Chapter 280: Evening Dress
Yan Tao glanced at the several women who were tired and panting, and were still in high spirits, and then looked at Xun Xinyu, who was calm and relaxed, and smiled helplessly and said, "Xinyu, you can understand by looking at the embarrassment of several of their beauties, do you think everyone is like you?"
"I dare to say that apart from you, Team Leader Xun, the others are not much stronger if they are not unrestrained.
"Yang Yang, after returning to China, get up early every morning to run with me, and wait until the fitness club is up, our home is close, and you have to exercise regularly every day."
After thinking about it for a while, Yan Tao suddenly had a new idea: "Yang Yang, I think the club can also attract men to participate, build a boys' gym, and build a badminton hall on the first floor.
"Beauty salons, dancing and yoga are for women, but some of them come with boys, and I found out about this in beauty salons, and if we have activities for men, men who come with women won't be bored, what do you think of this idea?"
Yun Yang smiled: "Brother, the idea is a good idea, and the ideas you come up with are 100% reasonable, but can't you let your head relax for a while?"
"Don't let yourself be too tired, now let's relax, I see there is sound equipment here, let's sing, although there is no Chinese accompaniment, but we can sing foreign songs, we can also sing a cappella."
The two young people, Xun Xinyu and Qiu Ya, immediately responded.
Fu Min looked at Yan Tao and said with a smile: "It seems that we can't go out today, that Miss Jones may come back when she will come back, and when she goes out to play, she also thinks about her family, so everyone is free, right?" ”
Fu Min is tone of questioning, nominally she is the supreme leader of these people, but in fact, she also listens to Yan Tao everywhere.
Whether it is public or private, she doesn't want to make up her own mind, women, too good and strong no man will like it, especially a man like Yan Tao, who is already very strong.
Yan Tao was not polite, nodded and said: "That's it, let's play casually, I guess that Jones may not have news in the evening, she should be more anxious than us." ”
Singing is indispensable without wine, Xun Xinyu and Qiu Ya found the wine cabinet, the variety is quite rich, the price is clearly marked on it, it is not cheap, but these two are princesses, where can they manage so much, this is a celebration!
Everyone drank and sang at the same time, of course they didn't drink too much, Yan Tao and Xun Xinyu were massive, and the foreign wine was not high.
Only Yun Yang and Qiu Ya were a little smoky, and Tao Jing drank very little.
Before I knew it, it was almost noon, and Fu Min had already called the shopkeeper to prepare lunch for them, and it happened to be delivered.
During lunch, Jones called, directly to Yan Tao's mobile phone: "Officer Yan, let me tell you good news, the official commitment letter of our Arizona Police Department is already in my hands, I will leave in half an hour, and it is estimated that it will take more than an hour to arrive."
"In addition, the wife of our governor, Mr. Leon, would like to invite you and his party to one of her private evenings, and besides, the wife of our state police commissioner will also attend, and if you have no opinion, Mr. Leon's daughter, Miss Lisa, will personally accompany me to visit you, and by the way, make a formal invitation, I wonder what you think?" Is that Miss Xun willing to appreciate the light? ”
Yan Tao hesitated for a moment and said: "Miss Jones, please thank the governor's wife on our behalf, but we can't make our own decisions on this matter, please wait a minute, we have to ask for instructions from China, forgive me!" ”
"Okay, Officer Yan, you're welcome, it's as it should be, I understand, Jones is waiting for your news." With that, Jones hung up.
Yan Tao had already pressed the speakerphone when he answered the phone, and everyone heard the conversation just now.
Yan Tao looked at Xun Xinyu and said, "It seems that this invitation is not so simple, Jones Yiyi mentioned Xinyu, so this matter must be asked for instructions from China." ”
After speaking, he turned to Fu Min: "Sister Fu, let's ask for instructions separately, you call the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I will call our team leader, but I am afraid that the final decision is to ask Xinyu for instructions at home, Secretary Cui's identity is sensitive, and the governor's wife obviously wants to enhance exchanges with our leaders through this ball." ”
Fu Min nodded with a serious expression and said, "You are right, this matter is too sensitive, this involves our country's policies towards various states and parties in the United States, and we cannot easily agree." ”
Fu Min looked at the time, smiled wryly and said, "Fortunately, it's only nine o'clock in the evening in China now, and if it's the middle of the night, it will be troublesome."
"In this way, Xinyu, you call Uncle Cui and explain the situation, and then explain that I have asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for instructions, and the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also ask Secretary Cui for instructions, disturbing him to rest, the call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may be a little later, they have to come up with a specific plan, please Uncle Cui wait a minute, okay?" Good thing you're his own daughter, giggles! ”
Xun Xinyu nodded: "Dad rests early, and going to bed at one o'clock in the morning is a common thing." ”
The discussion was decided, and the three of them made separate calls.
