Chapter 162 Foreign Trade Mission

Madrid Barajas Airport, Spain.

A group of Chinese walked out of the terminal, dressed in uniform-style suits, pulling uniform-sized trolley suits, and even with the same reserved and uneasy expressions on their faces. At the front was a slightly wealthy man in his 50s, followed by a beautiful female translator.

"I wish the director, please go this way...... It seems to be a special passenger passage over there! ”

Huang Liwei, a female translator who has just graduated from the language academy for less than a year, is also going abroad for the first time, but she has to pretend to be familiar with all the rules, and from time to time remind Zhu Xiaofeng, director of the Hongyuan Provincial Foreign Trade Department next to her.

"It's an old developed country, this airport ...... Gee...... It's so big and luxurious. Zhu Xiaofeng looked around and made marginal comments. He has had the experience of going abroad several times, but due to the language barrier, he can't talk about any impression of the country he has visited, and he can't summarize any characteristics, so he evaluates them as "big" and "luxurious".

"Director Zhu, look, that's the person from the embassy who came to pick us up." Huang Liwei found a big sign that read "Hongyuan Province" at a glance in the crowd who picked up the airport, and immediately shouted excitedly. To be honest, if there is no one to receive her locally, she really doesn't know where to take this team.

"It's Director Zhu, right? I am Wang Zheyi, Third Secretary of the Chinese Embassy, and I am appointed by Ambassador Luo to greet you. A girl of the same age as Huang Liwei stepped forward with a smile and nodded to Zhu Xiaofeng.

"Oh, Secretary Wang, thank you Ambassador Luo, thank you Secretary Wang." Zhu Xiaofeng hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Wang Zheyi, with a smile on his face with a bit of humility. He knew it. Don't look at yourself as a powerful director in the province, you can shout at you, and if you come abroad, it's nothing. People's embassies usually receive central leaders and ministry officials, and people can not care about him as a local official.

Wang Zheyi smiled slightly and shook hands with Zhu Xiaofeng gently. Then he stretched out his hand and signaled, "The car we chartered for you is outside, please come with me." The hotel I booked for you is called Mellon Palace Hotel, and when I get to the hotel, I will write your name and phone number. ”

"Thank you so much, the embassy is really our sweet friend." Zhu Xiaofeng praised.

"You're welcome, that's what we're supposed to do." Wang Zheyi replied politely.

From the moment she saw Wang Zheyi, Huang Liwei's eyes never left her. She carefully observed Wang Zheyi's clothes, pants, shoes, bracelets, hairstyle, makeup, and even secretly sniffed the smell of perfume wafting from Wang Zheyi's body, and kept this smell firmly in her heart.

Wang Zheyi's dress is actually very ordinary. But its charm is also revealed in this inadvertent free and easy, which is a temperament that can only be cultivated by long-term foreign affairs work. On the other hand, in this foreign trade delegation in Hongyuan Province, everyone wears suits specially made before going abroad, but one by one looks extremely awkward, no wonder some people say that no matter where they see the delegation from Chinese mainland, they will not mistake it for people from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

When Huang Liwei was in school, she was very envious of the teachers who could dress up like foreigners, and these students did not have the financial means to buy fashionable clothes. There is also not enough eye to match their own clothes. Now, a blueprint appeared in front of her that she could refer to. How could she not study it carefully.

"Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang, what are you looking at!" The people next to her began to speak, but Huang Liwei just stared at Wang Zheyi, and she almost bumped into someone else.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Director Jiang...... I, I was just thinking about what Secretary Wang said about the Mellon Palace Hotel in Spanish. Huang Liwei hurriedly covered up and said. She is also responsible for the organization and administration of the entire delegation, and knows the whole delegation. The person who reminded her just now was Jiang Huanwen, the director of the Hongyuan Provincial Iron and Steel Plant, who was the big financier of the trip.

The Hongyuan Provincial Department of Foreign Trade organized a delegation to Spain this time, and the main task was to negotiate the introduction of a set of steelmaking equipment for the Hongyuan Provincial Iron and Steel Plant to reach the level of the late 70s in Europe. Hongyuan Provincial Iron and Steel Plant has been working hard for several years. Finally, the Ministry of Metallurgy was persuaded to agree to this introduction project, and it took a lot of effort to get Hongyuan Province to come up with funds to realize this introduction. If you want to introduce equipment, you naturally have to come to inspect it first, so Jiang Huanwen reported to the Provincial Foreign Trade Department and asked to organize a delegation to Spain.

