When Zhou Yang arrived at the city government compound, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Under the leadership of Feng Wuhui, he was taken directly to the conference room.
At this time, the conference room was full of people.
Judging from the clothes of these people, they are all within the system, and most of them are at the leadership level.
Zhou Yang was placed at the back of the third row. There was no table sign or tea, which made him look a little shabby.
But looking at the others, he felt relieved, and neither did anyone else.
It can be seen from this that this meeting should be held in a hurry.
After waiting for a few more minutes, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the door of the conference room being pushed open, and then several impressive leaders walked in from the outside, including Deputy Director Wang, whom Zhou Yang was familiar with.
Soon, several leaders sat down on the stage.
After sitting down, the middle-aged man in the middle said in a deep voice: "Let's make a long story short. Now Director Li from the government office will briefly explain the situation to everyone."
Then, another leader on the stage immediately cleared his throat and said: "Originally, according to the previous arrangement, the experts from the Beautiful Country will arrive in our Ning City together with the batch of production equipment. The time will be about ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and we will also The reception work is prepared according to this time schedule.”
"But just an hour ago, there was a sudden call from the provincial capital saying that two senior engineers from the other party had arrived in the provincial capital by plane, and the provincial government would send a car to take them immediately to our Ning City. The provincial government requires us to do a good job in reception!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone asked: "Why did the people from Beautiful Country send people here in advance? Do they have any purpose?"
At this time, Deputy Director Wang said in a deep voice: "At present, we don't know the purpose of the other party coming to our city in advance, and the province also knows nothing about it, so let us deal with it carefully!"
Director Huang, who was at the main seat, immediately said: "Instead of guessing the other party's purpose, let's think about how to receive the other party. It takes two and a half hours to get here from the provincial capital, so we don't have much time left!"
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. At this time, we can only receive them according to normal conditions. Then we will see you again and again!" Deputy Director Wang said.
"It can only be the!"
Then Director Huang, the top leader in the city, said immediately: "Director Li, conference reception is the responsibility of your government. You are responsible for the food and accommodation!"
"Please rest assured, leader, we will try our best to satisfy each other!"
"Yes, translator, is the translator ready?" Director Huang asked again.
Zhou Yang immediately raised his hand and said: "Here he is!"
"Your name is Zhou Yang, right?"
"Reporting to the leader, I am Zhou Yang!"
"Well, I will leave the on-site translation work to you this time. I only have two requirements for you. The first is to translate well, and the second is not to embarrass our people. I hope you can do it!"
"Please rest assured, leader, and ensure that the task is completed!" Zhou Yang said.
"Security, logistics, and news and communications departments must also work hard. From now on, everyone will be in working order until the equipment installation is completed. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"This is a project that is under the control of the provincial and municipal levels. Which department makes mistakes, and the person in charge of which department will bear the responsibility. I hope to see you all at the next meeting! The meeting is adjourned!"
.......
After the meeting, Zhou Yang was arranged to an ordinary office and waited for the guests to arrive.
After waiting for almost two hours, just when Zhou Yang felt a little impatient, Section Chief Feng appeared again.
He told Zhou Yang that the representatives of the beautiful country had already entered the city and were expected to arrive at the city government compound in a few minutes. The leaders asked him to follow them out to greet them.
Zhou Yang knew that his life as a tool man had begun.
He immediately straightened his clothes and followed Section Chief Feng outside.
Outside the city government compound, almost all the city leaders, including Director Huang and Deputy Director Wang, arrived. People who didn't know better thought they were welcoming some central leader.
Who would have thought that what these big guys are waiting for are just two ordinary foreign engineers.
If this scene were to be seen in future generations, it would never be seen!
There is no way, this is the way it is in this era.
We have just integrated with Western developed countries and are in the early stages of contact with the Western world. At this time, let alone comparing with Western countries, even compared with our neighbor Japan, the gap is huge and all-round.
Especially in science and technology, we will inevitably feel disappointed and even feel inferior!
This is also reflected in our attitude towards foreign guests, which is why we treat foreign guests as we welcome honored guests.
However, with the rapid development of our country, the gaze that once looked up has gradually turned into a gaze. This kind of high-standard reception of ordinary foreign guests by government officials rarely happens.
Just after six o'clock, a silver-gray Volga car suddenly drove into the city hall courtyard.
The car drove directly to the crowd, and then a middle-aged man in the passenger seat quickly got out of the car, and then helped the person sitting behind open the door.
Immediately afterwards, two blond and blue-eyed foreigners stepped out of the car one after another!
Although all the people who came to greet the foreign guests were leading cadres of Ning City, most of them saw foreigners for the first time, so they all looked surprised.
After seeing the two foreign guests get off the bus, Director Huang and Deputy Director Wang immediately came forward to greet them with Zhou Yang, their translator!
"Welcome you two to our Ning City..."
"WelCOme tO Our City..."
When Director Huang was talking to the foreign guests, Zhou Yang immediately played the role of a tool and translated directly to the two foreign guests in English.
The two foreign engineers did not expect to hear such authentic American English in this remote small city, and they were a little surprised.
But at the same time, there was a hint of vigilance in their eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Mayor, we are James, the chief engineer of Giessen Fertilizer Company, and this is my assistant George..."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Director Huang proposed to take James and George out for dinner.
Firstly, it’s because it’s already dinner time and we can’t let our guests go hungry. This is also not in line with Chinese hospitality.
On the other hand, they also wanted to take advantage of their meal break to find out the purpose of these two people coming here in advance.
After all, if they didn't have other ideas, they wouldn't have to go all the way to do this.
However, what everyone did not expect was that when Zhou Yang translated Director Huang's meaning to James, the other party directly rejected his proposal and instead proposed to go to the fertilizer plant immediately.
Upon hearing this request, everyone present was stunned!
what does this mean?
Can't we just wait until the equipment arrives? What are we going to do now?
However, Zhou Yang, who was familiar with the methods of these foreigners, heard a hint of conspiracy in the words of this beautiful Chinese engineer, and he suddenly became wary.
