The situation of the reception was almost exactly the same as Chen Geng's guess.

The reception was a buffet, and it can be seen that the Liaison Office and even the Republic have made great efforts for this reception:

The one-foot-long prawns are placed on two large plates, which are the best of the best in the aquatic products company and are airlifted in an incubator with ice.

One is half a pound of oysters, which are full of fatty and tender meat, which makes people have an appetite when they look at it, ensuring that they are pure wild and pollution-free;

Moutai, Wuliangye, Fenjiu, Xifeng...... There are a lot of the eight famous wines, and they are full of them, and at first glance, they are specially for this event, where are the high-end domestic supplies......

There are so many other things.

Chen Geng is very aware of how difficult the current conditions in the country are, and to put it mildly, these ingredients are a few commodities that the state uses in exchange for precious foreign exchange, I believe that before this, the comrades of the liaison office were not willing to touch these things, even now, although the colleagues of the liaison office are looking for people to chat everywhere, they are still very conscious not to touch the various foods on the table, even if Chen Geng has seen more than one person secretly swallowing saliva there.

But after so much effort, the result is not optimistic, the people who came to this cocktail party, almost all of them looked coldly at the comrades of the liaison office with a bystander attitude, and the words of the comrades of the liaison office were also cold, maybe for them, to participate in this cocktail party is a task, as long as they come, do not leave halfway, the task is completed, as for the rest?

Chen Geng saw with his own eyes that a comrade from the liaison office who had been rejected and didn't know how many times walked to a remote corner and wiped the corners of his eyes, but when he turned his head back, he chatted with the overseas compatriots who came to participate in this drinking party with a smile, even if he was ignored, he didn't care at all, he didn't care that his hot face was sticking to someone else's cold buttocks, and he was completely spitting on his face.

Chen Geng's eyes were sour, he didn't want to see this, and when he subconsciously turned his head, he saw a comrade from the liaison office raising a wine glass containing at least 2 taels of white wine and drinking it all, and his face was immediately as red as a boiled crab shell, and the one who clinked glasses with him just casually touched the edge of the wine glass with his lips......

"It's not easy, is it?" a voice sounded beside Chen Geng.

"Yes, it's not easy," Chen Geng nodded, even if he didn't turn his head, he knew who the owner of this voice was: "But it's actually normal." ”

"Oh?" Ding Haijun raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "What do you say?"

Saying that, Ding Haijun was actually very happy in his heart: now it seems that he is probably the only liaison office official who did not encounter a cold face tonight, right?

Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "You all know, ask me what to do?"

"......" Ding Haijun was speechless for a while, this young man was right, why did this happen, they themselves actually knew very well.

After a moment of silence, Ding Haijun said in a deep voice: "We are not wrong. ”

"Yes, you're right," Chen Geng nodded: "But many times it's not just right to do nothing, some things don't have to be right and wrong, doing right is not necessarily right, doing wrong is not necessarily wrong, whether it's politics or something else, how can there be black and white?"

Ding Haijun was surprised, this young man in front of him is only in his early 20s, right? These words can be said by a young man in his early 20s? To put it bluntly, let alone a young man in his 20s, even if he is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who has been mixed in the officialdom all his life, he may not be able to see through this kid.

Ding Haijun, who didn't have much hope, was full of curiosity in his heart.

"You're right," After a period of silence, Ding Haijun tentatively asked Chen Geng, "In that case......

Without waiting for Ding Haijun to finish speaking, Chen Geng waved his hand: "I know what you want to ask, but don't ask." ”

"Huh?" Ding Haijun felt that this was too embarrassing, and I didn't say anything. Some unwilling: "You haven't even listened to me......"

"Look at this drinking party in front of you," pointing to the strange atmosphere of the drinking party in front of him, Chen Geng said: "What questions do you want to ask, do you need to talk about this?"

“……”

Ding Haijun, who originally had a lot to say, couldn't say a word at the moment!

Although Chen Geng is very young, but in front of Chen Geng, Ding Haijun feels as if he is standing in front of him without an inch, his thoughts can't hide from his eyes at all, his gaze seems to be able to see through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and brain, it's really terrible!

Looking at the jaw-dropping appearance of his future (or past) father-in-law, Chen Geng suddenly wanted to laugh: "Don't think about it, I'm a Chinese, I'm a Chinese...... at any time."

As he spoke, Chen Geng took out three stacks of banknotes from the handbag he was carrying, and Ding Haijun: "Take it." ”

"What are you doing here?" Ding Haijun was taken aback by Chen Geng's action, and his hand quickly pulled back as if it had been burned by the red-hot coal: "I'll tell you ......"

