After visiting the test-firing experiment and taking the train from Hebei Province to Beijing overnight, Gu Biao returned to normal work the next day, and nothing seemed to have happened.

However, he had a little more focus on his mind and began to plan intentionally or unintentionally.

After thinking about it again and again, he decided that establishing a good relationship with Qin Guogang, a colleague who "does not handle the same committee and does not handle the same thing," would be of great use to the follow-up joint meritorious service -- because the other party's position is now in charge of the declaration and management of arms exports.

Some people may wonder: Even if the business is not raised by the Ministry of Industry itself, but handed over to the unified foreign affairs department, shouldn't it be the Ministry of Foreign Trade? Why would the people of the Foreign Investment Commission personally ask about the sale of things?

But at the beginning of 1980~1982, the national situation was really like this.

Because at that time, the Ministry of Foreign Trade was mainly pure liberal arts students, who only cared about exporting foreign exchange and understood the economy, but did not understand technology. In practice, it was found that the Ministry of Foreign Trade could only sell silk, tea, native products, agriculture, livestock, forestry and minerals.

However, due to the backwardness of the country's science and technology industry at that time, there were very few high-value-added technical equipment that could be exported, so it was simply sold to the Foreign Investment Commission, which was in charge of technology and capital introduction, so as not to sell the pure liberal arts students of the Ministry of Foreign Trade at a low price. Including the export of arms, it is also under the overall control of the Foreign Investment Commission. If this aspect is to be meritorious to the state, it is also the work of the relevant offices under the Foreign Investment Commission.

It was not until 1982 that the Foreign Investment Commission was abolished and the Ministry of Foreign Trade was changed to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation established a bunch of professional technical and service trade management institutions.

In order to make friends with Qin Guogang and other useful people, Gu Biao slightly adjusted his work style in just one week - to be exact, "amateur style".

Originally, Gu Biao was more resolute and resolute, but his colleagues did not attach great importance to social aspects.

The main reason is that he doesn't plan to stay in the system for the rest of his life, so why waste too much energy and serve everyone from the big guy to the little ghost. It's enough to make a good impression in the eyes of the big guy.

When the domestic business environment is better, he can make money and contribute to the country by jumping out.

But after this time, he also realized that he was indeed a little narrow-minded.

Although the Foreign Investment Commission is now a large department with nearly 20 subordinate organs at the department and bureau level, more than 100 departments, and thousands of civil servants, it is impossible for everyone to know and be familiar with it.

However, after working in the unit for four months, I couldn't even recognize the directors of other division-level offices, which was indeed a bit unsociable and distracted.

Although Gu Biao can comfort himself with the excuse of "he is really busy". But as a social expert who came out of the Foreign Affairs University, he is really willing to put in some hard work, and he still can't recognize all the three or four hundred people above the deputy director level in his unit?

Therefore, for the follow-up plan, Gu Biao began to consciously make up for his shortcomings, and while working hard, he set aside time to have dinner with his colleagues, play ball, drink tea and wine...... and "team building".

Touching his conscience, he said that Gu Biao had been working for four months, and he had never participated in "team building" before, nor had he been touched by the benefits of the unit's dime.

Anyway, there are not many activities in the unit now, and he only had two opportunities when he went to work before. He used urgent tasks to work overtime and go on business trips.

The main reason is that Gu Biao is too rich, and he is afraid that extra-generous treats will swagger and hatred. There is no impermeable wall under the sky, and everyone knows more or less that his family has money (but I don't know how rich he is).

Therefore, it is better to hide, lest there are no people inside and out.

Nowadays, it is more difficult to reintegrate into the team, and you have to be careful everywhere. If you want to invite everyone to dinner and bowling, you have to set up a clever name, not hurt people's face, and make sure that you don't talk about business, so as not to be distorted as "corrupting colleagues" in the future.

……

On this day, it was already the beginning of August, and it was late at night, and Gu Biao returned to the dormitory with the smell of alcohol. (If you come back after 8 p.m., it's late at night, which is a feature of the times)

"It's so late again, and you're drinking? What's going on lately, if you don't drink, you don't socialize, and it's not asking someone to do something. ”

Xiao Sui, who was writing under the desk lamp, took a basin of cold water and came over to wipe his face distressedly.

"After chatting with a group of colleagues from the Technology Marketing Office, the Policy Research Office, and the Foreign Service Legal Department, I went to play a game. ”

Gu Biao washed his face and said casually, it was not the tone of a wife who explained to his wife strictly.

He's doing business, what's there to explain.

In these years, if no one changes history, it will be five or six years before the first karaoke (not called KTV at that time) and the first Kentucky hometown chicken in Beijing appear.

Except for the bowling that just appeared, there was really no other entertainment.

Or maybe it's going to the ballroom to dance, but that's obviously not suitable for a serious colleague.

"It's okay if you think it's right, I don't care about you, I just want you to be well. Xiao Sui also knew that Gu Biao would not do bad things, so he understood it very well.

Gu Biao grabbed his girlfriend's hand, thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "Why don't you accompany me to socialize next time." Today, I was caught by Sister Liu from the Policy Research Office and Sister Wei from the Legal Affairs Department of the Foreign Service, asked me about my family, and told me to introduce the person.

