Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

The director made specific arrangements for this reception. Song Qian and several others were placed in the reception group at the front, which meant that they would bear the brunt. When the inspection team landed, they would take over and accompany them from beginning to end. .

Obviously this is a task that is assigned only if people take it seriously, but the work is not easy to do.

"Old Song, are you responsible for receiving comrades from the United States? Our group is really unlucky. We arranged to receive a kid from Japan, what the hell."

Comrade Zhang, who was also the head of the Public Works Section from another county nearby, looked unhappy.

How come he was assigned to the Oriental Kingdom? His father was a veteran who participated in the Anti-Japanese War.

The invasion of their country of China had only been a few years ago, and now they came to inspect and visit with a shy face.

He was really afraid that if he couldn't help it, the hatred of the country and the family would be liquidated.

"Lao Zhang, you can't have such thoughts. These are political tasks and must be completed well."

Song Qianhe looked like he was just watching the fun and didn't mind the matter, and he pretended to warn others.

"Besides, the technology of the Toyo Kingdom Shinkansen is now the most advanced in the world. If you can tell us something about the technology, it would be a great contribution.

At that time, who will not say that you are Lao Zhang? "

Song Qianhe stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up as he spoke.

"I said, Lao Song, you can pull them down. Those people are so clever that you can't believe them even if they really tell you. They might just be a trap."

The section chief named Zhang was not carried away by Song Qianhe's words, but instead reminded him to stay awake.

"You do understand.

But don't worry, we don't have much time left for us. I see that the tour tasks are fully booked. When I really have some free time, I will take them for a wander, or at most, go to a state-owned hotel to entertain them with good wine and food. "

Song Qianhe frowned, as if that's what I planned.

"The director has made great efforts this time. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to earn some foreign exchange for our country. I heard that he has found several old professors who can speak foreign languages.

And that, you see, the young man who is following the director now can speak a few words in Japanese. "

Duan Chang Zhang pointed in the direction of the director.

Song Zhengyang and Zhou Jinxin also looked in the direction of his finger. It was the gay man who had been dissatisfied with Song Zhengyang before.

"Does he know Oriental Mandarin?"

Song Zhengyang had a hint of vigilance in his eyes and said that he could speak Japanese Mandarin, which aroused his special attention.

The relationship between China and Japan has never been very good. At his age, he has never studied abroad. How did he learn the Japanese language?

Could it be that, like me, there is someone in the family who has studied abroad?

"Ah, yes, I heard that there was an old man in their village who could say that.

He said that he learned a few words from him when he was a child, but he didn't know many. "

When Zhang Duanchang heard Song Zhengyang's question, he told everyone what he had heard.

"Is there anyone in their village who knows Oriental Mandarin?"

Song Zhengyang asked curiously.

"Well, people from many places in the Northeast can say a few words.

I heard the old people tell me that in the past, Japanese people would go door to door to let their children learn Japanese.

Even adults have to memorize audio charts.

Those who failed to learn would be beaten severely, and some were even shot. "

Speaking of this, Duan Chang clenched his hands into fists, and you could hear the gnashing of teeth in his voice.

"Well, I've also heard that my grandfather could speak Japanese in the past. At that time, I asked him why he could speak Japanese, and that's what he told me."

When the comrade next to him heard this, he nodded quickly and said that he also knew about it and that he was not lying.

"It's really hateful."

Song Zhengyang clenched his fist, and as if his anger had nowhere to vent, he slammed the table.

The sudden loud noise caused the people around to look sideways. They didn't know why they were so excited all of a sudden.

"Okay, our country is in a difficult time now. I also know that everyone has emotions, but at this time, all emotions must be put aside. Development is the most important thing."

The director seemed to feel everyone's emotions and quickly comforted them.

"Go back, everyone. Come here early tomorrow. Pay special attention when talking to foreign guests and communicate appropriately."

After the director finished saying these words, he took the invited professors and left.

"The director is the director. This proper communication is very spiritual." Zhou Jinxin thought.

This time, all countries came to inspect with their own purposes. Some people's focus was not on the railway system, so they had to provide one-on-one guidance and strive to give both parties a satisfactory result within the limited time and environment.

"We are hosting people from the United States. They have three people coming this time. It is estimated that including translators and accompanying personnel, there will be at least five people."

Song Qianhe held the information in his hand and looked at it.

The rise of the American economy is inseparable from the development of railways. Among the people who came to inspect this time were a leader equivalent to their director, an accompanying technical staff, a translator and a secretary.

The strangest thing is that in addition to these people, there is another person who is only written as an entourage and does not have a clear position.

"We will pay special attention to this person tomorrow."

Song Qianhe was afraid that there was something wrong with this person and asked for special attention.

Everyone nodded, and Zhou Jinxin also nodded, looking ready for battle.

The next day, the director led everyone to welcome him in the railway bureau courtyard with cheers.

The welcoming ceremony was quite decent.

Banners, flowers, warm applause, everything was as expected.

The provincial leaders also seemed quite satisfied, shaking hands with the director with a smile and introducing the guests one by one.

Inevitably, the leaders began to speak again. Compared to usual times, the speech speed this time was relatively slow, presumably to take care of the speed of the translators.

Of course, in such an occasion, they, the junior section chiefs from the county, had no chance to speak and could only stand aside and wait.

Zhou Jinxin began to observe the guests.

It seemed that there were people from all over the world, some with fair skin, blond hair, blue eyes, Asian looks, some with slightly darker skin and relatively thin bodies.

They were gathered in twos and threes, and someone was translating the leader's speech in real time in their ears.

Some people were looking around, just like Zhou Jinxin was looking at them.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was a burst of applause, and it was obvious that the leader's speech had ended. On the first day, foreign guests came from afar, and they must do well to receive Ren.

Formalism should not be used, but appropriate forms can make people feel valued.

After settling in the foreign guests, the next step is the formal visit and inspection.