In fact, Yan Tao knew in his heart that his call was not a request for instructions, but just a report, not to mention a task force, even if the secretary of the provincial party committee had no say in such a matter, this had completely risen to the level of diplomacy between countries.
Sure enough, after Gai Yunpeng's phone was connected, Yan Tao reported what happened here, and Gai Yunpeng said solemnly: "Yan Tao, you are doing the right thing, this matter must be consulted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Secretary Cui himself, this is not only his family matter, but also a state matter."
"I will report to the relevant leaders of the provincial party committee immediately, but you don't have to wait for my call, everything is done according to the instructions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Secretary Cui, but there is one thing, you must not forget your own identity, if the leader approves this operation, you must fight for the police of our entire Jibei Province."
Yan Tao immediately replied: "Please rest assured that Secretary Gai will never disappoint the expectations of the organization and the elders in his hometown, and ensure the successful completion of the task." ”
Now, Yan Tao is also very confident.
Gai Yunpeng subconsciously nodded and said: "Okay, on behalf of all the colleagues of the task force, I would like to express my gratitude to you, and wish you complete success. ”
Yan Tao was a little excited, the main leader of the provincial party committee, who else could there be, it must be Qiao Hongen, secretary of the provincial party committee, only the secretary of the provincial party committee can be called the main leader of the provincial party committee.
After about ten minutes, Fu Min and Xun Xinyu also came downstairs separately, and Xun Xinyu nodded to Yan Tao and said, "Senior brother, Dad and the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed that we would accept their invitation.
"But there is a condition, I am not visiting this time as the daughter of a member of the Politburo and the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, and I ask that the other party must promise not to directly expose this identity, otherwise, we must refuse the other party."
Yan Tao nodded and said, "You can make this call, it looks formal." ”
After Xun Xinyu called the phone, she explained the situation to Jones, and Jones said, "Miss Xun, please wait a moment, our governor's wife is next to me, I will explain to her and listen to her opinion." ”
About a minute later, Jones's voice came: "Hello, Miss Xun, Mrs. Leon said that she understands your feelings, she has no other meaning, and she doesn't want to use this incident to do any publicity, but she just hopes that through this incident, we can enhance the communication between each other, and at the same time, I also hope that her daughter will know more about the young people in China, so that the younger generation can understand each other better......
"Therefore, she fully accepts your opinion and guarantees that she will not disclose any information about your family background to the media and public opinion."
Xun Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay Miss Jones, please convey my gratitude and my companion's thanks to Madame Leon and Miss Lisa, and we are happy to accept her invitation. ”
Putting down the phone, Xun Xinyu turned her head to look at everyone and said happily: "Sisters, hurry up and dress up, we are going to dress up to attend the ball specially held for us by Madame Leon to show our Chinese beauty." ”
Yun Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Xinyu, you are happy too early, I heard that Westerners attach great importance to this kind of gathering, and they are also very particular about dressing, this kind of atmosphere has begun to prevail in China, we are not prepared for this at all, where to get evening dresses?" ”
Xun Xinyu was also stunned.
Fu Min sighed and said: "Although Americans are not as particular as Europeans, dresses are indispensable, and time is too tight, otherwise we can ask the consulate for help."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, Huan Xinyu and Fu Min's phones rang almost at the same time, and they didn't have time to go upstairs, so the two of them answered nearby.
Xun Xinyu's call was from Jones: "I'm sorry Miss Xun, I forgot one thing just now, Mrs. Leon hurriedly chose a set of evening dresses for you based on your personal information, and Miss Martha and I will bring it to you directly......"
Over there, Fu Min received a call from the Huaxia Consulate in Phoenix: "Director Fu, I just received a call from China, asking us to prepare a gift for each of you this afternoon, in addition, we need the body information of each of you, please send it to my mobile phone, we will prepare evening dresses for each of you."
"Please contact us when you arrive in Phoenix, and at the same time, we have received a notice from the ministry that you can accept gifts that are not particularly expensive, including clothing, cosmetics and other souvenirs, but you must report to the diplomatic department after returning to your home country, and you cannot accept expensive gifts."
Xun Xinyu answered the phone from a foreign party and pressed the speakerphone directly, she didn't know how to answer, Fu Min put the receiver of her phone to her ear.
Xun Xinyu nodded, turned back to the microphone and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Jones, please wait, I'll answer a phone call for half a minute, I'm sorry." ”
After that, he canceled the hands-free, looked up at Fu Min and said, "Please ask me directly, if you can accept the evening dress." ”
Fu Min immediately asked the other party for instructions, and the other party sighed for a while and said: "It stands to reason that although the evening dress is worth a lot, it is also a costume, it is acceptable, and the gifts we prepared will also be raised accordingly.
"So you don't have to refuse, I'll ask the country for instructions right away, and I'll talk about it when that Martha arrives." (To be continued.) )
