With the passage of time, standing at the gate of the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States, Li Hongqi and Liu Jiefang, who were in charge of greeting today's guests, became more and more ugly.

Especially the relatively young Liu Jiefang, who is not enough to nourish his energy, seeing that the time for the time reception is coming soon, but there are less than 20 overseas Chinese who come to participate in this cocktail party, and he can't sit at two tables in China.

"Section chief, there are too few people here, right?" Liu Jiefang complained to Li Hongqi in a low voice: "There are only 17 people here, and we have only sat at a few tables, but we are preparing according to the standard of preparing 150 people......"

Li Hongqi actually has a headache.

It was embarrassing to prepare meals and drinks for 150 people, and only two tables of guests came.

Embarrassment is not the most serious problem, the most serious problem is that everyone seems to be overly optimistic about the situation, thinking that as long as the liaison office invites overseas Chinese in the United States in the name of the state, these overseas Chinese who have been overseas for many years will come over as quickly as homeless children hear the call of home, but the current situation is ......

He even knows that the embassies of some developed countries in Europe will also hold similar receptions in the near future, this reception is a flag, if this reception is lively and lively, the flag is fluttering in the wind, our embassies in other countries will be more confident when holding a reception, but if this banquet is listless, only two or three kittens, then when we want to hold a cocktail party next, will we have a bottom in our hearts?

A headache is a headache, Li Hongqi knew that as a leader, he must not drop the chain at this time, so he pretended to be optimistic and lost Liu Jiefang and said: "This time our organization is too hasty, and the United States is so big, it is normal for compatriots to be too late to come, not to mention that at the beginning, don't we have full psychological preparation for the difficulties we face, tell you Liu Jiefang, you don't show me a plague chicken, the country has entrusted us with this arduous and glorious task, this is our trust......"

"There's a guest coming," before he finished speaking, Liu Jiefang suddenly said in a low voice: "Section chief, look, there's a big Cadillac over there, it seems to be coming for us." ”

Li Hongqi, who was giving Liu Jiefang an ideological and political lesson, heard this, and hurriedly turned his head to look over, and sure enough, a black Cadillac was slowly driving towards this side, and it did look like it was coming to the liaison office.

The two of them suddenly became excited, especially Liu Jiefang, complaining and complaining, but as a comrade on the diplomatic front, he wished that the more people who came, the better.

"Pay attention to your appearance," Li Hongqi said in a low voice: "Remember, we represent the country's image in front of overseas Chinese, and we must not discredit D and the country, D and the people...... Don't look around, just check with the corner of your eye!"

The black Cadillac sedan slowly stopped in front of the two, and Chen Geng got out of the car and asked Li Hongqi and Liu Jiefang: "Two comrades, is this the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States?"

This is a complete nonsense, and the huge sign of "Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States" hangs at the door.

Li Hongqi and Liu Jiefang knew that this young man was talking nonsense, but it didn't matter, they were not afraid that he would say nonsense, they were afraid that people would not come, and their faces were immediately full of smiles: "This gentleman, are you here to attend today's cocktail party?"

"Well," Che Neng responded, looking at the two compatriots in the old-fashioned tunics in front of him, inexplicably, his eyes were a little hot: "I'm Chen Geng from Detroit, Michigan, and this is my invitation." ”

"Let me take a look, Detroit, Michigan...... Chen Geng...... That's right...... Please register your invitation to me...... Okay," confirming Chen Geng's identity, Li Hongqi was very happy, and at the same time made a "please" gesture: "Mr. Chen Geng, I wish you a little fun today." ”

"Thank you," Chen Geng smiled and warned: "I also wish you two a smooth work." ”

It was probably the first time today that they met a compatriot who was so polite and kind to them, Li Hongqi and Liu Jiefang were stunned for a moment, and their faces showed smiles in unison: "Thank you, and I wish you a smooth life." ”

The smile is much more sincere than just now.

After all, who doesn't like to stick their hot face to someone else's cold ass, right?

"This ...... Is it called Chen Geng?" Looking at Chen Geng who was slowly entering, Liu Jiefang couldn't help but whisper to Li Hongqi: "There are so many people here, I just look at this pleasing to the eye, people are young, not to mention, they are so polite, they are very educated at a glance, much stronger than those who went in before......"

"How do you speak," Li Hongqi glared at Liu Jiefang, although he also thought so in his heart, but this did not prevent him from criticizing Liu Jiefang: "They are all our compatriots, but they don't understand the current situation of the country, and some ideas are normal, so don't say some strange things......"

........................

Compared with the embassies of later generations, the current liaison office in the United States is really shabby: it is a small three-story building, which is not remarkable at all, and it seems that the country is indeed poor.

"Mr. Chen Geng, right?" Just as Chen Geng was looking at the mottled three-story building in front of him, a very familiar voice sounded behind him: "Hello, I am Ding Haijun, the deputy director of our liaison office, and welcome to you." ”

Ding Navy?!

