The purpose of receiving foreign guests is to positively promote the image of our new country through the voices of this group of internationally influential journalists.

Therefore, it is not about how sincere our intentions are, how formal and solemn our reception is, but how to make foreign guests happy.

"I didn't make up the word "homely", did I?"

Chen Jun nodded thoughtfully.

Although there are quite a few comrades who have experience in studying abroad, there is still a big gap between the overall ideological consciousness and that of the international community.

Not to mention these external constraints, just because a workshop worker at the Red Star Rolling Mill, who has never been abroad, has become a foreign expert by relying on the "self-study" of the DC District Library for several years, and he is more competent than those who specialize in receiving foreign guests.

This forced them to calm down and reflect carefully.

After the meal, the foreign native hats were still in high spirits, as if they had been aggrieved for a long time and could finally squander them wantonly.

Wei Ping'an had already made plans.

There are some things that ordinary workers can buy in limited quantities, and Wei Ping'an can't dare to buy them if he wants to, even if it's Ai Mudi's status, he can't ask for as much as he wants......

But for foreign guests, within a reasonable range, there is a response.

"Dominic, Elliott, Ferdinand, and Benson, would you like to change into our clothes here? Well, you can also order a few more cheongsams and give them to your mother and sisters when you get back......"

The answer, of course, is yes.

Out of the Xincheng fried sauce noodle restaurant, Wei Ping'an actually wanted to take them to Ruifuxiang.

It's a time-honored brand.

But after turning around and walking a few steps, I saw a woman wearing a beige embroidered cheongsam standing at the door of the silk shop to see off the customers, and then turned around and walked back.

Wei Ping'an looked a little familiar, so he took the lead and entered the door.

He can think, definitely not to see that the cheongsam woman has charm.

There is a lot of space inside, and there are satin and cloth on the left and right.

Now the waiters in every tailor shop can measure the size of customers, and there are also very skilled old tailors who are in charge of making finished products.

The old hats visited with great interest, and from time to time they picked it up and learned to knead it like others, as if they really understood.

"What do you call this friend?"

The cheongsam woman walked over and beckoned.

"Are you the boss here, or the hostess? Meet me, my name is Wei Ping'an. ”

In the previous life, Wei Ping'an was also a businessman.

BETWEEN BUSINESSMEN AND MERCHANTS, YOU CAN GET TO THAT POINT AT A GLANCE.

When Wei Ping'an saw this cheongsam woman, he seemed to smell the tacit understanding of "the same frequency".

Well, the commercial kind.

"Hehe, I'm the boss lady, and I'm also the boss, you can call me Boss Chen, is Comrade Wei here to visit, or to see the fabric?"

Wei Ping'an deliberately looked at a few foreign boys who were looking around, as well as the three foreign affairs office officers who were with them, and then turned around and said:

"Well, make a few clothes for a few foreign friends, well, the three over there are also leading officers of the Foreign Affairs Office."

The word "also" leaves room for the other party to "make up for the brain".

The smile on the cheongsam woman's face suddenly bloomed a little more.

"Well, actually, Boss Chen, the price can float appropriately later."

"Hey, Comrade Wei is trying to take care of my business?"

"I mean...... I also came to make two clothes when I went back, and it was cold, and I saw that my tunic had not yet landed in winter. ”

"Giggles, Brother Ping'an, you can do this, okay, I understand the meaning, don't worry."

"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Chen."

From the simple conversations, Wei Ping'an reached a consensus with Boss Chen.

This feeling of trying the knife made Wei Ping'an very comfortable.

There is even a kind of spanning half a century, and I have re-experienced the days of starting a business after walking out of school.

And well, kickbacks have been around since ancient times, and they have never been cut off.

Wei Ping'an is just happy, and he does it casually, and he doesn't really want that kickback.

In the understatement, there is a freewheeling.

More importantly, in the future, you can become famous and solve some worries.

"Hey, don't bother, I want to thank you for taking care of my business."

Maybe in Boss Chen's thoughts, Wei Ping'an is the kind of senior cadre who specializes in receiving foreign guests, this business has been completed, and there will be less similar ones in the future?

"Sister Chen, you can introduce our cheongsam more in a while, foreign friends come to visit, you have to bring some local characteristics back."

After greeting him, Wei Ping'an called Ban Sen over.

"This is the boss here, look at the cheongsam on her body, it's not bad......"

A few young people looked at each other, but Boss Chen was not embarrassed, and turned around to let them see the effect.

In the end, Ferdinand ordered two cheongsams, and Elliott and Dominic, worthy of being classmates at Tulane University, ordered five each......

Benson also ordered two sets, and what he wanted was Boss Chen's body, saying that his sister's figure should be similar to the boss......

They can only talk about the approximate height and size, or there are references and people, if not, they rely on comparisons, Wei Ping'an helps translate, anyway, it's not bad.