As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept over the top dollar bill: 100 yuan denomination, this is three stacks, that is, ...... $30,000?!

"Who said this is for you?" Chen Geng said angrily: "This is my personal donation to the country." ”

"Huh?"

"This ancient nation is now going to open its eyes to see the world, but it is poor in its pocket, and it is hard to save money and think about upgrading those old production equipment in China, how can there be spare money to buy materials?"

Stuffing the money into Ding Haijun's hand, Chen Geng said honestly and unceremoniously: "The ancestors have said that only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one win a hundred battles, since you plan to open your eyes to the world, you don't know the situation of others, you can't do it, you want to know the level of science and technology abroad, industrial technology, national defense equipment, and all kinds of periodicals, magazines, and newspapers are all over the street, but do you have any money? So this money is for you to buy newspapers, magazines, and periodicals...... These things. ”

Ding Haijun's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

His eyes were red, but the movements in his hands were not slow at all, and he also knew that this money was not well seen by the overseas Chinese present, so he immediately put his hand behind his back, and at the same time nodded slightly to the staff of the liaison office who was leaning over from time to time to the corner of his eyes, and motioned to the other party to come over quickly.

Seeing this thick three-fold dollar, the staff of the liaison office who pretended to sneak over inadvertently was also taken aback, and was a little confused about what the situation was, but it was not clear or clear, and the other party also knew that now was not the time to figure out these things, and the top priority was to quickly hand over the money to the director and talk about other things.

With a grateful glance at Chen Geng, the staff quickly left.

It was only at this time that Ding Haijun, who was relieved, sniffled and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

"There are so many whys," Chen Geng shook his head gently: "If I have to say why, it is because I am also a Chinese, and I also hope that my motherland can prosper and become strong again, only when the motherland is strong, can we overseas wanderers not be bullied and scolded, can we straighten our waists and be people, and do not have to pretend to be grandsons when we are bullied by others." ”

Feeling the heartfelt emotion in Chen Geng's words, Ding Haijun breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "You guys...... It's not easy, either. ”

"Who is easy these days?" Chen Geng shook his head and diverted from this somewhat heavy topic: "You don't have to save too much money, and then I will send 5,000 US dollars to our liaison office every month, and I will have a request for this fund." ”

Ding Haijun hurriedly said, "You say." ”

Chen Geng: "This money can only be used to buy all kinds of newspapers and periodicals urgently needed by domestic universities and scientific research institutes, all kinds of magazines and scientific papers that are publicly available, and it is absolutely not allowed to be used in some places where it should not be used, otherwise I will immediately stop donating - since I have decided to open my eyes to see the world, then open the window wider." ”

Ding Haijun was a little embarrassed, although Chen Geng didn't say what should not be used, but he always had a feeling in his heart, as if Chen Geng knew the domestic situation very well. This strange feeling disappeared in a flash, and Ding Haijun nodded heavily: "Mr. Chen, please rest assured, I promise that this money will be used where it should be used." ”

Chen Geng still trusts the character of his future father-in-law (or the old man in the past?), he nodded, and threw the keys to his Cadillac to Ding Haijun: "This Cadillac is also yours, and it also represents a country, and the official car is a little devil car that is not as big as leather shoes, what's going on?"

When he entered the yard before, looking at the three Toyota cars parked in the yard, Chen Geng pouted vigorously: What kind of thing is this? Seeing that Ding Haijun was about to refuse, Chen Geng waved his hand: "You can keep it with peace of mind, anyway, I don't have much money, I am in the car business." ”

Ding Haijun: "......"

He was a little stunned: how much money does this kid have?

He had seen Chen Geng's Cadillac, although he didn't know what model it was, but the huge body was not cheap at first glance, although it was not a new car, but the age of the car was definitely not long, and it was estimated that it would cost tens of thousands of dollars, right?

Just think about it, they just gave their liaison office $30,000, and promised to send another 5,000 a month, a car worth tens of thousands of dollars...... It doesn't seem to be much of a surprise anymore.

With this incident, Ding Haijun finally determined one thing: this young man named Chen Geng is really patriotic and loves this nation very much.

That's enough!

Whatever he was doing, he deserved to be treated differently for that purpose.

"Mr. Chen Geng," Ding Haijun pondered, "thank you very much for all this, I can't promise you anything, the only thing I can say to you is that the motherland and the people welcome you to go home and see it at the right time anytime and anywhere." ”
