every life

All materials have been reviewed.On the way, Lu Peifei also specially sent a WeChat message to say that the previous materials have been handed over to the Ministry, and the quality is quite high, thank you very much.

Ping Sheng was a little embarrassed. In fact, it was all the content of his professional study, and it was hard to say that he needed to work hard.Dong Yin, on the other hand, was not at all polite with Lu Peifei, and the three of them made an appointment to have dinner together after finishing their work.But later, because Dong Yin had to accompany Cao Yongheng to look at the rented house temporarily, when he handed in the last batch of materials, he asked Ping Sheng to take them with him.The meal was also delayed.

As the end of July approached, the weather became humid, with torrential rain every few days. When Pingsheng went out, he found that his umbrella had been taken away by Xu Boshu. There was only one umbrella in the dormitory, which was Pingsheng's umbrella.Wu Hong suffered from umbrella-throwing syndrome. He bought a few and lost a few. Later, he simply stopped buying and used Pingsheng directly.Xu Boshu also lost an umbrella, but he never bought one since he lost it once.

Pingsheng checked the weather, and the probability of rain was 50.00%, half and half, so he simply ignored it and went out with two stacks of materials on his back.

When we arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the sky was a little darker, and the rain was accumulating. Pingsheng estimated the time and thought that it should be in time, at worst, the road back to school would be drenched for a while...

However, when Pingsheng handed in the materials and stood under the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again, he realized what it means to be as good as a man.

Cursing back to Xu Boshu in his heart, Ping Sheng visually measured the distance to the bus stop. It was certain that he would be exposed to the rain, that is, the covered area——

There was a loud car honking.

Through the heavy rain, Ping Sheng saw Wen Yingyao sitting in the car, looking towards him at the moment, and made a quick gesture with the hand that was holding the steering wheel.

It was like returning to the long rainy season five years ago.

Pingsheng pretended not to see it and slowly looked away. After a while, he lowered his head.

Wen Yingyao found it really interesting.

There were two more car beeps.

When the car came in front of him, Ping Sheng was still pretending to look for his phone, his eyes calm and not wandering.

Wen Yingyao tapped on the steering wheel to stare at people, feeling that he was meddling in other people's business, what's wrong with the young man getting a little rainy.But thinking this way, the car automatically arrived in front of the person.

This kid is really rude.Wen Yingyao deepened this impression.

"Hello." Wen Yingyao reminded, "I'm catching a plane, can you hurry up, classmate?" The last sound was a bit deliberate, and the eyes looking at Ping Sheng became more oppressive.

From Wen Yingyao's point of view, Ping Sheng took it easy, rezipped his schoolbag, put it on his shoulders, and then opened the door and got into the car at the last second of Wen Yingyao's patience.

"..."

More than impolite.Simply rude.Wen Yingyao felt that the current education was really problematic.

However, Pingsheng took a lot of effort to control his movements, not to tremble, not to lose his composure, especially his eyes, not to look at each other, absolutely not——

In front of this Wen Yingyao, he has too many "can't".

Ping Sheng realized that he was never ready to meet Wen Yingyao.

What to say, what to do, no matter how prepared, when this moment comes, all previous efforts will almost be wasted.

He wants to hug him.

He even wanted to kiss him.

The obsession that went deep into the bone marrow became flooded with a similar rain and was on the verge of bursting.

The wipers were flying fast, and the rain was pouring down. Neither of the two people in the car spoke, but with the sound of the rain, there was still some noise.

Ping Sheng turned his head, looked at Wen Yingyao's side face, and spoke normally, restrained and steady: "Thank you, Deputy Wen. I... am a little short-sighted, and I was looking for a mobile phone to hail a taxi..."

Wen Yingyao nodded indifferently, without looking sideways, and continued to look at the road.

"Go to M University?"

"Yeah." Ping Sheng sat up straight, his breath stuck in his chest, his throat was sour, "I can just let me down at the bus stop at the East Gate, and from there I can go directly to the airport expressway."

Wen Yingyao turned his head and glanced at him, "I know."

After saying this, Pingsheng didn't stop for a moment, and completely turned his eyes to the rain lines splashing outside the car window, watching them being stretched, torn and thrown away in the fast wind.

Those likes, obsessions, and day-to-day obsessions should actually disappear completely with the car accident he caused.

In this way, he never met with him again.

Whether it's guilt or love, it's just him alone.

It can never be Wen Yingyao's.

"I heard from Lu Peifei that you are from Ning City?"

The people around me were too quiet.Quiet enough to make people feel distressed.

