Although Seid met Wang Shouyun for the first time, the two of them had a great time in detail. Wang Shouyun was really well-versed in his studies. He was a top student at Wangjing University in China. He studied for a master's degree in literature in the United States. Later, he abandoned his studies in the military academy. If he wanted, he could speak about politics, history, geography, philosophy and literature. He had a common language with Seid, the top student at Condon.
Seid was very clever to avoid talking about domestic politics and war with everyone, and kept the topic within an insensitive range. He said: "Although I knew the prosperity of Pingcheng when I was in Schaffer, after I really came here, the prosperous scene of Pingcheng still shocked me. This place is definitely not inferior to Paris, France, and there is also Schaffer."
Li Shaoyong said: "It's more free here, and the seeds of democracy have just risen here, but I believe it will get better and better here."
Wang Shouyun also said: "Our country has just come out of the old era. It has not yet fully moved towards democracy, but we all believe that everything is moving in a good direction and we are all working hard for it."
Chen Yiyan said: "Okay, what are you guys doing about such a serious topic? Today is to celebrate Seid's arrival in Pingcheng to meet everyone. Seid is my good friend and Jiahe, and in the future, he will also be a good friend of Wenlan and Suiqing."
She raised her champagne glass and smiled and said, "To my friends, to Sed." Everyone picked up the glasses together, and Sed also said, "To my dear friends."
After dinner, everyone was drinking tea and coffee in the small living room. The three men began to talk about the differences between Chinese and Western cultures. In the evening, the third brother also came home from get off work and joined the topic of men. The third brother said, "When Mr. Cavendish came, he came on a large ship?"
Seid said: "Yes, I was chatting with the first mate on the boat, and he said it was a 4,300-ton ship."
The third brother smiled happily and was quite proud. He said: "Look soon, our China will have a large ship of 5,000 tons. We will also be sailing to North America by then, and our China will also have its own large ship!"
Li Shaoyong and Wang Shouyun said happily: "Really?"
The third brother said: "Yes," he seemed particularly talkative when he mentioned his field, and he talked about the composition and specific data of the big ship, such as height, weight, cargo capacity, etc. When it comes to these topics, his eyes seemed to be shining. He said: "Next month, Boss Sun will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the launch of the 'Military', and then he will invite celebrities and reporters from all walks of life to come!"
Everyone was very happy to hear this news. Chen Yiyan said: "This is great. You can go abroad on our own country's ship in the future. If the shipping is strong, it will also drive economic development."
Wang Shouyun said, "Drink one more glass tonight!" He went to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine he had treasured, opened the bottle and poured it for everyone. Everyone said happily: "Great the 'Mius'!"
The party lasted until very late. After drinking, everyone started playing horse hangers. Huang Weitian also said: "Sed used to play horse hangers when he was in school. Don't take it lightly just because he is a Shapher."
Seed said while touching the cards, "I still teach me the skills of playing horse hangings."
Chen Yi-chan and Huang Weitian told you how horse hangs were popular when they were in Condon. Even the professors and deans of the college also started playing. She also organized a Condon University Horse hangs enthusiasts association.
Li Shaoyong teased Huang Weitian: "Oh, so you were still very glorious when you were in school."
Huang Weitian rolled his eyes: "I'm very glorious everywhere, okay?"
Li Shaoyong immediately said: "Okay, okay, my wife."
Huang Weitian mentioned the book of the secret recipe for the court maintenance of the previous dynasty that she wrote intermittently with the two old ladies, and said that she wanted to ask Jiahe to preface her. Chen Yiyan naturally agreed, and Huang Weitian announced proudly: "My book "Secret Recipes for the Palace Maintenance of the Previous dynasty" is bilingual in Chinese and English!"
Chen Yiyan was surprised, and Huang Weitian said proudly: "The reason why she is so slow is that the English part is translated by Wen Lan together!"
Chen Yiqian said: "How did you translate the names of those Chinese medicines?"
Huang Weitian said proudly: "Wenlan and I found several Chinese medicine doctors, and the Chinese medicine doctor who treated Mrs. Cavendish in Schaeffer back then, and asked him about the English translation of Chinese medicine. But I am not a doctor after all, so I can only describe those Chinese medicines in some shortened English."
Speaking of this, Huang Weitian was a little dejected and said, "Anyway, English translation is not that professional anyway, and I still think it's a bit ridiculous."
Chen Yiqiu encouraged her instead, saying: "We have been studying in Shafu for so many years, but we have not seen Chinese medicine books translated into English. You have no references, so it can be considered a way to attract jade. In the future, some people are inspired by you, and they may think about translating traditional Chinese medicine works such as "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Huangdi Neijing" into foreign languages."
Li Shaoyong said: "Little girl, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I will support you whatever you do."
Wang Shouyun also praised her: "It is rare to think about things other than clothes and jewelry, which have made great progress."
Huang Wei looked at him sweetly: "Are Suiqing praising me or hurting me?"
Everyone laughed, Seid looked around the people around him. He had observed through these days that Vivian and her husband had a good relationship. Wang Shouyun, who met for the first time today, had a good relationship with Chris. The young major general was gentle and friendly, and he was even more pampered with Chris. The warm tacit understanding between them really made outsiders envious.