Hearing this familiar but obviously much younger voice, Chen Geng turned around violently, and the familiar face met Chen Geng's eyes, and the next moment, Chen Geng's whole person was stunned.

What's the situation?

What the hell is going on?

Looking at Lao Ding's face, which was much younger but still very familiar, Chen Geng's heart was like a numb: how could it be him? How could it be Ding Ruoyan's father and his future father-in-law?

Or is it his former father-in-law?

Chen Geng is too familiar with his father-in-law, he has no experience as the deputy director of the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States at all, and he will never be mistaken, but how can Comrade Lao Ding, who appears in front of him now, explain?

A possibility that had never been thought of before came up from the bottom of Chen Geng's heart: Could it be ...... After I went back to 1978, a lot of things changed?

Ding Haijun looked at the young man in front of him whose expression was constantly changing, and felt a little strange in his heart, but he was smart enough not to interrupt him: although this guy is really young, his clothes and temperament can't be hidden, and this strange young man seems to be really rich.

Fortunately, Chen Geng's reaction was fast, and after a short trance, he reacted: "It turned out to be Deputy Director Ding, fortunately, I am Chen Geng from Detroit, I am very happy to meet you." I'm sorry, I just saw you, and I feel like a deceased elder of mine, and I'm a little out of shape. ”

Ding Haijun suddenly realized this, no wonder.

I was about to say two kind words, but my heart suddenly moved, and I couldn't help asking: "That's a coincidence, I don't know ...... you are Mr. Chen."

Chen Geng waved his hand: "It's all been in the past few years." ”

Ding Haijun was a little disappointed that he couldn't get the answer he wanted, but before he could speak, Chen Geng said, "Deputy Director Ding, I see the situation of our liaison office...... It seems a bit hard, huh?"

"Our country is more difficult now," hearing Chen Geng say this, Ding Haijun's spirit was shocked: just now I was thinking about how to open the topic, and the opportunity was sent to the door. Hurriedly said: "I don't know, Mr. Chen, do you know anything about the situation in our China in the past few years?"

Chen Geng nodded: "I know a little, the French also made a movie called "The Occupation of Paris by the Liberation Army" to satirize us, but I heard that the chaos is over, which is a good thing, a country can't keep messing up." ”

Ding Haijun: "......"

I've said all the words, what else can I say?

Glancing up at Ding Haijun, Chen Geng said honestly and unceremoniously: "Deputy Director Ding, is our country about to formally establish diplomatic relations with the United States?"

"How do you know?" Ding Haijun looked at Chen Geng in shock, China and the United States are negotiating on the formal establishment of diplomatic relations, this is top secret, how could this young man in front of him know?

"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Chen Geng said angrily: "As the only official liaison agency of our country in the United States, the US government does not know how many pairs of 'eyes' have been arranged around it. The only common reason that can be explained is that China and the United States are ready to normalize relations, and the two sides are ready to establish diplomatic relations, but now they have not established diplomatic relations.

Chen Geng's words, Ding Haijun was full of sweat!

The reason is true, you can tell from this detail that the two countries have begun to negotiate the formal establishment of diplomatic relations? Ding Haijun only felt extremely frightened, but what made him even more frightened was Chen Geng's next words......

"Therefore, the purpose of our liaison office to hold this reception this time is to show something to the US side, and on the other hand, the high-level is preparing to turn around, and I also hope that we, the overseas Chinese, can go back and have a look, Deputy Director Ding, I don't know if I am right?"

He nodded and said: "That's right, the country is ready to turn around, we hope that you, the overseas Chinese, can go back to see your own country, see your hometown, and at the same time take this opportunity to let you explain some of the policies that the state is ready to implement, I hope you don't look at us with colored glasses, we are not man-eating beasts, we are the same people of the same culture and species, just like everyone." ”

PS: Chapter 22, there are brothers who say that YY has passed, the front-wheel drive Jetta is impossible to modify into a rear-wheel drive car, and the engine compartment is impossible to install an inline six-cylinder 3.0 turbocharged engine, this must be explained, this is really not a millennium YY, there are examples, there is a well-known second-hand car V on the Internet called Li Mouse, which is the most well-known big V in the second-hand car industry, in his "Li Mouse" column in the modified car column "fu#ck my car" (FMC), just changed an old Jetta, and also made a nearly 30-minute video, in addition to the old Santana travel version in the style of a nightclub...... And so on, a very interesting buddy, the column is also full of dry goods about second-hand cars, there are brothers who like car modification and second-hand cars can look for it.

To make it clear, although this passage is suspected of helping people advertise, I really don't know this buddy, but I did learn a lot from his column, and I should be grateful, right?

In the field of car modification, it is recognized that there is nothing that cannot be done, only unexpected, with enough technology and patience, as long as the effort is done, this is really not too difficult.

When I give a similar example in the future, I will give the source to prove that it is not in YY.

Finally, on Monday, the new book list is competing fiercely, brothers, kneel down and beg for the support of recommendation votes.
