Chapter 118: Finally Back
"Comrades, let's have a meeting now. β
In the dining car that was temporarily emptied, the conductor who was privately "affectionately" called Zhang Blackface by the conductors had a straight face, and the frightened conductors didn't dare to come out: Who was caught with pigtails by a black face?
Looking at the subordinates with nervous faces, Comrade Zhang Hei nodded slightly, as if he was quite satisfied with everyone's attitude: "Comrades, I believe you all know that this train has an extra carriage ......."
Before Comrade Zhang Hei's words were finished, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts: It's not a whole person, it's good if it's not a whole person.
The conductor who worked on this train, the lowest of four or five years of service, naturally knew that if Zhang Hei was preparing to rectify the person, it would definitely not be such an opening.
As railway workers, they must know a little more than ordinary people, and they know who are eligible to enjoy the treatment of passenger cars, and the big leaders should not think about this treatment, and those who have this treatment are "the leaders of the big leaders", maybe they are still "the big leaders of the big leaders".
But that's it, no matter how many they don't know, don't look at them as railway employees, but railway employees are not qualified to enter the inside of the special train to get a glimpse of the true face, let alone go in to clean up to see what the furnishings and layout are like, because you don't have the qualifications to go in and clean at all.
But since Zhang Hei said that the carriage was added, the next thing to talk about must be the matter of that carriage?
Sure enough!
Comrade Zhang Hei continued: "I am very satisfied with the comrades who strictly abide by the confidentiality discipline during the operation of this train, and do not say what should not be said, do not ask what should not be asked, and do not inquire about what should not be inquired", and the team party committee is also very satisfied.
According to the order of the superiors, I can now give you some limited information about that special train: there are high-ranking dignitaries from the United States personally invited by the head of the Central Committee, and their destination is our capital......
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Before that, although it could not be discussed, everyone felt in their hearts that it was very likely that a certain high-level leader who had gone down to inspect was sitting in the additional carriage, but they did not expect it to be an American? Or a distinguished guest?
I can't even think of it even if I think about it.
You can't imagine that there was also a senior cadre of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accompanying the whole train on that special train. But there is no need to say these words to the comrades.
"Now, there is still an arduous task waiting for you, I believe that some comrades have thought of maintaining order, yes, it is to maintain order!" The black-faced comrade raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said: "From now on, this train will arrive at the capital station in two hours, and I will assign you a task: after this train arrives at the capital station, the door of the carriage should not be opened first, and the door can be opened only after the foreign guests get off the train and the leaders who came to the auto show to greet them have left."
This is an order from the ministry, this is a political task, and there is absolutely no room for the slightest mistake.
"Remembered. "The conductors are awe-inspiring!
Political mission!
Distinguished guests from the United States!
There will be leaders of the central government to greet you!
At this time, something went wrong, and it was a joke about his future. But......
What do the VIPs from the United States look like?
Is it yellow or brown?
........................
"Chen Dong, please. When he got out of the car, Ding Haijun's expression suddenly became serious.
Chen Geng smiled: "You don't have to be so serious, right?"
"It's different," Comrade Lao Ding shook his head and said seriously: "When I was in the car, I could chat with you in a private capacity, but now, I represent Huaxia." β
Chen Geng: "......"
All right!
But after walking two steps, Chen Geng felt that something was wrong: "Huh, why is there no one on the station?"
He knows all too well the hectic scene of the capital train station in this era, but can you believe that there is not even a single passenger on the huge platform except for the station staff?
"You are a distinguished guest, and of course we want to give you the highest respect and courtesy. When he said this, Ding Haijun took it for granted, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with such an arrangement.
Chen Geng did not have pretentious feelings such as "this fully reflects how backward China is", he just felt a little sad: he knew that when the republic decided to open the door to contact with the world, he was trembling, all kinds of fear, all kinds of caution, hoping that the world would be friendly to him, but also worried that others would have bad intentions, and he was afraid that he would lose face and dignity in the process.
"Thank you. Chen Geng stopped and looked at Ding Haijun and said seriously.
Ding Haijun was stunned for a moment, he felt the sincerity in Chen Geng's words, and unconsciously brought out a smile on his face: "No, ...... other"
"Huh?"
"Welcome home. β
............
