What happened in Hongshan Port finally couldn't be hidden. When Shao Qi beat people, many workers around him saw it, and it was impossible for them not to leak secrets at all. Some of them returned to their homes and whispered about it to their close co-workers, who in turn spread the word to other co-workers who were close to them. In less than two days, the news had spread throughout the construction site, even the engineers from outside.

When the news reaches such an extent, it is no longer appropriate for the "relevant departments" at all levels to pretend to be deaf and dumb. The Foreign Affairs Office of Ha Duong Province, which was aware of the fact that it was in hindsight, was shocked when it received the news. They first called Hongshan City to confirm the matter, and Hongshan City actually knew about it for a long time, but pretended to be ignorant, saying that they had heard about it and had not had time to confirm it to the Hong Kong Construction Group. The Provincial Foreign Affairs Office then called the office of the Hong Kong Construction Group, and Gu Xiaodan confessed very frankly on the phone, saying that there was indeed a small conflict between Chinese employees and foreign employees, and the police station had intervened in the investigation, and the foreign employees were a little frightened and had been sent to the hospital for treatment, and there was no major problem.

"Is it just frightening? How did we hear that the foreign guests were beaten by more than 20 of your employees and broke five ribs?" asked a staff member from the Foreign Affairs Office.

"Uh......" Gu Xiaodan touched her forehead with her hand, this rumor is really unreliable, it is obviously a little bit of a broken face, why did it become like this? She settled down and said, "Director Xu, this is a rumor." It is true that there was a little conflict between our employees and foreign employees, but there was absolutely no such thing as more than 20 people beating up one person, and the foreign guests did not break five ribs, which I can guarantee with my party spirit. ”

"Then how many ribs are broken?" The other party felt that Gu Xiaodan's answer was a little flawed, so he asked.

"Not a single one is broken!" Gu Xiaodan was anxious, "He is in good health now, he is clamoring in the hospital every day to be discharged, and several policemen at the police station can't hold him down." ”

Several policemen pressed a foreign guest, but they couldn't hold it down......

Director Xu only felt sweaty, and countless images of children inappropriate appeared in front of him. He didn't dare to talk to Gu Xiaodan anymore, so he hung up the phone in a hurry and reported to the leader. When the leaders of the Foreign Affairs Office heard about this, they were also frightened, and immediately ordered Director Xu to rush to Hongshan Port with people in the starry night, so as to rescue the foreign guests first. Subsequently, the leader urgently called the provincial leader to report the matter, and there was no need to mention it.

Xu Wei, director of the Foreign Affairs Office, took a translator who knew German, drove a crown car, and rushed all the way to Hongshan Port after eight hours. When he got out of the car, Xu Wei's face was as white as the jellyfish skin of Hongshan Port, and he walked swayingly. Gu Xiaodan came out of the office to greet him when he heard the news, and was startled when he saw him.

"You are Director Xu? You have come to inspect the work since you have just recovered from a serious illness? Oh, this kind of work spirit is really worth learning from. Gu Xiaodan said movingly.

"You're Director Gu, aren't you? Don't say anything, where is Mr. Cunha?" Xu Wei asked breathlessly.

Gu Xiaodan was stunned for a moment and said, "He's not here, he's always been in the city's people's hospital." ”

"I'm going to see him right away!"

"Doesn't it matter to your body?"

"I'm fine......"

"Oh, that's good, if you don't want to go to the office to rest for a while, I'll report to Minister Wang. Mr. Cunha's affairs are now in the hands of Minister Wang. Gu Xiaodan said.

"Minister Wang?" Xu Wei was taken aback, "Is the minister of your Ministry of Communications here?"

Gu Xiaodan covered his mouth and said straightly: "Director Xu, you misunderstood. Minister Wang is the minister of the cooperation department of the State Equipment Industry Corporation, and he is not the same thing as the minister in our ministry. ”

Xu Wei knew that he had put on an oolong, and now there are too many ministers in various units. However, he was still a little puzzled and asked, "Why are they in charge of the Cunha affairs of the Equipment Industry Company?"

Gu Xiaodan waved his hand and said, "I don't know about this, otherwise, you can come in with me to meet Minister Wang." ”

Xu Wei also knew that everything had to be done, and since Gu Xiaodan said that this matter was not in her hands, she would naturally not take him to the hospital without authorization, but had to report it to Minister Wang. Xu Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see Minister Wang first." ”

Gu Xiaodan beckoned Xu Wei and his attaché into the office, first arranged for the interpreter and the driver to sit down and rest, and had tea pour them tea, and then took Xu Wei to Wang Genji's temporary office. After listening to Gu Xiaodan's introduction, Wang Genji just nodded at Xu Wei and asked, "Director Xu came to Hongshan Port, is there anything wrong?"

"I heard that someone in Hongshan Port beat up foreign guests, does Minister Wang know about this?" asked Xu Wei.

