Because of the mention of his son, Professor Ye's interest was raised, and he got up and took down a photo album from the decorative shelf, and approached Shen Linxi's side: "Girl, look! ”

With a curiosity, Shen Linxi opened the first page of the album, and a seven-inch color photo immediately appeared in front of her - the photo showed a tall and handsome soldier, wearing the blue helmet she imagined on his head, combined with the full armament of the whole body, it looked extremely resolute, heroic, and domineering.

Shen Linxi saw that his heart was surging, his cheeks were feverish, and his admiration was overflowing: "Uncle Xiaohui is really powerful. ”

She faced the big boy who was only more than ten years older than herself, and her heart rippled. The tall image of the other party seemed to tug at her girl's heartstrings.

Professor Ye obviously regarded this little son as his pride, and boasted about some trivial things in his son's daily life, which made her girlish heart yearn for it even more.

After Professor Ye's words came to an end, she continued to flip through the album. As a result, the second page turned out to be a photo in a frame. For Prof. Yip, it is important to place the most important photos on the front page of the album.

She looked at the young parents in the photo, and there were faint waves in her heart, how did they come together when they were classmates and teenagers, was it really a misunderstanding as her mother said?

She was just about to question Professor Ye, when she suddenly noticed that the young mother in the photo tilted her head slightly towards a boy with a big face in Chinese characters attached to her side, and in the end she married the father of two boys apart. This detail made her heart move, if her mother and father were in love at that time, they should stand close together, but her mother seemed very close to another boy.

She naturally knew the boy, so she asked Professor Ye curiously: "Grandpa Ye, where is Uncle Xing in the photo?"

Professor Ye also looked at the photo, and replied casually: "Like your father, he is also the person in charge of a major overseas project. ”

"Isn't he in the oil business?"

"Yes. He developed an oil field in North Africa and contributed to the energy of his country. ”

"North Africa?" She was shocked, "My mother is also in North Africa." ”

Professor Ye said happily: "Not bad. But your mother is preparing to build a Confucius Institute in North Africa, and she is working hard to spread Chinese culture. ”

Shen Linxi's suspicions rose, and he was about to ask something more, but was interrupted by a mobile phone ringtone.

Professor Ye immediately turned around to pick up the ringing phone.

She cast a curious look at him.

Professor Ye glanced at the caller ID and calmly answered: "Hey, Ruizhe? ”

A middle-aged male voice came from the mobile phone: "Teacher, are you at home?" ”

"Well, I've come back from my morning workout."

"Alright, get ready. I'll send a car to pick you up right away. ”

"Is there something wrong with me in such a hurry?"

"Tomorrow's international forum is about to begin. The city would like to ask for your opinion again. ”

Professor Ye said modestly: "What opinion can I have as an old man?" It's nice to be a special guest. ”

"You're not just a special guest, you're also our advisor, so you're welcome."

Professor Ye hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay, I'll go." ”

"Well, the city government car is only a few minutes away."

Professor Ye put down his mobile phone and made a helpless expression at Shen Linxi: "Girl, I can't accompany you." ”

Shen Linxi stood up: "Is Uncle Xu looking for you?" ”

"Well, it's the 'skinny monkey' on your mother's left in the photo. However, he has a pot-bellied poop now. ”

"Hehe, he's already the mayor of this city, can he not be blessed?"

Professor Ye laughed and said, "He's a fan of your mother." ”

"Really?"

"Well, he later revealed to me, the teacher, that among the girls in the class of '94, he was the only one who fell in love with your mother. However, he did not catch up. ”

Shen Linxi couldn't help but run to the frame on the decorative shelf. The photos inside are one size larger and clearer than those in the album. Mom is caught in the middle by several boys. On the right is Uncle Xing, who drills oil wells in North Africa. And on the left is the so-called 'skinny monkey', Uncle Xu. Judging from the photo, Uncle Xu really stood beside his mother like a flower messenger, but his mother tilted her head to the boy on her right. It seems that the misunderstanding that my mother said proved that my father was not her favorite back then. Could that mother's sweetheart be that Uncle Xing?

"Grandpa Ye, I want to verify one thing from you?"

Professor Ye didn't want to delay, and replied while turning around and running to the bedroom: "There is no time now, when this is over, let's have a good chat." ”

Shen Linxi was a little difficult to say because of some words, and suddenly lost his temper.

The next day, the Danhai Belt and Road International Forum was officially opened.

When the moderator of the forum invited Xu Ruizhe, the mayor of Danhai City, to speak in Chinese and English, a middle-aged man in a straight suit walked onto the pulpit amid warm applause-

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests. It is an honor for me to communicate with friends from five continents on this platform. This is a forum on the Belt and Road Initiative. It bridges the connectivity of countries around the world. In the past few years, it has benefited countries along the Belt and Road, and the infrastructure of many developing countries has been greatly improved and developed. China is making great contributions to the development of the world economy and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. As a coastal city in East China, Danhai City is a veritable window to the endpoint of the Belt and Road Initiative, and will carry more and play a constructive contribution······" Facing the guests of different colors sitting in the audience, Xu Ruizhe delivered an enthusiastic speech.

Professor Yip sat in the guest seat, listening to his students' speeches, and his old expression showed a hint of youthful brilliance. Of the seven students pictured in that photo, this student was the only one who worked in the city and held a high position. There's no reason why he shouldn't be proud of it. Of course, he couldn't help but think of several other students who were dedicating themselves to the Belt and Road Initiative overseas.

Zhang Yin was in the press gallery, listening to Xu Ruizhe's speech, and the picture of the interview in Cruella Port a few days ago flashed in her mind from time to time, which was enough for her to empathize.

There are also many foreign media reporters around her. Sitting next to her was a blonde, blue-eyed European journalist. Her name is Tias, she has been working and living in China for a long time, and she is not only a China expert, but also a good friend of Zhang Yin.

After Xu Ruizhe's speech, he won a round of warm applause from the audience.

Zhang Yin stood up excitedly and applauded for a long time.

Tias looked very curious and asked quietly, "Yin, you seem to be particularly excited today?" ”

"Yes. I have just returned from the Cruella port in Southeast Asia, and I am very impressed by Mayor Xu's speech. ”

Tias thought for a moment: "I've heard about the newly built port, and I know it's being built fast. But what does this mean for you, a country known as the 'infrastructure madman'? ”

Zhang Yin's eyes moistened: "Yes, our country's title of 'infrastructure madness' comes from the fact that many projects known as cross-century have been built in the past few years. But who knows how much wisdom and hard work of Chinese builders have been condensed behind these world-famous projects? Behind the fact that our country can manufacture so many unique projects, it highlights the industrious heritage of the Chinese nation. ”

"Yin, you look proud?"

"I'm proud of the hard-working builders."

Tias was infected by her: "The Chinese are amazing. It has not only created your own economic miracle, but also stepped into the center of the world economic stage through the economic strategy of the Belt and Road Initiative. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. We should not only do our own thing, but also make all countries in the world interconnected, highly integrated economically, and build a community with a shared future for all mankind, which is the responsibility of a major country. ”
