The state banquet refers to a dinner held by Chinese leaders to entertain foreign guests on Chinese New Year's Eve. The people who can participate in the state banquet are all Chinese diplomatic officials and important foreign guests of embassies of various countries, and the venue of the state banquet is in the Great Hall of the People, which can be said to be quite grand.

The motorcade of the US Embassy stopped outside the Great Hall of the People, and the Chinese officials warmly greeted them, opened the car door, and Charlie was the first to get out of the car and shake hands with the officials one by one under the support of American bodyguards.

Tang Yanru, who was dressed in India, and Yang Ning got out of the car together, Yang Ning looked around, and was the first to observe the surrounding situation, everyone's appearance and whether there were any suspicious people present, all of which were perceived by Yang Ning.

After a series of events, Yang Ning's change made him cautious with a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, and after observing a circle and finding that there was no danger, his nervous mood relaxed, and he followed the team behind the team without showing any water.

Tang Yan was very natural and casual, and in the conversation with the Chinese officials, she did not miss a sigh and answered all questions happily until she entered the Great Hall of the People.

The Great Hall of the Chinese People sits west and faces east, with a construction area of 150,000 square meters, which is larger than the Forbidden City in terms of floor area.

Now that Yang Ning has entered the Great Hall of Names, even if he is well-informed and a little prepared, he is also shocked by the luxury of the Great Hall of the People.

There are many halls in the hall, and in the foyer you can see the central hall, the hall of the auditorium, the hall of the welcome, the hall of the state reception and the golden hall.

The second is the provincial departments and departments, and there are as many provinces as there are in the country, which shows how big the Great Hall of the People is.

Under the leadership of the official staff, a group of foreign guests entered the national reception hall, this hall from beginning to end shows the solemn splendor of a country, in the eyes of Yang Ning, this is different from many luxury buildings in the world, because the building here represents the face of the country, so the luxury of the welcome hall cannot be described in words.

A group of people are walking inside, there are many people in the welcome hall, and there are many people chatting in the hall, foreigners and Chinese people, and the people who greet them are Chinese officials.

Yang Ning looked at the group carefully, and the leader was the fat man he had seen in the embassy in the morning, he didn't remember what his name was, he only knew what director Qian of the bureau he was.

Director Qian came over with a smile and reached out to shake Charlie's hand, "Mr. Charlie is really a busy man!" I applied for a meeting today, and I waited for a day and didn't see your figure. ”

The translator behind him hurriedly translated it after Director Qian finished speaking, and Yang Ning, who was following behind, sneered, and scolded in his heart: This Director Qian doesn't seem to be a good person, he was so arrogant when he met in the morning, and now he is so complimentary, at first glance, he is the master of two sides and three swords.

The two parties shook hands with each other and walked into the hall together, during which everyone chatted one sentence at a time, and the topics were some common words, because Yang Ning was bored and didn't listen carefully.

There are a lot of sofas arranged in the reception hall, and there are a lot of snacks and red wine on the tables around them.

Yang Ning originally wanted to stand behind everyone, but Tang Yanru came to Yang Ning's side and pulled him to sit next to Charlie, Director Qian showed a surprised look when he saw Yang Ning, looked at Charlie and asked:

"Mr. Charlie, I wonder who this one is next to you?"

Charlie looked sideways at Yang Ning, and Tang Yanru preemptively explained:

"This is Mr. Charlie's personal assistant and translator."

"Oh!" Director Qian looked embarrassed, but he didn't pay attention to Yang Ning, and said with a smile:

"This distinguished lady, I don't know how you feel about the economic development of China? Are you interested in investing? ”

Tang Yanru smiled elegantly and chatted with Director Qian.

Charlie took out the cigar on his body, and just lit it, the Huaxia attendant behind him hurriedly took out the best cigarettes, and the entourage next to Director Qian took it and walked to Charlie's side, and said in English:

"Mr. Charlie, this is the cigarette of our country, you can taste it!"

Charlie put away the cigar and took the best cigarette, Yang Ning was just about to reach out for one, the secretary who served the cigarette subconsciously handed out a cigarette to everyone, but Yang Ning was missed, and the seemingly unintentional action made Yang Ning extremely embarrassed, but Yang Ning knew that this person did it on purpose.

The secretary was very natural, and after the American personnel finished sending cigarettes, they sent a circle to the Huaxia personnel, Tang Yanru and Charlie's faces were not good-looking, and they looked at Yang Ning cautiously, worried that he would be angry and didn't care about the onset of the occasion.

Director Qian and the others didn't seem to see the embarrassment, and looked at Yang Ning's embarrassed face with a smile after arrogantly lighting a cigarette.

However, the cold scene was only a moment, Charlie was the first to react, looked at the cigarette in his hand, and said sideways:

"I'm not used to your Chinese cigarettes, so give it to you!"

After Charlie finished speaking, he handed the cigarette in his hand to Yang Ning, and took out a golden lighter to light Yang Ning.