Wen Yingyao cleared his throat, "I stayed in Ning City for a while, it is indeed a good place, with mountains and rivers, and pleasant scenery."

"Well", Ping Sheng thought, you have stayed for more than three months.

"I'm from Ningshi." After saying this, he lowered his head again.

The rain has become lighter, and the speed of the wipers has also slowed down a lot. After high-load operation, it looks a little tired, and it scrapes every now and then.

Wen Yingyao has never realized that he talks so much and is so patient.

"I've seen your grades in school, and it's really excellent. Professor Xu's Sino-US joint project, when I was studying, was the first issue of this project, and many parts were quite immature, but I read your project report" , Wen Yingyao paused, but turned his head to find that the person he praised hadn't raised his head at all.It's just that the ears were a little red, and the tip of the heart seemed to be scratched by something. Wen Yingyao was surprised that he could say these four words without hesitation: "You are very powerful."

The ears are blood red.

Ping Sheng lowered his head and almost turned into an ostrich.

There is no such thing as excellence. Signing up for a project is just because your name is listed in the project applicant column.

Ping Sheng secretly glanced at Wen Yingyao, pondered over and over again, and said dryly, "Teacher Xu is a good teacher."

Wen Yingyao agreed, "Mr. Xu has a solid foundation and understands many problems deeply. Sometimes I will go back to school to ask for advice." Then he turned around and continued to ask: "I will be looking for a job next semester. Have you considered the foreign affairs department?" ? I think you can try."

The word "no" couldn't be said no matter how hard it was in his mouth, "I...I want to think about it, but there is actually no..." In the end, the voice was so low that it could hardly be heard.

Wen Yingyao only thought that he lacked self-confidence, so he planned to encourage him again. After all, he was really a good seedling.

"Really no plans?"

"You handled the interpretation of the material this time very well, and it can be seen that you have strength."

With great difficulty, Ping Sheng closed his eyes and spit out a sentence.

"I want to... think about it."

The author has something to say:

Whether to eat grapes or not is in the chapter of Doom.

☆, harmless to humans and animals

Pingsheng went back to Ning City in mid-August, Lu Zheng was very happy, cooked a large table of dishes, and called Hongmao, saying that he was sorry to always trouble others to send things.

From the moment Pingsheng entered the door, Lu Zheng complained about losing weight again, and when he was busy in the kitchen, he was still worrying about what to do if his girlfriend didn't like it.

Facing Lu Zheng's red hair, he was always very cautious, with his hands neatly placed on his lap, and sitting on the sofa with his back straight.At this time, after hearing Lu Zheng's nagging, he couldn't help laughing.Standing in the bedroom packing his luggage through two walls, Ping Sheng cried out distressedly: "Auntie, don't worry about it..."

"Why worry blindly? Cough, cough, cough..."

Lu Zheng stopped singing in the bar street a few years ago, her voice is not very good, and she went to the hospital a few times and didn't say anything, just pay attention and don't be too tired.Ping Sheng was worried, and had been planning to let Lu Zheng go to Beijing to have a look, but no matter what Lu Zheng said, he just didn't want to.

"Auntie..." Ping Sheng came out of the bedroom, "I'd better go and check—"

"The chili is choking," Lu Zheng rolled her sideburns, tilted her head and smiled at the worried Ping Sheng, "It's packed? You can eat soon."

Hongmao also stood up rubbing his hands, "Aunt Zheng, why don't you listen to Pingsheng, when Pingsheng comes back to look for a job, it will be inconvenient to go to Beijing..."

Lu Zheng turned off the fire at once, turning her head puzzled, "What are you doing back here? What good development can Ning City have?"

"Ah Sheng doesn't want to stay in Beijing?"

"Ah..." Ping Sheng leaned against the door frame, Wen Yingyao's face suddenly appeared in his mind, he turned his eyes and saw that Lu Zheng picked up the plate and drenched the juice, the aroma was rich and tangy, he was also a little hungry, unconsciously Denial: "Actually, it's not..."

Hongmao bumped into Pingsheng, but his eyes were fixed on the sizzling prawns just out of the oven, "That's not what you said last time when I went to Beijing. What... to go to the company, the foreign affairs department is not easy to enter... ..." In the end, the voice of swallowing was too loud, which made Lu Zheng laugh.

"Okay, let's eat." Lu Zheng pushed the two of them out, "Ah Sheng still listens to me. If you want my aunt to tell you, let's go to Beijing. Beijing is so good!"

Ping Sheng took the bowl and chopsticks and nodded.

Hongmao just thinks of Lu Zheng's paternalism, while Ping Sheng is too obedient.

