Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth: Formosa delegation five
After a long time, Pang Yu looked at Xu Chaoyang with some worry and said: "Director Xu, do you think there will be any accidents?" Xu Chaoyang smiled hoarsely and said: "What accidents could happen? Haha. I still know something about this Tang Xiaowen. The eldest son of Tang Jingnian. He has always been in charge of the Tang family's property in Baodao. But now it seems that the rumors are true. The Tang family wants him to join politics. I'm afraid this thing is just for him. Let’s accumulate some political capital.”
Pang Yu nodded and said: "In that case, things are simpler. Look at this Tang Xiaowen. Do we need to get in touch?" He shook his head. Xu Chaoyang said with a smile: "That's not necessary. I think I need to be nervous now. It’s not us who are here anymore.” After saying this, Pang Yu somewhat understood. He smiled and said nothing more.
At this time, Kang Ziye walked in and whispered in Yu Fan's ear. After hearing this, Yu Fan looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Say Cao Cao. Cao Cao will be here. Tang Xiaowen is here to find us." Xu Chaoyang heard this. He smiled. But Kang Ziye had already walked in with Tang Xiaowen. When the three of them saw this, they quickly stood up with a smile.
As the eldest son of the Tang family, Tang Xiaowen inherited some elegance from Mr. Tang Jing. Yu Fan had had contact with him twice before. However, he did not talk in detail. When meeting the three of them, Tang Xiaowen seemed very polite. He also put it down very low. He smiled and shook hands with the three of them and said: "My father feels unwell. This time I will attend on my father's behalf. Please ask the three leaders to take care of me."
The three of them laughed. Xu Chaoyang looked at him and said: "Mr. Tang, you're too polite. It's just a press conference. Mr. Tang will attend. We feel relieved." He shook his hands modestly. Tang Xiaowen said politely: "Father, just now I also specially told Xiaowen to learn more from the three gentlemen. I came out of the blue. If there is anything wrong with me, please forgive me."
Yu Fan was really a little uncomfortable with the literate words. He often heard such words on TV. But this was the first time that Yu Fan had seen such a literate person in real life. But Xu Chaoyang didn't care much. . He laughed and said: "Mr. Tang is too humble. He doesn't dare to learn from us. We are all just familiar with each other. Just communicate more."
While they were laughing and chatting, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs walked in. The time for the press conference had come. The four of them were humble and walked out with smiles. Although it was called a press conference, it was actually just a formality. After all, so many reporters have come to Lanjiang City. There must be an explanation to the outside world. If it is only the domestic media, it is better to say something. A few words from the leader, many things can be suppressed. But these people coming now are all overseas media. .They will not buy the face of Chinese officials. Besides, there are many people with ulterior motives among these reporters. Especially those reporters from Baodao. They are famous for being brave enough to write and speak out. They can make up things that don't make sense. There are a lot of them. Especially at such a sensitive time.
In the banquet hall of the hotel, the entire press conference was hosted by Xu Chaoyang. Tang Xiaowen was sitting next to him. Lanjiang City Mayor Pang Yu and Yu Fan were sitting on both sides. It was the first time to face so many reporters. Yu Fan was thinking I was really a little scared. As soon as I sat down, there was a burst of spotlights flashing in front of my eyes. It seemed that these people were indeed a little anxious.
Xu Chaoyang behaved very calmly. He raised his hands with a smile and pressed into the void. He said: "Journalists, Mr. Tang's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors has been successfully concluded. However, due to Mr. Tang's return this time, I am too excited in my hometown and feel a little unwell. So I asked Mr. Tang Xiaowen to attend this press conference on his behalf." At this point, Tang Xiaowen nodded slightly, and Tang Xiaowen also stood up at the right time. He smiled. Say hello to everyone.
Hearing Xu Chaoyang's words, there was an uproar in the audience. Soon a reporter stood up and asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Tang Xiaowen. Is Mr. Tang's condition serious? Will it affect your next itinerary?" Tang Xiaowen smiled slightly and said, "Please rest assured. My father is just over-excited and has a headache. As long as he has a good night's rest, he will be fine. It will not affect our next trip."
Someone else wants to ask something. Xu Chaoyang raised his hand and said with a smile: "Please be quiet, ladies and gentlemen. Good afternoon. Thank you all for coming to this press conference. The duration of this press conference will be It’s one hour. First, we will introduce to you the detailed process of Mr. Tang Jingnian’s return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. Then there will be free question time. If you have any questions, you can ask them during the free question time. Thank you all.”
