"You may feel a little uncomfortable in your ears when the plane takes off, I have gummies here, and you can chew it when it is uncomfortable for a while, which can relieve the pressure on your eardrums." After Guo Xiang finished speaking, he handed over a few pieces of candy.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Zhang Ling took the sugar.

Feng Hai heard that the other person was obviously very experienced, and he was still playing in front of her, and the roots of his ears suddenly turned red.

"How long does it take to get to Port City from here?" Zhang Ling asked again.

"About four hours, you can close your eyes and rest for a while." Guo Xiang said.

"And how long does it take to get from Harbour City to Riyadh?" Zhang Ling asked again.

"It's about a dozen hours, a bit long, but you can sleep, and then you can sleep. There are also in-flight meals on board, so don't worry about starving you. Guo Xiang said with a smile.

Zhang Ling was a little embarrassed, "I'm not worried about this ......"

Guo Xiang smiled, "You have more opportunities to go abroad in the future of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, pay more attention to it, and you will have experience in the future." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Ling nodded.

Guo Xiang turned back and took the magazine in front of him.

Four hours later, I arrived at Harbour City Airport, transferred at Harbour City Airport, and waited another three hours before finally taking a flight to Riyadh.

Because the tickets are booked uniformly, they are all economic warehouses.

This time, Zhang Ling changed seats with others and moved to Guo Xiang's side, because she felt that Guo Xiang knew more and was very safe by her side.

Since it was a transfer, I didn't get on the plane until about 8 o'clock in the evening, and everyone had eaten at the port city airport, so there was no food on the plane, but there were drinks.

Zhang Ling sat next to Guo Xiang and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, it's my first time going to a Middle Eastern country, and I'm a little nervous, what do you say I should pay attention to?" ”

"Didn't you team leader Qian say it just now?" Guo Xiang smiled.

"He said it in such a general way that it was almost as good as not saying it." Zhang Ling pouted.

Guo Xiang nodded, "The Saudi Arabia we went to this time is an Arab country, they are Mu Qilin, and there are still many rules." ”

"For example, women don't shake hands with men, and men should pay attention to this and don't take the initiative to shake hands with women." Speaking of this, Guo Xiang touched Gu Zhennan, he nodded, indicating that he understood, but his character basically does not shake hands with women even in China.

"It doesn't matter if you're a girl, but be careful not to photograph their women when you take pictures." Guo Xiang said to Zhang Ling, "If you have time to play, you should also ask which places are not allowed to take pictures, pay attention to it." ”

"And they respect the right side, and they even have to step with their right foot before entering the door. For example, when eating, receiving business cards, and receiving gifts, you have to use your right hand, and if you use your left hand, they will think it is disrespectful. ”

"Of course, we stayed in a hotel and didn't go to other people's homes, so it shouldn't matter. If you want to go to a temple or other place, you should be careful, not only do you have to take off your shoes with your right foot to enter the door, and women must wear a headscarf or a robe to enter. Guo Xiang said.

"So troublesome? Then we won't go to the temple to play, and I don't know if we have time to play this time. Zhang Ling said.

Guo Xiang continued: "Many Arab countries are forbidden to drink, even if there is a place to drink, you should pay attention, in our country will often clink glasses and toast, they can't do it, and drinking tea is the same, don't think this is common sense, many people don't understand." ”

Zhang Ling nodded, "You don't say that I really don't know, I guess many people don't know, right?" We think it's normal to clink glasses, where do we want to get so much? Fortunately, I asked my sister-in-law, if you can't make a mistake. ”

Feng Hai in the back was very surprised when he heard it, he couldn't imagine that this woman knew so much? Has she been?

"In short, be careful in everything, and don't try what you don't know." Guo Xiang said.

"Well, I'll take notice." Zhang Ling nodded.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I heard that it's still summer in Saudi Arabia, and I brought summer clothes and a small blazer, okay?" Zhang Ling asked.

"Yes, it's not just summer, it's all year round. Their country has a tropical desert climate, even the coldest January has ten or twenty degrees, and there is no winter. Guo Xiang said.

"So that's it?" Zhang Ling suddenly realized, "No wonder Team Leader Qian asked us to just wear a winter coat, don't bring more, it's really cumbersome to bring more." ”

"The climate over there is very dry and the sun is very high, so you have to pay attention to heat and sun protection. Did you bring sunscreen? Guo Xiang asked.

"Huh? No, I only brought cream, and I want to apply it to my face. Zhang Ling said, these small details Qian team leader naturally will not say.

"I've got two with me, I'll get one for you when I get off the plane. When the time comes, you will also have to wear makeup when you are doing translation work, which is polite to people, just wear light makeup. Guo Xiang said.

"Well, that's what I thought." Zhang Ling nodded, after all, it was someone who had been to the United States who had learned a little about makeup.

"I heard that we are mainly participating in the bidding of the oil field this time, and I have also temporarily learned a lot of oil-related terms, if my sister-in-law doesn't understand, I will ask you." Zhang Ling said.

"Okay!" Guo Xiang nodded, Zhang Ling was studious and would naturally teach her.

"Sister-in-law, I heard they have a lot of oil? Everywhere? Zhang Ling asked again.

"Yes, very much, especially Saudi Arabia, which accounts for almost a quarter of the world's oil reserves, ranks first in the world. Along with oil and natural gas, the reserves are also the fourth largest in the world, and they are very rich. ”

"Why? Why is the oil all in their country? Zhang Ling was puzzled.

"It's caused by the geological environment, you don't know about the formation of oil, so you don't know, let me tell you a brief." Guo Xiang said.

As soon as the people on the side heard what Guo Xiang said, they all pricked up their ears and listened.

"The oil is mainly formed by the changes of prehistoric marine animals and algal carcasses, which are mixed with long geological ages and siltation and are buried under thick sedimentary rocks."

"They are gradually transformed under high temperature and pressure in the subsurface to form waxy oil shale, which later degenerates into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons, which are oil and gas."

"Most of Saudi Arabia's land is desert, and a small part is ocean, in fact, deserts used to be oceans, but after the movement of the earth's crust, the sea level rises, the sea retreats, and then through strong evaporation slowly forms a desert, so the bottom is full of oil, do you say it can't be much?" Guo Xiang said.

"Sister-in-law, how do you know this?" Zhang Ling was surprised, didn't she study medicine?

"My mother is a teacher at the University of Petroleum, and I have read these books since I was a child, so I know about it, and now that your cousin is engaged in this industry, he naturally knows more." Guo Xiang said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you're amazing!" Zhang Ling couldn't help but sigh, she couldn't learn a foreign language by herself, and her sister-in-law really knew everything.
