"What are you laughing at? Isn't 500 Swiss francs enough? Wu Xiaoping asked strangely when he saw Zhong Bai wanting to laugh but holding back.

"500 yuan here is not much, if you want to buy a better watch, I'm afraid you will be stretched......" Zhong Bai shook his head lightly and said: "Secretary Wu, you have to be mentally prepared, tomorrow the leaders will definitely ask for the exchange of foreign currency temporarily." ”

"Huh? Prices in Switzerland are so high? Now Zhong Bai's words have almost become a holy decree, and Wu Xiaoping has begun to panic in his heart when he sees him say this.

Didn't the comrades at the embassy say that 500 is enough?

Everyone has basically formed a consensus, anyway, they won't buy any electrical appliances here, after all, it is also a foreign country, and RB electronic products near China have overwhelmingly entered the domestic high-end families in the past two years.

Wu Xiaoping still didn't dare to accept this fact in his heart: "A watch costs hundreds of foreign currency? Is it that exaggerated? ”

"Of course. Switzerland is a country known for its handmade watchmaking and banking, and most of the powerful watchmakers here are ancestral crafts that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and Westerners pay special attention to handmade goods, so the prices are high. Zhong Bai began to patiently popularize science for the foreign secretary: "Of course, I am not 100% sure that the 500 foreign currency is not enough, but it may be more prepared to prepare a little more." ”

After speaking, Zhong Bai felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him, patted Wu Xiaoping's shoulder, and then slipped into the bed to sleep alone, making the foreign affairs secretary a little uneasy.

Little brother, you threw out the problem and went to sleep by yourself, how can I solve it, brother?

Poor Secretary Wu could only dig out his mind and silently think of a way under the lamp......

……

The next day, the weather was beautiful, the cloudy weather of the first two days, came a sunny day, in Bern, a famous garden city in Europe, the delegation because the main task has been completed, shopping mood is very good.

Only Secretary Wu was alone with dark circles under his eyes, listlessly walking behind the leaders silently, Lu Xudong asked him if he hadn't slept well, and this guy just smiled bitterly and shook his head without responding.

Everyone walked about 700 meters from the hotel, and Miao Lirong, director of the equipment department, finally came to his senses at this time, pointed to a store across the street in front and asked: "Hey, the Metz store in front is external, isn't it Secretary Wu?" ”

"Yes, there are some local Swiss crafts for sale." Wu Xiaoping nodded strongly, but his right hand kept pinching the few Swiss franc banknotes in his pocket, and silently muttered in his heart that he had to save money from the beginning, but don't let the leaders be too willful, and persuade them not to buy some goods that are not unique to Switzerland.

But a lesbian is a lesbian after all, although she is already the director of the equipment department of the Provincial Department of Industry, but the nature of shopping and looking east and west still exists in Miao Lirong.

Chocolates, cheeses, sweets and beef, some of Switzerland's most famous specialties, are nowhere to be found in this Metz store, and there is not even a single food item on board, because the containers are full of ......

Plaster sculptures, oil paintings, some newly printed philosophy books, and the like.

Wu Xiaoping acted as a translator, and after communication, he introduced these goods to the leaders one by one, and sure enough, after listening to the details of the goods and their prices, everyone quickly lost interest.

"Drawing...... It seems that the French and Dutch drew better, right? ”

"Philosophy should also be strong on the two German and Greek sides."

"These small plaster sculptures look weird, I don't understand what they're for......"

Leaders are not stupid, they finally have such a shopping opportunity when they go abroad, of course, they will not spend their precious foreign exchange on these goods whose spiritual effect is far greater than their actual effect, and besides, these things are not only sold in Switzerland.

Sure enough, after coming out of the Metz store, no one bought any of the goods, and everyone's faces were a little disappointed, except for Wu Xiaoping, who was at the back of the line, who looked a little more energetic.

Zhong Bai took advantage of everyone's inattention to lean, lightly touched the other party's shoulder, and laughed quietly: "Secretary Wu, this is the good idea you came up with last night?" Put the inconsequential Metz store at the end of the itinerary to the first place to discourage the leaders' desire to shop, this hand is a good one......"

"Shh......h Be quiet! Wu Xiaoping, who was told by Zhong Bai about the central matter, immediately covered his mouth, and said in a tone of being a thief: "That's not to blame you for getting up last night and saying that this bit of foreign currency is not enough, I can't do anything if I think about it, so I can only do it......"

Zhong Bai hurriedly took his hand away, and said with a smile: "Secretary Wu, in fact, I had a good way to tell you, but I happened to fall asleep when I was sleepy, and when I woke up, you arranged everything......"

If the work of the first two days is mainly on Zhong Bai's shoulders, then from today onwards, Wu Xiaoping will have to undertake a large number of tasks, and the leaders have been dissatisfied with their lives abroad in the past few days, and the comments after returning are also the evaluation of his work, which is very important, so there will be a situation last night when Zhong Bai proposed that there was not enough foreign exchange.

Wu Xiaoping immediately came to his senses: "Huh? Do you kid really have a way? What are you still hiding and tucking in, say! ”

Zhong Bai deliberately sold Guan Zi and said: "Hehe, you can say yes, but it's okay...... I have one condition, you have to do me a favor. ”

", we're both comrades who sleep in the same room, why are you busy just saying that it's on me!" Wu Xiaoping was so upright at this time, if it weren't for the leaders walking slowly two or three meters in front, he was afraid that his hands would really have to beat his chest.

"In the afternoon, I want to take half a day off to go to a place alone, you have to help me get it done." Zhong Baishen said mysteriously.

"What? Are you leaving the group for solo activities? This ......" Hearing this, Wu Xiaoping suddenly got stuck: "Xiao Zhong, you know the discipline of foreign affairs, we have all been specially trained for half a day before leaving, and it is taboo to go abroad and act alone!" What are you going to do? ”

"Don't worry, I will never do anything that is sorry for the motherland and the people!" Zhong Bai said with a righteous face: "Actually, it's also a business business. ”

"What are you talking about? Just report to Director Lu and get you the itinerary, and it's okay to make this one! Wu Xiaoping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was a business matter, but in a blink of an eye he asked strangely: "No, why do you want to go alone on business?" ”