Hehe, these middle-aged women just have a lot to do, I have said several times that I have a partner, and they will still believe in me. Said that I hid it so deeply, and next time I didn't bring it out, I would really be introduced. They also said that they have a lot of resources on hand that they are willing to deal with me. ”

The 19-year-old county department level is tall and straight, tough and handsome, and he is indeed very popular. Gu Biao has a girlfriend, and many of his friends who have a strong relationship know about it, but many people in the unit don't know.

After all, it is normal for hundreds of colleagues at the same level in a large ministry to not know the details of each other's families.

"These troubled old women!" Xiao Sui secretly spat, his face was slightly red, and then he felt that his husband was really good and wanted to comfort him.

Gu Biao also has the strength to drink, so he naturally gets up in a daze.

Recently, there has been a lot of socializing, and after just 40 minutes, Gu Biao entered a half-asleep in a daze.

The exhaustion of physical strength and the sage of the spirit complement each other, which is roughly this state of the physical body not wanting to move, and the consciousness is still slightly sober.

Xiao Sui didn't bother to move.

On a summer night in August, it was very hot, the fan was whining, and there was no need to cover any blankets or do any aftercare, everything was placed in the most natural state.

"Jingle bell~" The piercing phone ringing came to mind, which made Xiao Sui, who was immersed in the sweet aftertaste, very angry.

But she was afraid that she would miss her husband's business, so she was still very enthusiastic and jumped over, pulled the microphone over, and handed it to Gu Biao, who was too lazy to get up.

Xiao Sui was very careful and meticulous, and did not say a word into the microphone from beginning to end. She knew that even if she and Gu Biao were in a "talking partner" relationship, she should not appear at his residence late at night.

She herself has a free and easy temper that dares to love and hate, and she can only care about the people she cares about, but her husband is doing big things, and she must not damage his reputation even a little.

"Hey?" Gu Biao let out a sigh.

On the other end of the line, it was an English voice: "Boss, Mrs. Kelly, and James, all want to ask me about your specific contact information in China, and I have given them them." If they are afraid that they will come to you for any emergency, let you know in advance. ”

Gu Biao recognized it in a daze, and reacted to Schulhoff's voice, and immediately forced his brain into a state of serious operation.

Before leaving the United States, Gu Biao took care of the other party's various permissions. If a wealthy politician on the American side wanted to contact him, he allowed Schulhoff to give the number to the other party, so the other party did nothing wrong in this matter.

Because of the time difference, it is now the time to go to work in the morning, so Schulhoff's phone call disturbed Gu Biao in the middle of the night.

"What's wrong? You mean Princess Kelly asked for my number, and what would they want to do?"

THE QUEEN HE USED IN HIS WORDS WAS A MONOPHONIC WORD.

When reading with people's names, it is difficult for Xiao Sui, who is not very good at English next to him, to react.

Xiao Sui thought that someone's name was Queen-Kelly.

"I don't know, but it's possible that it has something to do with the success of "The Terminator" in Europe, as far as I know, you should have a relationship with James and his gang mainly in the filming of "The Terminator......" Schulhoff didn't want to inquire about Gu Fu's other businesses, so he tried to play a teleprompter in a speculative tone.

"Okay, I got it. Gu Biao took care of a few more words of business, then hung up the phone, and quickly analyzed a wave in his mind.

"Is there any trouble in business?" Xiao Sui asked with concern.

"Brew me a cup of strong coffee. Gu Biao commanded expressionlessly.

This is a sign that he has entered a state of flow, as long as he concentrates, even if it is a woman who truly loves him, he is expressionless.

"Okay right away. "Xiao Sui is used to it, so he doesn't mind. She quickly put on her underwear, and then went to make coffee, and after stirring it, she put the porcelain cup in a basin of cold water and stirred it so that Gu Biao could drink it immediately, which was very familiar.

Coffee is bought in foreign exchange stores and is only available in Nestle, and now it is the only one in China. Xiao Sui often writes at night, first using coffee to concentrate, and after washing, he is exhausted and can't sleep, and then uses a little tranquilizer.

It's actually very unhealthy, but she's trying to reduce her dependence little by little.

After Gu Biao took a few sips of coffee, his thoughts gradually smoothed out.

"Americans have a three-semester system, and our Franco-German system is a two-semester system. But regardless of the education system, September is the beginning of the school season. Tiffany studied in France, and now it should be summer vacation......

Wouldn't she want to come out to find me crazy and find something new and exciting because she saw "Terminator" a box office hit in France and her ability was sincerely recognized by her classmates and teachers? Otherwise, what is the use of them asking for my contact information in China? However, coming to China, even if it is an incognito tour, it looks very unreliable, and it will not alarm the relevant departments. ”

Gu Biao can still understand this possibility.

A little girl in the rebellious period, who proved herself for the first time, is indeed very fond of sharing and showing off with others everywhere.

If you can't understand this, look at the 15-year-old post-00s female junior high school students in later generations, and the uncles and old aunts of the post-90s, you can recall your QQ space back then.

Human nature is universally constant, only the technological environment has changed. Back in the 80s, there were no fewer rebellious girls who wanted to share their circle of friends like crazy, but most of them didn't have money and no media outlets, so they couldn't do it.

But if you're a princess, your dad can save hundreds of millions of dollars a year from gambling, and so can you.
