Gritting his teeth, he pushed open the door and walked in. Yu Fan's mood at this moment could no longer be described as nervous. It should be considered numb from nervousness. The old man of the Xu family, Xu Tianxing, was a senior member of the party and state leaders. He studied abroad. He has been to many countries. He has devoted his whole life to the diplomatic career given to China. He once translated for our beloved Prime Minister. He has not been idle after retiring to the second line. He has participated in the translation and review process of many works of older generation leaders. Such Don't talk about being angry at yourself. Even thinking about what kind of attitude the old man would use towards him made Yu Fan tremble with fear. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. In his heart, he complained a little more about his father-in-law Lin Dongfang.
The study room is very simply decorated. It is in line with the style of the older generation. The first thing you see is rows of bookshelves and a sea of books. Although there are many books, Yu Fan is sure that the current county and city leaders use the study room as their own study room. The facade is different, because many books have traces of being turned over not long ago. They are also covered with various bookmarks. However, they do not appear messy. They are neatly placed on each bookshelf. The compartments of the bookshelf are also It is spotlessly clean. It is impossible for someone who is not a book lover to be so careful and patient.
An old man with gray hair was sitting behind the desk. He was looking at the photo frame in his hand with a sad expression. The sadness on his face affected Yu Fan who was standing in front of the desk unconsciously. He couldn't help but feel sad for a moment. .Yu Fan's heart was filled with sympathy for such an old man. It was as if the old man sitting behind the desk at this moment was just a father. A father who felt extremely sad because of the loss of his beloved daughter. Unknowingly. Even Yu Fan himself began to feel a little bit of resentment towards Lin Dongfang.
Suddenly, Yu Fan woke up with a start. Suddenly, his body felt weak. A feeling mixed with resentment flashed in his mind. How could he feel like this? It seemed that he had sensed the old man's heart without knowing it. But he didn't feel that he was affected by the old man's sad mood. It actually affected him to feel resentful towards Lin Dongfang. This has never happened before. This is the first time this kind of thing has happened. Even if he couldn't sense it before, he wouldn't let it happen. Yu Fan couldn't help but feel frightened when he woke up from his emotions. If this happened often, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't go insane. Thinking of this, his face turned white and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Just as he was thinking about it, the old man sighed softly and looked up at him. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but frown. "You are Yu Fan, Xiao Ning's current husband." Yu Fan was stunned when he heard this. What does "now" mean? Husband, is there someone from the past? I was about to answer, but I found that the old man seemed to be speaking in English. He subconsciously replied in English: "Yes. Grandpa, my name is Yu Fan. You always call me Xiaofan." That’s it.”
It seemed that he was quite satisfied with Yu Fan's English pronunciation. The old man hummed slightly, nodded and said: "Yu Fan, male, graduated from a third-rate university in Central South Province. After graduating from university, he entered the township where he worked. It took less than ten years. He has been promoted from the most basic staff to the current deputy department level, and is now a district and city-level leader. Hmph. I am in my thirties and have abdominal pain in my actual job. It seems that your father-in-law spares no effort for your sake." When the word 'father-in-law' was mentioned, the old man's voice improved significantly and was full of disdain.
Standing there, Yu Fan started to sweat on his back. He got to know himself to a certain extent. This is not very strange. It’s just that the previous sentence was in English. This sentence is actually in German. The old man was clearly taking a test. Myself. But listen, there is something wrong with these words. It means a complete denial of oneself. It is an obvious personality attack. Yu Fan wanted to endure it, but in the end he frowned and couldn't help it. He blurted out: "Grandpa, I think what kind of school you go to is not the most important. The important thing is to study seriously. No matter it is third-rate or first-rate, it is always the person who studies, not the school... "
At this point, I seemed to realize who was opposite me. I felt regretful. I couldn't help but pause. Finally, I gritted my teeth. I raised my head and said, "It's not a shame to start from the grassroots level. Taizu, he still has It has been said that from the masses to the masses, listen to the voices of the people, do more practical things and do good things for the people. This is what every member and every leading cadre of our party should do."
At first, Yu Fan just felt that he had been insulted, so he blurted out the words, naturally in German. After suddenly waking up, although he felt a little regretful, he still took a gamble. Aren't you going to test me? That's good. Instead of waiting passively, it's better to take the initiative. At worst, it will make the old man's impression of him worse. Anyway, that's the case now. So he said the last sentence in Italian.
After saying this, he accidentally saw a flash of appreciation in the old man's eyes. Yu Fan suddenly felt confident in his heart. He straightened his chest and said in fluent Portuguese: "Grandpa, as for what you said, it will take less than ten years." To get to where I am now is to attribute it to certain people and to erase my personal efforts. I think that’s an unfair statement.”
