Chapter 9 The Drinking Party in Distress (Part 1)
The evening reception was held in a four-star hotel near the airport. The entire Doniago, the hotels near the airport, were still in a little bit. Before the war, most tourists who came to Doniago stayed in the airport hotel. Then they took a long-distance tour bus to explore the scenery. When traveling to African countries like Doniago, tourists only visited animals and saw the scenery of the savanna, and did not care about the people in this country, nor did they want to know what local folk customs are. Therefore, although there were many tourists visiting Doniago in the past few years, the positive effect on promoting the economic life of local residents was minimal.
This four-star hotel, which translates as "dawn" in Chinese, is the best hotel in Doniago. Dean Zikavi booked the largest banquet hall. The reception was held in a luxurious manner. In the magnificent hall, there were begging and grooming, and the gorgeously dressed men and women chatting and laughing.
Most of the people present were Doniago socialites, and not many people came to the hospital, with only a few senior executives present. In addition, four doctors from the acupuncture center and hospital guard Omar were also invited because of Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng had heard that the various power institutions and state-owned enterprises in the Donia State under the military rule were particularly corrupt. Now, I have seen it with my own eyes that this statement is not false. President Qikawei, but the cocktail party held with public funds from the hospital, seems to be no problem for all the guests at the cocktail party, and it seems to be natural.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Sheng felt that he had returned to China twenty years ago. He heard that there were also serious corruption problems in China twenty years ago. However, compared with Donia today, it is a slight witch.
The fragrant wind attacked, and Orba came to Zhang Sheng. She said shyly: "Teacher, I'm asking you for your blessing. The first time I attended such a cocktail party, and it was also the first time I came to such a prosperous hotel. Thank you." Obviously, she wanted to leave a good impression on her teacher in front of her, so she mustered up the courage to communicate with her teacher. However, her childhood poverty made her unnatural at such a luxurious cocktail party, let alone, this teacher, from a distant and prosperous country, is even more of a major officer who is extremely inexpensive in that country.
Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "I want to thank you for your kind hospitality." He glanced at Orba. The black evening dress she wore should have been cut by herself, but the handmade work was very good, which made her even more sexy and charming.
"Teacher, I, I'm not rude, right?" Seeing that Zhang Sheng looked at him for a few more times, Orba looked at his clothes in a panic. She had never attended such a high-standard party before, and she was very worried about whether she was decent.
Zhang Sheng laughed silently, but unexpectedly, this sexy little wild cat, who looked full of wild temptation, had such a sensitive mind. It seemed that he grew up in a slum.
"No, you're pretty." Zhang Sheng smiled, raised his glass to clink with her, and said, "Let's relax, nothing."
"Well,..., thank you teacher." Orba held the wine glass with respect and clinked the glass with Zhang Sheng, making Zhang Sheng smile again.
"How old are you this year?" Zhang Sheng asked casually.
"Fifteen." Orba's respectful answer surprised Zhang Sheng, saying, "Then...oh." He stopped asking. He wanted to ask her how old she was in college, but then he knew that Orba should not have received a university education. He probably took part in medical training classes before he graduated from junior high school. He was admitted to acupuncture center training classes from medical training classes. In poverty-stricken countries like Donia, there were serious shortages of medical staff and ordinary people worked hard to enter some professional training classes. However, most families were too poor, and usually they dropped out of school when their children could do their jobs.
"Mr. Major, you are the protagonist today, why are you in the corner?" Zikawei walked over with a glass of wine, but then noticed Orba hiding in the corner of the darker light, and laughed and said, "It turns out that he is chatting with your beloved disciple." He smacked his lips in his heart, thinking it was a pity. This child has developed too fast in one year, and the ugly duckling has turned into a white swan, which makes him feel uncomfortable as if he is snatching it from a cat. Unfortunately, the acupuncture class is the territory of the Chinese, and he is not easy to intervene for the time being. Now, perhaps such a top-notch beauty is not something he can touch. For the sake of the future, it is better to stop this ridiculous idea.
"Mr. Major, come on, I will introduce you to some good friends." As he said that, Dean Zikavi looked at Orba again with a smile and said, "Doctor Orba, wait for your teacher to come and accompany you later, don't you mind?"
Orba hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't mind."
President Qikawei led Zhang Sheng to another circle in the banquet hall. He introduced Zhang Sheng to the powerful figures of the municipal government departments, including the head of the health department, the director of the police department, and even a deputy mayor.
These powerful people were extremely polite to Zhang Sheng and flattered him.
Zhang Sheng knew that the acupuncture center was actually political and mainly served the upper class of Donia. In an African dictatorial country like Donia, it is inevitable to establish good relations with its powerful people from a diplomatic perspective and national interests.
Like some poor African countries, Donia claims to be free of medical care in public hospitals, but in fact it is just a slogan. First of all, its medical construction is extremely backward and there is no perfect medical security system at all. Another thing is that medical care is free, but medicines are not free. Many drugs are so expensive that the poor can't afford. Even the citizens of the capital. If they really get seriously ill, many of them can only endure it.
Therefore, the third public hospital where the acupuncture center is located is not a paradise for the poor, so it is even more impossible for the acupuncture center to be open to the public unconditionally. Instead, there are many high-ranking officials who come to see the doctor.
This is also because there were several experts among the several batches of acupuncture doctors. For example, ten years ago, the hemiplegia of Princess Fengban, China, China was cured at the acupuncture center. There are also many Donian politicians, such as the former Prime Minister, the commander of the military region, and diplomats from the embassy of some countries in Doniago, etc., who have cured difficult diseases in the acupuncture center. As a result, the acupuncture center has a very famous reputation in Donia.
This can be seen from the attitudes of these powerful and powerful politicians towards Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng chatted with them with a smile, which had nothing to do with the true view of them in his heart.
What's more, many African countries like Donia, which have many people in ignorance and have a lot of racial conflicts, even if they drive these rulers off, they will only be two consequences. Either another dictator and a new interest class come to power, or the country is in a civil war and the current situation of many countries proves this.
From the perspective of the game between big powers, who really cares about the lower-class people in Donia? Whether it is China or the United States, what they are concerned about is whether they are close to themselves.
"Mr. Major, you live in your apartment in the twenty-sixth district. Your daily life is a big problem. I have considered it. The hospital will solve the problem of maid service for you." After greeting those nobles and accompanying Zhang Sheng back, Dean Qikawei said with a smile.
Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "That's great." When China first sent a medical team to the scene, there were not many staff members accompanying him. In the 1980s and 1990s, when Chinese diplomatic departments coordinated the food and accommodation conditions of foreign aid doctors with foreign aid doctors, they usually asked their country to provide maid services to foreign aid medical team. Of course, they were just nannies who were washing and cooking.
Zikawei said: "I will try my best to help you find one of your own people so that you can eat delicious Chinese food. I know several businessmen in your country who run business in Doniago. I ask to see if their families are willing to help you. After all, their families are not rude to serve you. You are all compatriots, and you are a noble officer of your country. They should be happy to help you."
Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that it may not be the case. The country is different from your military government system. What kind of noble officers are just stupid soldiers in their eyes.
