On the small square table, in addition to a few bottles of yellow and white, a simple plate of fried peanuts, a plate of cold pork ears, a bowl of white-cut beef, and a bowl of sauced duck. Looking at the four corners of the square table again, Wu Heng, Yu Hai, and Mu Guangzhong added themselves, just four bachelors, Jing Jian decided to forgive, stimulated them by the way, and picked up the wine glass with a smile: "Let's go, brothers! Surrounded by a group of soft girls every day, life is better than death! Or drink with the old man and have a good time!"

In the laughter and scolding, a glass was drunk. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Wu Heng rushed to the door with an arrow and welcomed a girl into the door: "Introduction, my girlfriend Cai Man, who teaches in middle school." Wait a little while and let her show her hands, and you all taste it. Seeing that Yu Hai and Mu Guangzhong were already tons of damage, and they were doubled, Jing Jian was about to go crazy laughing.

……

Not to mention Wu Heng's underwhelming dog food, his girlfriend Cai Man behaved very virtuously anyway and went to the kitchen to prepare hot dishes. And Mu Guangzhong suddenly said to Jing Jian: "My dad brought a new student and said that he used to be your tablemate." ”

"Who?" Jing Jian was surprised, and then reacted quickly, "Fang Ya?"

"Yes, yes. She also said that you have a lot of troubles!" Mu Guangzhong's expression almost said, "Hurry up and bribe me."

Before Jing Jian could speak, Yu Hai became a curious baby: "This name seems to be a woman?"

"It's much more exaggerated than this!" Mu Guangzhong's big mouth really couldn't be stopped, "What is the early love between classmates? ”

"!" Wu Heng was greatly admired, "What you can't think of, you Xiaojian dare to do anything?"

"Go, go!" Jing Jian hurriedly denied, "At that time, I was a county cadre, and I was in love with a female teacher, so what was it? Just like Boss Wu is now, he is looking forward to the education of the teacher." ”

"Poof——!" The other three all sprayed, feeling ruined an idiom. It happened that Cai Man walked out of the kitchen with fried shrimp with a puzzled expression: "What female teacher?

"Ahem, ahem. Several people hurriedly changed the subject. Wu Heng began to be indignant: "I didn't figure it out, how could Xiao Jian, that morally corrupt guy, go to a university to work?

"Huh?" Cai Man looked at Jing Jian strangely, "What's wrong with Xiao Jian?"

"Sister-in-law, the years I was in school, it was a terrible situation, Boss Wu has been bullying me, this sad tear ....... I've finally been looking forward to you, and finally someone can take care of him. ”

The room was already full of laughter, and with his old classmates, Jing Jian felt a long-lost lightness. However, when several big men are together, the topic often involuntarily runs to national events, and gradually, they talk about Sino-US trade issues.

“…… This annual most-favored-nation negotiation feels like being held at the key point by the United States, and it is uncomfortable. ”

"Xiao Jian, you just came back from the United States, what do the people over there think? Will there be a trade war?"

At this time, the annual congressional approval of China's most-favored-nation status by the United States seems to be like a tight spell. In order to get the US Congress to pass, China has ceded a lot of interests every year and endured such "blackmail" with all its anger swallowed. Because China knows that if it loses MFN status, it will be a devastating blow to China's economy.

Jing Jian smiled slightly, although he knew the future history, he would not be a god stick casually: "It's certain that you have a headache every year, but a trade war is not likely." ”

"Why?" Wu Heng asked.

"Fear of the Soviet Union. The United States also needs China as an unreliable ally. However, if we want to fundamentally solve the Sino-US trade problem, we still need to join the WTO as soon as possible. Jing Jian replied with a smile.

This kind of small talk changes the topic very quickly. Mu Guangzhong suddenly said: "What's wrong with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe? The political situation is so chaotic?"

"The chaos is yet to come. "Jing Jian ate unhurriedly," maybe the Warsaw Pact will cease to exist and become a historical term. Jing Jian really didn't dare to say that the Soviet Union would collapse, for fear of frightening Mu Guangzhong and a few people.

Unexpectedly, Mu Guangzhong and the others were already frightened: "Is there a date in China? Damn! Isn't that the monopoly of NATO?"

"Hehe, maybe. Anyway, national affairs will depend on you in 20 years!" Jing Jian said with a smile.

"Xiao Jian's attitude is not correct?" Wu Heng was dissatisfied, "Aren't you also a leading cadre? We worked hard to get a deputy department, and you went abroad to gild gold, and you actually became a deputy department?"

Jing Jian understood that this was Wu Heng's joke. So he smiled and said: "I am a literary and artistic worker, unlike you who are the pillars of the ministry." I promised you, I will organize a cheerleading team for you in the future and have a special party for you. Ha ha. ”

"What special party?" Cai Man put the hot soup on the table, and several people hurriedly beckoned her to sit next to Wu Heng. And the topic of women is completely different, Cai Man said with a smile, "The hottest thing now is the "Night of the Motherland" party, there are a lot of Hong Kong stars, and I can't get tickets." I heard that the scalpers have been fried to hundreds. ”

"Huh. Wu Heng immediately asked Jing Jian, "Don't you know Xiao Luzi and them? Have you contacted them since you came back?" Get two tickets for Forehead and Xiao Man, two hundred is two hundred!" Wu Heng They knew that Jing Jian knew Lu Xing, and they had a tight train ticket through Lu Xing's scalpers back then.

"It's too expensive, don't. Cai Man glanced at Wu Heng, but his expression was sweet.

"Once in a while, what's it?" Wu Heng patted his chest, arrogant.

"Okay, okay, don't show affection, there are still singles here. Jing Jian really couldn't stand it, "I'll have someone send tickets to your unit tomorrow." Lao Mu, the sea, you also have them, they are all two, there is a girl you like to seize the opportunity, huh?"

"How much?" Wu Heng asked with a smile.

"Haha, master, I watched a broken party, and I still need to pay?" Jing Jian was triumphant.

This time, Cai Man had an excellent impression of Jing Jian. In the midst of Wu Heng's laughter and scolding, she asked Jing Jian: "Xiao Jian, right? I have a good colleague, a native of Beijing, who looks and has a very good personality, do you want to meet him?"

"Poof!" Wu Heng and the others all sprayed, and Cai Man looked dazed......

……

And in a bar near the Jianguo Gate, Ilyitsev pushed the door open with a leather bag. There are not many people in this foreign-related bar, most of them are diplomats from nearby embassies and consulates and foreign correspondents in China, and in the soft music, Ilyitsev can see Ridro in the corner at a glance.

Lidero, a China correspondent for the ABC and several American newspapers, was chatting with some journalist friends he knew. This is both a relaxation and a way to exchange information, but I suddenly heard someone behind me ask, "Are you Mr. Ridero?"