Isn't that just a feature?

Foreign women generally have large skeletons and are not suitable for cheongsam.

Whenever you wear it, almost all of them belong to the buyer's show collection.

As for the offer, I think it's a lot inflated.

I didn't see the master at the counter staring at him for a moment.

Maybe Ye Wenxiu, Chen Jun and Liu Zhiyong didn't know and didn't notice it, but Wei Ping'an was always paying attention to it, and he naturally knew it.

Tearing white cotton cloth to make a T-shirt, Wei Ping'an drew a sketch, which is what an ordinary shirt looks like, dark blue old coarse cloth for pants and jeans.

The trouser leg is straight, and the hem is on the thin leg side.

These things are a bit nondescript in this era, but Wei Ping'an just asked for it, all he thought about was a good idea, anyway, in the end, foreigners wore it, and he suddenly had a bad taste, and he planned to wear clothes in the future version and take pictures.

Moreover, there are foreigners in front of you......

That's all.

Then there are the mille-feuille old cloth shoes with inline liters, which look ordinary and are very comfortable on the feet.

Zhang Yiyuan's tea house, this is Wei Ping'an's goal before going out.

"Guys, I helped you before, and now I need your help......"

Ye Wenxiu's eyes widened, and he looked at Wei Ping'an like a monster.

Wei Ping'an turned his head and smiled at Ye Wenxiu.

Along the way, he also got to know the personalities of the three people.

Ye Wenxiu didn't shy away from this matter, and he also had a bit of a stone to ask for directions.

"Hey, you're a little too upright."

"For them, we're all friends, and as friends, it's normal to help each other. And you know, if it weren't for them, even if I had money, I wouldn't have been able to buy too many good teas......"

"I see, Felix, we'd love to help, oh no, maybe, we really bought it, how about it as a gift for Felix?"

The latter words were said by Dominic who turned around and said to a few other people.

"Hey, it's already a great favor for me to ask you guys to buy it for me."

One person carried three catties and two catties of tea, and Benson bought five catties, almost all the new tea.

Green tea, black tea, both, jasmine tea is the most.

Zhang Yiyuan is a time-honored brand, and there are not many old teas, most of which are sold now.

This will win these customers, and it will not work if you don't sell it.

With the officials of the Foreign Affairs Office with them, we must not undermine friendly international relations.

"Brothers, are you tired? There's a tavern over there, let's go sit down and take you to feel what the life of a small citizen in the capital is......"

In fact, after so much chit-talk in an afternoon, there was no last sentence that made Dominic more excited.

Normally, this kind of place, this time of time, they can't touch this kind of tavern.

It is also because the staff of the Foreign Affairs Office are too restrained and conservative, which has led to the young foreign journalists becoming thorns.

In the end, a situation was almost formed in which the two sides fought each other.

It's cool today.

If you are looking for a guide, you have to find a brother like Wei, which is enough to be a friend.

Wei Ping'an has received unanimous praise from foreign friends.

"Alas, since you regard me as a friend, I also hope that the reports you handle will not misinterpret our reality too much, if the negative impact is too great, I, as the person who has received you, will be very severely criticized and taught a lesson......

"Comrade Wei, how can you say that...... It's not ......"

Ye Wenxiu truthfully fed back the meaning of this passage, so that Chen Jun and Liu Zhiyong understood the risk of Wei Ping'an's statement for the first time.

Foreigners are rectums, and if you dare to say that, they may turn against you immediately.

It's not something you can do by sending a few clothes and saying a few nice words.

It's not that this kind of thing hasn't happened before, and the reaction caused by it is quite bad.

If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have really rushed to the hospital and found a rolling mill worker through the Metallurgical Department to take up the post.

But so far, it seems that the effect is not bad.

"No problem, I think I'll explain it to you on the basis of facts."

"At least what I saw and tried today was great!"

"We are brothers, if you are trained, you can call me, I will definitely choose to support you."

"Hopefully the next few days will be like today, then I don't think anything unpleasant will happen, I promise."

Ye Wenxiu was a little dumbfounded.

This situation was nothing short of the nightmare complaint she had recently experienced that was messed up.

How can it be?

What was done?

Ye Wenxiu glanced at Chen Jun and Liu Zhiyong.

A few clothes, a meal of fried noodles, a few pairs of cloth shoes, more than a dozen catties of tea, some pastries and snacks......

It's not as good as a fraction of the price of the original gift box.

"This person, we want the foreign affairs office!"

Chen Jun muttered to himself in his heart.

Chen Jun introduced himself and Liu Zhiyong as both officers, but in fact Chen Jun is the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office.

For such an important reception task, a complaint had just occurred, and a workshop worker was called, and the leadership team of the Foreign Affairs Office could not rest assured.

Let's take a look and check the checks, which is also the proper meaning.

