Han Ting sighed slightly, and calmly explained to the remaining candidates:

"Actually, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not want to put the committee training class in the second foreign country in Beijing. I hope that you will not be confused by the school's signboard and doubt the school's strength.

Every word I say today is evidenced by a central document. After you sign the confidentiality pledge, I can show it to you. ”

After that, Han Ting took out a few photocopies of the red-headed document and let the candidates circulate it.

Gu Biao also read it, and after a few minutes, everyone roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

This special recruitment, which was approved in advance, was originally a requirement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Since the 50s, there was originally a professional training school under the direct management of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China, called the Foreign Affairs Academy.

However, due to the indescribable devastation of ten years, the Foreign Affairs University was abolished, and the country's professional foreign affairs personnel were seriously cut off.

Moreover, the diplomats trained by the state before the Holocaust had no experience in dealing with mainstream Western capital-sensitive countries - before the establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States in '72, domestic diplomats were dealing with the social attention camp, or at most with the neutral French and even other non-aligned forces.

Now that the country wants to change its strategy, carry out economic and technological exchanges with the West, and establish normal trade relations, it will find that there is no one available at all. Even some diplomats who have been working for many years are a little inadequate.

In July this year, when the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs heard that the National Education Work Conference was being held, they wrote to Deng Gong to request the resumption of the school.

Deng Gong was not good at personally managing things, so he replied, "Please consider Comrade **." (**At that time, he was in charge of the work of the National WU Academy).

The time of payment of the instructions was November 4 last year.

In January this year, that is, two days ago, the National Institute of WU officially issued a decision: to restore the Foreign Affairs Academy

But it will certainly not be possible to reorganize a school that has been completely abandoned in a year or two.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also wants to immediately select and train personnel from among the outstanding candidates who have resumed the college entrance examination as soon as possible, and after a compromise, there is a commission training class under the name of Beijing No. 2 Foreign University, and the 35 faculty members in charge of these commission training classes are actually seconded from the original team of the Foreign Affairs College, which was formerly a defunct school, so the quality of teaching is absolutely guaranteed.

Originally, if it was for the sake of a better reputation, even if it was under the name of Beiwai, it would not make the two candidates who quit just now so resistant.

It's a pity that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also has the difficulties of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Beijing Foreign University is a university directly under the Ministry of Education, and it is not under the control of foreign affairs. Only the second foreign country in the north is subordinate to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it can be grafted as much as it wants.

After all the candidates understood the twists and turns, their resistance and skepticism relaxed a little.

Although the school signboard seems to be spicy chicken, the yamen behind it is still good.

And according to the enrollment regulations, the competition seems to be very fierce: nationwide, only 4 classes are admitted, and they are small classes of 15 people, and the ratio of 9 men and 6 women in each class is strictly followed. Most provinces, regardless of population, have 2 quotas.

In the 21st century, the annual college entrance examination score of the Foreign Affairs University will certainly be at least 30 points lower than that of Tsinghua University and Peking University. But this is absolutely not representative of the strength of the Foreign Affairs Academy in the 80s - because since the 90s, the Foreign Affairs Academy has no longer been allotted, so the scores are not valuable.

In the 80s, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was "included", it is no exaggeration to say that the admission score of the Foreign Affairs University was much higher than that of Tsinghua University and Peking University. It's just that the whole school only recruits 60 people a year, which is too small (each province generally only recruits 1 boy, 1 woman, or 2 men per year), so the public doesn't pay much attention to the existence of this university.

(In later generations, even at the beginning of the 21st century, there were several "XX Customs Colleges", which were said to be the fourth batch, junior colleges, but the score line could be higher than that of Zhejiang University, only forty or fifty points lower than that of Qingbei.) It relies on "100% package distribution to customs". ）

Seeing that the morale was available, Han Ting continued to throw the bait: "So, don't worry about the future. You are only temporarily borrowing the signboard of Bei No. 2 Foreign Language University before the official resumption of the Foreign Affairs University. The teachers during your time at the university were also transferred from the former Foreign Affairs University.

