376. Respect
The Embassy in France is located at 11 Avenue George V in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, in the heart of Paris, not far from the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysées, the Seine, the Eiffel Tower and other iconic tourist attractions in Paris, and it is also very convenient to go to the French presidential palace, the prime minister's office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other important government departments.
The functions of the embassy in France are many, such as promoting political, military and cultural cooperation between China and France, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens in France, issuing or renewing passports to Chinese citizens, etc., and another role is to pinch the feelings of Chinese in France, resolve contradictions, and increase national cohesion.
The invitation letter sent by Gui Yuehua had Ambassador Huang Xiuchuan's autograph on it, and Xiong Baizhou could not pretend not to see it, although the company under his name had no export business for the time being.
After 6 o'clock in the evening, the main entrance of the embassy was already open, and guests in formal clothes kept walking in with a smile, Xiong Baizhou was also in this group of people, he wanted to be as low-key as possible, but Guo Zijing's existence made him lose this condition.
Guo Zijing belongs to the eye-catching kind both in terms of family background and her own conditions, especially tonight she changed into a white dress, her arms with white gauze gloves gently held Xiong Baizhou, her slender waist made the curves of her chest and hips more and more attractive, and the placket of the dress was decorated with bright silver patches, which were bright and moving, which made her the focus from the beginning of getting out of the car.
"Who is the man next to Guo Zijing?"
"I don't think I'm an international student. ”
"I look young, but I laugh a little bit like my dad. ”
······
Many international students in France have also been invited because of their family relationships, and they are very surprised to see Xiong Baizhou and Guo Zijing coming together, because the second princess of the Guo family with a prominent family background has basically never had an affair, and some people even suspected her sexual orientation.
In addition to being surprised, Xiong Baizhou's appearance did not alleviate their doubts, because in France, holding hands is just a normal social behavior, and speculation about Xiong Baizhou's identity is pouring in.
Here Zhao Yeming is more well-known than Xiong Baizhou, he is a famous red second generation in China, many elders in the family are still in important positions, many international students are born in the cadre families in the capital, they have gathered around Zhao Yeming, hoping to leave a little impression.
Of course, Xiong Baizhou is not without "acquaintances", Wan Xuefeng is inside, but he will definitely not pay attention to Xiong Baizhou, so only Lei Guohui stood at the door with a smile on his face to greet him.
"Big guy bear, what a coincidence, we met again. ”
Xiong Baizhou looked at Lei Guohui in a suit and leather shoes, although he still shook hands enthusiastically and vigorously, he wondered in his heart how Lei Guohui could be invited.
Lei Guohui actually didn't expect Xiong Baizhou to greet him, the two still have a little intersection space in the underground world, but this kind of status on the surface is much worse, but Xiong Baizhou still responded so unrelentingly, Lei Guohui felt a sense of respect in his heart.
"Big guy bear, those people look down on my work, only you look down on me. Lei Guohui couldn't help but say.
"Where does Lei always make his fortune?" asked Xiong Baizhou.
Xiong Baizhou asked about the bleaching business that covered Lei Guohui's identity in the Hong Kong underworld.
"I opened a hotel with the support of the prefix. Lei Guohui replied.
"This is an ordinary business, what right do they have to look down on you?"
Xiong Baizhou is very supportive of the re-employment of idle social personnel, and Sihai Group has recruited a large number of such young people, and Xiong Baizhou is doing his best to guide them to engage in legitimate and principled business.
Lei Guohui touched his head a little embarrassed: "By the way, by the way, I still do some other business in the hotel." ”
"Oh. Xiong Baizhou nodded, and instantly understood.
What else can be done in a hotel is the red light district, but brothels are legal in France.
"That's okay, the French devils like these tunes, but remember not to force others, but also to dissuade our country's female compatriots from going astray. ”
Xiong Baizhou was about to leave Lei Guohui after speaking, he didn't wear colored glasses, but he still had to pay a little attention to social rules in public, after all, he received more attention.
Lei Guohui also knew that Xiong Baizhou was willing to stop and say a few words with him, which was already very face-saving, especially Guo Zijing was still standing by the side and waiting, and he said very interestingly: "That doesn't delay Boss Xiong, although I am not a good person, I must be a Chinese." ”
Xiong Baizhou smiled, Ambassador Huang Xiuchuan is obviously a leader with strong control, and Lei Guohui has been able to eat steadily until now, which shows that doing things is still within the bottom line.
Huang Xiuchuan and Gan Zhirong are very recognizable, they are standing at the door of the hall with wine glasses and chatting with a few businessmen, Xiong Baizhou looked up at them, they also smiled and paid attention to Xiong Baizhou.
There are many guests entering and leaving the embassy gate, and the armed police soldiers standing guard will salute and respond, but these "people" who think that they have more social resources than ordinary people feel that this is a very normal behavior, and a small armed police soldier is not worthy of attention.
Only Xiong Baizhou, and only Xiong Baizhou, when the young armed police soldier raised his hand to salute, Xiong Baizhou also held his head high, straightened his back, walked slowly through the door with a serious face, and said "thank you" softly in his mouth.
After walking through the gate where the armed police were on duty, Xiong Baizhou quietly relaxed his shoulders and neck, and his face was full of smiles again.
This is a very subtle action, unless the people who have been paying attention to Xiong Baizhou and Guo Zijing around him can find out.
"What happened to you just now?" Guo Zijing asked quietly.
"I'm returning the favor. Xiong Baizhou said gently.
"But you didn't even raise your hand. ”
"That's because I don't want to stand out too much, because no one else is saluting. ”
"But who can see that way?" Guo Zijing was curious.
"Whoever should see will see. Xiong Baizhou said lightly.
Who are the "people who should be seen", Ambassador Huang Xiuchuan saw it, Counselor Gan Zhirong saw it, Secretary Gui Yuehua saw it, and the young armed police soldier who saluted.
He was in his early twenties, and he might still be in college in the future, but now he stood at the door guarding the gate.
This is the Chinese Embassy in France, his firm eyes are a symbol of strength, and the steel gun in his hand is the embodiment of dignity, just to protect the dignity of that 5,000-year-old country.
So Xiong Baizhou treated him with respect, and he felt it.
His swarthy face didn't change much, but his lips trembled slightly, and he still saluted every guest who came and went.
Huang Xiuchuan was silent for a while not far away, and suddenly said to Gan Zhirong: "We add one to the system, and everyone who passes through the sentry post in the future must say thank you." ”
"Yes!"
