When I returned to the "Oriental Times" newspaper office again, nearly three hours had passed since Zhong Bai took leave to leave the army.

Li Nanxin said that he would leave Zhong Bai to have dinner together, Zhong Bai had no choice but to excuse himself on the grounds that he would accompany the leaders to taste local food outside at night, but Li Nanxin still said unrelentingly: "Xiao Zhong, you are simply the living Lei Feng of the new era!" I did such a great thing and didn't even eat a meal, which is too much to say! Although we overseas Chinese in Switzerland are not rich, there is definitely no problem with a meal! ”

Zhong Bai smiled and said: "Hehe, President Li, I appreciate your kindness, but I really want to accompany the leaders to eat and buy things tonight, you also know that it is difficult for some leaders to go abroad once, and it is so far away to Switzerland, everyone is almost the first time to come, and I have to be a translator and guide for them by the way, let's keep this meal first, and eat it before leaving, okay?" ”

Li Nanxin laughed angrily: "That's okay!" Don't delay you to accompany the leader. In addition, I would like to ask you something, when is the right time to start advertising? ”

"Let's wait until our delegation leaves Switzerland." Zhong Bai thought about it and gave the time.

Li Nanxin asked a little puzzled: "Why?" Wouldn't it be better to strike while the iron is hot in the past two days? I estimate that even if you don't say it this week, the embassy will pass on the information about this matter to our newspaper, let us report it well, after all, it is the first time for Chinese people to apply for individual patents abroad, which is the light of the Chinese and a rare opportunity! ”

Zhong Baixin said, If you haven't left Switzerland yet, won't you call the comrades from the embassy together at that time, plus your newspaper and our delegation will have another dinner? I don't want to drink so much liquor anymore, it's really uncomfortable to have too much of that stuff.

So he shook his head and said: "Forget it, President Li, the embassy has already praised our delegation, and I don't want to be too high-profile, after all, doing things in a down-to-earth way to earn more foreign exchange for the country is the main purpose of my trip to Switzerland this time. ”

"Well, I can't see you're so steady. Xiao Zhong, if you hadn't been running with me for so long today, I really wouldn't have believed that you were a young man in your early twenties! Li Nanxin sighed: "Tut, your understanding and cognition of foreign patents, print media and advertising is really breathtaking!" To tell the truth, if you weren't for the fact that you are now the deputy section chief of a collective enterprise, I would have been really motivated to think of ways to get you to work in our newspaper! ”

Zhong Bai hurriedly waved his hand: "Yes, President Li, please spare me, don't talk about your newspaper, there are a lot of units that want me in Tianhe Province, I'm afraid I'm not having a good time during the Spring Festival after I go back, it is estimated that someone will run to the unit every day to find our factory director to transfer me away!" ”

Li Nanxin laughed and said, "Hahaha, isn't it very good?" The eyes of the leaders are bright, thousands of troops are easy to find, and talents like you stay in the county, it is really buried! Anyway, aren't we really going to eat together tonight? Why don't you hurry up and inform your leaders that our newspaper is the host, can you please invite the whole delegation? ”

"This thing really can't be done, their itinerary is all arranged today......" Zhong Bai shook his head, just wanting to hurry up.

"That'...... Is there anything else I can help me with? Li Nanxin asked with a smile.

Speaking of helping, Zhong Bai patted his head and remembered!

The reason why I asked Wu Xiaoping to ask Director Lu for leave at that time was not to exchange a little more Swiss francs for everyone?

This afternoon this is so efficient that I have been running around, and I almost forgot about this most "important" thing!

So Zhong Bai immediately said: "President Li, there is really something to trouble you!" ”

"You're welcome, you can just say something!" Li Nanxin immediately put on the posture of a strong woman.

Zhong Bai thought for a while, and after roughly estimating a figure in his mind, he said: "I want to ask President Li to help our delegation exchange some Swiss francs......

"You name it!"

"Well, about 1,000 Swiss francs, the leaders don't have enough foreign exchange to shop, but I don't have so much yuan on me, if you believe me, wait until I go back and ask the leaders to collect the money tonight, and come back tomorrow to ...... you," Zhong Bai said cautiously.

Unexpectedly, Li Nanxin was happy when she heard this number: "What else do I have to believe in you with this money?" Wait! ”

Without saying a word, she went to the finance room, and directly found out that Na took 1,500 Swiss francs in cash and stuffed it to Zhong Bai!

"Well, that's all we have in our newspaper right now. Of course, I'm not using public funds, but I'll go to the bank to take out my own savings and supply them to the newspaper after you're gone, and I hope you have enough here. Li Nanxin smiled.

Rub, Zhong Bai looked at the heavy 1500 Swiss francs in cash, and was speechless in surprise!

Originally, he thought that the amount of 1,000, but he felt that the other party might not be able to take it out immediately, after all, this was 1981, and 1,000 Swiss francs was almost more than 7,000 yuan, which was basically equivalent to the salary of a ten-year-old worker in the county fertilizer factory for 5 years, but he didn't expect the other party to not only take it, but also gave an extra 500 Swiss francs!

Seeing Zhong Bai's shocked look, Li Nanxin patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Xiao Zhong, what are you still doing in a daze?" Are you afraid that I will give you counterfeit money? Rest assured, it's all real Swiss francs, and you can go to the bank to verify the authenticity! ”

Zhong Bai hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I don't doubt you...... It's just that this number is inevitably too big to bother you. ”

"What's the trouble? Anyway, our "Oriental Times" has also been rooted in Switzerland for more than ten years, and I can still get this money personally, otherwise what would I do here when I left my hometown? You just take it first, rest assured! Li Nanxin replied lightly.

Turtle turtle, it seems that he still underestimated the power of overseas Chinese in this era, Zhong Bai said in his heart.

He thought that 1,000 Swiss francs was the limit, but he didn't expect to hear President Li say this, it seems that 1,500 Swiss francs is not a problem at all!

And the other party definitely really trusts himself, looking for a private person to exchange foreign currency, and not to say that it does not meet the regulations, just say that the most basic principle of the transaction, that is, to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and he just opened his mouth, President Li Nanxin directly slapped this huge amount of money in his own hands without saying a word, and this trust can be seen!

"Okay, then I'll go back to the leader and get the money together, and I'll send it to you as soon as possible tomorrow." Zhong Bai waved his hand, and then left the "Oriental Times" newspaper!
