Stevens also admired Gu Zun in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the face of the sudden encirclement of media reporters, Gu Zun was able to react quickly, that is, he got out very naturally, treated the media reporters very kindly, and turned the trouble into an opportunity, creating a very effective publicity opportunity for Stevens.

As soon as Stevens took over the work of the adjutant of the United Nations RFP observation team, someone immediately approached Stevens to discuss the publication and distribution of the Chinese version of his book "Urban Pipe Network and Fire Protection".

Stevens was also worried that publishing books in China would be troublesome. He wanted to publish a book when he was studying at Tsinghua University, but because in addition to celebrities publishing books in China, there are special people who come to help you publish them. It is very difficult for ordinary people to publish books, and a publishing house receives thousands of book samples every day, and the vast majority of the editors only look at the title and throw them into the pile of discarded sample books of the publishing house. Some editors may look at the executive summary, but no one has read the content of a typical sample book.

Professional books written by foreigners have a very small circulation in China, and most publishers are reluctant to publish them. Stevens just thinks that in Jiangcheng, a city full of colleges and universities, his books may be a bit of a sell, but he doesn't have much hope.

Now, when the opportunity came, Stevens quickly mobilized his specialty, which was witty and Mandarin, to have a promotional promotion before the signing event.

"Previously, we made a press release, and one of the main elements of the activities of the United Nations Observer Group was to do a good job of publicity and consultation. The main purpose of all our activities is to improve the living environment and reduce and eliminate fire hazards. Combined with such activities, today's book "Urban Pipe Network and Fire Protection Renovation", recommended by the United Nations, will be published in Jiangcheng. This is the first Chinese version of the book to be published in China, and I was honored to attend the signing event in person. Stevens began to talk eloquently, attracting the attention of reporters from major media outlets.

"Mr. Stevens, can you tell us more about the signing event?" A reporter asked.

"Of course, in the Xinhua Bookstore in Jiangqiao District, the book sales will start now, and the signing event will officially start at about two o'clock in the afternoon." Stevens replied.

"Will all the members of the RFP observation team be there?" A reporter asked.

"The morning is mainly my one-on-one communication with readers, and in the afternoon I sign off, and other members of the RFP will be there if they have time." Stevens replied.

But I feel a little hairy in my heart, obviously today is a free activity, and I didn't arrange a group to participate in this signing, but the reporter asked, and I can't let them down immediately, what should I do?

Stevens was silent on the surface, interacting with reporters, and he could think about it: It's good to find a way to contact a few other talents quickly.

Gu Zun arrived at the street of the building where Liya Clothing Company was located, and at the intersection of the street, the car was blocked by the crowd of traffic and people. It was the first time for Gu Zun to come to Hanzhong Street, sitting in the car, and at first chatting with his wife Gu Wenliya, but about 20 minutes had passed, and the car had only advanced less than 100 meters after stopping.

Gu Zun said: "Get out of the car and take a walk, and also look at Hanzheng Street." ”

Gu Wenliya didn't really want to get out of the car, and said: "Today is good, the car is still advancing." I've encountered a car that goes less than 100 meters in 1 hour! ”

The car stopped again, "Let's get out of the car and go." Gu Zun said and opened the car door, got out of the car, and then walked to the other side and opened the car door for his wife.

Gu Wenliya didn't say anything, and got out of the car. The big car continued to move slowly down the road, and Gu Wen Liya took Gu Zun around to the sidewalk.

Gu Zun is wearing a casual jacket today, and Gu Wen Liya is wearing a more ladylike suit. After getting out of the car, Gu Wen Liya took Gu Zun's arm, and the two walked in the crowd, turning their bodies sideways from time to time, passing by pedestrians.

"Let's go down the alley!" Gu Wenliya said, "Closer, fewer people, just a few corners away." ”

Walking to the mouth of the alley, Gu Zun looked at the street, stopped and looked around, and then said, "This street is too crowded, there is no fire escape at all!" ”

"Hehe, you're an occupational disease." Seeing her husband's suddenly serious appearance, Gu Wenliya said very intellectually, her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her eyes were raised.

Looking at his wife's smile, Gu Zun admired Gu Wenliya's elegant demeanor and the feeling that was pleasing to the eye at first sight, and his mood suddenly improved.

Indeed, Gu Wen Liya has always been down-to-earth and generous, she can often tell you with body language that she is a fashionable, decent, respectful of others, cherishing herself, and knowing how to live a woman, and her feminine charm is as impressive as her ability to do things.

The woman of the new era of self-improvement, self-reliance, and self-confidence is probably a woman like Gu Wen Liya.

Gu Zun smiled, completely transferred from professional thinking to real life, and shook Gu Wen Liya's hand holding his arm with his right hand, feeling very warm.

After turning a few corners in the alleys of Hanzheng Street, Gu Zun and the others arrived at the building where Liya Company was located, Gu Zun looked at the location of the building and the endless flow of people, and was a little thoughtful: "There is not enough fire escape at all!" ”

Gu Zun shook his head, but when he saw that his wife had also stopped and waited for him, he quickly turned around and accompanied his wife upstairs.

When Li Changmin arrived at the Jiangqiao District Government, the staff of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office were already waiting with the relevant personnel of the traffic police department who had brought him, and they quickly handled the relevant foreign driver's license authentication and identity visa documents, taking photographs, and simple physical examinations, and all the formalities were quickly completed.

Li Changmin held the Chinese driver's license issued by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, and he was still a little excited. Because, in Lee's view, although his Korean driver's license is common in the United States, because the United States and South Korea are both members of the International Driver's Convention. However, in a non-member country of the International Driver's Convention such as China, foreign driver's licenses cannot be used. And to apply for a driver's license, it should be quite difficult.

Of course, Lee Changmin would not have thought that a Chinese driver's license can also be used in the United States. But U.S. driver's licenses, like South Korean driver's licenses, cannot be used in China. However, the difference in fact is different, that is, in China, it is too easy to get a driver's license.

Besides, Lee Changmin is the image ambassador of the United Nations and an RFP observer, and if he wants to get a driver's license in China, if he does not consider the international impact and perform the superficial procedures, then he will not let Lee Changmin make such a trip by himself.
