Chapter 174: The Return (Part II)
In the private room of the Quanjude main store at the front gate of Yanjing, Zhang Xun saw Wang Zheng's yearning face, and began to spare no effort to seduce.
"If Brother Wang is interested, he will participate tomorrow as a member of the Xiangjiang delegation, and like other foreign guests, he can climb the Tiananmen Tower with China's top leaders to watch the military parade, which is undoubtedly a great honor." ”
In his previous life, he had seen many military parades on TV, and every time he saw the country getting stronger and stronger on the screen, Wang Zheng was very excited and proud. But he always felt that Zhang Xun's words seemed to be deliberately seducing.
Wang Zheng pretended to be calm on his face, and said quietly: "Of course, it is a very glorious thing to be able to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the military parade with so many national leaders, but Boss Zhang should know that I am an ordinary citizen in Xiangjiang, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to rashly participate in the military parade in place of Xiangjiang." ”
Zhang Xun laughed when he heard this, and said: "Brother Wang, you think too much, there are more than 70 foreign representatives here in this military parade, except for the president of Cambodia and the president of Zambia, the rest of the representatives are officials or celebrities in their respective countries, and some are even just ordinary people.
After listening to Zhang Xun's explanation, Wang Zheng slowly relieved that foreign guests were just here to witness China's gradually powerful feast, just like a happy family event and neighbors came to visit the door to say goodbye, and it was not linked to political factors.
In order to completely reassure Wang Zheng, Zhang Xun continued: "The invitation to Brother Wang this time is not my temporary idea, but an invitation issued by the Ministry of Culture, our company's superior leader. The Ministry of Culture was very happy to know that Brother Wang agreed to cooperate with the co-production company to make a film, and as the host, he encountered a military parade that is rare once in ten years, so he sent an invitation to you, brother, and at the same time let the compatriots in Xiangjiang witness the national prestige of the motherland. ”
Wang Zheng nodded and said with a slight smile: "Since the leaders of the Ministry of Culture are so gracious, then I will postpone my trip for one day and go to the scene tomorrow to feel the national prestige of the motherland!"
Seeing that Wang Zheng finally agreed, Zhang Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief, this time he came to persuade Wang Zheng to participate in the military parade, he received an order from the Minister of Culture, otherwise he would not have spared no effort to persuade him.
The task has been completed, and Zhang Xun finally suggested: "If you come to Yanjing and don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and it is a pity not to eat Quanjude roast duck." Now that the roast duck has been eaten, let's let Xiaoqing take a few people to the Badaling Great Wall for a walk, how about a few of them?"
Before Wang Zheng and the others could answer, Liu Xiaoqing opened his mouth and echoed: "In addition to the Badaling Great Wall, the Forbidden City of the Forbidden City is also magnificent, Director Wang, I will be your guide today!"
Wang Zheng wanted to let Guan Zhilin, who had been on the train for more than 20 hours, have a good rest, but seeing her and Liangkun looking at him expectantly, he had to swallow the words of refusal and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xun had other things to deal with, and finally Liu Xiaoqing took Wang Zheng and the four of them to Badaling.
The Great Wall, the miracle building of mankind, is also the soul of China, like a giant dragon, standing in this oriental land. The first time he stepped on the Great Wall, stepping on the solid stone steps, Wang Zheng was both excited and emotional, excited because he finally set foot on the world-famous Great Wall, and at the same time, he also felt for the ancients who built the Great Wall with their lives.
This day was spent in the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, the next morning just after dawn, Wang Zheng was woken up by a knock on the door, opened the door to see, it turned out to be Zhang Xun in a suit and leather shoes came over.
Wang Zheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Boss Zhang, why is it so early, what time is it?"
Zhang Xun said with a smile: "It's almost five o'clock, and all the troops on the ground have been assembled, won't I take you to see the leader?" ”
Wang Zheng had never had the experience of getting up so early, but in order not to make the leader wait for a long time, he could only go to wash with Hatche, and when he finished washing, Guan Zhilin and the three of them were also called up by Liu Xiaoqing, who came with them, and they all looked listless.
