Chapter 265: Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden
The appearance of two young girls in the delegation surprised the uncles and aunts. When they heard that these two girls were instructors hired by Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, all expenses were paid.
After it was self-financed, everyone's first reaction was that Qingfeng Factory was so awesome that they could actually get so much foreign exchange to put on such a show.
Surprised, surprise, having these two girls in the team really made the whole team lively. Qin Shan is introverted and usually doesn't talk much, but Ning Jing has seen some of the world with her father, so she was a little shy at first.
After that, she quickly became familiar with the officials and leaders in the regiment, and there were more than a dozen of them vying to accept her as their goddaughter.
Qin Hai felt no psychological pressure from taking Li Linguang, Liu Shuo and others abroad. But taking Ning Jing and Qin Shan with him felt somewhat inappropriate. When the delegation gathered in the capital, Qin Hai hurriedly went to Cui Hongchun to explain, saying
: "When Western companies hold this kind of exhibition, they will invite some beautiful women to be commentators. This can enhance the company's affinity. We arranged for Ning Jing and Qin Shan to go abroad for this purpose."
Cui Hongchun just smiled slightly and nodded to express his acceptance of Qin Hai's explanation. But when there was no one else around, he quietly called Qin Hai to his side and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Qin, tell me the truth, this Qin Shan
Is she your sister? Also, is Xiao Ning related to Factory Director Ning? "
As Qingfeng Factory became a provincial enterprise, Ning Zhongying's level was also upgraded to the director level, but compared with Cui Hongchun, it was still far behind, and it was not Cui Hongchun's concern at all. It was just because Qingfeng Factory exported rotary tillage blades
The incident attracted too much attention, so Cui Hongchun remembered the name Ning Zhongying. Now that he learned that the name of the little girl brought by Qin Hai was Ning Jing, how could Cui Hongchun not contact Ning Zhongying?
"Minister Cui is wise..." Qin Hai replied with a timid smile, "Qin Shan is indeed my sister, and Ning Jing is the daughter of Director Ning, but taking them both abroad has nothing to do with Director Ning.
.”
"They are already here, let them follow." Cui Hongchun also felt helpless towards Qin Hai's Meng Lang. He sighed and warned: "Don't make this matter public. If word spreads, it will have a bad impact."
"I know, I know. Don't worry, I will let them keep a low profile." Qin Hai promised firmly.
Cui Hongchun was just worried about preparing for a rainy day. In fact, except for Leng Yuming, Li Linguang and others, basically everyone else in the delegation had never heard of the name Ning Zhongying, let alone pondering the origin of Ning Jing.
At that time, it was quite normal for such delegations to include several family members of leaders. On this trip to Brazil, there were also a few inexplicable middle-aged women who came to Brazil on the same plane as everyone else. At first glance, they did not work in agricultural machinery.
Who would be so free as to question their origins?
When they first heard that Qin Hai was going to take them abroad, Ning Jing and Qin Shan were both happy and surprised. They were both happy that they had the opportunity to go abroad to see the world, but they were also worried that there would be such and such things abroad that they could not handle. This
Along the way, the two girls were almost inseparable from Qin Hai. However, after transferring through Madrid and arriving in Brazil, the two people's restraints had disappeared a lot, and their curiosity finally defeated their fear:
"Brother, look at the foreigners' buildings, they are so tall. They are much higher than those in Hongze!"
"Qin Hai, why are foreigners so rich? The streets are full of cars..."
"Xiao Jing, look, there is a black man there..."
"Shan'er, can you understand what's written on that signboard? It doesn't seem to be in English..."
Two little girls were sitting on the bus chartered by the embassy, looking at the scene on the streets of Sao Paulo and feeling overwhelmed. In fact, how many people in the bus could remain calm? Among the more than 30 people in the delegation, there were only a few who had actually experienced going abroad.
There were less than 10 people, and the rest were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, everything they saw felt new.
The delegation stayed in a hotel booked by the embassy, which was very close to the venue of the expo. Since this was an agricultural technology expo, the venue was not arranged at the exhibition center, but at a local farm so that the exhibitors could
The performance of various types of machinery was demonstrated on the spot. Since it is a farm, it is a certain distance from the city of Sao Paulo, which made those group members who came with the purpose of tourism and shopping full of complaints.
Cui Hongchun knew that the composition of the delegation he brought was complicated. Even as a deputy minister, he had nothing to do about the situation. He discussed it with Tian Yuzhong and finally decided to arrange a car to send some of them to visit downtown Sao Paulo.
, he stayed by himself and took other people to the farm to set up the exhibition. The expo was going to be held the next day, so they arrived relatively late.
"Let's all stay and set up the exhibition."
