Chen Geng feels that this favor is well paved, maybe after a few years, he may be able to mix up the title of "old friend of the Chinese people"?

However, considering that he still holds a green card in the United States and not a U.S. citizen, theoretically speaking, he is still a Chinese citizen, although he was born in the United States, and he does not have any information in China to prove that he is a typical black household, and it seems unlikely that he wants to become an "old friend of the Chinese people", but ......

Whatever!

This one doesn't matter.

Chen knows very well that with this favor, after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States next year, he will have a much greater opportunity than others.

But Chen Geng never imagined that Huaxia, who was ready to open his eyes to see the world in 78, faced with this international environment that is almost the enemy of the world, has an urgent need for friends and true friends: after the reception, he Chen left happily and chicly, and Deputy Director Ding and Director Lian looked at the car keys and three thick stacks of dollars on the table, their eyes were red......

It was Deputy Director Miao who spoke, and when he talked about Chen Geng, he undoubtedly gave Chen Geng the title of "comrade": "Lao Ding, how much do you know about this Comrade Chen Geng?"

"It's not a lot, I just know that he came on behalf of the Michigan branch of the United Chinese Chamber of Commerce," Comrade Lao Ding shook his head: "But it seems that he is not an American." ”

"Not an American?" Hearing this, Director Lian and Deputy Director Miao were both shocked.

"Well," Comrade Lao Ding nodded: "I overheard him talking to other people in the Chinese United Chamber of Commerce and said that he is now getting a green card." ”

Green card?!

Director Lian and Deputy Director Miao glanced at each other, and there was a sparkling color in their eyes: as diplomats, they certainly know the difference between holding American citizenship and holding a US green card.

Deputy Director Miao immediately asked impatiently: "Then did he say which nationality he is?"

Comrade Lao Ding shook his head: "I didn't listen to him about this." ”

"Comrade Chen Geng's nationality issue will be put aside for a moment," Director Lian (who is actually also the party secretary of the liaison office), who has not spoken much, said: "But one thing is certain, that is, this Comrade Chen Geng is very concerned about China and our nation, and is an overseas Chinese who has a strong sense of national pride and very much hopes for the prosperity and strength of the country. ”

"That's right!" Comrade Lao Ding and Deputy Director Miao said in unison.

Things are in front of you, $30,000 plus a Cadillac limousine, and a promise of $5,000 a month in the future, can you say that people don't love this country, don't love this nation?

"As far as our liaison office is concerned, if we can meet Comrade Chen Geng tonight, the reception we held is a victorious and successful reception, and the country's support for us has not been wasted. "Director Lian once again set the tone for tonight's reception.

"That's right!"

"That's right. ”

Regarding Director Lian's statement, Comrade Lao Ding and Deputy Director Miao once again gave a high degree of support in unison - if Chen Geng did not appear tonight, the cocktail party would be completely smashed, and this highlight must be highlighted.

But then, Director Lian changed the topic: "Of course, we must also fully understand our shortcomings this time, but the main problem at present is how to deal with the money and cars? ”

According to the original plan, it would be good to send a note of the reception to China through international mail after the reception, but I didn't expect that the harvest of this reception was far beyond everyone's imagination.

The only problem is that the cost of international calls is too expensive, and when a director and two deputy directors are there, the three of them must agree to make international calls - the country is really poor, and it is necessary to deduct the calculation of the rope for an international call, but there is no way, and it is estimated that the long-distance will pay dollars.

Comrade Lao Ding and Deputy Director Miao glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

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

In the morning, the sun is warm on the body, and when it is almost 9 o'clock in the morning and almost 10 o'clock in the morning, the sun is comfortable, and a few small shoots have been exposed on the branches, and everything is full of vitality, faintly indicating that what is quietly happening in this ancient country and nation.

But Minister Huang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not in the mood to look at this, he frowned slightly, and walked towards a cross-courtyard - the old man has always been very concerned about the results of the reception of the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States.