He will be looking for a job at the beginning of the next semester, and Wu Hong has already been an intern at a foreign media for a long time, so it is not a big problem.Xu Boshu still needs to study for a Ph. D., so he devotes all his attention to the publication of his thesis, spending almost every day in the library.

Wu Hong heard Pingsheng's idea of ​​taking the exam for the foreign affairs department, and felt that it would be more reliable to establish a company first. In previous years, the recruitment ratio of the foreign affairs department was extremely cruel. Last year, only three people were recruited, and this year it might be even less.

"How do you know?" The three of them had a rare time to get together for a barbecue beer, and Ping Sheng asked Wu Hong, who was drunk.

Wu Hong stretched out an index finger and tapped Pingsheng's shoulder, "You don't know that, I also heard the gossip. It is said that this year the Foreign Affairs Department No. [-] is not recruiting anyone, all of them are recruiting, and the two are recruiting. I don’t know if there is any quota yet, the seat there, tsk..." The index finger shook, "Too many people want to enter, if you really have this idea, there are thousands of troops, remember to leave a way for yourself."

Ping Sheng picked up the cup to drink, did not speak, nodded after a while, thanked Wu Hong for reminding, "I know".

Xu Boshu didn't quite believe it, "You're just hearing it. Ping Sheng, don't believe him!"

Wu Hong cut his voice, "If you don't believe me, you can ask senior sister Dong Yin and you will know? She has a good relationship with the personnel department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose surname is Lu..."

Ping Sheng stopped him, frowned and said: "This is not good, don't ask."

Xu Boshu still didn't believe it, "It's a matter of time, let's see when the time comes..."

Wu Hong burped, not caring about the result, but it was none of his business, he just said to Ping Sheng with a slightly serious expression: "What are you afraid of! University bully. Besides, I have already recommended you to the editor-in-chief. You You are very popular now, the headquarters has read your resume and wants to poach you directly from Beijing... The foreign affairs department can't do it, so come and work with me! Old classmate?"

Xu Boshu also felt that this was reliable, but still respected Pingsheng's meaning, and blocked the wine glass that Wu Hong handed over, "You let Pingsheng think about it, what if Pingsheng really made it? Wow, that's so cool! Diplomacy official!"

Ping Sheng was amused, looked at the light layer of beer foam on the wall of the glass, and said in a low voice, "It's not that easy..."

Wu Hong patted Ping Sheng on the shoulder and said nothing.

A few days later, when Pingsheng searched online, he found that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recruited two people this year.

It was really hit by Wu Hong.

The written test was scheduled for the end of December, and the interview was scheduled for the beginning of March after the Chinese New Year.

Although there are three months of review time left, Pingsheng still has to prepare for the minority language exam, so the time is very tight.

Wu Hong deeply felt the terrible consequences of his crow's mouth, so since Pingsheng began to review and prepare for the exam day and night, he seldom talked to Pingsheng about things that disturbed the morale of the army.

After Dong Yin knew that Pingsheng was going to be admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he encouraged him a lot, and felt that Pingsheng must be fine, but he needed to prepare more in terms of language, just in case.

When the results of the written test came out, Ping Sheng was making dumplings with Lu Zheng at home. He was going back to school tomorrow, and Lu Zheng thought that he could eat them on the way.

In Ping Sheng's opinion, the results of the written test were somewhat unexpected, but in the eyes of Wu Hong and Xu Boshu, it was nothing more than normal.

"You've exceeded the score line by so much. If it wasn't for No.1, I'll twist the head off and give it to you." Wu Hong said bloody, and Ping Sheng quickly waved his hand and politely said no.

Xu Boshu was very cautious, and said earnestly to Ping Sheng, "Arrogant soldiers must be defeated...Ping Sheng, you are like this, so don't make any mistakes during the interview—ah bah! bah bah bah..."

Wu Hong was dying of laughter, "Don't worry! Dr. Xu!"

Since Xu Boshu was about to take the doctoral exam, everyone automatically forgot his real name and called him "Dr. Xu".

After Xu Boshu protested to no effect many times, he gave up.

Although there is only one part to recruit people this time, there are often people from the second part participating among the interviewers, so the phenomenon of poaching halfway through has also happened many times.The minister of the first department felt very helpless about this. Sun Xin of the second department is a real old fox, but Wen Yingyao is a ruthless character, who can make you vomit blood with a single sentence.

Yan Jiaqi called the office and said that when he was downstairs, Ping Sheng was in a formal suit and was in the interview line, following Lu Peifei to the second floor.