As long as you do not make mistakes and are not punished during your studies, you will be 100% assigned to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. With the current talent vacancies in the ministry, it can be expected that they can be stationed in foreign embassies and consulates just after graduation, and they can be expected to be two secretaries a year, one secretary and one secretary for two years.

Even if the state has different needs for you, the worst recipient is the relevant ministries and commissions of foreign trade and economic cooperation, or the import and export corporations directly under the central government. ”

After saying this, everyone's eyes turned red.

Except for Gu Biao.

"Wow! 100% of the graduates entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"How big are the secretaries and counselors of the embassy?

"I don't know, I think it's pretty good anyway, and I can deal with foreigners every day. ”

"I heard that the capital attention country is already much more developed than us, and I really want to see it. ”

A group of people whispered, and of course the last sentence was very light and did not dare to be heard.

Han Ting was very satisfied with this effect.

"Now, please go to the next door for interviews one by one, in order. ”

……

Halfway through the interview, Gu Biao hasn't been called yet.

But his heart was already calculating.

He is still quite inclined to ask for a more awesome university signboard, and the name of Beijing Erwai is of course quite embarrassing compared to the top famous schools, and he may have to be with him for a lifetime.

Moreover, the so-called package distribution to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may be very attractive to others, but it is of little use to Gu Biao.

He didn't want to be an official.

Relying on the steady line of civil servants who cannot give full play to their subjective initiative, how can they be big guys.

For the traverser, whether it is business, scientific research, or media arts, it is a shortcut to development that is much faster than becoming an official.

"If when I graduated in '81, the state still didn't allow college students to choose their own careers, and I had to be stuffed into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the degree of isolation of the system at that time, I wouldn't even be able to resign, right?

If you want to do business, you are bound to make mistakes. Unless you're looking for white gloves...... Do you really want to expect Ma Feng to help me run errands first, after all, it is a violation of discipline...... If you really become an official, you must be strict with yourself, and how can you make money!

Let's just ask, when the time comes, if you want to go to foreign trade and economic cooperation or major import and export companies, you can't be sure. As long as you are not in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is more convenient to resign from public office after a year and a half. At most, no one will accept my file, and it will be good to lose my 'national cadre status' for the rest of my life.

Going to the Diplomatic Academy, it is definitely good in terms of getting to know people"

Even in the 2010s, there were still some college students who were worried that their files would not be hanging: would they lose their status as national cadres? Will they not be able to accumulate notarized years of experience and affect the evaluation of intermediate and senior professional titles?

However, Gu Biao never had this string in his mind.

In his last life, he worked as a coder in Alipay. Anyone who plans to mix with private enterprises for the rest of his life does not care about the so-called status of national cadres and national titles.

It's just clouds.

If Han Ting knew that Gu Biao was actually fighting in his mind when he was preparing for the exam, he didn't know if he would be angry to death.

After a while, it was finally Gu Ao's turn.

He walked into the office next door and sat upright.

Han Ting looked him up and down, and the first impression was very good.

Gu Biao's temperament is very calm and generous, at least much more mature than other college entrance examination candidates. And he is tall, more than 1.75 meters tall, and he is also dressed decently.

The face is also quite handsome.

And it's not the kind of little fresh meat sissy handsome, but handsome, which is very imposing at first glance.

Some people may think: it! The interview approved in advance of the college entrance examination actually depends on whether the person is handsome or not? Isn't this cheating?

But don't really say it, since 100% of the talents needed by the Foreign Affairs Academy will enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future, it is really not wrong to pick a face - this kind of person will represent the national character in the future, and if he looks crooked, won't he lose China's face in front of foreigners?

So even if Han Ting admitted Gu Biao because he was handsome, this truth was justified.

