Chapter 9: Drinking Party Distress (I)
The evening reception was held in a four-star hotel near the airport, the whole Donigo, the hotel near the airport is still like a point, before the war, the tourists who came to Doniago, also mostly stayed in the airport hotel, and then, they took a long-distance tourist bus to go down to visit the scenery, to travel to an African country like Donigo, tourists just come to see the animals, see the scenery of the savannah, and do not care about the people of this country, let alone want to know what local folk customs, so, although there are not many tourists who come to Doniago in the past few years, but for the promotion of the economic life of local residents, the positive effect is minimal。
This four-star hotel, which translates to "dawn" in Chinese, is the best hotel in Doniago, and Dean Zikawi has chartered the largest banquet hall in it, and the reception is quite luxurious, with a golden hall where gorgeously dressed men and women chat and laugh.
Most of the people present were celebrities from Doniago, but there were not many people from the hospital, only a few executives were present, and four doctors from the acupuncture center and Omar, a hospital guard, were also invited because of Zhang Sheng's relationship.
Zhang Sheng has heard that the elite class of various power institutions and state-owned enterprises in Donia under the rule of the military government is particularly **, and now he has seen it with his own eyes, this is true, Dean Zikawi, but this drinking party held with the public funds of the hospital is justifiable, and it seems that it is not a problem for all the guests at the reception, as if it is a matter of course.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Sheng felt that he had returned to China twenty years ago, and I heard that in China twenty years ago, there was also a problem of zài strict zhòng, but compared with the current Donia, it is also a small thing.
The fragrant breeze struck, Alba came to Zhang Sheng, she said a little shyly: "Teacher, thanks to you, it is the first time for me to participate in such a cocktail party, and it is also the first time to come to such a prosperous hotel, thank you." Obviously, she wanted to make a good impression on her teacher in front of her, so she mustered up the courage to communicate with her, but the poverty of her childhood made it unnatural for her to have such a lavish drinking party, not to mention that this teacher came from a prosperous and powerful country far away, and he was an extremely great major officer in that country.
Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "I want to thank you for your hospitality." Glancing at Alba, the black evening dress on her body should have been cut by herself, but the handiwork was very good, and she was even more sexy and charming.
"Teacher, I, I'm not rude, right?" Seeing Zhang Sheng look at herself a few more times, Alba looked at her clothes with some trepidation, she had never participated in such a high-level party, she was very worried about whether she was decent.
Zhang Sheng smiled dumbly, but he didn't expect that this sexy little wild cat, who seemed to be full of wild temptation, had such a sensitive mind, it seemed that he grew up in the slums.
"No, you're pretty. Zhang Sheng smiled, raised his glass to clink glasses with her, and said, "Take it easy, it's nothing." ”
"Hmm,...... Thank you, teacher. Alba respectfully held the wine glass in both hands, clinked glasses with Zhang Sheng, and made Zhang Sheng smile.
"How old are you this year?" Zhang Sheng asked casually.
"Fifteen. Alba's respectful answer stunned Zhang Sheng and said, "That',...... Oh. And he asked no more. I wanted to ask her how old she was in college, but I immediately knew that Alba should not have received a university education, and it is estimated that she participated in medical training courses and other things before graduating from junior high school, and was admitted to the acupuncture center training class from the medical training class.
"Mr. Major, today you are the protagonist, why are you in the corner. Tsikawi walked over with his glass in hand, but immediately noticed Alba hiding in a darker corner of the light, and laughed and said, "I was talking to your beloved." "Smacking his lips in his heart, his heart said that it was a pity, this child, a year's time, raised too fast, the ugly duckling became a white swan, and his heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratch, but unfortunately the acupuncture class is the territory of the Chinese, and it is not good for me to interfere for a while, now look at it, maybe such a superb stunner is not something that I can touch, for the sake of the future, it is better to break this absurd idea.
"Come, Mr. Major, and let me introduce you to some of my good friends. With that, Dean Tshikawi looked at Alba with a smile and said, "Doctor Alba, don't you mind if your teacher comes to accompany you later?"
Alba shook her head and said, "Don't mind." ”
Dean Tshikawi led Zhang Sheng to another circle in the banquet hall, where he was introduced to the powerful figures of the city government, including the head of the health department, the chief of the police department, and even a deputy mayor.
These magnates were extremely polite to Zhang Sheng, and they were full of words.
Zhang Sheng knew that in fact, the acupuncture center was originally political, mainly to serve the upper class of the Donia, and in an African dictatorship like Donia, it was inevitable to establish a good relationship with its elites from a diplomatic point of view and from the perspective of national interests.
Donia, like some poor African countries, claims to have free medical care in public hospitals, but in fact it is just a slogan, first of all, its medical construction is extremely backward, there is no perfect medical security system at all, and then a so-called medical treatment is free, but the drugs are not free, and the price of many drugs is very expensive, and the poor people simply cannot afford it.
Therefore, the No. 3 public hospital where the acupuncture center is located is not a paradise for the poor class, and it is even more impossible for the acupuncture center to be open to the public unconditionally, but there are many dignitaries and nobles who come to see the doctor.
This is also because there were several batches of acupuncture doctors in the past, such as ten years ago, the hemiplegia of the princess of the Fengban Kingdom of Donia was cured in the acupuncture center, and many Donian dignitaries, such as the former prime minister, the commander of the military region and the diplomats of some countries' embassies in Donia, etc., have been cured of difficult diseases in the acupuncture center, so the acupuncture center has a very good reputation in Donia.
It can be seen from the attitude of these powerful dignitaries towards Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng smiled and chatted with them, which had nothing to do with what he really thought of them in his heart.
Moreover, in an African country like Donia, where most of the people are in a state of ignorance and there are many ethnic contradictions, even if these rulers are ousted, it will only be two outcomes, either another dictator and a new interest class will come to power, or the country will be plunged into civil war, as evidenced by the current situation in many countries.
From the perspective of the great power game, who really cares about the people at the bottom of Donia? Whether it is China or the United States, all they care about is whether they are close to themselves or not.
"Mr. Major, you live in an apartment in the 20th arrondissement, and your daily life is a big problem, I have thought about it, and the hospital will solve the problem of maid service for you. After greeting those dignitaries and accompanying Zhang Sheng to go back, Dean Zikawi said with a smile.
Zhang Sheng smiled: "That's great." "When China first sent a medical team over, there were not many attendants on board, but in the 10s, when the Chinese diplomatic department coordinated the accommodation conditions of the foreign-aided doctors with the aiding foreign countries, they usually asked the host country to provide maid services for the foreign-aided medical teams, of course, just nannies who did laundry and cooked.
"I'll try to help you find a native of yours so that you can eat delicious Chinese food," Tsikawi said. I know a few merchants of your country who do business in Doniago, and I ask to see if they have any family members who are willing to help you, after all, it is not rude for them to serve you, you are all compatriots, and you are a noble officer of your country, they should be happy to help you. ”
Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart that it may not be, the country is different from your military government system, what kind of aristocratic officer is just a stupid soldier in the eyes of others.
But Zhang Sheng still smiled and thanked Dean Zikawi for his kindness.
