintained the usual prevarication of the Chinese people, "Miss Huo, this gift is too valuable, I don't dare to accept it." ”

Huo Jinwei directly put the chocolate on the passenger seat and responded: "Lao Zhang, you have waited for me for so long, and this is just a piece of chocolate, a piece of my heart." ”

Lao Zhang did not refuse again, started the car again, and drove towards the embassy.

Huo Jinwei put her energy back into the application, and her slightly frowning brow showed that she attached great importance to this matter.

After going back and forth, a carefully worded application appeared on Huo Jinwei's mobile phone. After she confirmed, she asked the staff to fax it to the fax number given by Feng Wanru.

The Passat returned to the embassy, and after parking the car, Lao Zhang helped carry the other chocolates upstairs.

Huo Jinwei did not immediately go to Lin Dingqiang, but came to Feng Wanru's office first, and after knocking on the door, Feng Wanru opened the door.

"You're back. Feng Wanru said slowly: "The application has been sent." I didn't expect your company's efficiency to be so fast. ”

Huo Jinwei gave Lao Zhang a look, Lao Zhang brought the chocolate into the house, Huo Jinwei took over, "Counselor Feng is too famous." By the way, I bought some chocolates when I just went to the city center. I don't know how many staff there are in the embassy, so I asked Counselor Feng to help transfer it. ”

Feng Wanru handed the faxed application into Huo Jinwei's hands, looked at the stack of chocolates high, and was stunned for a while.

"So much?"

Huo Jinwei smiled lightly: "Today is considered as a guest of Ding Qiang and I, so we can't come empty-handed, right? Otherwise, I will definitely bring some domestic specialties here. ”

In the face of Huo Jinwei's beautiful words, Feng Wanru couldn't refuse, "Then I'll discuss with the ambassador first, and I'll definitely send Miss Huo's heart." By the way, how long are you and Mr. Lin going to stay here?"

"Tomorrow I've been to Waterloo and I'm ready to leave. Huo Jinwei said smartly: "So I will hand over this application to the management office early tomorrow morning." ”

"Foreigners can't be as efficient as you. Feng Wanru smiled: "That's it, if you can trust me, I'll find someone to send it to you." ”

Huo Jinwei was overjoyed, it seemed that these chocolates were not given away in vain, "Thank you so much Counselor Feng." ”

"No, everyone is their own. I can only help here, and as for the other side who disagrees, I can't interfere. Feng Wanru instructed: "However, you can prepare the style of clothes, so that after the application is approved, you can move on to the next step faster." ”

"Okay, okay. Huo Jinwei said repeatedly.

Feng Wanru said politely: "Let's go, let's go down and eat dumplings." ”

The two went downstairs, and after coming to the activity hall, Huo Jinwei really saw Lin Dingqiang rolling dumpling skins, and he looked good.

Huo Jinwei stepped forward, "Ding Qiang, do you really know how to roll skin?"

Lin Dingqiang, who was holding his cuffs, was very busy and replied, "Yes, I didn't brag this time. ”

The white and pure dumpling skin is rolled round, and the overseas Chinese and embassy staff have a strong interest in this common housework in China, and even some children of three generations who can only speak foreign languages have an inexplicable sense of curiosity about this traditional food of the motherland.

Huo Jinwei wiped her hands, picked up a dumpling wrapper, and said while wrapping: "The application has been handed over to Counselor Feng." We also need to design clothes. ”

Lin Dingqiang thought for a while, "Looking for Li Jianhu! Isn't he a professional?"

Huo Jinwei frowned, "Will he?"

"Of course. Lin Dingqiang put down the rolling pin and said with a smile: "The first fashion show I watched was his." Let's go, let's go give him a call and ask him to make a version. ”

The two came to the side of the hall, and Lin Dingqiang took out his mobile phone and called Li Jianhu.

It was already late at night in the capital, and Li Jianhu said in a daze: "Master Qiang, are you back?"