Moreover, in fact, some of Ye Wenxiu's translations are real translations, and some are simple, and Chen Jun and Liu Zhiyong can also understand some of them.

Simple everyday language, speak slowly, and they can all listen to it.

If you really don't have a little foreign ink, you can't go to the foreign affairs office.

At least all three of them spoke Russian.

When I entered the tavern, there were already a few tables in it and I was drinking.

Some of the peanuts and small belly on the table, and some of the people who shared the table were chatting very happily, but the wine jugs of the two taels were also hand-handled.

Three teachings, nine streams and one should be entertained.

Ye Wenxiu's eyes were sharp, and when she entered the door, she saw a Russian girl.

I guess it's called Elena.

Wei Ping'an's determined guess.

It's just that they didn't have much opportunity to show Russian, because people speak Mandarin secretly.

Wei Ping'an is a strange face, most of the guests in the tavern are regular customers, living nearby, working nearby to make a living, a fresh face like Wei Ping'an, and a few foreign faces, it is really rare.

For a while, the tavern seemed to be silent, and it was only after a while that it became lively again.

"Hey, Master Cai, you open a tavern, why do you still make a living......

Standing at the counter was a middle-aged woman, and next to her was Master Cai, who was carrying things for him.

"You don't often see this part of the front door building, it's rare to come here, you must eat and drink well."

Master Cai's heart is a little inky, and he understands it in his stomach.

At the beginning, I felt that this kid was not simple, but uh couldn't take care of his own business, and he remembered that there was such a number one person in his heart.

Today, seeing a few foreigners with them, it's quite strange that people are tall and big.

How many times have the Soviets seen it, and this is the first time that they have encountered it in other places.

can receive such foreign guests, and can also bring this kind of folk tavern, this Master Wei is not an ordinary person.

Be careful.

After saying hello to the accountant at the bar, Master Cai brought side dishes and wine jugs to Wei Ping'an's table.

Five people gathered around the table, and three people from the Foreign Affairs Office gathered around the table.

There is no greeting, and naturally separated.

Because of the reception, Wei Ping'an couldn't tell when he would be able to rush back, so his daughter-in-law couldn't pick it up after work for the time being.

But it's just for one day.

Because after today, Wei Ping'an also understands the situation and knows it in his heart.

You can make a travel plan according to the situation and set aside the time to pick up and drop off your daughter-in-law.

"Drink a little wine to relieve fatigue, today everyone go back and have a good rest, and tomorrow I will take you to other places, you have not tasted a lot of special snacks."

Wei Ping'an painted cakes.

Foreign native hats, quite eat this set.

"Let's talk about what's fun and delicious first."

"That's a lot, don't talk about other places, let's eat fried noodles, there is Tong Ren Tang, which was established in 1669, Chinese medicine, you know? …… Quanjude ...... in 1864"

"Quanjude, I know, roast duck, delicious ......"

“…… Wu Yutai in 1887...... Daoxiang Village ...... in 1895"

Wei Ping'an pointed to the pastries on the table: "The south flavor is open in the north, the front store is the back factory, this Daoxiang Village is the first ...... to produce and operate Nanwei food."

“…… In 1672, Rong Bao Zhai produced and operated calligraphy and painting paper, fans, and screens...... It's also food...... It was established a year ago with the Tong Ren Tang of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Wang Zhihe ......"

“…… Tongheju in 1822, authentic and authentic Shandong cuisine, one of the eight major cuisines, is the first of the eight major residences......"

Next to him, Chen Jun looked at Liu Zhiyong and Ye Wenxiu, who were fascinated, with a complicated expression.

I thought: As a professional department for the reception of foreign guests, I should propose a meeting to discuss how to improve our own capabilities.

Just looking at Comrade Wei Ping'an's performance this afternoon, it is a very good direction.

Well, this person, when you go back, you have to talk to Lao Zhou as soon as possible, and you must transfer his relationship.

This kind of talent, put in a rolling mill as a worker, is simply a cannon bombarding mosquitoes.

He should come to our foreign affairs office, only here can he give full play to his talents and actively make more contributions to the country.

Wei Ping'an's explanation was still a combination of Chinese and English, because it was necessary to "report" the general content of what he said to the comrades of the Foreign Affairs Office who were observing.

Wei Ping'an's relationship with foreign friends and the Foreign Affairs Office is roughly as follows:

Foreign friends are in charge of Wei Ping'an, who is monitored by the Foreign Affairs Office, and always pays attention to avoiding some serious content leakage and passive sabotage.

Passive sabotage definitely does not exist, and Wei Ping'an's approach and the feedback from foreign friends have given the inexperienced Foreign Affairs Office a good idea for improvement.

"Boss, take two more pots of four taels of wine and two plates of appetizers."

Wei Ping'an just ordered, and then Liu Zhiyong got up and went to the counter to show his documents, and then took out the money.

It's the same with jajanjangmyeon.