After saying that, he smiled slightly and continued: "First of all, we have asked Comrade Pang Yu, the mayor of Lanjiang City, to introduce us to today's entire itinerary." After saying that, he waved his hand and looked at Pang Yu on the left. Pang Yu also smiled. He nodded and began to introduce the whole process to everyone. This had been arranged in advance. Pang Yu was also fully prepared. Naturally, there was no big problem.
Most reporters were not very interested in the whole process. After all, they were involved in the whole process. And Pang Yu seemed to understand this. He did not give a long and extensive description. He just talked about the matter very briefly. He felt the same in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief. His mission was finally completed.
As soon as Pang Yu finished speaking, Xu Chaoyang looked at everyone with a slight smile and said: "Okay. If you have any questions, you can ask them now." The reporters below had obviously been waiting for this moment. As soon as Xu Chaoyang finished speaking . Someone raised his hand and stood up. "I am a reporter from Baodao Daily. I would like to ask Mr. Tang. There are rumors that Mr. Tang intends to let Mr. Tang participate in politics. I don't know if it is true."
Tang Xiaowen smiled slightly and was about to speak. Xu Chaoyang raised his hand and said: "Comrade reporter from Baodao Daily, today is a press conference about Mr. Tang's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. I hope you can ask as many questions as possible. "It's related to this matter." The reporter nodded and said, "Okay. Then I would like to ask Mr. Tang another question. What do you think of Mr. Tang's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time?" An election is currently being held on the island. Is Mr. Tang’s trip related to the canvassing before the election?”
Tang Xiaowen frowned a little when he heard this. It was obvious that this question was targeted. But he still smiled and said: "As for my father's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time, I am very supportive. Filial piety comes first. Pay tribute to yourself. Ancestor, this is human nature. I think my father’s actions in this matter are undisputed.” At this point, he glanced at the Baodao Daily reporter with a smile and said, “About the current situation on the island. I think the issue of the ongoing election will exist before the results come out. And my father’s return to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors is just to fulfill his filial piety. It has nothing to do with canvassing votes.”
Tang Xiaowen is a politician. His speech is impeccable. This reporter could not fault him for a while. Another foreign reporter quickly stood up with his hands raised. However, he did not seem to speak Chinese dialect. The question was actually in French. The person who asked the question was Xu Chaoyang. This made Xu Chaoyang frown. This time he came to Lanjiang and he did not prepare a French translation. Although he knew a little bit of French, he did not have enough time to have a conversation. He didn't understand the French reporter's words very well. Just as he was hesitating, Yu Fan leaned over and translated in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, the Chinese government received Mr. Tang's visit this time. Does it politically demonstrate the attitude of the Chinese government in dealing with cross-strait issues? Will it be further strengthened by Mr. Tang’s visit?"
Although it was a little strange that Yu Fan knew French, Xu Chaoyang quickly looked at the French reporter with a smile and said: "The Chinese government has always had a very clear attitude towards cross-strait issues. That is within the framework of one nation and one country. Solve all problems. We have expressed this attitude many years ago. As for whether **** has been further strengthened because of this visit, I cannot answer this question, because about the future, I am afraid no one will. Know."
After Xu Chaoyang finished speaking, he saw the French reporter's face was blank. He smiled and nodded to Yu Fan beside him. Yu Fan smiled knowingly and quickly translated Xu Chaoyang's words in fluent French. The Frenchman then smiled and nodded. .Using broken Chinese dialect: "Thank...Thank you."
The questions continued. Most of the questions were directed at Tang Xiaowen and Xu Chaoyang. And Yu Fan soon discovered that the reporter from Baodao seemed to be very interested in Tang Xiaowen. The questions he asked were relatively tricky. Fortunately, Tang Xiaowen It seemed that he had been prepared for it. He answered them one by one with a calm smile. Some questions that did not involve returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors were blocked by Xu Chaoyang who was standing aside.
The foreign reporters were more interested in Xu Chaoyang. Many of the questions involved sensitive topics such as ****. However, Xu Chaoyang handled it very skillfully. Yu Fan secretly admired him after hearing this. It was indeed true. He works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country. His speech is impeccable. His answers to some questions are simply roundabout and not at all substantive.
Although there were four people on the stage, not many people asked Pang Yu and Yu Fan questions. Yu Fan spent more time helping Xu Chaoyang translate. After a few questions, Xu Chaoyang couldn't help but feel the same. He was very impressed with Yu Fan. He could speak French, German, Spanish, and even Arabic. This made Xu Chaoyang look at Yu Fan very differently. If the press conference hadn't been going on, he would have really wanted to ask Yu Fan. What language does he not speak?
"I am a reporter from Star-Hong Kong United Daily. I would like to ask Secretary Yu Fan a question." A female reporter wearing glasses stood up and said. This made Yu Fan, who had just finished translating to a foreign reporter, hear. He was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and nodded.