"No, I don't. Lin Dingqiang said with great spirit: "You help me design two sets of clothes." ”

"Good. Li Jianhu agreed without thinking about it, "Do you wear it or who wears it?"

"I wear it for a child. ”

Li Jianhu's tone suddenly raised an octave, "Isn't it, Master Qiang?

"Fuck you. Since Lin Ding forced the hands-free, this sentence was heard by both of them, "It was designed for Yu Lian." ”

"Who is Yu Lian?" Li Jianhu didn't react at first, but then he thought of Lin Dingqiang's circle of friends, and then he remembered the first citizen of Brussels, "Oh! You want to donate clothes?"

"Yes, the application is all written. Huo Jinwei said on the side: "Jianhu, you want a snack." ”

"Miss Huo, I, Li Jianhu, will put ten thousand hearts on your side. Li Jianhu boasted: "Three days at most, I'll give you three alternatives." ”

"Okay, thank you. ”

Li Jianhu continued: "Master Qiang, how long are you and Miss Huo going to play?"

"Something?" Lin Dingqiang asked rhetorically.

"It's nothing. Li Jianhu said with a smile: "Just let you go, I always feel that something is missing." Drink one less person. ”

"I'm coming back. Lin Dingqiang replied, "When I come back, please drink." ”

"Then I'll wait. ”

"Good. ”

After hanging up the phone, the two glanced at each other, and Huo Jinwei said, "Ding Qiang, is it reliable?"

Although Li Jianhu is a devoted, he still has high attainments in art. Lin Dingqiang responded: "Three words can be summed up, Blake, Crooked, and Elogen." ”

As soon as he finished saying these three words, Lin Dingqiang remembered that this was the secret of watching the show that Xin Qing taught him, and he suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart.

Huo Jinwei laughed tremblingly on the side, "How can you speak English so poorly!"

Lin Dingqiang smiled palely, "It's okay, let's go, continue to make dumplings." ”

The two returned to the long table, and the specially set up stove on the side had already boiled the water, and the wrapped dumplings were put into the pot one by one.

Zhang Yuan came to Lin Dingqiang's side with two glasses of liquor at this time, "Mr. Lin, I have worked hard for you today." If it weren't for your hard work, we wouldn't have been able to eat this most homesick dumpling later. ”

Lin Dingqiang took the wine glass, "It's also because the chefs in the back kitchen have good noodles, otherwise I wouldn't be able to roll out such a strong dumpling skin." ”

The two clinked glasses, and Lin Dingqiang continued: "Ambassador Zhang, can I make a request?"

"You say. ”

"Can you let the kitchen make a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork?" Lin Dingqiang proposed: "The portion I ate at noon today is too inauthentic, but now when I see this dumpling, the gluttonous worms in my stomach are hooked again." ”

Zhang Yuan laughed, "What kind of request is this, I'll arrange it." ”

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Zhang Yuan gave a few words to the people around him, and then said to Huo Jinwei: "Miss Huo, I heard that you sent a lot of chocolates. ”

Huo Jinwei nodded, "A little heart, I also hope that Ambassador Zhang will not blame me for making my own decisions." ”

"Eh, where is it. Zhang Yuan waved his hand, "I haven't thanked you yet, just now after the counselor told me, I thought about taking out some of it and inviting these children to taste it, you see how happy they laugh!"

The two looked at the children on the side, they were still interested in dumplings just now, and after seeing the chocolate, their attention was attracted again, it seemed that compared to hot dumplings, sweet chocolate still has considerable magic.

"It's good if the child is happy. Huo Jinwei smiled lightly: "Ambassador Zhang, Ding Qiang and I are going to leave here after watching tomorrow's Waterloo performance." Taking advantage of the fact that there are few people now, we will say goodbye to you first. ”

Zhang Yuan was a little surprised, but turned his head and thought that Huo Jinwei left halfway earlier in addition to buying chocolates, there should be something to do, "It's okay, then Mr. Lin is going to have fun tonight." After drinking this wine, we will meet in the capital. ”

"See you in the capital. Lin Dingqiang said firmly.
