As the secretary of the leader, some things that happen outside should be reported in time to remind the leader to know, which is also the standard for being a good secretary.

"Mainly on the Internet, questioning Muyang's qualifications and experience, whether he can be qualified for the position of diplomatic ambassador, and whether he will disgrace the country, the problem is mainly focused on age, and the general reaction is that Muyang is too young."

"Anything else?" Minister Yang's face remained unchanged.

"Also, it means that our ministry is relatively hasty in appointing cadres, and no one can use these, and some people say that Muyang climbed up through relationships."

"Hehe, our decision can withstand the people's doubts and the test of the leadership, and besides, the appointment of the ambassador has been decided by the chairman and the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, how can it be hasty and fraudulent."

"I know about this, by the way, how are the preparations for the swearing-in ceremony?" Minister Yang asked.

"I'm about to report to you, it's ready, it's going to be held in the Olive Hall on Wednesday morning, Vice Minister Guo asked me to ask you if you will participate then." The secretary said.

"What do I have for that day?"

"You're going to the G-8 Foreign Ministers' Meeting on Thursday, and you may need to be a day early." The secretary said.

For such a high-level foreign minister-level meeting, many things need to be communicated privately, so Minister Yang must arrive a day in advance, and it seems that he has no time to attend.

"In this case, you can let Vice Minister Guo and Assistant Zhang represent the ministry, and then let the reporters report in depth and explain it, and these doubts will naturally be eliminated." Minister Yang said.

"Understood, Minister." The secretary quickly replied.

The old man put on his glasses and picked up a copy from the thick file on the table.

As soon as Muyang finished the training, he received a notice from the ministry asking him to prepare to participate in the swearing-in ceremony of ambassadors to foreign countries held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

There was no such ceremony before, it was only held in 2006, and it is the 13th time so far, and the number of participants this time is 8, and Muyang is among them.

At 9 a.m. on July 6, 2015, about 150 people were invited to the Olive Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including the families of the envoys, some central and state organs, local governments, relevant enterprises, educational and academic institutions, representatives of the news media, and some young students from universities and middle schools in Beijing.

Xu Youshan hugged Xiao Rongrong, Muyang's father Mu Shouli and stepmother and little sister Mu Chen, as well as uncle Song Xuquan's aunt Xu Hui, and even Muyang's grandfather Song Hongqi came.

Many people are holding cameras and mobile phones, taking pictures everywhere, and some people even use their mobile phones to take selfies and send micro messages directly. This swearing-in ceremony is also one of the activities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this year's public open day, so it is very free and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

In the side hall, when the 8 new ambassadors were waiting for the ceremony to be held, Mu Yang was wearing a dark gray suit, a white shirt inside, a red tie, and a well-arranged hairstyle.

Although he is younger, he has a lot of experience, and he naturally brings out a kind of prestige, and this majesty makes it easy for people to ignore his age.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the eight candidate ambassadors walked into the venue, and the venue immediately burst into applause.

Xiao Rongrong saw Muyang below, and shouted softly, "It's Dad." ”

Xu Youshan hugged her daughter, and at this moment she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.

"All stand and sing the national anthem!" With the voice of the host, everyone present stood up and began to sing the national anthem.

Subsequently, Zhang Yeyuan, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, read out the letter of appointment.

After the letter of appointment was read, Muyang waited for the ambassador-designate to turn around, raise their right hands, face the national flag, and take the oath, and the people stood up again.

"I solemnly swear that I will faithfully perform the sacred duties of an ambassador, be loyal to the party, the motherland and the people, resolutely implement the diplomatic line, principles and policies of the party and the state, be diligent and honest, self-denial and public service, and do my best to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, safeguard national dignity and national interests, and promote world peace and common development."

The voices of eight people echoed in the Olive Hall.

Ambassador Wang Xinyong, who is about to take up his post in Iraq, is already full of gray hair. He spoke at the ceremony as a representative of the envoys: "Today, for our new envoys, it is a day of a lifetime, we are about to go to different posts to take up new posts, and the military order has been made...... No matter where we go, no matter what kind of environment we face, the motherland will always be in our hearts. ”

At the end of the ceremony, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Guo delivered a message to the ambassadors-designate, and then introduced the resumes of the ambassadors.

When talking about Muyang, Vice Minister Guo said: "You have also seen that among our eight new ambassadors, there is a young and handsome young man, and this young man is Comrade Muyang, the ambassador who is preparing to go to Djibouti this time. ”

"Don't look at Comrade Muyang's youth, just think that he has shallow qualifications and poor ability, Comrade Muyang has also come step by step, and has completed the most arduous and dangerous work arranged by the ministry many times."

"Just last month, Comrade Muyang was the leader of the Somali Embassy Restoration Team, and after being bombed by a car bomb and the embassy was blown up, he withstood the pressure and set up the Chinese Embassy brand again in only 20 days, which shocked the media all over the world."

"So I believe that Comrade Muyang will be able to make greater contributions in his new post."

After the ceremony, everyone took a group photo, and many people also ran up to the stage to take photos with the ministers and ambassadors.

Muyang's family also got together, looking for someone to give them a large family, and came to a group photo in the olive hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to freeze this historical moment.

As the inauguration ceremony was broadcast, the original questioning voices on the Internet instantly changed the direction of the wind.

People searched for information and reports about Muyang's past.

"I think that although this Muyang ambassador is younger, he may not be able to do a good job, look at what people are doing in Somalia, under such complex and dangerous conditions, suffered from car bombs, and established embassies twice, this credit should be reused."

"Some people question people's academic qualifications, as a cadre of the Beijing Foreign University Academic Committee, I can say responsibly that Ambassador Muyang's academic qualifications are real, if you don't believe it, you can come to the school to check, please don't slander the professionalism of Beijing Foreign University at will."

"I think Muyang's resume is more convincing than those who have become mayors and deputy mayors in their 20s in China."

The turmoil subsided.

Three days later, Muyang said goodbye to his family and boarded a plane to Djibouti. (To be continued.) )