Yang Ning smoked a cigarette and looked at Director Qian and his party indifferently, in fact, he was not so angry in his heart, isn't it just a cigarette, there is no need to worry about them on this occasion.

However, Charlie's actions made Director Qian's face a little unbearable, and watching Charlie light a cigarette for this subordinate, he realized that this Huaxia translator didn't seem to be so simple.

The cigarette was lit, Yang Ning took a puff, and Charlie took back the lighter to light his cigar.

Director Qian turned his head to look at the secretary who was smoking, and said sharply:

"What did you do? Missing someone and not seeing? You won't have to go to work tomorrow. ”

The secretary who was smoking retreated in a cold sweat, without justifying or talking nonsense, and slowly retreated behind everyone.

"Newcomer, you don't understand the rules, please don't care." Director Qian explained awkwardly.

"It's fine, I'm not a smoker myself." Charlie shook the cigar in his hand as he spoke, and in his consciousness, the cigar was not smoke.

The embarrassing situation was finally alleviated, and at this time the group came over, originally Yang Ning didn't care, but when they stood in front of Charlie, respectfully saluted and spoke in island Chinese, Yang Ning knew that this was a group of island people.

Under the explanations of the translators, everyone knew that these islanders were close to Charlie.

Director Qian and the others had a bad look, they stammered Charlie just to let Charlie invest and do business in Huaxia, who knew that these island people came to stir up the situation, and they really inserted needles when they saw a seam.

However, in the eyes of foreign guests, the island nation is originally the dog of the United States, and it is normal for them to befriend Charlie.

Charlie stood up and shook hands with the islanders one by one, and Tang Yanru was translating the conversation between the two groups of people on the side, to the effect that Mr. Charlie was going to invest somewhere.

Charlie didn't rush to answer with a haha, just after sitting down, a diplomat from the island country came out and motioned for Yang Ning to give up a seat, Yang Ning looked coldly at the island people ignoring him.

The islanders frowned, and looked sideways at Director Qian and his party of government officials, "You Chinese people are too rude, let your interpreter give up a seat." ”

Director Qian didn't like these islanders either, and said with a sneer:

"I'm sorry, he's not from our side."

The island people were a little confused, and looked at Yang Ning with a surprised expression.

Tang Yanru hurriedly played a round, "Everyone, I'm sorry, we are talking about cooperation with Huaxia, if you can, please go to the side and wait in line first, okay?" ”

"What do you mean?"

The people of the island country do not understand that since World War II, the island country and the United States have been standing on the same front, but why is it different today?

"What do you mean!" Yang Ning sat on the sofa, looked at a group of island people with cold eyes, and said sharply in English:

"The meaning is very simple, that is, let me go as far as you think!"

The whole hall was silent in an instant, Yang Ning's words were very loud, everyone present heard them, and more importantly, this sentence was obviously scolding.

The island people looked at Yang Ning in surprise, and Mu Nai pointed at Yang Ning and said:

"You say that, can you represent Mr. Charlie?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Yang Ning, that's right, this little translator actually dared to scold the diplomats of the island country on such an important diplomatic occasion, what would Mr. Charlie think.

Who knew that just when everyone was puzzled, Charlie smiled and said:

"That's okay, what he just said can indeed represent my remarks!"

In an instant, the originally quiet hall blew up in an instant, and all the diplomats gathered together to discuss, because they really couldn't understand, why did Mr. Charlie look down on the diplomats of the island country so much, did they have a business conflict?

The islander put his hot face on the cold buttocks, and he was naturally embarrassed, so he didn't leave and turned his head away.

Director Qian and some others still didn't understand what was going on, and Mu Nai didn't know what to say when he watched the islanders leave.

Seeing this, Tang Yanru hurriedly explained, "These island people like to speculate and take advantage, and they talked about cooperation with us before, but they didn't have any sincerity at all, but now they still have the face to come and get close!" ”

Director Qian reacted at this time, nodding yes with a haha, but this time he looked at Yang Ning but did not have the feeling of contempt at the beginning.

Everyone in the hall began to talk again, Director Qian picked up the topic of investment again, and after consulting again, Tang Yanru said after thinking for a long time:

"Invest, we're going to go to S City in a few days to see, maybe there are projects we can invest in."

Yang Ning was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly had a novel idea in his heart, hasn't he been chased by the state very tightly recently! Why don't you use Tang Yanru's method to give them a golden cicada shell.

Transferring the target to S City, Yang Ning is secretly coming back to steal the diary, which is the only way so far.

Yang Ning thought about things, ignored the conversation in the hall, and said that he was a translator, who would believe it! Obviously, Director Qian and others also saw something.

In this way, after chatting for a while, the group entered the Golden Hall and began to eat, during the dinner in order to celebrate the Spring Festival, everyone rarely talked about the topic of state affairs, and in this way, the state banquet was held until late at night.
