The next day, Yin Jie said goodbye to An Hong and his wife in tears and boarded the train to Sulik.

The train is still very crowded. The carriage she chose featured a group of young men in Juventus uniforms, laughing loudly over beer. Yin Jie looked out the window, guessing in her heart that these people should not be S people who abide by the rules, and she regretted a little that she didn't book the "Tranquility" carriage. Fortunately, the young men got off the train noisily in Castien, and the carriage suddenly fell silent.

In order to make this experience more complete, Yin Jie chose to try the train meal in the dining car. The dining car is spacious and bright, with a lot of people but no noise. The waiter led Yin Jie to sit down at a table covered with a snow-white tablecloth. Yin Jie ordered a vegetable salad, beef stew with potatoes, and a red velvet cake.

The so-called caloric problem has been put behind her, and she comforts herself with words, "It's all for work." The excuse seemed pretty good, but with self-comfort, she was finally able to taste the delicious food with peace of mind.

The waiter smiled and brought a small basket of delicious crusty bread and a plate of dipping sauces divided into three compartments: olive oil, basil sauce, and white cream sauce. Other dishes were also served. With the wonderful scenery outside the window, Yin Jie happily began to taste the only train meal on this trip.

Back in Haosen, Yin Jie sent a WeChat message to Erdmann to inform him that he had returned and that he planned to leave. Later, I went to the Xincheng commercial center to buy gifts for my family and friends, as well as several cheeses of different categories, and of course, I also made a special trip to the watch store to buy the Omega watch that I had taken anotice in the morning. I was checking out when I received a message from Erdmann asking if she would like to have dinner together. Yin Jie knew that Erdmann spent most of his weekends with his children returning from out of town. She politely declined, saying only that she would come to the door after dinner to say goodbye. She guessed that Erdmann might have some documents to bring back to the country.

After packing his luggage, Yin Jie pushed two boxes to the train station to check in. This is a baggage service unique to country S: passengers can check in by air in advance at train stations in more than 100 cities or resorts. Yin Jie's two boxes will be sent directly to Sulek Airport by the railway department, and will be sent directly to the imperial capital with her flight.

She went to the baggage drop-off counter at the train station and showed her ticket and passport. After filling out the form, she unexpectedly found that the staff at the counter actually looked like the famous French "big-nosed love saint"! After carrying the luggage onto the conveyor belt, she finally couldn't help but say:

"Sir, do you know Gérard Depardieu?"

The staff member was stunned for a moment, and continued to print the boarding pass for Yin Jie in his hand, grinning at the same time.

"Did anyone say that you resemble him?" Yin Jie asked.

He smiled and grimaced, touched his nose and patted his belly, and said humorously:

"Oh, some of them say that, but in the end they don't think I like it. My nose is 0.1 cm shorter than Gerard's, and my waist circumference is 5-6 cm smaller than his. ”

Yin Jie smiled and put the boarding pass and check-in receipt into the compartment of his carry-on leather bag, and happily waved goodbye to the big railway nose.

The cost of checking in each piece of luggage is 20 yuan, but it saves the trouble of dragging luggage on and off the train and checking it at the airport, which is really worth it.

When we met in the evening, Erdmann really handed her a large sealed envelope and asked her to take it back to China for Ning Haoran.

"It was given to him. Because Ning will travel to several countries to perform next, I am worried that there will be an accident, so I ask you to take it back. This is important and you must take special care to keep it. ”

"Don't worry, I'll keep it in my carry-on luggage. ”

Yin Jie was about to get up and say goodbye, and Erdmann asked a little unexpectedly:

"I thought you would ask about Lin Xia's disposition results. Aren't you interested in this?"

"I'm really interested, but I don't know if it's convenient to ask. Yin Jie replied a little sullenly, "But I believe you will make a fair ruling." ”

"If you want to know, I can tell you. She has been fired. Erdmann said.

Yin Jie fell silent.

Erdmann wondered what was going on with her. Yin Jie said sullenly that he was sorry for Lin Xia.

Erdmann patted her on the shoulder, and said nothing more to let her go.

That night, Yin Jie cleaned the dormitory inside and out. When you leave tomorrow, you just need to put a few things back in place and throw the keys in the mailbox.

The next day, Yin Jie carried a handbag on his back and boarded the train to Surik Airport. In addition to Ning Haoran's information, all she brought with her were goods that needed to be refunded at customs.

At Sulek Airport, she bought two bottles of Pinot Noir, which is unique to Country S, and a copy of Margaret Thatcher's biography, From Grantham to the Falklands, which made her carry-on luggage heavy.

Seeing that the time for boarding was approaching, she lined up at the boarding gate early. The person in charge of checking in and boarding the plane was an old gentleman over fifty years old, who was holding Yin Jie's boarding pass in his hand, looking at the boarding pass and then at Yin Jie, looking very confused.

Yin Jie asked him worriedly, "Excuse me... Any questions?"

"Well, there's a very big question!" he replied very seriously.

Yin Jie was a little frightened, she immediately found her passport and invitation letter and handed it over. The old gentleman finished reading them one by one, still frowning.

"Sir, what's wrong, can I do anything about it?" Yin Jie replied uneasily.

