Volume 5 The Five Mountains are Light Chapter 38 Diplomatic Life
Yangon at the end of May is hot and sweltering, and with its large population and dense slums, the whole city is like a big steamer, and the stuffy people can't breathe.
The air conditioner was cold and windy, and although the ambassador's residence was as cool as usual, Lu Zheng was also like suffering from heat stroke in the face of Mrs. Amalia and many maids who suddenly arrived, and his brain could not recover its normal function for a long time.
When I asked about Mrs. Amalia, she said that Miss Sandru was in the Federal Republic of Germany, and that she would come to China again in a few days.
Lu Zheng also received a call from his mother, asking him to return to Beijing a week in advance to prepare for the wedding, and the leaders of the ministry also granted leave.
A few days ago, Lu Zheng was officially appointed as the ambassador of the Republic to Myanmar and moved into the ambassador's residence.
The white yarn sent Mrs. Amalia and a group of maids to the outpost, indicating that she was determined to marry her, and that she was going to have a wedding, so she would come to the ambassador's residence for a while.
Thinking about it, Lu Zheng couldn't help but have a little headache.
This family affair seems to be irreversible, because she has not arrived, but she has been registered with the Beijing Civil Affairs Department with Bai Shabao, and Bai Shabao has become a Chinese citizen who has reached the age of 20, but in fact, she has not renounced her German nationality.
In fact, according to the law, Chinese nationality is almost the most difficult nationality to join on shijie, such as the regulations on the time of settlement, such as various censorships, etc., but the white gauze bag people have not appeared, they have become Chinese citizens, and they also have German nationality, but China does not recognize dual nationality.
All of this can be regarded as a special affair, and this is also a characteristic of the republic, and it has seen more than this absurd Lu Zheng, such as the deputies to the people's congress who are not returned overseas Chinese are foreigners, and so on.
And oneself, no matter how you put it, can be regarded as earning foreign exchange for the country, not transferring the wealth earned at home to overseas. Lu Zheng could only think so self-deprecatingly.
Of course, it's a confusing account with the white gauze bag now, and after a while, when the situation is clear, let's deal with nationality and other things.
In the official residence, there were suddenly many eye-catching maids, which surprised the embassy, but when the Burmese dignitaries visited, his fiancée's boss also won glory for himself, allowing the Burmese people to see aristocratic life. As a result, many Burmese politicians realized that their northern neighbor was no longer the closed country it used to be.
The Ambassador's Residence in Myanmar is a majestic manor-style villa, which is also due to the poverty of Yangon, and the land is very cheap.
On the morning of that day, Lu Zheng met with the special envoy of the Finnish Foreign Ministry Niinistö at his official residence, and the two exchanged views on the peace process in Myanmar. In the afternoon, the ambassador's official residence welcomed a group of special guests -- a domestic CCTV film crew, led by the famous CCTV director Fang Shuhua, came to Myanmar to shoot a newsreel related to the life of the Chinese in Myanmar and the political situation in Myanmar.
In fact, the film crew was contacted by Lu Zheng, of course, it was Director Fang, and he would not know that Lu Zheng was the driving force behind the scenes.
What gave Lu Zheng a headache was their visit to the embassy and the shooting, and in desperation, Lu Zheng made Mrs. Amalia and the obviously exotic blonde maid and mixed-race maid avoid, leaving only six girls with the blood of Eastern countries, and made them change into Western-style maid clothes and put on red uniforms, just like the outfits of domestic star hotel service staff.
After all, the conditions in Myanmar are difficult, and the reporters and crew members who come to Myanmar to shoot newsreels are not the backbone of CCTV, and there are very few opportunities to go abroad, let alone enter and exit the extremely mysterious place of the ambassador's residence, many of them are the first time in their lives.
In the spacious and elegant study room of the official residence, directed by director Fang Shuhua, Xiao Xue, a cutting-edge hostess of CCTV, interviewed Lu Zheng.
Xiao Xueswen, who is wearing a beige skirt, is generous, and she is also very beautiful, with fair skin, light willow eyebrows, and bright eyes, which are better than on TV.
However, perhaps because of such an important interview for the first time, she frequently said wrong things, hyphenation, and forgot words, so that Director Fang had to call "NG" again and again.
Director Fang encouraged her at first, but gradually became a little impatient, and her face became colder and colder, so Xiao Xue was even more nervous, and even picked up the microphone for a long time, unable to remember the question she wanted to ask.
I don't know how many N I shouted, Fang Dao finally broke out, stood up, and shouted to Xiao Xue: "You come out with me." ”
Xiao Xue's eyes are red, Director Fang has always liked her very much, and this interview task is what Director Fang helped her win, if she does it well, she will write a strong stroke on her journalist qualifications, and it is also a good opportunity for her to be a first-line host, but she doesn't want to, frequent mistakes, show her shortcomings.
Director Fang naturally wanted to ask her to go out and teach her a lesson.
Lu Zheng smiled and waved his hand at this time, and said, "Director Fang, don't get excited. He beckoned to Xiao Xue again: "You're too nervous, I think so, sit down first, let's find some topics to talk about and get acquainted with each other, so that you should be able to relieve your nervousness." ”
Fang Shuhua said, "Ambassador, I'm really sorry, it's because I didn't prepare enough, and we will definitely seriously sum up the lessons and lessons for our work mistakes丨Do profound self-criticism." "Such a young ambassador to a foreign country must have super ability, and sitting in front of him, you can feel the pressure of the superior, which is not the same as the local ministry.
Lu Zheng smiled: "It's not that serious, in fact, our film, if it is filmed, it may not be able to be broadcast in China, after all, now we talk about unity, and it is useless to provoke national sentiment." ”
Listening to the strength of Lu Zheng's speech, and not avoiding some things, Fang Shuhua felt more and more that this diplomat was unusual.
Lu Zheng said again: "So, it's all relaxed, it's no big deal." About the newsreel, I think so, more records in the bright side of the Burmese Chinese, is the inspirational aspect of haode, our purpose, is to let the domestic people know that in Nanyang, we have many, many compatriots, living hard, struggling. Let's not talk about politics, the theme is still thousands of rivers and mountains, and the overseas Chinese are close to each other, that is, I hope that the people in China will not forget them. ”
Fang Shuhua nodded silently and said with a smile: "Our film crew will shoot in this direction." ”
