Chapter 393 The Curtain Ends Successfully!(1/2)
Chapter 393 A successful conclusion!
After hearing the mustache's speech, Xue Zhengchuan and all the participants' expressions changed. They all expected that someone would raise questions, but no one expected that someone would be so shameless and directly ask them for scientific research results.
Xue Zhengchuan immediately wanted to refute this person, and arranged manpower to control the mustache after the meeting was over.
But Cao Chunyuan's reaction was faster than his. Before he could refuse, Cao Chunyuan had already spoken.
"China has been known as a land of etiquette since ancient times. We are also willing to invite friends with good intentions to our homes and entertain them with good wine and delicious food.
There is a saying that goes well: When friends come, bring good wine; when jackals come, bring shotguns!
I remember that my predecessor, Academician Pei Shaorong, once requested to use your country's "Seven Star Rice" to complete hybrid rice experiments. However, you not only rejected Academician Pei's proposal, but also said that our scientific research level is low and we cannot develop better rice.
.
Now that you are asking me for Huaxing 001 hybrid rice, are you admitting that your country made a mistake before and admitting that China's agricultural scientific research level has surpassed yours?"
As soon as Cao Chunyuan finished speaking, Xue Zhengchuan's stern face quickly showed a smile. Now he finally understood why those leaders liked Cao Chunyuan. She really dared to say it.
If it were him, he would have to consider whether his speech would have an impact on the relationship between the two countries. Even if he hates the other party in his heart, he cannot publicly say such remarks that are not conducive to the relationship between the two parties.
But Cao Chunyuan is different. She is not an official. She only speaks on behalf of this project. How she speaks is her personal issue and cannot be raised to the national level.
Xue Zhengchuan was happy, but the mustache in the audience was panicked.
Cao Chunyuan's words were too targeted. He did not dare to admit on behalf of his country that their previous judgment was wrong, and he did not dare to admit that China's agricultural scientific and technological power had surpassed his country's.
If he dares to say that today, when he returns to China, he will commit suicide and be buried under his own cherry blossom tree!
[I am a reporter and I refuse to answer this question!]
Seeing that Mustache gave up, Cao Chunyuan smiled slightly and did not continue to make other shocking remarks.
It was precisely because of the mustache episode that the subsequent questions from reporters became normal. Everyone made some remarks about the project, and few people asked Cao Chunyuan for trouble, or had ideas about Huaxing 001 hybrid rice.
Cao Chunyuan's side is progressing smoothly, but the audience in front of the TV can't sit still. Many people are cursing the mustache just now.
Especially the audience in Yanjing, which was closest to the press conference, some even brought guys with them to prepare to go outside the Diaoyutai Hotel to block the mustache who just spoke.
These audiences are ready to give him a hard time and let him see what the true style of a great country is. The style of a great country not only has excellent qualities such as humility, courtesy, and etiquette, but also has qualities such as education and rules that he does not have.
The press conference did not end successfully until 12:30 noon. After the meeting, Cao Chunyuan, who was about to leave with Song Yulong, was stopped by Xue Zhengchuan.
"Xiao Cao, don't leave in a hurry, come here and tell you something."
"ah!"
Cao Chunyuan glanced at Song Yulong who didn't stay to wait for her, and could only reluctantly walk towards Xue Zhengchuan with small steps.
"Boss Xue, didn't this meeting end successfully? There is still a lot of work waiting for me to handle in our company. I will not interfere with the rest."
"Ha ha!"
Xue Zhengchuan shook his head dumbfounded. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't know how much he would want to get closer to him and establish a good relationship with him to facilitate future operations.
But Cao Chunyuan, unless he takes the initiative to find Cao Chunyuan, Cao Chunyuan will never take the initiative to find him.
Now that he has taken the initiative to retain Cao Chunyuan, this guy still wants to run away. Xue Zhengchuan doesn't even know how to say that Cao Chunyuan is fine.
"It's good for you to ask you to stay. I just received a notice from the traffic control department that the traffic outside is very congested, and there is a wave.
Uh, on the contrary, there is traffic jam outside right now, so you can just stay and have lunch, go back to your room and rest until you leave in the evening, or you can leave tomorrow morning!"
Cao Chunyuan blinked and looked at Xue Zhengchuan in disbelief. The location she was currently in was the Diaoyutai Hotel, which was a place where big bosses and foreign guests were received.
There may be traffic problems in a place like this. Isn't that a joke?
If something really goes wrong, Song Yulong, the leader of Yanjing, will be the first to be criticized. But looking at his appearance just now, it doesn't look like something happened at all.
Also, Xue Zhengchuan's eyes were evasive and his words were unclear. He must be hiding something from her.
Since Xue Zhengchuan is unwilling to explain, there must be a reason why he does not want to make it clear. There is no need for Cao Chunyuan to get to the bottom of this matter, which makes no sense.
"Okay, you're busy then, I'll go to the underground restaurant for dinner first."
Hearing this, the corners of Xue Zhengchuan's mouth twitched and he thought to himself, you are really insufferable. If I don't take the initiative to invite you, don't you know how to have dinner with the rest of us?
Many of the people attending the meeting today are leaders of the agricultural sector. As an agricultural researcher, shouldn’t you take the initiative to establish good relations with everyone?