Yan Jiaqi always felt that he had seen Ping Sheng somewhere, but after all, the memory was far away, and he did not feel at ease when he glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

When Wen Yingyao came down from the second floor, it really caused quite a commotion.The originally well-ordered team began to loosen. Everyone watched Wen Yingyao walk towards Yan Jiaqi and whispered.

"I heard that Wen Yingyao is also the interview judge this time..."

"It's been the same in previous years..."

"The real person is too handsome! By the way, how is he? Can you talk?"

The girl behind Ping Sheng sneered, "Speakable? Wen Yingyao?"

"He can make your blood splatter three feet on the spot with one word, believe it or not."

Ping Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and after a while, as if thinking of something, he lowered his head, pursed his lips slightly, and smiled.

The girl behind seemed to have some background, so she lowered her voice and continued: "My uncle was in the translation department before, and now he has applied for an assignment. The two of them went to Midorica to attend the Twelve-National Conference, and they are all countries that speak bird language... It can give people a nervous breakdown every minute..."

"Pfft ha ha ha... is it true or not?"

"Of course it's true! Wen Yingyao's wrist, a mistake can make you remember forever. Fortunately, the second part is not recruiting this time, otherwise I have to consider whether to take the exam..."

"So ruthless..." The girls behind were frightened. They looked at Wen Yingyao who was talking to Yan Jiaqi in the distance, and their eyes were instantly in awe.

"Who is that girl?"

"A good friend? Also from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"Wen Yingyao just smiled at her..."

But no matter how afraid you are, when it’s time to gossip, the fire of gossip is always a spark that can start a prairie fire.

"What's so strange about this?" The girl who just revealed the inside story glanced at the two people in the distance, and said in a relaxed tone: "That girl, Yan Jiaqi, a neurologist, is in the same family as Wen Yingyao. I heard that they are getting married... "

Ping Sheng turned his head to stare at the girl, and asked unnaturally, "What did you say?"

The girl is tall. Hearing Ping Sheng's question, she was a little strange about the boy's gossip, and continued: "Yan Jiaqi, she has been Wen Yingyao's girlfriend for a long time. Before Wen Yingyao had a car accident, she was by my side for several years. ...My uncle said that he should be getting married soon, and he also said that he hoped that Wen Yingyao's temper would be better after marriage..."

Several people from behind laughed and coaxed in a low voice, "How do you say... twist your fingers? Hahaha!"

Lu Peifei was checking his identity materials, and looked back a few times, and then everyone became quiet again, but his eyes did not leave the direction where Wen Yingyao and Yan Jiaqi were standing.

Yan Jiaqi seldom comes here, and if she hadn't been unable to get through the phone, she would not have made a special trip to arrest people.

"Yu Zhe is coming to Beijing on a business trip tomorrow, and my aunt wants the Yu family to come over for a light meal, and asks you to bring Yu Zhe too."

Wen Yingyao pretended to have nothing to do with himself, "Don't drag me into the water, you don't know who Yu Zhe is, why bother to ruin my brotherhood."

"...That's why I asked you to say-"

Wen Yingyao walked to the coffee machine and interrupted: "Do you want coffee? The new one in the ministry, I heard it's very smart."

Yan Jiaqi knew that when this person had a good face, it was more difficult to talk when he had a bad face, so he stopped talking about it immediately and nodded, "Let's have a drink."

After the cup was brewed immediately, Wen Yingyao picked up the paper cup and smelled it, with a slightly disgusted expression on his face, after listening to Yan Jiaqi's words, he pointed to the button next to the red indicator light, "Press it yourself".

"..."

Yan Jiaqi was not in a good mood, she remembered something, and said a little sourly: "Fortunately, I am not your girlfriend anymore, otherwise I would die of anger."

Wen Yingyao listened amusedly, and smiled harmlessly, but said nothing. He cast his eyes on the interview student not far away who was checking his identity information.

Ping Sheng didn't know what he was thinking, his face was pale and bloodless.Wen Yingyao watched distractedly. I heard that he was the first in the written test this time, and it seems that he is really good.

If it weren't for the lack of vacancies in their second department, he would like to recruit people here...

By the way, isn't Hu Lei going to apply for an assignment? I'll ask Lu Peifei to verify it when I go back later, and I can just record another person...

"Are you listening to me?!"

Yan Jiaqi was slightly annoyed, she really suspected that the car accident had left Wen Yingyao with distracted sequelae.

Then there is the "unknown origin" jade pendant.

Sometimes Wen Yingyao could study the precious jade pendant on his neck for a long time.He touched the jade pendant without letting go, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Although from the perspective of a bystander, Yan Jiaqi had already told him countless times.It is estimated that he bought it in Ningshi himself but forgot later, but Wen Yingyao never believed it.

