In fact, the state banquet is usually held in the evening, and since we still need to climb the Great Wall this afternoon, and Admiral Elting and the others are flying back to China at 5:30 this afternoon, the state banquet is held at noon.
After the national anthems of the two countries were played and the toasts were served after the speeches, Admiral Erting put down his wine glass and inadvertently saw Gu Chen walking towards him.
After saying "sorry" to Mr. Duan, he stood up and greeted him personally, "Oh, dear Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I really miss you so much."
He hugged Gu Chen like an elder and met Gu Chen in a very gentlemanly manner.
"It's a wonderful day. I didn't expect to see you so soon. I know your school is not the capital of your country, but a certain distance away. I just, um, I just wanted to ask. I didn't expect to see you so soon.
I'm so happy to see you. I'm very, very happy to see you."
To everyone's surprise, Admiral Edin, who never smiled seriously during the military talks, turned out to be very affectionate to a defense student.
Gu Chen was not surprised. This serious-looking general was actually not very serious. He would have a humorous side and be very enthusiastic. But... because of his position, he had to do it just like Mr. Duan.
Maintain your dignity.
He smiled slightly and said: "I am also very happy to meet the general again. After returning from the United States, I always thought that it would be a long, long time before I can see you again."
Simultaneous translation was useless. Gu Chen spoke very fluent American English with a bit of a New York accent and communicated with Admiral Elding in a graceful and elegant manner. This was not at all due to the fact that he was in a splendid place with national dignitaries present.
And stage fright.
His brows were bright, his eyes were as clear as waves, his smile was full of smiles, his gestures were elegant and generous, and he had a faint noble temperament. For a moment, the heads of state who were sitting with Admiral Elding couldn't help but nod and smile.
He is indeed a very good student, and his magnanimity is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
At the state banquet, Admiral Erting had humorous conversations with Gu Chen from time to time, and even joked to Mr. Duan: "I once proposed to Gu, hoping that she could be my grandson's wife. It is a pity that Gu did not propose at that time.
My request was considered without any hesitation. My grandson has not found a girlfriend yet. When I came to your country, I asked him if he was still waiting for Gu."
"He answered affirmatively, yes, he is waiting for Gu. Oh, God, I didn't expect that my grandson would be so affectionate. At the same time, I was not surprised. Because I knew that Gu was a great person.
Soldier, she is worth waiting for my grandson."
Mr. Duan's eyes flashed with a very small degree of pride, he smiled at Gu Chen, picked up his wine glass and toasted to General Erting, and replied with the same wit, "For General, you are a soldier of our country and you have not become a soldier of our country."
Your grandson's wife is a pity, but for me, it is a very lucky thing. Because you and I are thinking about the same question."
Young and old, young and old, even when you are old, you still have a little childishness, even if you are in a high position.
The old man's answer made Admiral Aldin burst into laughter, and he clinked glasses with the old man. Admiral Aldin replied humorously: "Then we can totally watch from the sidelines, whose grandson can make Gu his wife.
I think we can all drink their wedding champagne."