When Seid left at night, he had already drunk a few glasses of red wine, and he felt a little inexplicably excited. Chen Yiyan sent him out. Seid suddenly said, "Chris, are you happy, are you?"
Chen Yi-chan said: "Yes, I'm very happy."
Seid said again: "He is very good."
Chen Yiyan whispered "Yeah" and said, "He treats me well too."
Two days later, the Embassy of Shaffer held a new ambassador inauguration party, and invited ambassadors from various countries to China, Pingcheng prominent families, compradors, and merchants. The party was held at the Grand Hotel near the Embassy of Shaffer. Because Sed's fiancée did not come to Pingcheng, Chen Yi-chan and Huang Weitian basically shared the task of the hostess and were always helping around and outside.
Li Shaoyong said to Huang Weitian: "When I removed the word "sequel" and promoted it to Minister of Foreign Affairs, I didn't see you being so attentive to my inauguration party."
Huang Weitian said: "When did I not care? It's just that Seid is not only our friend but also an ambassador of Shaffer. It is important to properly handle the relationship between Shaffer and China. Do you know?"
Li Shaoyong had no choice but to say helplessly: "Yes, my wife, the diplomatic relations between Huaxia and Shaffer depend on you."
Huang Weitian hummed a few words and ignored him.
In fact, the ladies and ladies who want to be Seid's female companion can line up from the door of the embassy to the street, but Seid only trusts Chen Yi-chan and Huang Weitian for such important occasions. Huang Weitian also said: "I heard that the secretary of the former ambassador is very much your female companion."
Seid said helplessly: "Please, that's Mrs. Pingcheng, the former ambassador, right? I don't want to wear a green hat."
Chen Yi-yong laughed, and the two of them decided on the party day and other issues. Seeing that they were not inferior to Schaffer's ladies who held dance parties all day long, Seid also felt relieved to hand over everything to them. He said: "I am extremely glad that I chose to come to China again and again these days. It's great to have you."
Chen Yiqiu also laughed and said, "You have come to Pingcheng these days than you have said more stingy words to us for so many years."
"A gentleman is always not used to expressing his words of thanks easily," said Seid.
On the night of the party, Chen Yiqi and Huang Weitian helped him introduce the people who came and saw him. Chen Yiqi also introduced some generals from the Pingcheng Military Department to Seid, as well as some of her friends Zhang Shaobai, Yu Yonghang and others, and her second brother also attended the party, and followed the fourth brother who had to come to gain knowledge.
When the fourth brother saw the second sister he had always looked down upon, standing next to the new ambassador. She was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam and socializing with people from all walks of life, he felt very strange. He always regarded Chen Yiyan as the old-style woman in his bones. He had never faced her changes and efforts, so he still accused her of divorce from Lu Yunhe for being her fault.
But today I saw Chen Yiyan's confident look and smiling look here, which made the fourth brother suddenly understand that the second sister is really a person of another level.
Those who can attend this party today are absolutely upper-class people in Pingcheng. People of the Lu family and Lu Yunhe cannot even get along with each other. For the fourth brother, this is also another world. These purple and golden people often sarcastically "rich people who do not know the sufferings of the people" in their mouths, but they are also the kind of people he longs for and want to be in their hearts.
The fourth brother said: "When did the second sister be so familiar with this new ambassador?"
The second brother said: "He is your second sister's good friend when she was studying abroad. I heard her mention that they often play together in the same circle, and there is the duchess, oh, and a viscount."
When the fourth brother heard this, he said "Oh" and muttered: "No wonder..."
Among the reporters present today, only the newspaper where Huang Mude worked was approved to come in for an interview, and he could even take photos at the party. The next day, the news of the new ambassador's inauguration took the front page headlines, and Chen Yi-chan and Huang Weitian in the photo also attracted great attention, especially the fact that Chen Huang and Mr. Ambassador's close friends were also reported.
Immediately afterwards, this unparalleled handsome ambassador triggered a new wave of fanatical star-chasing climax in Pingcheng. Every day, many ladies pass by the door of the embassy inadvertently. They all hope to be favored by the ambassador. There are even women who openly courteous Sed in the newspaper. As soon as Sed goes out, they will be photographed by tabloid reporters who are squatting at the door. Later, he will sit in the car whenever he goes out, so that the reporter will not flash his eyes so much when he takes photos.
The fact that Chen Yiyan and Huang Weitian were friends when Sed were studying has been reported over and over by many tabloid reporters. They all tried to dig out some romantic news from it, but these people were very upright, and even the gatherings were in the form of family gatherings.
There are also some tabloid reporters who found clues about her dating with Seid and others from articles published in domestic newspapers and magazines when Chen Yiyan used the pseudonym of "Spanish Land Guest". Chen Yiyan wrote about having fun with friends, and wrote about the trend of horse-beating hangs that emerged within Condon University, and wrote: "My Schafer friends, their level of horse-beating hangs has surpassed me. On weekends without classes, we often get together to play horse-beating hangs to talk about some interesting stories about the Schafer aristocrats and our experience in China..."
The girl star-chasing craze that Seid in Pingcheng quickly faded away, and the newspaper was occupied by a huge state news. Just last night, Japan fired a gun at Fengzhao City and officially attacked Fengzhao.
