In the office, Zhang Tianhao was sitting on an office chair, looking at the documents in his hands, but his mind had already flown to an unknown place.
After all, it was normal work time now, and he still had to go to work on time. At least on the surface, he couldn't see any criticism. As for finding fault, he had no choice.
"Qin, this is the process tonight. You are a Chinese. Can you see what are the unsuitable ones?"
"Kara, if it's the city government's dinner tonight, I suggest you don't worry about it. The city government is in charge now. If you forcefully intervene, the problem will be yours. Do you understand?"
"I know, but the ambassador's safety is most important."
Kara also knew what Zhang Tianhao meant, but she still expressed her opinion in a low voice.
"No, Mr. Ambassador should not have any security issues. After all, the Ambassador is a German, not a Japanese. In this case, no one will trouble the Ambassador. This is a rule agreed between countries.
.”
"Oh, you know this rule?"
"I don't know, but I have heard about it, although I don't know whether it is true or not. However, I think even anti-Japanese people will not come to trouble us at this juncture."
The two chatted casually in the office. Although the space was quite crowded, the environment here was like this. Even if it was temporary, it was much better than having one person in an office alone.
"The translator's name is Rochel, the ambassador's name is Xi, and the deputy ambassador's name is Lovell. Don't get the wrong person, or you will be laughed at."
"I know!"
Of course Zhang Tianhao knew that if he admitted the wrong person, he would be laughed at. As for Rochelle, the translator, and secretary Ke Jason, all of this had nothing to do with him.
Now he just has to do his own thing well. As for whether to fire him or let him work until the end of the year, this is no longer his decision.
…
In the evening, in the banquet hall of the city government, Mayor Xu held a cocktail party on behalf of the Puppet Manchuria Xinjing City to welcome the arrival of Ambassador Xi. During the entire cocktail party, people came and went.
Each and every self-proclaimed gentleman was holding a red wine glass and communicating with the people around him. Ambassador Xi and Deputy Ambassador Luo Feisheng had the most people around them.
Compliments came one after another, and beside him was the translator Rochelle. It was obvious that Rochelle was quite competent as a translator. He also made some jokes.
Zhang Tianhao was sitting alone in the corner with a glass of red wine in his hand. Even looking at the many guests here, he lowered his head and picked up the knife and fork and started eating.
Although tonight's banquet is a cocktail party, there is still quite a lot of food here, including beef, mutton, and even a large number of exquisite foods. You can choose whatever you want to eat.
"Qin, why are you sitting here eating alone and not going over to dance?"
At this moment, Kara's voice sounded in Zhang Tianhao's ears, directly interrupting Zhang Tianhao's eating.
Zhang Tianhao raised his head slightly, glanced at Kara, and laughed directly.
"Kara, come, let's have a drink. This banquet is for the big shots. We, the little guys, are just here to eat. Why not worry about the rest!"
"Qin, you have exposed your true nature!"
"Haha, if eating is called nature, then it doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I eat every day. I haven't eaten anything tonight, so I have to come and eat some. I'm hungry!"
"Isn't that very rude of you? But there are many people looking at you secretly!"
"Tch, just watch it. I didn't eat his food. It's from the city government. If you don't eat it, it will be wasted. Don't you think so?" Zhang Tianhao didn't feel embarrassed at all, but took a sip of wine.
Then he forked another piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
It doesn't matter if you arrive, it's not working hours anyway, so it's better to be more casual.
She quite recognized Zhang Tianhao's uncoquettish character, but she really couldn't let go of the welcome banquet tonight. After all, she had to pay attention to his image.
As for Zhang Tianhao, he has no such scruples.
"Kara, would you like some? I guess you haven't eaten yet, so you need to rest your stomach first. It will probably take a while before the evening is over."
"No, I have to go over with the deputy envoy to translate later. Unlike you, it's very casual." Kara just smiled, then stood up again and walked towards the other side.
Deputy Ambassador Lovell, he had noticed it, but he had no intention of going over to help. After all, he, a Chinese, went to help and had a bad impression. It would be more appropriate to leave it to Carla.
After eating for a few minutes again, Zhang Tianhao sat on the sofa alone, then looked at all the people in the reception, half leaning on the sofa, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Watching a play, he came over tonight, firstly to attend the cocktail party, and secondly to watch the play.
He doesn't need to do anything more, but he can't do anything now. After all, his status determines that he is not suitable for it.
"Dear guests, please move and jump now. The following is slow three!"
The host above started to announce the music, and when he saw the music above, he started to play, and the surrounding guests also stepped aside, put down their wine glasses, and started to find someone to dance with.
The city government has specially prepared dance partners. Relatively speaking, if you can't find one, you can find a dancer nearby to dance. Of course, most people will not do this. After all, it is a matter of losing one's identity.
The first dance was performed by Carla and Ambassador Xi, and the deputy ambassador also had special city government staff to find a special partner for him to dance with.
As these high-ranking officials entered the venue one after another, everyone else also found a partner and started dancing.
However, the venue was so big, a large number of guests still sat on both sides, watching the people dancing in the middle, and even Mayor Xu joined in the dancing.
"Qin, you made it easy for me to find you. I didn't expect that you would hide here alone and be lazy!"
At this moment, Secretary Huang came over and sat directly next to Zhang Tianhao. He smiled politely and raised his glass to indicate.
Zhang Tianhao also raised his glass, thanked him, and then took a sip.
"That's laziness there. I'm just a little transparent. If I go there, wouldn't it be ugly? It's better if I sit here and watch them chatting and dancing. It's more fun than watching a movie."
"You, you are not such a person, aren't you?"
"No, I just like to watch other people. As for me dancing in person, that's not much. After all, dancing is very tiring. Watching other people dance, especially beautiful women dancing, is a kind of enjoyment."
"I see, you came here to enjoy life. It seems that my level is far inferior to yours!" Secretary Huang Daoyang said politely. He also made a choice with Zhang Tianhao and sat on the side looking at the people on the dance floor.
Everyone.
"Well, you still enjoy it, why didn't I notice this!"
"It's not that you haven't discovered it, but if you were in my position, you would find that the scenery along the way is also so beautiful, instead of having a broader perspective like when you reach the top of the mountain."
He also said something complimentary.
"Hahaha, Qin, you are too humble. I am still far away from the top of the mountain. I am not even the mountainside. I only climbed a few steps up the mountain."
"Then I'm still hundreds of kilometers away from the foot of the mountain? Hahaha!"