It must be admitted that the discipline of the Chinese people in this era is really not to say, after the conductor said that there are important VIPs on this train, and the door can only be opened after leaving, no one protests, no one expresses dissatisfaction, everyone is interested in coming to the window to look out: anyway, the conductor only said that he can't get off the train, but he didn't say that he can't watch it, right? But where are the VIPs?
In fact, the conductor was also curious, standing at the door of the carriage and looking out: what kind of VIP is it, so good?
Chen Geng didn't know that he had become an animal in the zoo that was watched, out of the carriage, Chen Geng didn't go far, about 10 meters, Chen Geng saw a large group of people wearing four pockets walking towards him.
Seeing this large group of people walking towards him and others, Statham suddenly became nervous: "Boss?"
"Don't be nervous, this should be the crowd that welcomes us on behalf of the official...... Mr. Ding, huh?" Chen Geng motioned to Statham to be calm and make some noise at this time, it would be a shame.
"Yes...... The one at the head is Director Xu of our department, and I will introduce you to the rest later. Ding Haijun whispered to Chen Geng very quickly.
Chen Geng nodded.
Why is it only a director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came, this is also very understandable, who made Chen Geng just a businessman.
Chen Geng didn't know how to greet him, but the top brass had a lot of brains: What level of comrades should be sent to the train to greet Chen Geng? If Chen Geng was a government official, of course, there would be no problem, and it would be enough to receive him according to the principle of reciprocity, but Chen Geng was a businessman and a capitalist.
What should I do? There's no precedent for that.
There is no doubt that leading cadres at or above the provincial and ministerial levels will definitely not work, but it will not work if it is too low, not to mention the money and help that people have donated to Huaxia in the past six months, even if it is only for the strength of others, you can't just send a little minion to deal with the errand.
The final result of the discussion: at the department and bureau level.
The department and bureau level is the backbone and backbone of the cadre ranks, and it will neither appear too "flattering" nor make the other party feel that he has been left out. However, this is a greeting, and at the welcome banquet that follows, in principle, there is no upper limit on the rank of the leading cadres who participate in the banquet...... Who made the family a patriotic Chinese?
Director Xu walked a few steps quickly, and stretched out his hand to Chen Geng from afar, and laughed heartily loudly: "This is Mr. Chen Geng, right? Hello, I am Xu Guangming from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, and I sincerely welcome you on behalf of the Chinese people." β
Chen Geng felt that he had seen a lot, he never thought that so many people would come to the airport to greet him.
In addition to the foreign affairs system, the people who come to the airport to greet them are from the first, third, and fifth aircraft departments......
Chen Geng was a little confused: It's easy to understand that the first machine department sent someone here, the agricultural machinery department, and he is more or less involved in a little bit of eight poles can barely play the side, but your third machine department is in charge of the aviation industry, and the fifth machine department, as the later ordnance industry department, is it really good for you to come to me?
As for the later associations for science and technology, the Federation of Overseas Chinese, and the various bureaus in the capital......
Mirren's eyes were already full of mosquito coils: how could there be so many people?
Chen Geng is okay, he is fully mentally prepared, but Miren, Statham and others, who have never enjoyed this kind of treatment, are directly stupid, how have they ever seen such a scene?
After leaving the train station, after entering the reserved project of flowers for teenagers and girls with red scarves, until they got on the three-row Cadillac that Chen Geng donated to China and was temporarily borrowed by the foreign affairs department, Mirren's head was still dizzy: "Boss, have we been treated at the level of the head of state today?"
"The treatment of the head of state? you think too much," Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "But what you said is right, the reception for us is indeed of a high standard, huh...... I guess it's the equivalent of receiving a foreign government minister, right?"
This last sentence was addressed to Ding Haijun.
Ding Haijun nodded: "Well, almost." β
In fact, it is even worse, that is, Director Xu is a department-level cadre after all, if it is really a visit from a foreign government minister, based on the principle of reciprocity, we must also send a minister to greet it, but except for Director Xu's level is not enough, all other relief arrangements are to properly welcome the level of foreign government ministers.
"Wow......"
Hearing Ding Haijun's affirmative reply, Mirren couldn't help but exclaim: Is it actually a ministerial-level reception standard? Or is it a ministerial-level treatment of the five permanent members of the United Nations?
This cow, the old lady can blow it for a lifetime!
According to Chen Geng's request, the convoy will pass by the Monument to the People's Heroes and the landmark of the Republic: Tiananmen Square, and Chen Geng's eyes welled up with tears as he passed these two landmark buildings.