"Cough, cough"
Xue Zhengchuan pretended to cough, lowered his head, and said softly: "Several leaders will go to the restaurant for dinner in a while. If you have nothing to do, come with us!"
Hearing this, Cao Chunyuan shook her head repeatedly. What she feared most was eating with leaders like Xue Zhengchuan.
She eats very casually, as long as she is full and satisfied, but Xue Zhengchuan and the others are different. They have to pay attention to seating arrangements. Each seat represents a different status, such as chief seat, host companion, tea and water position, etc.
She felt a headache just thinking about it.
There are also rules such as waiting for others to use chopsticks first when eating, drinking tea and toasting as much as you need, and not raising your glass higher than others.
When she thought of these messy rules, she felt like her scalp was numb, like ants crawling!
"Leader Xue, I'm very hungry. I'm going to find something to eat first. Let's get together with you leaders!"
Goodbye, Leader Xue!"
After saying that, Cao Chunyuan didn't give Xue Zhengchuan a chance to refuse at all, and disappeared like a happy rabbit.
Looking at Cao Chunyuan's disappearing back, Xue Zhengchuan sighed helplessly. Everyone has their own pursuits. If Cao Chunyuan's ambition is not here, he will naturally not force it.
B1 restaurant.
Originally, the restaurant was only open to leaders who came to attend the meeting, but today's situation is special. Today, the restaurant opens its doors. All people who come to attend the meeting, as well as many foreign journalists, can enter the underground restaurant to dine.
As soon as Cao Chunyuan walked to the door of the restaurant, she saw several blond and blue-eyed foreign reporters lining up at the door.
Cao Chunyuan had no interest in them, and was not prepared to compete with them offline. She strode to the queuing area, picked up a tray, and lined up behind everyone.
"Miss Cao, why are you dining underground? You should go to the small cafeteria on the first floor to dine."
Just when Cao Chunyuan was looking around to see what food was available in the restaurant, a waiter wearing a red staff trotted up to Cao Chunyuan.
Cao Chunyuan was stunned. She saw everyone else going to the underground restaurant, so she followed them. She didn't know there was a small canteen on the first floor.
Now that she was about to be queued, she refused the waiter's suggestion.
"It's okay, I'm not very hungry, I can just eat whatever I want!"
The waiter blinked, thinking that what I was talking about was about eating, and what I was talking about was about my work. You just showed off your skills at the meeting, and then you turned around and went to the cafeteria to eat.
These are all foreign reporters. If we ask them to take two photos and say that you are left out and can only eat in the underground cafeteria, we will not do it.
The waiter forced a smile and whispered: "Ms. Cao, many of the people dining here are foreign reporters. You don't want them to capture you dining alone in the underground restaurant, right?"
If this kind of thing is reported, it will cause a very bad public opinion storm!"
Well!
Cao Chunyuan curled her lips, thinking that you are really unqualified to be a waiter. There are more things than I thought of. I didn't even think of so many things.
Co-author Now that I have become a celebrity, I have to pay attention to the impact of what I say and do. I can't even eat in public. Why do I have to suffer?
Instantly, Cao Chunyuan, who was not very hungry, felt a little unmotivated. She waved her hands and said, "Then I won't eat. I'll go back and rest!"
"Uh, this"
Seeing Cao Chunyuan leaving with a lonely look on her face, the waiter was dumbfounded. In her opinion, although Cao Chunyuan was not an official leader, she had a huge influence in the agricultural research circle.
Especially among young people, Cao Chunyuan's influence is even greater. I heard that many young people are preparing to apply for agriculture-related majors because of Cao Chunyuan.
From this, we can see Cao Chunyuan’s influence in this aspect.
She couldn't understand that such a young, powerful and influential person would be unhappy because he couldn't eat in the cafeteria.
As soon as Cao Chunyuan walked out of the underground restaurant, the mobile phone in her pocket vibrated, and she quickly took out her mobile phone.
The caller number turned out to be her home phone number. The house at home has been renovated and is ready for habitation?
Cao Chunyuan answered the phone with strong curiosity, "Hello!"
Li Xianglan's complaining voice came from the phone, "Where are you? Why have I been calling you for so long and it keeps saying that I can't get through?"
Hearing this, Cao Chunyuan glanced at the restaurant behind her. It should have been underground just now, and the signal was not good.
"My signal was not good just now. Why did you use your home phone to call me? Our house has been renovated?"
"Our house has been built a long time ago, but it has not been decorated. We have been living in your second aunt's house for more than half a year, and we cannot live in someone else's house forever.
The house was almost decorated in the past two days, so we moved back in because it is more convenient to live in our own home."
Cao Chunyuan could tell from Li Xianglan's words that the house was probably only half decorated before the old couple moved back in.
But it's understandable when you think about it. Their family has been living in Li Jianguo for more than half a year. Even if they don't care, they can't stay at their relatives' house forever.
"The house has just been renovated. Please ventilate it more and don't rush to live in the house."
"We know that your dad and I just watched you attend the press conference, and your dad went to burn paper for your grandfather. I called you to ask when you would be back."
Only then did Cao Chunyuan know why Li Xianglan called her suddenly. It turned out that she saw her on the news.
This was not the first time for Cao Chunyuan to appear on TV. These things had already lost their novelty. What she was more curious about was that Cao Shien had not lost his novelty yet and went to burn paper for grandpa again.
As for when to go home, Cao Chunyuan hasn't decided yet.