The Foreign Trade Department approved the report and requested that the delegation must include personnel from the Foreign Trade Department in order to check the introduction policy for Red Steel. Of course, Jiang Huanwen could not refuse such a request, so the delegation included Zhu Xiaofeng, director of the department, Huang Liwei, translator, a director of the general office of the provincial government, the wife of the director, and a director of the metallurgical department...... On the list submitted to the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office for the record, Jiang Huanwen and several middle-level cadres of Honggang ranked in the bottom of the list.

Before getting on the plane, Jiang Huanwen finally got the good news, that is, they were no longer at the bottom of the list, and two new members continued their names after them, these two people were named Chen Hongcheng and Qin Hai.

When Chen Hongcheng was the director of the Materials Department, he had dealings with Jiang Huanwen, but the relationship was relatively ordinary. This time, Chen Hongcheng squeezed into the foreign trade delegation of Honggang through his connections in the Foreign Trade Department. What made Jiang Huanwen feel more comfortable was that Chen Hongcheng and the little attendant named Qin Hai had their own travel expenses, and they didn't spend Honggang's money. The only advantage he took advantage of was to get two places abroad that were extremely valuable at that time.

During the training before the departure of the delegation, as well as in the process of departure, boarding, and transfer, Chen Hongcheng gave full play to his long-sleeved and good dancing talents, and quickly fought with all the people in the group. In contrast, Qin Hai is much more wooden, he has always maintained a taciturn attitude, following Chen Hongcheng's side closely, like a bag bearer.

Regarding Qin Hai's identity, the people in the group were not without speculation. With the information conditions of that year, Qin Hai's name was not enough to spread to Hongyuan Province, so no one knew who he was. When Chen Hongcheng introduced Qin Hai to everyone, he only said that he was a staff member of the Red Sea Company, but what made everyone feel strange was that Chen Hongcheng's attitude towards this subordinate was a little too equal, and this subordinate seemed to be too eyeless.

As a result, officials with a rich political sense and gossip mentality made various conjectures about Qin Hai, and one of the more concentrated views was that Qin Hai might be the child of a certain family of Chen Hongcheng's family, who was arranged to live in Chen Hongcheng's company. With this understanding, everyone's attitude towards Qin Hai became enthusiastic, don't look at this young and stupid person, who knows which temple the father of the Daoist family is?

Under the guidance of Wang Zheyi, everyone got on a bus and came to the Mellon Palace Hotel. This is a 3-star hotel located in the heart of Madrid, surrounded by several shopping streets and easily accessible to the city. Every time a similar business delegation comes to Spain, the embassy will arrange them in several similar hotels to make it easier for the members of the delegation to go shopping.

In recent years, there have been more and more domestic delegations to foreign countries to carry out business and trade activities, and some delegations have even gone out to travel and shop under the guise of commerce and trade. For these groups, all the embassy can do is help rent a car to pick them up, then find a hotel to drop them off, and then the rest is up to them. If every group comes and has to be accompanied by someone from the embassy the whole time, then the embassy will not want to do anything else.

Most of the people in the delegation didn't even understand English, let alone Spanish, and everything had to be guided by Wang Zheyi and Huang Liwei. These people are all a little bit of a face in China, and they don't know what order is at all, and they shout when they encounter something, and they can't wait for the translator to solve it immediately:

"Xiao Huang, please come and take a look, what is this thing for......

"Xiao Huang, why can't I turn on the light here......"

"Secretary Wang, can you find someone to change the pillow, my lover can't sleep on this soft pillow......"

The Spanish waiters in the corridor were smiling one by one, standing aside and looking at these old people from the East, indifferent, only when Wang Zheyi and Huang Liwei asked them for help, they moved. Since this hotel became the designated hotel of the Chinese Embassy to receive Chinese delegations, the waiters have become accustomed to this kind of scene.

"I wish the hall director, Xiao Qin and I will go out for a while, so you don't have to wait for us to have lunch."

In the chaos, Chen Hongcheng took Qin Hai to Zhu Xiaofeng's room and asked Zhu Xiaofeng for leave.

"You ...... Where are you going? Do you know the way? Without waiting for Zhu Xiaofeng to say anything, Wang Zheyi, who was helping to guide the use of various electrical appliances in the room, was stunned and couldn't help but look back.

Looking at this, Wang Zheyi remembered that when everyone surrounded her and asked long and short questions, these two people didn't seem to say anything. After she distributed the room key, before the others could find the elevator, the two men had already disappeared without a trace with their suitcases. By this point, most of them were still busy getting acquainted with the room, but the two of them seemed to have cleaned up, and the older one seemed to be busy washing his hair and blowing the wind, and his hair looked quite smooth.

"Where are you going, and don't you need to bring an interpreter?" Wang Zheyi asked strangely. (To be continued......)