Father Wen later suggested whether to take it down for testing, maybe we can know something, the place of origin, and the sales channel, who bought it...

Mother Wen didn't agree anyway.

Mother Wen was always a little superstitious, thinking that Wen Yingyao might be able to come back after taking a trip to the ghost gate, maybe it was due to the jade pendant.

Take it down for testing?Mother Wen refused to let her say anything.

Father Wen didn't insist anymore.

Wen Yingyao didn't think too much, but felt that he had forgotten something very important.

Kind of a pity.

Also only a little bit.

After all, a jade pendant can't explain anything.

People still have to look forward, right?

Wen Yingyao turned his head and smiled impeccably, and made a gesture to continue.

Yan Jiaqi didn't bother to look at him, her expression was not good, but what she said meant something, "I said, my mother introduced me to a blind date."

Wen Yingyao raised his eyebrows, drank his coffee slowly, part of his eyes still didn't leave Pingsheng's direction, "I'll let my mother prepare the red envelope, I don't think I have time to go, the next three forums are China-Africa, China-Europe... and Geneva s meeting--"

Yan Jiaqi turned around and left.

Wen Yingyao smiled and drank the coffee in one gulp.

☆, get married or not

Pingsheng remembered.

On the day of Wen Yingyao's car accident surgery, Yan Jiaqi was also there.

At that time, she still had short brown hair, unlike now, Mo Yun had long hair, was quiet and tall, standing beside Wen Yingyao, looking from a distance, she was a pair of beautiful people.

Lu Peifei is arranging the sequence of numbers for those who are preparing for the interview, so just go to the conference room on the second floor and wait.

The interview is divided into three parts.Regular interview, professional interview and language interview, and then according to the scores of each link, the final comprehensive score will be made.

The tall girl behind looked sideways at Pingsheng suspiciously, then couldn't help it, stretched out her hand and gently pushed, "Student, let's go..."

Without saying a word, Ping Sheng lowered his head and quickly followed the team.

He thought about something.

For example, meeting Wen Yingyao.For example, Wen Yingyao would forget him.

Some things never are.

For example, Wen Yingyao has a girlfriend and is getting married.

The conference room was buzzing with people, and everyone was nervously preparing for the most difficult language interview.For a time, more than a dozen languages ​​gathered together, which was extremely lively.

Ping Sheng tried to pronounce a few simple sounds to introduce himself in German, but it fell into his ears, as harsh as it sounds, dry and stiff.

It's like being pulled to the south wall, always bumping into it.

A total of 16 people participated in the interview.In the order of random distribution, Pingsheng ranked eighth in the middle.In addition to the number, there is also a score sheet, which needs to be handed over to the main interviewer during the interview.

Ping Sheng wrote his name on the top column with a pen in his hand, then stared at the score sheet in a daze after putting down the pen.Although he didn't think about Wen Yingyao anymore, his mind was still filled with confusion.Looking up at the white ceiling, there are buzzing noises in my ears.Turning the head, the light greenery of early spring already appeared outside the window.Taking a deep breath, Ping Sheng closed his eyes and had no choice but to deal with the interview first.

But the actual situation is beyond his control.

The first time Ping Sheng opened the door and entered, he saw Wen Yingyao, who was wearing a dark gray suit and sitting second from the right.If the first glance really showed anything, Ping Sheng almost gave up on himself, what should he do next.

As if aware of Ping Sheng's gaze, Wen Yingyao raised his head and exchanged a glance with him, but the next second he was turned away by the materials handed by Lu Peifei beside him.

Wen Yingyao's eyes flickered like water, but Ping Sheng could barely breathe, he suddenly understood his abnormality.

He still had expectations for Wen Yingyao.

expect--

He will love him all over again.

Hug him again.

Kiss him again.

But this is like the candy Wen Yingyao left him.After Wen Yingyao left, he couldn't bear to eat any of them.

Because he knows that after eating, there will be nothing left.

To him, Wen Yingyao was like a good wine that he tasted occasionally when he was young, a sudden drop, thrilling.After that, the years are long, the mountains are long and the rivers are far away, and there will be no more. In the end, I will lose my soul.

I don't know how much effort it took, but when Pingsheng took his seat, even the chief interviewer, Yang Qi from the Personnel Department, felt a little something was wrong.

In this case, if the interviewer really has any special circumstances, he can bring it up by himself, consider whether the reason is reasonable or not, and then take measures.But almost no one brought it up.Because this means losing the election to a certain extent, unless the subsequent performance reaches a level that is absolutely desirable.