"Brother Wang, you can bring a partner to visit Tiananmen Square this time. ”
After a few people finished washing, Zhang Xun, who had already seen the relationship between Wang Zheng and Guan Zhilin, suggested.
"No need, just follow Miss Liu. ”
The reason why Wang Zheng didn't take Guan Zhilin with him was because he didn't want her to be in danger, after all, Xiangjiang is still British territory, if she is photographed participating in the military parade in the mainland, I am afraid it will cause public opinion in Xiangjiang, but Wang Zheng doesn't care about this, anyway, it is not the first time to enter the Xiangjiang Police Station, it doesn't matter if you go again, anyway, there is Shao Tycoon.
Santara, who was sitting on Zhang Xun, came to the vicinity of Tiananmen Square, and on the long street of Dong'an, tanks, smoothbore guns, rocket artillery, self-propelled antiaircraft guns, command vehicles, and missile launchers were already neatly arranged, like a thunderbolt. The Tiananmen Tower and the square are decorated in a colorful and magnificent way. Early in the morning, the viewing platform and the square were already crowded.
Wang Zheng followed Zhang Xun to the Great Hall, found Minister of Culture Zhu Muzhi, and after a brief introduction, he was arranged into the foreign guest team, among the guests, in addition to the presidents of Cambodia and Zambia, there were also IOC President Samaranch and Vietnamese representatives, and the rest were either black or white, which made Wang Zheng, who was originally Chinese, a little unhappy, and finally had to sit alone away from the team and wait for the parade to begin.
After a simple and rich breakfast while waiting, the time came to nine o'clock, and the top leader, surrounded by a group of staff, arrived in the General Assembly Hall, and after shaking hands with a group of foreign guests, the ceremony was about to begin.
During the handshake ceremony, Wang Zheng thought he would be left out because he was far away from the foreign team, but the Minister of Culture had sharp eyes and hurriedly waved him over, Wang Zheng had no choice but to stand at the end of the line.
The handshake ceremony soon came to Wang Zheng's turn, and the top leader shook his hand under the introduction of Culture Minister Zhu Muzhi.
Feeling the calloused fingers, Wang Zheng's wrist couldn't help but tremble, the eighty-year-old man in front of him had only seen it on TV in his previous life, but he didn't expect that he would not only be able to see it with his own eyes in this life, but also shake hands with his old man, if it weren't for the real temperature in his palm, he would have thought that everything was in a dream.
"Comrade, I saw you just now that you seem to be deliberately staying away from the foreign guest team, I don't know what the reason is?"
originally thought that the handshake was just a formality and etiquette, but he didn't expect the supreme leader to notice Wang Zheng's previous actions and ask questions.
Looking at the kind smile on the face of the supreme leader, Wang Zheng said truthfully: "Hello, Chairman! Because it is a contingent of foreign guests, but I am the representative of Xiangjiang, and as a Chinese, naturally I cannot stand with foreign guests." ”
The supreme leader glanced at Wang Zheng with a smile on his face, did not say anything, and then left the Great Hall with a group of leaders.
A simple and ordinary conversation, but Wang Zheng was sweating the back of his clothes, and he was too nervous and excited to see the supreme leader at close range.
At 9:40 a.m., the top state leaders and heads of various departments, together with people's representatives from all walks of life and foreign guests, climbed the Tiananmen Tower amid thunderous applause.
Just as Wang Zheng was about to sit in the seat where the foreign guests were, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stopped him.
"It's Comrade Wang Zheng, your seat is not here, please come with me!"
Wang Zheng was finally arranged by the middle-aged man in the seating area of the national people's deputies, although the field of vision is far less than the first row where the foreign guests are, but Wang Zheng is very excited, never expected that the supreme leader just because of a conversation with him, he personally asked people to help him change his position, so he was very flattered.
At 10 o'clock, Chen Xitong, mayor of Yanjing City, announced: "The celebration of the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China has officially begun!"
The celebration kicked off with the majestic "March of the Volunteers" national anthem and a 28-gun salute.
Together with the national people's representatives, Wang Zheng sang the national anthem loudly, singing and singing, and tears overflowed his eyes unconsciously.