The people brought by Qin Hai all volunteered to stay and work. Except for Ning Jing and Qin Shan, the others were here to work. Naturally, they would not let Qin Hai off the hook at this time. Although the two little girls
They were very playful, but they also knew that Qin Hai spent a lot of foreign exchange on taking them out. No matter how ignorant they were, they would not clamor to go out to play at this time.
Qin Hai nodded and said to everyone: "If everyone can bear it physically, let's go to the exhibition with Minister Cui first and leave the opportunity of shopping to others. Don't worry, I will find time to arrange for you to go to the market later.
District, we won’t miss any of the places that should be played.”
"Xiao Qin, you don't have to worry about us. We didn't come to Brazil to have fun. We have work to do." Leng Yuming expressed his position on behalf of everyone.
Qin Hai pulled Li Linguang and Yue Kun out and said to them: "Teacher Li, Teacher Yue, you two should not participate in the exhibition arrangement. You should follow the embassy's car and go to the city together.
"
Li Linguang was very disdainful of Qin Hai's arrangement. He glared and said, "Xiao Qin, what do you mean? Don't you understand who Lao Yue and I are? We are here just like Lao Leng and the others.
We have no interest in things like work and shopping."
Qin Hai chuckled and said: "Teacher Li, things like setting up an exhibition are all manual work. Who should you and Teacher Yue do? I invited you two here to sell thermal spray equipment. This matter is now
Don’t worry, we have to wait for a few days after the expo before anyone will pay attention to this aspect. So, there won’t be much for you two to do these days.”
"That's not possible. We can help you guard the stall. In short, we are not interested in shopping." Yue Kun shook his head like Li Linguang.
Qin Haidao: "I know you two will definitely not go shopping. You rarely go out. Don't you want to go find the local university in Sao Paulo and communicate with them?"
"Looking for exchanges with universities?" Qin Hai's suggestion made the two professors a little excited. Anhe Institute of Technology is not ranked well in the country, and the opportunities for international exchanges are almost rare. Now it is difficult to come abroad.
It would indeed be very interesting to go to a local university and chat with foreign colleagues.
"Yes, Saint Paul University is famous in the world. Don't you two want to go for a walk?" Qin Hai asked with a smirk on his face.
"Well... I'm afraid other people won't be interested in visiting the university, right?" Li Linguang said hesitantly. Although he has never been abroad, he has read many academic journals in foreign languages. Naturally, he knows the status of St. Paul University and can
He could name several of the scholars. If given the chance, he would really like to find these scholars to communicate with.
Qin Haidao: "You don't need to act with them at all. They are here for tourism, and you are here for academic exchange. I will go to Counselor Tian to talk to him later and ask him to help contact the University of St. Paul. Then when you get to the city
, just take a car there alone. In the past few days, you can live in downtown Sao Paulo, visit more universities, and promote our technology by the way, what do you think?"
Having said this, he took out a stack of U.S. dollars from his pocket, handed it to Li Linguang's hand, and said: "This money is what you have spent these days. Now that it has come out, don't look too shabby. Too shabby is nothing."
It’s something that is insulting to the national dignity.”
As an overseas delegation, each member can receive a few dollars of pocket money every day, which is enough to buy a hamburger on the street. It is completely impossible to do anything else. Some people who are thinking about going abroad to shop,
They would exchange some U.S. dollars through various means in the country and take them with them. Li Linguang and Yue Kun were both scholars in the ivory tower, and they would not do such a thing, so they did not have any foreign exchange in their hands.
Qin Hai knew that it was difficult to move without money. Before leaving the country, he contacted Leonardo in Spain and asked him to help exchange some foreign exchange. He took advantage of the delegation's transit in Madrid and sent it to Qin Hai.
The amount of foreign exchange is not small, enough for Qin Hai to do various things.
"How is this appropriate..." Li Linguang took the stack of dollars with some embarrassment, counted them briefly, and couldn't help being shocked: "This is 2,000 US dollars! Xiao Qin, how did Lao Yue and I use so much money?"
"Teacher Li, you and Teacher Yue are both university students after all. Is it still too much to carry 2,000 US dollars with you? Your task these days is to fully carry out academic exchanges and make more friends. Maybe you will be both in the future.
It'll come in handy." Qin Hai helped Li Linguang put the money into his pocket, and then warned him with a smile.
Unable to withstand the temptation of academic exchange opportunities, Li Linguang and Yue Kun finally boarded the car arranged by the embassy. Qin Hai told Tian Yuzhong through Cui Hongchun that the two professors wanted to go to the university for academic exchanges, and Tian Yuzhong promised to help them.
Make contact. He has seen too many people who go abroad to play, but few people seize the opportunity to go to school to carry out academic activities. Tian Yuzhong is willing to facilitate this matter.
After seeing off Li Linguang and Yue Kun, Qin Hai brought the remaining people on his side to Cui Hongchun to listen to Cui Hongchun's orders.