"This is a good thing," after listening to Minister Huang's report, the old man nodded happily: "We don't need many good friends, we are lucky to know one at a time." ”

"But......" Minister Huang was a little worried.

The old man waved his hand: "No, if there is something, it will be something long ago, how can you wait until now? And do you think that if you are not with a person who is full of love for the country and the nation, can you say such a thing? ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused, took a puff of his cigarette, and continued: "What this little friend said is right, since we plan to open our eyes to see the world, we must see more clearly, and it is not the same thing to always see flowers in the fog."

With these newspapers, magazines, and scientific papers, we can see the world more clearly, just like people who are short-sighted and have to wear glasses to see clearly.

But this doesn't mean that we don't need glasses, since this Chen child plans to help us with a pair of glasses, then let's continue, just remember this favor, and when I have the opportunity to meet this child in the future, I personally thank him. ”

"Yes, I know, I'll tell you to go down when I get back. With the old man's instructions, Minister Huang also breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask for instructions: "Then the money ......?"

"Since Chen Xiaoxiao said that it can only be used to buy periodicals, newspapers, and magazines, then we must respect Chen Xiaoxiao's opinion," the old man waved his hand: "We must keep our word! Who wants to deal with a person who has no faith in his words and does not respect others?"

According to common sense, tens of thousands of dollars are impossible to attract the attention of the elderly, no matter how difficult the republic is, as an old man, he will not take the 30,000 dollars too seriously, but the problem is that the reception held by the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States is too important for Huaxia, and the significance of this reception cannot be overstated.

Minister Huang looked ashamed: "What you criticize is." ”

In his heart, he was quite surprised: The old man values this Chen Geng very much?

"Of course, 30,000 US dollars is a lot less, but not too much, if you really want to buy everything you want to buy, I'm afraid you can't stop 300,000 US dollars, so what to buy and what not to buy, this must be well planned, you tell the comrades of the general office about this matter, let the comrades of the general office count and analyze which aspects of the consultation are the most urgent things we need to understand, and divide the importance and order into priorities, one, two, three, four, grasp the key points, don't grasp all the eyebrows and mustaches. The old man raised a finger and said: "My opinion, science and technology, especially science and technology related to people's livelihood, can be given priority, and listen to the opinions of comrades in the education system, especially major universities, to see what information they need. ”

"Yes, I remember," Minister Huang nodded again and again, and said with admiration: "You are still thoughtful, and I will convey your meaning to the comrades in the general office." ”

"Well," the old man responded, thought for a while, and then instructed: "Since the children are kind, then we can't eat buns without thanking the cook, and talk to the comrades, so that the comrades who come to borrow and copy these materials know how this information came from, and we must remember the good of others." ”

"Yes. Although he felt that the old man's order was unnecessary, Minister Huang still responded happily: left and right are just a matter of words.

Chen Geng didn't know, because of the old man's command, all the scientific research institutes that came to excerpt and borrow these foreign newspapers, periodicals, literature and papers were full of gratitude to him, so that when Chen Geng came to China more than a year later, almost everyone in these scientific research institutes, colleges and universities and military units was full of good feelings towards him, and they did their best to support and meet his requirements.

————————————

Chen Gengke didn't know how much of a sensation his $30,000 and the Cadillac had caused, and he rushed back to Detroit in a happy mood, and as soon as he returned to the company, he saw the owner of the property he was renting: Mr. Robinson, a white American man in his fifties.

At this moment he was waving something to Miss Elizabeth, and Miss Elizabeth was helpless, and kept explaining something to Robinson.

Seeing Chen Geng, Robinson's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked quickly towards Chen Geng: "Fernandez, I heard that you are going to buy a piece of land?"

Looking at Robinson, who had no eagerness on his face and no concealment at all, Chen Geng smiled, nodded, and did not deny it: "That's right, you have also seen that the area of this land is too small, which has hindered the normal business development of my company, so I am ready to change to a larger place." ”
