The expression on her face froze instantly. After staring like that for two seconds, Gong Xue quickly turned her head and pulled Su Fanqian, "Let's go."
The welcome dinner was held at the five-star hotel where the head of state stayed.
Ten days ago, the hotel underwent an unprecedented test in terms of management, service, catering and other aspects. Taking into account the customs and eating habits of African countries, the hotel made special preparations in terms of decoration, catering and other aspects.
As usual, the venue was cleared in advance, and as usual, the venue was carefully prepared and arranged.
At around 7:30 p.m., officials and distinguished guests attending the dinner entered the banquet hall one after another after passing necessary security checks.
There are ten beautifully arranged round tables in the banquet hall, with beautiful flowers placed in the center. The national flags of the two countries are hung high in the banquet hall, and on the bandstand, there is a formal wind band playing the national flags of the two countries.
Music was played, and from time to time hotel staff who had passed the security inspection led the guests to their seats, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
Su Fanqian was a little excited, because after the head of state's wife entered the banquet hall, she saw the handsome military and police officers who had previously performed security duties at the airport scattered in every corner of the banquet hall, working nervously and orderly.
Gong Xue is also working.
She observed the movements around her intently, and every person who came close to the guest of honor table would be analyzed by her as rigorously and cautiously as an X-ray in a very short period of time.
Su Fanqian sat next to Madam, and immediately entered a professional working state.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially started.
Amid warm applause, officials took the stage to deliver welcome speeches, and the head of state took the stage to deliver a reply. Both sides followed the main theme of friendly exchanges, expounded their respective political opinions, talked about each other's economic cooperation and cultural exchanges, and looked forward to a bright future.
Afterwards, the host and guest enjoyed a sumptuous and delicious state banquet dinner.
Before the banquet started, the visiting foreign minister posted the banquet menu on social media in advance. As Chengdu has a rich food culture, the dishes are also extremely Sichuan-style.
Northern Sichuan jelly, cold noodles with shredded chicken, silver cod with chopped pepper, Dongpo pork elbow, duck with ginger and camphor tea, couple's lung slices, Kung Pao shrimp balls, Shu Xiang chicken, dandan noodles with green spinach, drunken Eight Immortals, stir-fried black fungus and asparagus,
Fish-flavored eight-piece chicken, matsutake and bamboo fungus soup, etc....
The freshness of the ingredients, the unique ingredients, the cooking techniques, and the exquisite dishes make the distinguished guests from afar feel extremely comfortable and enjoyable.
“The taste is spicy, refreshing and unique!”
“Sichuan food is the best food I have ever tasted..”
"It tastes so good! I want to learn how to fish this fish and take it back to Africa!"
The enthusiastic response from the visitors and the humorous and witty translation pushed the atmosphere of the dinner to a climax.
Finally, the dinner came to an end with the crisp clinking of glasses from both parties.
From the beginning to the end, Gong Xue, the hard-working security personnel and the hotel staff never relaxed for half a second.
The energetic head of state stood up and expressed his sincere gratitude to the guests and staff present. Afterwards, amidst warm applause, the head of state and his wife left the meeting with satisfaction.
After settling their wives and handing over the subsequent security tasks to the night duty staff, Gong Xue and Su Fanqian dragged their tired footsteps out of the heavily guarded floor.
Su Fanqian held her stomach and rubbed it, "Xue, I'm not full."
Although the banquet was sumptuous, the two of them had no luck enjoying it.
Gong Xue looked at the time, suddenly raised her eyebrows, and asked Su Fanqian, "Do you want to go out with me to eat something good?"
Su Fanqian was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, she pointed at Gong Xue, "I forgot, you said you were working in Chengdu."
Suddenly he thought of something and his face dropped again, "It seems we can only eat in the hotel and can't go out..."
Gong Xue raised her lips and smiled, "It depends on whether you are bold or timid..."
Su Fanqian's childlike nature was provoked by Gong Xue. She immediately patted her chest and said, "Of course you are brave. I will never suffer a loss if I follow you."
The two took off their work badges. Su Fanqian followed Gong Xue's instructions and asked for leave from the person in charge of the night shift. She said that her wife wanted to see some pictures of Chengdu Night Market, so she asked them to go out and take pictures.
These two girls are extremely conspicuous both in China and in the visiting country's team. The head of state's wife has great trust in them, especially the young and delicate Chinese female guard. The courtesy and preferential treatment she receives far exceeds hers.
identity..
They quickly obtained permission, left the hotel, and went to the most famous night market in Chengdu, Jinli...
Su Fanqian's superior even applied for a car for them to facilitate their travel.
The VIP parking lot is at the back of the hotel. They faced the drizzle and trotted to the passage to wait for the bus.
In Chengdu on a winter night, the temperature was extremely low. Gong Xue had a strong adaptability and thought it was okay, but Su Fanqian, who was still wearing a suit and skirt at the banquet, obviously couldn't stand it.
Because they didn't know which car was unlucky enough to be commandeered by them, they had no choice but to wait at the entrance of the parking lot.
There was no rain at the entrance of the passage, but the draft was bitingly cold.
Su Fanqian was so cold that her teeth were chattering, so she pulled Gong Xue and hid behind her...
Gong Xue's military uniform was difficult to take off for her to keep out the cold, so she stretched out her arms, like an eagle protecting a hawk, to block the cold wind for Su Fanxi.
"Didi---------" A short car horn sound came from the front...
Then, Gong Xue saw the dazzling white light of the car lights turning from the entrance of the passage, facing them, and drove over.
Su Fanqian rubbed her arms, got out from behind Gong Xue, and stared longingly at the low-key black car that could protect her from wind and rain.
It's Audi.
The car stopped in front of them smoothly, and then the passenger window was lowered.
Su Fanxi hugged the edge of the glass, bent down, and thanked the driver inside: "Excuse me... Huh! Why is it you!"
Seeing the appearance of the driver inside, Su Fanqian was immediately shocked. She leaned in in surprise, and then suddenly came out, shouting at Gong Xue in surprise: "It's that officer at the airport! He turned out to be one of us
The driver!!”
All the way we passed were the most prosperous neighborhoods in Chengdu. Although it was already late at night, the constant flow of vehicles on the main road was still sandwiched in the concrete jungle of the city, winding forward. The passionate and unrestrained never-night bar street, the fashionable and luxurious Orchid
Guifang, the high-end and grand star-rated hotels and the colorful neon lights all highlight the beauty and enchantment of the metropolis.
Gong Xue sat in the back seat, closing her eyes and relaxing.
Su Fanqian, however, had completely forgotten how she felt shivering from the cold before. She was looking at the stern silhouette in the front seat with fascination as she concentrated on driving, thinking in her mind about how to invite him to go shopping in Jinli together later.