The old gentleman replied, "Ah, I don't think you can do anything. He then said: "This is a problem that only God can solve." The Jie Yin on the boarding pass is Mr., and you... No matter how I look at it, I should be a Ms. (Lady). ”

Yin Jie took the boarding pass and saw that the big-nosed gentleman at the train station had really knocked his gender wrong. It really shouldn't be talking to people at work.

She was still pondering how to explain it, but a smile bloomed on the face of the old gentleman in front of her. He took Yin Jie's boarding pass and scanned it, and then waved his hand quite elegantly, urging Yin Jie to go to the covered bridge.

After Yin Jie boarded the plane and sat down, he took out the biography he had just bought and read it.

This is the first volume of Margaret Thatcher's biography, which tells the story of her rise from the daughter of a retailer in Grantham to Prime Minister and the Iron Lady who won the Falklands War in 1982. The biographer, Charles Moore, is a veteran journalist for the weekly Spectator and The Daily Telegraph, and he is also a consummate biographer. Due to his close intellectual and ideological proximity to Margaret Thatcher, a very close friendship was formed between the two. And because of this friendship and trust, he was selected from many biographers to write this book. After Charles was granted privileged access to Margaret Thatcher's private papers, he spent 16 years researching and interviewing the people involved, which gave the biography unprecedented credibility and objectivity.

Charles's writing is very wonderful, and Yin Jie is immersed in it unconsciously. When Margaret saw Margaret Thatcher get a scholarship to Oxford University, the plane took off. She quickly took out the Facebook bookmark and clipped it in, held the book in her arms, and closed her eyes to experience the feeling of weightlessness.

After the flight began to be smooth, Yin Jie opened the book again.

"Margaret Thatcher?" a gentle male voice sounded beside her.

Yin Jie turned her eyes to see that the seat next to her was a middle-aged man of medium stature, who looked ...... Very handsome!

Want to know what he looks like? Think of George Clooney, whose facial features are almost entirely created according to the golden ratio, brown eyes are bright and gentle, nose and lips are just the right size and line, fine crow's feet at the corners of the eyes give a gratuitous sense of his elegance, and his brown curls with silver threads are neatly combed back at 3:7. He was dressed in a black shirt and khaki trousers, and he looked so personable...

Yin Jie was a little stunned. Immediately she woke up to a smile from the other party, and she lowered her head red-faced, fiddling with the book in her hand, trying to recover as soon as possible.

"What do you like about Margaret Thatcher?" he asked again.

Yin Jie replied, "Yes, I adore her. In a male-dominated industry, she has done as a woman what many people can't do in their lifetimes. Leaving aside the Falklands incident, there are different political stances and different evaluations. The monetarism, privatization, deregulation, small government, low tax rates, and free trade that she pioneered are now being copied and used in many countries. In this sense, she was a great politician and certainly a great woman. ”

He looked at her with a smile: "It seems that you already know a lot about her. ”

Yin Jie also looked at him and said, "I admire her very much, so I want to know more." She can now look directly into the other party's brown eyes, and Yin Jie feels quite accomplished.

The man next to him said, "There are three biographies in this set, and the first one in your hand is in your hand." He went on to say, "You are right, monetarism, low taxes, free trade, these measures are the last resort she had to reverse the decline of the British economy, but these policies have now become the common practice in the era of economic globalization." From this point of view, there is no doubt that Margaret Thatcher was successful. ”

"The first half of the book in your hand is actually no different from the biographies of other great men. It was only after she became leader of the Conservative Party in 1975 that things began to get interesting. From the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, everything she faced was fraught with great risks. You know, her situation is even more unusual than that of any other prime minister, because the Conservative Party in the UK, the oldest and largest party in the world, and arguably the most 'rigid' party, chose her as a female leader from the bottom and inexperienced. It is conceivable that her later work must have been full of various political conflicts. And in this case, she was able to find the right political model, which not only shows that she is very wise, but also fully proves her genius-like political instinct. ”

"My admiration for her lies in her extraordinary courage," he said solemnly. Not everyone has the courage to break with the old order and create a new one at the same time. You know, she is constantly in danger of collapse: unemployment is soaring, major cities are in financial straits, opponents are plotting to bring her down... , even her advisers openly criticized her policies. And her response has gone far beyond the generalizations of determination and stubbornness, and I would say that she has a good political flair for judging the right moment and defusing every threat just right. ”

"But she's not perfect, and so are her policies. Do you know about the Heysel massacre?" he asked.

Yin Jie nodded. She knows. It happened in 1985 at the Heisel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, where 39 fans died due to a clash between Juventus and Liverpool fans. However, under the push of Margaret Thatcher, all teams in England were banned for five years, and Liverpool was punished for seven years. The ban's negative impact on England's European record lasted until the late 90s. Organizers UEFA and the home stadium were unscathed. When Margaret Thatcher passed away in 2013, Liverpool fans set off fireworks to celebrate.

"There are many, many more things like that. Her iron-fisted methods and centralization greatly contributed to the social division of the British Empire. Many people believe that if it were not for the social divisions created by her arbitrariness, the impact of the financial crisis in previous years on Britain and even the European Union would not have been so terrible. From this point of view, Margaret Thatcher has to take a lot of responsibility. ”

Yin Jie was very impressed. Ask him again for advice.
