Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

In a blink of an eye, the day came for He Yuzhu to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Wearing a brand new Chinese tunic suit, he rode his bicycle all the way to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.

When he arrived at the door, he was intercepted by the soldiers standing guard at the door.

"What?"

He Yuzhu didn't say anything, but took out the certificate in his pocket and showed it to him.

There was a trace of surprise on Xiao Bing's face.

He was released without saying anything.

He Yuzhu got on the car and rode all the way into the gate.

The soldier turned around and muttered: "It's really awesome to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at such a young age!"

The new environment seemed so novel to He Yuzhu.

He came earlier and simply walked around the yard.

The environment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs compound is very good, and the trees, flowers and plants are carefully taken care of.

The air is filled with the fragrance of plants.

It was almost time and he went to the personnel department to report on time.

The person who received him in the Personnel Department was a female comrade. After she saw the letter handed over by He Yuzhu, she sighed in surprise: "Are you the He Yuzhu who skipped a grade and graduated from Tsinghua University?"

"it's me."

He Yuzhu scratched his head shyly.

"Minister Liu has personally told you that when you arrive, you should go to his office first. He will directly help you arrange your work."

"Minister Liu's office is..."

"Come with me."

The female comrade in the Human Resources Department was very enthusiastic. He led He Yuzhu to the minister's office in a jumbled manner.

Minister Liu was very happy to see He Yuzhu.

He stepped forward to greet me enthusiastically and said, "Zhuzi, all the flowers that have been waiting for you have withered. I didn't expect that you would really keep your promise and you would be able to report here in just one year."

"I can't live up to the high expectations of my leaders, right?"

He Yuzhu said half-jokingly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to get to know your colleagues."

Minister Liu personally led He Yuzhu into the corridor.

Many people in the corridor nodded and said hello when they saw Minister Liu.

"Hello, Minister Liu!"

"Good morning, Minister Liu!"

"..."

Minister Liu nodded and explained to He Yuzhu with a smile: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently very busy. We are mainly responsible for diplomatic work with the Xiong State. The high-tech technology they provided us has brought great progress to our development. . Your Russian is good, and you can be responsible for this area of ​​social work. And among the people we connect with the Bear Country, there are also old acquaintances of yours!"

"what?"

He Yuzhu didn't react for a while.

Old acquaintance?

who can that be?

"You'll know then."

Minister Liu deliberately sold it out.

Arriving at the door of the office, the secretary opened the door himself.

Minister Liu took He Yuzhu in.

It was a mess inside, with a phone placed at each workstation, and each of them was communicating with the other end of the phone in an orderly manner in various languages.

clap clap clap!

Minister Liu gave three high-fives and then said: "Everyone, please put down what you are doing. This is the new top student from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, He Yuzhu, whom I told you before. He graduated from Tsinghua University."

"This is He Yuzhu!"

A middle-aged man with a square face smiled and walked up to shake hands with He Yuzhu.

"Hello, my name is Fang Zhonghua. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Comrade Fang, I am He Yuzhu."

"Minister Liu has mentioned you to us many times before you came. Today I finally met you in person. You are truly a talented person. A top student at Tsinghua University. You are truly worthy of your reputation."

Fang Zhonghua's unstinting compliment attracted a discordant voice.

"Who among us is not a graduate of Tsing University or Beijing University..."

"Liu Changfang."

Minister Liu scolded him.

Liu Changfang immediately shut up.

"He Yuzhu does look a little younger. But don't question my vision. Everyone here is a top student before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Many of them are He Yuzhu's senior brothers and sisters. But in order to come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help earlier, He Yuzhu used a He completed all his studies at the university in just three years. Based on this, He Yuzhu’s ability is extraordinary! We must live in peace in the future, and we all work for this country. Please put down your literati sourness!"

Minister Liu's words silenced everyone present.

He Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Hello everyone, I'm new here and don't know much about many things. Let me introduce myself. My name is He Yuzhu. I am nineteen years old. I hope everyone can be tolerant if I don't understand anything in the future. ."

Fang Zhonghua applauded and welcomed him very much.

"Don't worry, Zhuzi, we all get along very well. If you have any questions, any comrade you can find will help you!"

"Then thank you all."

There was thunderous applause in the office

It can be regarded as a welcome to He Yuzhu.

"Comrade He Yuzhu is better at Russian. So I arranged for him to arrive. Fang Zhonghua, please take him with you."

"Yes."

After Minister Liu arranged the work, he glanced at Liu Changfang and said: "You should also control your temper. Don't act like this when a new person comes."

"understood."

Liu Changfang was somewhat reluctant.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was a talented boy known throughout China.

I think back then he was admired by thousands of people.

Now that He Yuzhu graduated and started working a year earlier than himself, he was naturally a little dissatisfied.

He Yuzhu could also see that he was a little unhappy.

After Minister Liu left, he first exchanged greetings with Fang Zhonghua and then took the initiative to find Liu Changfang to shake hands and said, "Please take good care of me in the future, Senior Brother Liu."

Liu Changfang touched his extended hand coldly.

Turn around and leave.

Fang Zhonghua came to the rescue with a smile: "Ignore him, that's all he does. Come over here and read the information first. We have an important meeting with Xiong Country in the past two days. We need a simultaneous translator. Your Russian is the best here. , maybe you will have to play. I heard that you used to work in a steel rolling mill?"

"Correct."

"Promising!"

Fang Zhonghua smiled and said: "You have climbed all the way from the working class to here. You are the most inspiring person I have ever met."

"you flatter me."

He Yuzhu took the information and entered the state in one second.

"You said we have an important meeting with Russia. So what stage are the negotiations at now?"

"We discussed the issue of technology import on the phone before. What he meant was to provide us with finished products but not to teach us the core of the technology. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate. So we invited them to come to China to continue negotiations."

"Without the technical core, we can't fully master the technology!"

He Yuzhu sighed.

"That's right!"

Fang Zhonghua said slightly bitterly: "But people are also afraid that the master will starve to death after teaching the apprentice! In order to maintain our friendship and interests, we think it is best to find a compromise plan."
