After Xu Xuan did all the preparatory work before the shooting, he saw that the time was only nine o'clock, but he couldn't wait, so he took the photographer and Xiao Sui and others, and went to the Bund 16 Pu Wharf to wait.

There were already quite a few people around there. Outside, there are security guards who maintain order, so that ordinary people are not allowed to watch, and they are separated by 100 meters, and they must verify their documents and identities before entering.

As soon as Xu Wei and the others stepped on the dock, they saw a group of peers or semi-peers already there.

"Yo, isn't this Director Xu, come so early, waiting for the leaders to get on the boat. ”

"Aren't you the same with each other, President Wang. ”

Xu Xuan greeted the leaders of the Xinhua Hujiang branch for a while.

At this time, there was another cadre from the literary propaganda outlet on the side, and when he saw Xiao Sui following behind Xu Xuan, he hurriedly walked over and shook hands enthusiastically:

"Yo, Suizi, I'm too busy with you to go back to Hujiang, you were in Xiangjiang for the first half of the year. I knew you were coming back, so I would have reported it for you. ”

"Zhang Zhuxi is too polite, I just happened to come back from a little bit of trouble to see the elders in the family. Xiao Sui responded politely.

It turned out that the person who talked to her was the leader of the city's Writers' Association.

After chatting a few words, President Wang noticed something abnormal.

Xu Xuan usually doesn't wear suits, and only on important occasions will he wear his set of Jinli bought by Xiangjiang.

But as long as it is an important occasion to wear Jinlilai, Xu Wei has always buttoned the suit and dressed it very decently. There has never been a time when the shirt was buttoned up and tucked into the belt of the trousers along with the tie, but the coat was there.

The blazer is unbuttoned, according to the aesthetics of later generations, of course, it is more free and easy than the rigid button-up, but it does not conform to the social habits of 86 years.

The Chinese in 86, the aesthetic of wearing suits in the eyes of people decades later, all of them look like the style of township entrepreneurs.

After President Wang and Zhang Zhuxi glanced at it a few times, they immediately noticed that on Xu Xuan's Jinlilai belt, there was a slender leather pocket pinned to the front of the left waist, which did not look like a waist bag for money.

I don't know what it does, but there is a mysterious atmosphere when I look at it.

Everyone is in the circle, and they know at a glance that Xu Xuan's dressing style today is to highlight this unknown new gadget, otherwise how could he leave the suit so open.

However, President Wang and Zhang Zhuxi didn't want to look like they didn't know and didn't recognize it, so they held back and didn't ask.

Xu Xuan enthusiastically paced back and forth, meddling with things several times, and when he turned around, he moved very quickly, throwing the hem of his suit higher than the belt of his pants, lest others not be able to see clearly what he was carrying on his waist in 360 degrees.

Fortunately, there is always no shortage of unexpected needs on the scene of receiving foreign dignitaries, so he quickly seized an opportunity.

Just after half past nine, a middle-level cadre in charge of foreign affairs reception in a certain office in the city ran over in a hurry, turned around in the pile of people who provided supporting services in Xu Xuan, and asked casually: "Have you seen Lao Zhao of the art troupe? ”

Xiao Sui raised his eyes and saw that he also recognized this person. Because this person is under Bao Chengcheng, and Bao Chengcheng is also Gu Chengcheng's old friend, so several of his backbone subordinates, Xiao Sui also know each other.

Xu Xuan was very positive: "Director Yao, what's wrong? If you are in a hurry to contact Lao Zhao, use my phone." I remember his number, I'll dial it for you. ”

The one who was called Director Yao was not polite, seeing that Xu Xuan took the initiative to dial the number, yelled directly at the microphone, and after explaining the matter clearly, he hung up, and then talked to Xu Xuan and his gang.

"Hey, those Bretanians are really careful, we have received so many foreign guests, and I have never heard of the piano used for banquets to be tuned again before the meeting. He also said that the piano we provided here was too bad, and the tuner they brought had never seen such a bad one, so he wouldn't make it. How unreasonable!"

Xu Xuan suddenly showed an expression of hatred and hatred, and echoed: "Hey, those Bretanians are so picky, why don't they bring their own pianos, isn't it the kind we usually see people playing the piano during Western banquets, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf." ”

Xiao Sui coughed lightly beside him and reminded: "Uncle Xu, the piano has to be retuned after it has been moved, I guess it is because of this that I can't use the same instruments as other bands, so I have to borrow them locally after arriving in Hong Kong." ”

has a specialization in the art industry, Xu Xuan is engaged in movies, and he doesn't know much about musical instruments, so he doesn't speak.

However, Director Yao, who was in charge of the reception preparations in the city, listened to it and echoed continuously: "This is Writer Xiao, he is very knowledgeable." That's what the Bretanians said, and we borrowed the best piano from the art troupe to them a day in advance, but they still didn't like it, and said that our people were responsible for the tune.

That's not all, the point is that they say that the boat is too small, and the yacht will be bumped by the wind and waves of the river when it is parked there, so it is a lot of work to fine-tune it again before the show. I've known Lao Zhao of the Art Troupe for many years, and I've never heard of their performances being so exquisite. By the way, Writer Xiao, how do you know so much, in the end, you are a scholarly family, remember that you are also from the art troupe. ”

Xiao Sui is very low-key: "I'm ashamed, I've also learned to play and regulate my emotions when I've been idle for the past few years." Director Yao, if you said that you need a piano, why be polite to me, I also put a triangle imported from Austria in my house. ”

Everyone was silent for a few seconds.