Wang Genji said dissatisfiedly: "Is there a mistake in the news that Director Xu heard? Obviously, it was a conflict between the foreign guests and the employees of Hong Kong Construction and they both started to fight each other, how can it be said that our people beat the foreign guests?"

"What about the foreign guests?" asked Xu Wei.

"At the city hospital. ”

"I ask you to immediately lift the illegal detention of foreign guests, and the employees who beat people must be dealt with seriously, and those who violate the law must be investigated for legal responsibility, in addition, he must apologize to the foreign guests, and the Hong Kong Construction Group must compensate the foreign guests for their losses!" Xu Wei's mouth was a string of conditions. This is what he has thought about countless times along the way, and he could have said it more tactfully, but the fatigue of the journey made his liver rise, so his attitude was not so polite.

Wang Genji stared at Xu Wei with the eyes of a mentally handicapped child, and asked coldly for a long time, "Who are you?"

"Me?" Xu Wei was stunned, "I'm from the provincial foreign affairs office." ”

"I thought you were from the United Nations. Wang Gengen said, "Who did you hear say that the foreign guests were illegally detained? I told you that they were fighting, and both sides moved, have you investigated, and you have dealt with it seriously, and you are held accountable, which side are you? Also, apologize, who apologized to whom, have you figured it out?"

"Minister Wang, what do you mean?" Xu Wei's face turned even paler. As the director of the Foreign Affairs Office, he has always dealt with foreign-related affairs, and foreign guests have a special status in China. Gu Xiaodan was quite polite to him just now, and strengthened some of his sense of superiority, so that when he came to Wang Genji, he still couldn't put himself in the right position, and felt that he was qualified to point fingers at Wang Genji.

But who would have thought that Wang Genji is such a good talker, it is not bad if he doesn't play tricks on others on weekdays, and a small director of the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office is a kind of trick in his eyes. Feng Xiaochen brought him over just to let him carry the thunder, can Xu Wei's official authority still scare him?

"Director Xu, have you figured out your identity? You are a cadre of the Foreign Affairs Office, and your every move is to safeguard the interests of the country. You didn't even ask a word about what happened, and when you came up, you asked our comrades to apologize and compensate for the losses, do you think you are an official in the late Qing Dynasty?" Wang Genji rebuked unceremoniously.

"I ......" Xu Wei was dumb all of a sudden, and the other party's aura was too sufficient, which made him a little uncomfortable. Only then did he realize that a minister of the State Equipment Company had the same level as him, and he was an official of a central ministry, a few points older than his local official. After such a file, his sharpness suddenly decreased by seven or eight points, and he couldn't help but say: "Minister Wang, I didn't mean that, I mean...... By the way, you just said the original story, can Minister Wang tell me about the original situation?"

Wang Genji was very satisfied with Xu Wei's change of face, he smiled and nodded, and said, "That's right." We are preparing to contact your Provincial Foreign Affairs Office and ask you to come and deal with this conflict with us. The reason for the incident was that Cunha, an employee of the German company Bowohin, said something insulting to China's national dignity in front of our Chinese staff, which was solemnly criticized by our personnel. Subsequently, there was a verbal altercation between the two sides, and our personnel were not restrained enough, and in the face of the other party's repeated provocations, they beat each other up, causing slight damage to the other party's extracutaneous tissues. At present, both parties have been controlled separately, Cunha has been sent to the hospital to deal with facial tissue injuries, and our client Shao Qi has been administratively detained by the Hong Kong Police Station on suspicion of fighting. ”

"Oh......" Xu Wei felt a little more at ease, since the Chinese personnel have been detained, it means that the port area still attaches more importance to this matter, and will also have an explanation for the German embassy in the future. He asked Wang Genji: "Minister Wang, you just said that Mr. Cunha said something insulting to China's national dignity, what are the specific words?"

He said the Chinese are yellow-skinned monkeys. ”

"This ...... It can't be regarded as insulting to the national character, right?" Xu Wei blurted out. In fact, between different countries and races, some disrespectful words are often used, such as when Chinese talk about foreigners, they often call them "devils", Xu Wei himself said this in private. Because of this, he felt that Cunha was in a hurry to say something like "yellow-skinned monkey" was not a great thing.

Wang Jiji glared at him and asked, "What, does Director Xu think this is not an insult to the national dignity? Do you want me to reflect your attitude to Secretary Wu in your province?"

Xu Wei was taken aback, and quickly denied: "No, no, I didn't mean that." I mean, what this Cunha said is very inappropriate and has seriously damaged the feelings of the Chinese people, and no Chinese with a sense of justice will tolerate such remarks!"

In private, he can say that foreign guests are just joking and have no way to hide their words, but once someone comes to light, as a foreign affairs cadre, he must take a clear-cut stand to express his anger. The other party was also ruthless enough, he just took it casually, and he threatened to stab this sentence to the provincial secretary. Xu Wei really didn't dare to bet on whether the other party had this ability, but he was a cadre from the central government, who knew if he had something to do with Secretary Wu?