Generally speaking, the result of preparing again will not be much better.

"After handing over the form, you can introduce yourself first."

Lu Peifei looked at Pingsheng and even forgot to give Yang Qi the watch, so she couldn't help but remind her.

Ping Sheng raised his eyes silently, left his seat, stepped forward and put the watch he had been holding in front of Yang Qi.Yang Qi looked up at him in confusion, turned her watch in the other direction, lowered her head and glanced quickly, "Go back and sit down—"

Before the words finished, Wen Yingyao stood up from his seat when no one expected it.

Everyone looked up in amazement, Wen Yingyao looked calm, buttoned his suit with one hand, picked up the paper cup on the table with the other, and drank it with his head up. He accidentally glanced at Pingsheng with a bit of coldness and seriousness, but he only said: " Have a rest, okay?"

Yang Qi reacted quickly, and just in the middle of the process, she suddenly realized, "I forgot..." Turning to Lu Peifei, she said, "Peifei, tell the rest of the students, and we will have another interview in 10 minutes."

Lu Peifei nodded, and looked away from Pingsheng who was still standing with his head down, "I'll go out and talk."

The waiting room had already been crowded with many students who were interviewing, drinking coffee in twos and threes, talking in low voices.

"...I heard that Wen Yingyao asked about the 37-year Middle East Agreement in French..."

"Are you sure? This is too fucking tricky... I can't answer it even if I learn French..."

"French...Wen Yingyao deserves to be Wen Yingyao. Most people only pay attention to the English text, and probably forget that the United Nations gives priority to French..."

"Whoever says it's not, it's a convention now. It was that time in 37... If it wasn't for the French, history would have been rewritten."

"So, Wen Yingyao..."

Ice water was poured into the throat, and the internal organs were instantly calmed down. Ping Sheng put his hands in front of the pool, and there were "37 years" and "Wen Yingyao" next to his ears, and finally, "Wen Yingyao".

When Wen Yingyao's merciless voice sounded behind him, Ping Sheng didn't turn his head back, just thought it was an auditory hallucination, raised his hand and continued to pour a large glass of ice water.

The wrist was suddenly grabbed, and Wen Yingyao's face appeared in front of his eyes.

His eyes reflected his panic, and his pupils were as deep as an abyss, hiding a faint anger and hatred that iron cannot be made into steel.

"Don't want to take the test anymore? Want to give up? Let's go through the motions?"

There was no one around.The classmates who were secretly exchanging interview information just a moment ago, now escaped cleanly, leaving only a messy table of paper cups.

The coffee cools down and has a bitter taste.

The air is stagnant, like a frozen lake, with cracks and cracks moving away, and a dangerous atmosphere hangs over the head all the time.

Ping Sheng was speechless.

Wen Yingyao sneered, his face was stern, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but it was full of oppression, almost freezing him in place.

"Where do you work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"The written test comes first, and you may end up at the door in the end."

"However, just for your negative interview, I still won't let you step into the door of the foreign affairs department."

"You better clear my mind."

After finishing speaking, his wrist was put down heavily, Wen Yingyao no longer looked at Ping Sheng who was in extreme astonishment, and turned around lazily and sarcastically: "I really misjudged my eyes. Such a level... the writing skills are so good, I didn't expect to be embarrassing on the spot The level is also—”

"I did not do it on purpose……"

Too familiar feeling, familiar to nostalgic.

Ping Sheng didn't have the slightest embarrassment of being scolded, but just weakly defended himself.

Wen Yingyao didn't stop, but slowed down a little.

"I……"

A magical feeling, a sentence reached the throat, screaming to break through.

Ping Sheng took two steps forward, grabbed Wen Yingyao who was walking to the door, and pulled him to the back of the door when he was completely unexpected.

Jaw tensed, teeth trembling, staring fiercely at the person in front of him.

There are small clusters of flames in the eyes, which cannot be removed.

But the words that were spoken were word by word, cautiously, sincerely and fearfully.

"Are you getting married?"

Wen Yingyao frowned.

After a moment of astonishment, he burst out laughing, a very low laugh.

Someone broke the ice.

clap clap.

Fire is born from ice.

Ping Sheng's face was completely red.He himself could feel the heat that almost burned his whole body.Staggering back a few steps, even he couldn't believe it, and looked at Wen Yingyao in horror, as if it wasn't him who asked this high-sounding question, but Wen Yingyao.

Wen Yingyao felt that this kid was getting more and more interesting.