At this time, Yu Fan did not dare to mention Lin Dongfang's name. Who knew what would happen. But even so, the old man frowned when he heard this. Yu Fan felt nervous and said quickly: "Of course. Among them It is undeniable that there is some external help. However, over the years, I have worked hard with a public spirit and dare not neglect at all. I have done my job well within the scope of my responsibilities. I have never dared to go beyond the slightest. No relative has benefited from my power in the slightest. Over the years, I dare not say that I have been serving the people wholeheartedly. But I dare to say that I am doing the work of serving the people. I have lived up to the oath I made when I joined the party."
After saying this, Yu Fan felt guilty for a while. The old man glanced at him expressionlessly. "Serve the people wholeheartedly. How many people can achieve this level? In a leadership position, as long as you can make a difference every time When making a decision, it is not easy to think about the people." These words seemed to be murmuring to himself, and seemed to be an affirmation of Yu Fan's intention. In the end, the old man seemed to have thought of something, and sighed quietly. .
Although the old man still had no expression on his face at this moment, his tone of voice softened a lot. Just after listening to what the old man said, Yu Fan felt a wail in his heart. It was actually in Arabic. This old man really thought highly of himself.
"Yes. I know that I still have many shortcomings. I went to the party school this time just to strengthen my study in all aspects." This did not go as the old man expected. Yu Fan responded in French this time.
The old man glanced at him, smiled for the first time, and said, "I heard from Xiao Yang that you are going to work in the Translation Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this time." Yu Fan was stunned when he heard the Spanish this time, and Xiao Yang reacted. After Xu Chaoyang, he replied in Korean: "I am just taking a temporary job. I have no intention of developing in diplomacy. I am not very good at this aspect."
The old man frowned slightly when he heard this. He glanced at him and said, "You are pretty good for being able to learn so many languages by yourself in a school like that." This time, he used Russian. The old man wanted to embarrass Yu Fan. It’s over.
There was a wry smile in his heart, but he said quite calmly on his face: "No matter what school it is, people will always learn. There are no bad schools. There are only people who don't learn." He spoke in Japanese. Although Yu Fan was not very good at it. I like this language. But facing this old man with excellent language skills, Yu Fan is really afraid that he will be speechless.
It seemed that he was at odds with Yu Fan. The old man glanced at Yu Fan and said with a slight smile: "Although you are right, I still want to know. Is there any other language you can't speak?" Thai. Yu Fan felt a little numb in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said, "If you continue, grandpa, I really won't say anything anymore." Although he said so, he answered in Vietnamese.
At this point, the old man no longer concealed his appreciation for Yu Fan. He smiled and said: "I really want to test your bottom line, but that's it for today." Yu Fan smiled bitterly after hearing this. It has to make people feel at ease. But why does Indian sound so uneasy?
"If you, old man, continue to take the test like this, I will really be at a loss for words." The old man and the young man are both cunning and cunning. Although Yu Fan has a wry smile on his face, he speaks without mercy. He said a Persian sentence The words came back.
Hehe smiled. The old man seemed to be very interested in Yu Fan. He smiled at him and was about to speak. There was a knock on the door. A woman's voice came over. "Dad, Xiao Ning is here to see you." "The old man was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked at the photos on the table. After a long time, he sighed. "Come in."
Yu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly said, "Grandpa, I'll go out first." In this situation, I'm really not suitable here. The old man seemed to understand this. He looked at him and nodded with a smile. nod.
Turning around and opening the door, she saw Lin Ning standing with another middle-aged woman. It was Xu Chaolin's wife and Lin Ning's second aunt. Perhaps it was her relationship with Lin Ning. Her second aunt's attitude towards Yu Fan seemed very kind. Seeing Yu Fan came out and smiled and nodded. Lin Ning, on the other hand, looked at him with a worried look. Yu Fan naturally understood what she meant and nodded with a smile.
After closing the door, Yu Fan stood outside the door. He breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Only now did he realize that his entire back was soaked. This old man is simply a language genius. I heard others say before When someone could speak more than a dozen languages, he still dismissed it. This time he was really convinced. He was a little doubtful that there were other languages that this old man could not speak. But Yu Fan now He was also a little proud. He had to cope with such a difficult thing. It seemed that he was pretty good. But when he thought about how he came up with these words, he felt a sigh in his heart. For the first time, Yu Fan began to feel grateful for his ability to sense.
Just as he was hesitating whether he should go to the front to meet Xu Chaoping and the others, he heard Lin Ning's crying and the old man's sigh coming from the study. Of course, his second aunt's consolation was also unavoidable. This made Yu Fan's faint worry disappear. He disappeared without a trace. You must know that when he went out just now, he quickly glanced at the photo on the old man's desk. The woman on it was very similar to Lin Ning. But now it seems that Lin Ning's this time Recognizing one's parents is a step towards a perfect ending. As for Lin Dongfang, if he wants to get forgiveness from the Xu family, in his opinion, it may take a long time for good things to happen.
