After listening to Gu Ao's final statement, Director Bao's eyes became completely eager.

Since accepting Gu Biao as an intern under him, this is the second time that I have this kind of feeling of enthusiasm and feeling that the credit is only in front of me.

Director Bao simply felt that this little brother must be firmly encircled, and it is simply his own promotion ladder.

In Gu Wei's mind, the advanced knowledge and experience of dealing with the world of capital attention are too rich.

Director Bao decided to take another gamble for his career.

"Okay, the director himself is in Guangdong today, and the American business delegation hasn't left yet. He originally asked me to take care of the house in the bureau and help Deputy Director Wei handle the daily work of the bureau together.

I'm going to ask Deputy Director Wei for instructions...... No, let's just ask the director for instructions from the next level! Tell him about the consideration of the situation at the front! If he thinks it is feasible, I will take you to Guangdong to help push the negotiations forward a little more. ”

Although the Canton Fair in previous years is also important, it is still held every year after all.

Therefore, it is impossible to let the top leaders of the foreign affairs bureaus of various industrial departments personally go to Guangdong to preside over the foreign trade work of relevant enterprises.

But this year, the situation is different, it is the first year after opening up, and it has just established diplomatic relations with the United States and fought Vietnam. Therefore, export cooperation with the West has been raised to a very high political level.

The directors of the foreign affairs bureaus of various ministries personally went into battle to meet with multinational giants face-to-face, and even made decisions on the spot on some additional preferential conditions that the minions in previous years did not have the authority to make, which also became a scene in the Guangdong venue.

This is the only one in decades, and next year will not be so high.

It is a taboo in officialdom to ask for instructions from a higher level, but Director Bao feels that his decision is also reasonable: first of all, Deputy Director Wei, who stayed behind, is neither executive deputy nor usually cares about specific business work. Secondly, there is nothing wrong with the haste of the matter, and there is nothing wrong with admonishing the director directly.

As long as the results are good, what is there to be afraid of?

This is also for the national interest!

However, in the face of Director Bao's enthusiasm, Gu Biao calmed down a little: "If you call the director directly, how can you prepare your speech? Just rely on my few words just now? Don't you need to prepare a detailed plan?"

After hearing this, Director Bao calmed down a little: "What do you think?"

Gu Biao shrugged helplessly: "If you really decide so, at least give me an hour or two, and I'll give you an outline first." If in the end the above agrees according to this outline. You have to take me to Yuezhou, and I'll catch it on the plane. ”

When he said this, Gu Biao was very confident.

In his previous life, he was involved in technical bidding and even negotiations.

It was his first job in his previous life, just after graduation, and because he was still enthusiastic at that time, he always wanted to learn more, and he didn't even know that he was being exploited for cheap labor.

Other old fritters in the company pay more attention to clarifying their job responsibilities, lest "after doing some things once, the boss will feel that it should be done by your position", and they can hide.

Although the bidding technical standard should have been participated by engineers, then those engineering men would rather wait for female colleagues in business to ask them parameters and answer questions over and over again, rather than typing even a word in person.

The final result was that Gu Biao, a fierce man who was willing to do anything, was forced to resign after only two years - the boss felt that he should be taken for granted to do more and more things, and in the end he was too overworked to hold on.

However, Gu Biao also learned a lot of skills that can only be learned in start-up companies, and in his second job, he became a supervisor after going to Alipay to become a regular with his excellent performance as a "comprehensive talent".

Although he is still very professional today, he is at least more professional than other colleagues who have never been exposed to the market economy model.

Who else is me?

When Director Bao heard him say so calmly, he suddenly became confident.

"Okay, it's three o'clock, I'll call the director at five o'clock, and you can give me an outline immediately. As long as it is done, the benefits will not be less yours, and your personal commission will not be said according to the proportion of the last time, there will be others!"

Gu Biao didn't talk nonsense, and after borrowing a mechanical typewriter from the duty office with Director Bao, he threw himself into the turbulent battle.

Of course, it is to type English directly, because small mechanical typewriters do not have input methods, so they cannot type Chinese characters. Fortunately, people in the foreign affairs system are used to everyone reading English.

Director Bao was on the side, watching Gu Biao use the mechanical typewriter smoothly, and couldn't help but admire. If you let him know that after changing the computer keyboard in the future, Gu Biao will only be more comfortable, I wonder if he will go crazy.

However, after only sitting for a while, Director Bao could not be idle.

He was very busy, and he didn't care whether he would interrupt Gu Wei's train of thought, and talked to him about other follow-up arrangements:

"You kid is really able to come here, I just wanted to report to you today, and then let you rest assured that you can prepare for going to Iraq next month. I didn't expect you to find yourself such a big extra job!"

"What is there to prepare for going to Iraq?" Gu Biao was thinking in his head, and at the same time he was making a planning outline, and he still had to speak in his mouth.

Director Bao replied casually: "Actually, you don't need to prepare anything else, just let you run in with your new colleagues - the ministry has never cooperated with Middle Eastern countries in business and trade, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau does not have a single Arabic business translator who can handle it."

In the end, I still found Miss Han and asked her to recommend one to me temporarily. Originally, I thought you would be a sophomore at most, and I didn't have much hope, but who knew that she lived up to her expectations in the end and really poached a talent for me. ”

Gu Biao almost made a mistake in a word, and only after he fixed his mind did he ask, "Who is it?"