When Ping Sheng was about to hit the corner of the table, Wen Yingyao reached out to stop him, "Be careful", and he approached again.

The teasing thoughts come for no reason, it seems to be a habit.Wen Yingyao lowered his head and pressed against Pingsheng's ear, where his lips were burned.

"If you have a good interview", after a meaningful meal, "I'll tell you—"

"I, am I going to get married?"

Pingsheng forgot how he got out of the lounge.

How could he be so impulsive to compete with Wen Yingyao?

Far from overreaching, he just packed himself up and tied a bow before giving it to someone else.

When Sun Bu walked in with a thermos cup in his hand, the smile in Wen Yingyao's eyes hadn't faded away, and he made himself instant coffee slowly, without any expression of disgust, and the movements of his hands were like treating a handicraft.

"The children nowadays are so...so...so...hey..." Sun Bu suddenly felt that he was getting old, he took a sip of wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea, squinted his eyes and sighed.

"I didn't expect that either." Wen Yingyao glanced at the time, "I'm going for an interview, you're slow, you've heard too much in the corner, and the amount of information is too much."

Sun Bu smiled and waved his hands, "I was afraid that you would disregard discipline." The fragrance of tea lingered, "Later, I was afraid that the children would have psychological shadows." The amber thick-rimmed glasses were covered with mist, "I didn't think about it later, tsk, None of them are ordinary people."

When Wen Yingyao saw the tricks, he said leisurely, "You are the great immortal", after saying that, he cupped his hands and walked out.

☆, wait for the rabbit

However, Wen Yingyao did not have time to participate in the second half of the interview.

A small country in the Middle East, Chalaville, suddenly had an armed operation. The embassy closest to the conflict site was destroyed on a large scale. Continuously upgrading.

On the way to the interview, Wen Yingyao met He Ciyuan who came in a hurry.At that time, Sun Bu was still sipping goji berry health-preserving tea in the lounge, recalling the "Quotations from Immortals" he had heard while squatting in the corner, feeling more and more interesting about young people nowadays.

When He Ciyuan rushed in recklessly, Sun Bu didn't know the situation, so he was taken aback. He swallowed most of the wolfberry, pointed at He Ciyuan, shook his head and sighed, "I'll be scared to death every time by you kid!" -"

"Mr. Sun, the embassy in Chalaville is bombed!"

A sentence without beginning or end, even Sun Bu, who has experienced international turmoil, was choked and coughed in the next second: "You, you boy!"

"Speak clearly!"

Wen Yingyao followed behind and patted He Ciyuan, with the tone of someone who had come here, and Sun Bu choked again when he heard Sun Bu timidly and startled holding the thermos, "Sun Bu is getting old, don't keep scaring him", turning around and talking At the same time, he was serious again in an instant, and told Sun Bu as concisely and neatly as possible all the information he had learned so far, "I have asked Hu Lei to contact me, and I have to wait for more detailed feedback on the specific plan."

Sun Bu frowned, nodded when he heard the words, and made a decisive decision, "notice that the meeting is ready."

Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs urgently contacted the staff of the embassy in Chalaville, due to communication barriers, the specific situation was not sent back to the Ministry until around three o'clock in the morning the next day.

The death toll is zero, but injuries are serious.Chalaville's medical assistance is still overwhelmed, and several cities still need to temporarily seek international medical supplies from the neighboring country Tekaku.

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally decided that Wen Yingyao would take He Ciyuan and five other people from the Second Ministry directly on a plane to Tekaku, preparing to enter the foreign affairs mediation process and seek a neutral position and personnel assistance.

Things went very well.

Before the plane of Wen Yingyao and his party landed, they saw officials from Tekaku in local costumes waving to them on the ground.

All the air routes into Chalaville have been cut off. After discussing with the foreign affairs personnel of Tekaku, Wen Yingyao still decided to erect the Chinese flag and negotiate directly at the border between the two countries.

The wounded in the embassy had already been brought to the border of Chalaville by the first batch of Tkaku international rescue teams, so after the negotiation between the two sides was successful, further medical assistance continued in an orderly manner.

A week later, the domestic situation in Chalaville was barely under control.However, the recovery of daily life will take some time.Three routes that had been completely closed have also been temporarily opened to meet the diplomatic needs of various countries.

For three full weeks, Wen Yingyao and He Ciyuan were so busy that they couldn't keep their feet on the ground.By the time Wen Yingyao remembered to ask Pingsheng about the interview, more than half a month had passed.

Lu Peifei had just handed over the work on the other end of the phone, and Wen Yingyao asked this out of the blue, a little surprised: "You don't know?"

