Chapter 404: Arrival in the United States
PS: I may have to change the update time in the future, with advance notice, it will be changed to about 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the morning.
"Diplomatic work undertakes the important mission of safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests, and diplomats should know the overall situation, stress politics, understand diplomacy, be loyal, responsible, rigorous, and disciplined, and strive to make positive contributions to China's diplomatic cause."
"We must strengthen our belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics, resolutely implement the party's and the state's foreign line, principles and policies, firmly establish a sense of national awareness, and loyally safeguard national interests. It is necessary to strive to study the knowledge of diplomatic work, master the art of diplomatic work, and improve the ability of diplomatic work. It is necessary to inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of the diplomatic front, work hard, be willing to make contributions, strictly observe discipline, faithfully perform their duties, and fulfill well the tasks assigned by the party and the state. ”
During the pre-departure training, Foreign Minister Yang personally came to the large conference room and gave a lecture on diplomacy.
In this rotation, there are ambassadors from 11 countries, 23 counselors, and the rest are first secretaries to attachés, but in general, all are diplomats.
This rotation is the largest rotation in recent years, and it is also the one with the largest number of people and the most position changes, so the ministry attaches great importance to it, but these people are all selected talents at all levels, and they are all genuine.
The training lasts for four days, followed by a week off, which is to give all those who are preparing to expatriate a few more days to spend with their families, after all, it will be a long-term separation.
After Muyang and Xu Youshan finished the engagement ceremony, they told Xu Youshan that they wanted to buy a house. Xu Youshan said that it is good here now, although the house is old. But the location is in the Third Ring Road.
However, Muyang is still a little dissatisfied, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is at No. 2, Chaoyangmen South Street, Chaoyang District. And their current house is in Haidian District, a little far away, and Muyang also thinks that Xu Youshan lives better, and he is not short of money, so it is better to buy a house in the bank.
Muyang also lived in the capital in 2017 for half a month in the mission time and space, although he didn't specifically inquire, but he could learn about it by reading the news newspapers. Housing prices in later generations are still rising, and the houses in the school district have reached more than 100,000 yuan per square meter, and the houses in the third ring road outside the second ring are 6 or 70,000 square meters.
It's 2011, Muyang asked, more than 30,000 square meters, decisively buy a house, even if it is not for value-added, we can't wait for the price to rise in the future.
As for to buy. Just buy a good one, preferably near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so that it is convenient to commute, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is on the edge of the Second Ring Road. Beyond the Third Ring Road, this is a particularly expensive place, and there are still very few listings.
But there is always a way to do it. Finally, through the intermediary, I chose a more preferred second-hand building. Duplex top floor, 235 square meters up and down. 31,000 per square meter, it is said that there is also a 20-square-meter viewing balcony, Muyang is a little tempted.
Today, Muyang is on vacation, so he pulled Xu Youshan to prepare to go to see the house.
Although the house is a second-hand house, it has only been built for less than two years, and it is still a rough house, without any decoration, and there is no difference from a new house.
However, Muyang prefers this, if the other party decorates it and it is not the style he likes, he has to re-do it, which is actually more troublesome, so that painting on a blank piece of paper can better achieve his satisfaction.
Standing on the viewing balcony, Muyang hugged Xu Youshan's waist, looking at the scenery in the distance, the gentle wind blew over, and he felt a little autumnal.
"How is it here, are you still satisfied?" Muyang asked.
"It's good, I like it here, and I also like this viewing balcony, you can bask in the sun, but it's too expensive, more than six million." Xu Youshan said.
"If you like it, you don't have to worry about money." Muyang Road.
"Where did you get the money?" Xu Youshan asked.
"Don't worry, it's not for the old man, it's all earned by me, hehe, and it's all taxed, it's clean." Muyang Road.
Xu Youshan looked at Muyang with bright eyes, and said in a somewhat admiring tone: "I didn't expect that my husband, you are so good at studying, it turns out that you are so good at making money, how old you are, you have earned more than 6 million." ”
"Wife, you haven't fully discovered my strength, and who told you that I only earned more than 6 million." Muyang Road.
"How much is that?" Xu Youshan was even more surprised.
"Twelve million, dollars."
Xu Youshan is a scholar, her brain calculates quickly, and after a little thought, she calculates that the current exchange rate with the US dollar is 6.5 to 1, and the 12 million US dollars is 78 million yuan, God, this is a very large asset, more powerful than her father's struggle for decades.
"Since my husband is so powerful, then buy here, I like it here, it's close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it's much more convenient to go to work." Xu Youshan immediately made a decision.
If my wife has something to say, she will naturally do it immediately, contact the intermediary to prepare to buy a house, this is a big deal, the intermediary naturally acted quickly, and all the formalities were completed in two days, and since then, this house belongs to Muyang and Xu Youshan.
"Wife, I'll leave the decoration to you, anyway, don't worry, you take it slowly, just treat it as a leisure activity." Muyang said.
"Then what if you don't like it." Xu Youshan was a little worried.
"What my wife likes, is what I like, if I don't like it, it must be a problem with my vision, wife, don't worry about it, as long as you are there, I think it must be the best home in the world." Muyang said.
Xu Youshan was intoxicated by Muyang's sweet words, and sent it out, and the two of them rolled up the sheets, lingering in love.
Happy and bitter, on October 27, Muyang finally stepped on the flight to the United States.
When they were separated, their father Mu Shouli, stepmother Li Suyun, little sister Mu Chen, eldest aunt, cousin Song Xi, second uncle and second aunt, and Xu Youshan came to see them off.
Thousands of instructions, although nagging, but they are all the instructions of the family, Muyang flew to the other side of the ocean with full of love.
Washington, USA.
After the plane landed, the staff of the US Embassy came to pick up the plane, and this time the number of new personnel sent to the United States was also the largest, after all, the size of the embassy in the United States is the largest, and the number of people is also the largest, so naturally there are many people sent.
The office building of the Chinese Embassy in the United States is located in the northwest district of Washington, D.C., covering an area of 10,796 square meters and a construction area of 39,900 square meters. It is bordered by Van Nuys Avenue to the north, International Street to the west, and International Road and Central Park to the south.
The exterior of the office building is made of French limestone, which is a delicate color and texture, in harmony with the many limestone federal buildings in the Washington area. The new office building of the Embassy in the United States was designed by the internationally renowned architect I.M. Pei and built by Chinese construction personnel. The office building was officially put into use on April 1, 2009.
I.M. Pei is the Chinese architect who designed the pyramidal exterior door of the Louvre. (To be continued.) )