Director Bao: "It's a little comrade from Xinjiang, born with Turkish, it is said that before going to college, there is a little basic knowledge of Persian and Arabic, and you can use it after a year of study - it can be regarded as your junior sister, you can get acquainted with it in a while." If she doesn't understand the technical vocabulary, you need to explain it clearly in Chinese and English with her first, so that she can translate it into Arabic in advance. ”

"Okay, I can't delay. ”

……

Two hours later, Director Bao took Gu Biao's outline, went to find a long-distance phone, and reported to the director of the bureau to make a phone porridge.

He gave Gu Biao half an hour of free time to talk to other friends, or say goodbye, and get ready to go.

As long as the director approves it, even if he asks the Air Force to apply for a small plane, he will have to leave tonight.

There were not as many civil aviation in the 70s as in later generations, but the military's outdated aircraft were definitely more allocated. And because there are not many civil aviation, there is almost no air traffic control, and there is no need to worry about hitting other planes in the sky when applying for temporary applications.

At the same time, those old propeller bombers in stock, to be honest, are not much different from civil aircraft, and ordinary people can stand it.

It is nothing more than that the passengers are cramped and uncomfortable sitting in the bomb bay.

Gu Wei packed up two clothes a little, and then went to meet with Ye Kun and the others in the music classroom that he had made an appointment with.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Biao saw Ye Kun, Xu Mengrou, Ren Yuqin, and two more.

One was Han Ting, who arrived later than Director Bao, who was supposed to explain how he cooperated with his new classmates.

The other is a girl who has seen two eyes but is not very familiar, Gu Biao remembers that she is a first-level student who is higher than him.

It's a white man, and it's supposed to be the translator who will go to Iraq next month.

Gu Biao hurriedly greeted Han Ting first: "Teacher Han, Director Bao told me everything." I will not disappoint your expectations. ”

Han Ting gently pushed the white girl's shoulder, and took care of the girl seriously:

"Are you familiar with this student? She is a student of the Afro-Asian language department of the 78th grade, Madilina Isminaya. Don't look at her, she has only been studying for a year, but since she was a child, she has learned several Central Asian languages, Arabic, Turkish, and Persian.

I will send her to you this time and take her to such a dangerous country, Nicole must take care of it! I can't miss any of the students who jumped out! If she has something to do, I just ask!"

Gu Biao: "Yes, Mr. Han, you must complete the task safely." ”

Out of the courtesy of an elder, Han Ting gently hugged Gu Biao and said earnestly: "It's to complete the task safely." Everyone in the Middle East is not familiar with them, but they only know that the military people are doing things all day long. Not only do you have to protect your schoolgirls, but you also have to be careful yourself, except for business-to-business negotiations, don't mess around anywhere!"

After Gu Biao finished dealing with Han Ting, he saw the white girl bowing slightly to him: "Hello Senior Gu, you can just call me Ishminaya." ”

It was also at this time that Gu Biao really carefully observed the appearance of this girl, and I have to say that it really made him a little surprised.

Han Ting on the side saw the surprise in his eyes, and gently pushed him playfully: "What's the matter? When Lao Bao asked me for someone, I didn't want to let it go. The shameless man actually said: There is no girl in the whole foreign affairs system who is more beautiful and can speak Arabic than Minaya.

Hmph, when I don't know what he has in mind. It's not like I wanted to shoot the prettiest girl to please the Soviets like I did in the 60s with Soviet experts - I don't allow her to have anything to do anyway, understand? You kid is so mature, don't tell me you don't understand. ”

Only then did Gu Biao know what Han Ting was worried about.

Based on his own understanding of Iraq's national conditions, he carefully analyzed: "So to speak...... It's really inappropriate. Mr. Han, on the Iraqi side, women still cover their faces. I think that even if Isminaya-san has to accompany her, she has to dress more conservatively, so she might as well hide her appearance......"

"Senior Gu, it doesn't matter, I will definitely pay attention to keeping a low profile!" Ishminaya also thought that Gu Biao was going to persuade Han Ting to change to a man who knew Arabic, and she was afraid of losing this opportunity, so she hurriedly promised Gu Biao a guarantee.

"Forget it, I'll talk about it when I get back. Gu Biao didn't have that much time to entangle with Isminayado, so he interrupted the topic.

Then he turned to Ye Su and the three of them.

"I'm sorry, I may have to miss the appointment, I can't eat slowly with you for dinner, I may have to leave soon. ”

Xu Mengrou and Ren Yuqin have been playing soy sauce next to them with low self-esteem, and they outsiders can't say a word about the topic just now. At this moment, I heard that Gu Biao had another task temporarily, and I couldn't help but be in awe.

"Is it a state secret? I won't ask about state secrets!" The two obediently retreated into advance.

However, this battle is obviously to say, "If it is not a state secret, if you still refuse to say it, then you are not enough friends." ”

Gu Biao couldn't help laughing: "Release, the itinerary itself is not a state secret, the content of the negotiation is counted - there are a few people from the US Department of Energy who are participating in the Canton Fair, and there is a big list to accompany Director Bao to go down." ”

Xu Mengrou can only be in awe: the United States!