Hehe, the triangle imported from Austria.

This is called passive pretending, never showing off.

This kind of words without friends is really difficult to answer, Director Yao can only stop, and then he recalls that he just took Xu Wei's big brother to call someone, and the mobile phone is still in his hand and has not been returned to Xu Wei.

He stretched out his hand a little embarrassed and returned the big brother to Xu Xu, and with a sincere envy: "Director Xu, this is the big brother who just started selling today, right?"

I heard that the people in the square are far away, but I didn't expect you to be fast, so I went to grab one early in the morning. Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I will go to find a phone call to notify me, and when Lao Zhao replies, I don't know how many things will be delayed. ”

When Director Yao said this, President Wang Zhang Zhuxi and others next to him had just recovered from the shock, and the nerve reflex arc sighed for a long time:

"That's Big Brother...... Director Yao, what you said just now is bad, it's not a matter of being free or not, the key is that the unit has money, this thing is tens of thousands, if it weren't for Director Xu's good efficiency, last year's translation of "The Terminator" intercepted so many shares, how can other units afford it! I don't think Director Qin of Baosteel can't afford it. ”

Xu Xuan listened, although his heart was as comfortable as drinking iced sour plum soup, but he also felt a little embarrassed about sour plum soup, and he always felt that he was forced to not pretend all the way to the end, like a bone in his throat and not happy.

The rhythm of the good end was interrupted by Xiao Sui's questions and answers.

Sure enough, it is deliberately trying to show off, it is better to be quiet and indifferent.

Xiao Sui didn't want to show off that he was knowledgeable and rich, but he naturally snatched the hot spot with a word.

At that moment, Xu Xuan pretended to be modest: "I haven't understood that this specifically costs tens of thousands, it seems to be seventy or eighty thousand, alas, it is needed for work." ”

"Uncle Xu, this is roaming all over the country, 160,000. Xiao Sui explained casually.

Everyone present was so hung that they bit their tongues.

Turtle turtle, this is the money for three Santanas, or all the hidden costs are counted.

And listening to Xiao Sui's explanation, everyone reacted, this big brother must have been directly given away by Gu Biao.

"Lao Xu, you are still very affectionate, Boss Gu is generous, and he still thinks about you. ”

After thinking of this, Zhang Zhuxi, who was in the same unit as Xiao Sui, couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Xiao, why didn't you take the eldest brother with you?"

Xu Xuan has all the things, Xiao Sui must have them, don't ask about it.

"It's too heavy, and I don't want to carry it when I don't have a bodyguard. After all, those who are powerless cannot be compared with boys. I think Xiao Gu also asked the secretary to carry it. Xiao Sui said humbly and euphemistically.

It's too heavy......

Everyone felt suffocated.

If you give us one, let alone two or three catties, it is twenty or thirty catties, and you have to carry it out to show off!

The 100-pound rice brother can't carry it, and the 100-pound big brother will run away when he picks it up!

This kind of topic without friends is really impossible to talk about, so it is cold.

At this time, Lao Zhao of the art troupe came with a piano tuner, and Director Yao hurriedly made an excuse to get busy with business and walked away.

The banquet piano is only used for lunch for a while, and it is not needed for the opening speech and thank-you speech at 10:30, so there is still time. The staff took the tuner to the yacht, and while they were working inside, they were already talking.

……

Xiao Sui followed the speech of the Bretanians and the leaders of the city who came from the capital.

It was close to noon, and she also boarded the royal yacht with other media outlets.

The appreciation banquet is in the form of a buffet, that is, a kind of buffet cocktail party. Therefore, the number of people who could be entertained was relatively large, and there were two or three hundred people on board.

In 86 years in China, there are not many people who have eaten Western-style buffets, and this Western-style cocktail buffet is even rarer. So at the beginning, Xu Xuan, Zhang Zhuxi, President Wang and other people who traveled with Xiao Sui felt quite fresh.

But after eating for a while, other media people except Xiao Sui began to mumble in their hearts.

"It's sausages and sparkling wine? And a little fish cutlet to send people away? It's shabby. ”

This is not some kind of artistic processing and dirt, but the personal memories of those who have participated in the buffet in Hujiang in 86 years in history, and it is a historical fact.

No way, who made the Bretanians eat spicy chicken food by nature, their recipes are just a few things, even the state guest appreciation banquet is like this.

It's a pity that today's Xu Xuan and others still don't know the difference between Western food and Western food, and only think that all Western food is called Western food.

In contrast, Xiao Sui seemed very calm, and there was no sense of surprise.

Even when it was first eaten, although other people would eventually mutter that the dishes were shabby, at least the first three or five mouthfuls of sausages and fish cutlets were still quite fragrant, and they had to wait to confirm that there was really no change in the color of the new dishes before they began to complain.

And Xiao Sui was too lazy to touch it from the first sip, and always only served a glass of sparkling wine, which was very elegant.

At a glance, you can see that he is a character who often attends royal banquets.

She also kindly whispered to her companions, lest they be too surprised: "That's what the Bretanians eat, it's not surprising." The good food is French and Italian.

There's a joke in the West called the history of the Americans, the Breton recipe. ”

"And then?"

"No, that's the end of the joke. “6