Wen Yingyao was completely confused. He was so busy these days, could it be that the kid had another problem in the interview?Wen Yingyao didn't reflect on the "fiery shock" he brought to Pingsheng at all, and was innocent and confused when he heard the words: "Know what?"

Lu Peifei smiled: "I also forgot, you didn't come in the second half. That's right, Pingsheng was second in the interview, and Yang Qi just felt that Pingsheng's mental quality was not good enough, so she deducted five points. It's also strange. After the whole match, she played well. It was very good, but my face was flushed, and I wanted to ask if I had a fever and felt unwell after the interview was over... Who knew that when the interview was over, no one was there..."

Wen Yingyao leaned back in the chair, with a relaxed posture, and opened his mouth: "I guess I'm nervous."

"I think so too. But his language is really good." At this point, Lu Peifei laughed a little louder, "To tell you the truth, you are also strong in German. You were there at the time, so it must have been a narrow road."

"Who speaks his German?" Wen Yingyao suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Wenying."

Wenying is the mainstay of the translation department, and German is also her strong point.If Wen Yingyao wasn't there, Yang Qi and Wenying were the only ones who could interview in German.

Now that Yang Qi has a stereotyped impression of Pingsheng, she will not take the initiative to apply for a language interview, and only Wenying can be objective.

Wen Yingyao secretly thought that sure enough, although he knew the reason to ask, he was inexplicably unwilling: "Pingsheng went to one?"

"That's right, Wenying wanted him." Lu Peifei did not doubt that he was there, her tone was brisk, and later she joked, "If it wasn't for our lack of space, I would also like to join in the fun..."

Wen Yingyao suddenly asked, "Has Hu Lei left?"

"Ah?" The turn was too fast, and Lu Peifei couldn't react in time, "Oh, the matter of expatriation? No. He didn't mention it later, so he probably knew that there was little hope... In the past, Sun Bu didn't let people take it easy. out...".

Wen Yingyao didn't say anything.

He Ciyuan, who was bending over and standing aside to translate and compare, felt a low pressure. He raised his head to look left and right, and finally landed on Wen Yingyao's slightly squinted eyes and uncertain face.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yingyao blurted out an indecent word in English, which made He Ciyuan stand upright in fright, holding the black and white words in both hands, distressed: "It said that the reconstruction of the embassy will be at the beginning of next month at the earliest, or we should go back first... "

Not to mention the chaos just experienced, even the original standard of living is extremely difficult.After staying for three weeks, He Ciyuan already felt powerless, "I moved bricks all day yesterday...they are real bricks..."

Wen Yingyao didn't even look at him, he was thinking about something else, scribbled and perfunctory: "Wait a little longer."

Wen Yingyao didn't know why, but suddenly felt a sense of crisis in Hu Lei's fickle human heart, so he decided that next time, as long as Hu Lei mentioned it—no, as long as there was such a sign, he would send him out in minutes.

The induction training lasted for a month. When I formally entered the job, I was supposed to prepare for the China-Europe Forum in the middle of the year. However, due to the unexpected incident in Chalaville, a temporary transfer of two new recruits went to Chalaville to help the embassy rebuild.

This can be described as a great challenge for the newcomers who have just joined the diplomatic service.

It is also a profound experience.

Because they are about to face unprecedented difficulties.

Devastated, low living standards, chaotic law and order, and hidden instability, everything seems to be overthrown and restarted. Even the materials for reconstruction are uneven, which constantly tests the coping ability and psychological quality of a newcomer to diplomacy.

But for Ping Sheng, his first "difficulty" had already made his legs and feet weak, making it difficult to parry.

The rebuilding of the embassy began in an orderly manner a week before their arrival.I heard that Wen Yingyao and the people from the second department have been preparing for this for nearly half a month, and they have worked hard. The rest is left to these newcomers. Although they still need to spend more thought and energy, they have given experience guidance on many basic issues.Therefore, in many cases, they need to repeatedly chew and discuss the plans and suggestions left by Wen Yingyao and the others.

When Ping Sheng pushed open the door of the meeting room with a lot of meeting materials in his arms, Wen Yingyao was sitting cross-legged on the chair closest to the door, with one hand propped behind his head, putting down the documents in his hand, looking like he was waiting for a rabbit, with a smile on his face. It's getting bigger and bigger, and at first glance it makes people feel like spring breeze.

Staring straight for a few seconds, after confirming that it was not a hallucination, Ping Sheng turned his head and left.When I came to the door, I still didn't forget to talk to myself in a self-deceiving way.

"Hmm. I forgot to bring..."

Wen Yingyao
