"Hehe, you'll know when you go, anyway, when the time comes, I will focus on introducing a deputy counselor named Xiong Yuankun to you, and I want to have two more drinks with this leader." Lu Xudong smiled mysteriously.

The more the other party said, the more Zhong Bai felt confused: "Why do I have to drink two more drinks with this leader?" ”

"I'll just give you one hint, this Deputy Counselor Xiong Yuankun is from our Tiandu, and I'll sell the rest first." Lu Xudong smiled and said: "When the time comes, you will know when you drink, go back to the room and clean up your image, it is best to take a shower, and apply the hair oil to me like the first day, go quickly!" ”

Zhong Bai, who returned to the room, was puzzled, which one did Lu Xudong sing with himself?

Deputy Counselor Xiong Yuankun is from Tiandu, so what?

Let yourself have a few more drinks with the other person, which is nothing more than to deepen the impression and let the other person remember his name.

Can I deepen the impression with the leaders of the foreign affairs department, aren't you afraid that I will be abducted? And said that you want to focus on cultivating me?

This is obviously illogical.

Forget it, don't guess the leader's thoughts, guessing is in vain, since everything has been decided, what's the point of resisting? It's destined to be another drunken night away.

Zhong Bai had no choice but to take a good shower as required, then put on the hair oil, polish the leather shoes, and then everyone boarded the car sent by the embassy to pick up people on time.

When they arrived at the embassy, everyone realized that today's celebration banquet was not low.

The Chinese Embassy in Bern is the highest authority of the Chinese delegation in Switzerland, and although the ambassador himself was unable to attend today because of something else, a deputy ambassador took the lead in accompanying the delegation, which can be regarded as attaching great importance to the delegation of the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry.

After all, the level of people is very high, and in addition to the ambassadors to several permanent countries and a few special countries who are at the vice-ministerial level, the ambassadors to other countries and organizations are generally at the level of chief and deputy director-generals.

The ambassador of China to Switzerland is at the level of deputy director, and the deputy ambassador Qin Yuliang is at the level of the main department, which is one level higher than that of Lu Xudong.

Those who are familiar with the situation in China know that if there are no special circumstances, the reception will be based on the principle of the same level, that is, in principle, Deputy Ambassador Qin Yuliang is not required to be responsible for organizing the reception of this celebration banquet.

However, because the significance of this patent application is really not small, not only is it the first time that China has successfully applied for a patent in the name of an individual, but the embassy has also received Zhong Bai and the delegation who worked hard at the negotiation table to protect the dignity and interests of the country (this is reported by Wu Xiaoping afterwards, and it is also the job responsibility that he must undertake), and the Swiss Patent Office and related personnel have not let in the confrontation, even if the patent right is not applied for to the glorious deeds of the end, so the embassy discussed internally, and the level of the celebration banquet was so determined!

A total of 16 people came from both sides, that is, 6 from the delegation + 10 from the embassy.

The location was chosen in a nearby Chinese restaurant, and for those who go abroad, there is nothing they miss more than the food of their home country, which the embassy is deeply aware of.

Two tables, serious Lu cuisine, atmospheric and rich, delicious and not extravagant, the embassy also brought a piece of Moutai wine, the moment the wine box was just moved out, Zhong Bai felt a little weak.

Hell, are the comrades in the embassy so good at drinking?

Of course, Lu Xudong naturally talked and laughed with Vice Ambassador Qin Yuliang after being put at the table, talking a lot about the care and help of various embassies for the delegation this time, and with everyone's efforts, gratifying results have been achieved.

Vice Ambassador Qin Yuliang modestly said that this is the work of the embassy, and they have no spare effort to send an interpreter for the delegation, so that everyone has worked hard, the point is that this time there was almost a diplomatic incident, fortunately, under the leadership of Director Lu, everyone wisely and properly handled the contradictions, and did not damage the country's image and interests, which is a great thing that makes people happy.

So before a few bites of food were served, the table was immediately staggered, and glass after glass of 52-degree Moutai wine was swallowed into the stomach like boiled water.

As the owner of patent No. 3702, Zhong Bai is young and knows many Chinese, and is not afraid of foreign engineers at the negotiation table, and the story of slapping the table on the spot has been beautified into another version after half a day of circulation, and naturally became one of the focal figures at the table soon after the opening.

The deputy ambassador, the counsellor, the deputy counsellor, and the secretary all came to drink with him alone, and the poor industrial genius almost did not fall under the offensive of a two-minute glass of wine.

Even if it's a five-dollar shot glass, you can't stand it if you don't eat and fight continuously.

Ye Xing, who was still a young cadre, stood up and gave Zhong Bai a look, signaling him to rest and eat some food first, and he took the initiative with a cup, which made Zhong Bai grateful to him.

Finally, the prescribed action was over, and in the next free arrangement, Lu Xudong really took Zhong Baixian and Deputy Ambassador Qin Yuliang to toast a glass of wine, and then pulled him next to Deputy Counselor Xiong Yuankun and spoke the familiar Tiandu dialect.

"Counselor Xiong, Xiao Zhong, this little fellow is really good, the pride of our Tianhe Province!" When Lu Xudong came up, he first buttoned up a countryman's hat, Zhong Bai knew that the next step was the toasting session, and he had already silently filled his wine glass.

"Well, young and promising, handsome and chic, win glory for the country!" Counselor Xiong is worthy of being a literati, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of witty words, and Zhong Bai was a little embarrassed.

He had no choice but to respectfully raise his glass: "Counselor Xiong, I heard Director Lu mention that you are also from our Tiandu, in Switzerland, which is thousands of miles away from the motherland, as a small fellow, I deeply understand that it is not easy to be outside, you have worked hard, I salute you!" ”

After that, Zhong Bai drank it all in one gulp, and his hot throat was now a little unconscious.

"Thank you!" Xiong Yuankun raised his head easily, there was not a drop left in the wine glass, and when he saw the amount of wine, he hung Zhong Bai.

After toasting and drinking alone, Lu Xudong began to get down to business: "Xiao Zhong, do you know why I brought you to toast Counselor Xiong alone?" ”

Zhong Baixin said Haven't you been selling this since the afternoon, if I knew where it would be so miserable, but his face could only cooperate with the state of a primary school student asking questions, and said, "This...... I really don't know, please show Director Lu. ”

Xiong Yuankun not only laughed when he saw Zhong Bai's innocent appearance as a junior: "Hahahaha, Director Lu, you must have told Xiao Zhong to be honest in advance, didn't you?" Look at the suffocation of people, you can hurry! ”

Lu Xudong saw that the effect was very good, and then he began to shake his burden: "Na, Counselor Xiong is younger than me, but he has a daughter three years earlier than my son!" It seems that I am studying in Tiandu University now, and I will graduate in July next year, right? ”
