As a diplomat, Ivanov has been on assignment to China for three years.

But to be honest, he, the head of the office, actually has nothing to do in normal times, because the relationship between China and the Soviet Union has been in this way for nearly 20 years.

Therefore, compared with other embassies and consulates on the foreign affairs street of Guangfu, this place can really be said to be a crowd.

Looking at the situation of the people of country M and RB in those embassies running around all kinds of affairs every day, Ivanov sneered at them.

Isn't it just that some speculative Western capitalist countries have established diplomatic relations with China in recent years, and are so busy for the sake of interests?

Our Soviet Union is the first in the world!

Despite being thousands of miles away from home, Ivanov eats savory bread made from the most authentic Russian flour for lunch every day, accompanied by butter and potato soup, as well as beef stew.

Compared with the food of many cadres in his hometown, Ivanov of course knows very well that he has been exposed to the light of this job, if it were not for the fact that he was sent abroad in China, I am afraid that he would not have such a rich air supply, right?

Of course, the dessert after the meal tasted a little light, and he knew it was because the sugar wasn't added enough.

After all, the underserved parts need to be purchased locally, but the chef in the office is a bit reserved and doesn't like to go outside as much as he does.

You can't drink alcohol during the day, so let's have some vodka for dinner after work, Ivanov thought.

However, seeing that vodka is getting less and less, I can only wait for the end of the month to report to the country, and strive to secretly transport a little more wine in the next airlift.

As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Ivanov couldn't stop scrolling through the latest major Chinese newspapers on his desk; as a foreign affairs officer, there are many ways to gather intelligence under the condition of poor communication in ordinary times, and reading newspapers is also one of the most important ones.

Just before he could look twice, the blonde secretary came over: "Comrade Ivanov, there is an urgent call from Moscow. ”

"I'll pick it up right away." As soon as he heard that it was an emergency call from Moscow, Ivanov immediately put down his coffee and immediately got up and went to the communication room.

“…… Yes? The Supreme Leader has already spoken? Mmmm, please fax me a copy of the speech! ”

Putting down the phone, Ivanov began to rub his hands nervously, waiting for the fax machine next to him to print out the draft of the supreme leader's speech.

The news was nothing short of shocking!

The comrades on the phone told themselves that the latest speech made by the supreme leader in Tashkent clearly released a positive signal of friendship between the Soviet Union and China!

Although it will definitely take some time for this to be reflected in the actual work, Ivanov's high sensitivity still makes him excitedly begin to predict that soon his office will usher in spring, and it will not be less than those MD and RB embassies!

"Didi......"

After reading the hot speeches that had just been printed out from the fax machine, Ivanov was even more convinced of his judgment!

"Comrade Ivanov, there is a person outside the office who claims to be the manager of a private enterprise in China with a translator who wants to ask to see you." The secretary's voice always sounded so comfortable, but the content of this sentence made Ivanov feel even more comfortable!

"Huh? What are they going to do? Ivanov asked.

"According to the registered colleagues, after listening to the news report on the radio today, they decided to donate a batch of materials to us in order to enhance the friendship between China and the Soviet Union, and they came to the door." The secretary explained very clearly.

"Then don't let them in quickly!" Ivanov waved his hand, and his heart was so cool!

Joy from the sky!

I was just wondering when I would have a business, but I didn't expect it to be so fast?

Or is it a gift that strengthens friendship?

God, I, Ivanov, worked in the first three years of Canton and waited for this moment!

Ivanov was also calculating in his heart, and after reading the draft of the speech just now, he immediately realized that it was very likely that the people-to-people exchanges between the two countries would be one step ahead of the official exchanges, and that they would most likely appear in big cities, such as the capital or the Hujiang River.

I didn't expect that in less than five minutes, a Chinese enterprise came to the door?

That Nima is not in heaven yet? The Soviet Union has a total of three offices in China, and their Guangzhou office usually has the lowest status, who makes Beijing and Hujiang one political center and the other economic center?

Now seeing that his soy sauce office may grab the latest big news, Ivanov certainly will not miss it, after the secretary hurriedly left the notification door, the diplomat also walked to the dressing mirror seriously, carefully sorted out the collar of his shirt, and then went to the reception room to wait!

When he saw Yu Dongfeng and Zhong Bai for the first time, Ivanov clearly felt that the two of them were different from ordinary Chinese.

The neat shirts, vests, leather shoes, and oiled hairstyles are the most different from those Chinese people, the beards of both of them are cleanly shaved and look very refreshing.

And most unexpectedly, the two Chinese looked so young that Ivanov had the illusion that they were not yet twenty years old.

Of course, it cannot be said that Ivanov is just a few guesses, after all, it is normal for Slavs of the same age to be more mature and old than yellow people.

But the key is, is the purpose of these two people coming here just now true?

Don't let your bamboo basket be empty!

However, as soon as Zhong Bai spoke in his unusually fluent Russian, Ivanov's worries were less than half gone.

"Hello, Comrade Ivanov. This is Yu Dongfeng, the manager of our Huaguo Baifeng Trading Co., Ltd., and I am his translator Zhong Bai. Today we heard ......" on the radio"

“…… Therefore, when the first spring breeze of the revival of the friendship between China and the Soviet Union is blowing, as a private enterprise, we have the obligation to make a good start at this historic moment, so Baifeng Trading Co., Ltd. specially raised a batch of daily necessities for donation to Kharkiv City, the Ukrainian Republic of the Soviet Union, hoping to lay a foundation for this friendship. ”

Seeing the list, which was written in extremely standard letters, and even had Cyrillic letters written in a bit like a printed type, Ivanov saw two large words at a glance.

"Liquor."

"Sugar."

This, this, this and this ......!

No matter how serious the face is on weekdays, when it sees this kind of good news, it will bloom!

Ivanov felt that he had never had such a sincere smile in his life as he did today!

Ivanov exclaimed: "On behalf of myself, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks first of all to Baifeng Trading LLC for its generous donation! ”

"However, I can't accept this batch of supplies right away, please sit here for a while, I will report to Moscow, and wait for the domestic agreement before replying to you, wait a while!"

Ivanov jumped at a brisk pace like a ballet, and quickly flashed into the communication room.