Perhaps because the first impression was good and the perfectionist mentality was a little attacked, Han Ting came up and asked directly in English, without a single opening sentence in Chinese.

"Student Gu, I have read your English score in the college entrance examination this time, and it is 98 points, which is very good. And judging from your resume, it seems that you only finished junior high school and then went to the countryside, how did you learn a foreign language?"

This is the first time Gu Biao has heard of his English scores, and it is said that Han Ting's question is a bit illegal and leaked.

But it doesn't matter.

Gu Biao had thought that the other party would question the source of his ability, so he had already prepared the answer.

"I grew up going to the city library, where I often soaked and read everything I could find, including in foreign languages. My family was okay, so my father bought me a tape recorder and tapes. ”

Gu Biao didn't dare to find an excuse to die like "listening to the BBC and learning the London dialect by himself", which was still "eavesdropping on enemy Taiwan" at that time.

"Why is the speaking so good? I think I am one of the best among all the candidates today. Han Ting only listened to a few words from Gu Biao, and her evaluation of him was raised by another level.

The college entrance examination candidates in 77, even if they studied English hard and got good results in the papers, most of them were dumb English.

The main reason is that the material conditions are too backward, there is no recording equipment, and whether the pronunciation is standard or not is not transmitted and corrected through paper books. Especially in provinces with heavy dialect accents, almost no one can be heard.

This year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dispatched five enrollment working groups, and Han Ting's group is responsible for 12 places in five provinces and one city in East China. Before coming to Luzhou, she had only seen in big cities such as Jinling and Hujiang with a pronunciation comparable to Gu Ao.

Who made Gu Biao sharpened by more than ten years of American dramas in later generations, and even British dramas like "Downton Abbey" have not been watched.

She sorted out her thoughts for a moment and continued to unfold as if chatting: "Judging from the archives, your mother has overseas connections?"

Gu Biao replied expressionlessly: "I heard that my grandfather was an old military officer and fled to Wanwan back then, but my mother had already drawn a line with him before she died - when he fled, my mother was only 15 years old, and I had never seen them since I was born, so I didn't know anything about them." If you feel that this will affect my studies or future work, I don't want to defend myself. ”

"But we know that we have a thorough investigation of every candidate. Han Ting interrupted,

"I'll tell you now, your grandfather has passed away, but your uncle is still alive, a junior officer, and he was promoted for some reason after the Yangmingshan car accident in 69. Do you think this will affect your future work? Say whatever comes to mind, don't be nervous. ”

"Since he is not a dignitary on the other side, I don't think there is anything to worry about - he should be worried about whether he will be fired if the authorities on the other side of the strait find out that his nephew has entered the foreign ministry here. But since my mother died because of them, I don't feel guilty about what happened to him in the future. ”

Gu Biao's answer was very dick, and there was an unquestionable confidence.

On the other hand, it was also because he was asked questions that made him unhappy, and it didn't matter.

Anyway, if you can't choose it, you can still go to Tsinghua University.

"This kid is Encetristine......" Han Ting couldn't help but be moved by Gu Ao's recklessness, and felt that diplomats should have such a domineering bearing.

And judging from other survey data, the child's paternal side has always been very motivated, and he himself has contributed to a major project......

"Now, can you talk about your role in the technical research of the helium generator of the Qiantang Oxygen Concentrator Factory?" Han Ting asked this question in English. However, because it began to involve a large number of technical words, even she, the examiner, stumbled a little.

After all, diplomats don't need to know technical English, and those proper nouns are smelly, long, complicated, and even newly coined in recent years.

And Gu Biao's answer is still so fluent, it seems that technical English is what he is better at.

This also made the interview more intense.

In the end, Han Ting also asked a few less important questions, such as whether Gu Biao knew other foreign languages or something. Gu Biao also answered them one by one.

"Then you go back to the guest house first, we won't delay everyone filling in the volunteers, come to hear the results at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
