Ji Yanzhi: "...Don't talk about Wu Jiaxu and Xie Haoran, I just treated them as amusement at the beginning, and I didn't put them in my eyes."

"Well, it seems that Wu Jiaxu and Xie Haoran will be released in a year." Tang Tiantian said what the counselor told her the day before yesterday, frowning slightly: "The two of them have always liked to be angry and they have identified them. The jail is related to you. Ji Yan, will they..."

"What will happen? Will trouble me?" Ji Yanzhi curled his lips in disdain. "It's hard to get me trouble because of the two of them." If you really can't figure out how to enter, then you can go in again and sing behind bars.

"You have an idea."

Tang Tiantian yawned. It was late at night and it was time to go to bed and rest.

No dream for a night.

On the second day, Ji Yanzhi went to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs step by step.

The building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a gray-white arc-shaped structure, which looks very solemn and quiet. A lot of flowers and trees are planted in the compound, which adds a bit of tranquility. Entering from the gate, Ji Yanzhi walked directly to the small independent office he owned without stopping at all.

Just as Ji Yanzhi opened the document, and when he was preparing to translate English by hand, the concealed office door was pushed open from the outside.

"Do you want a place for the trainer of foreign trainees in the interpreter department?" the interpreter department clerk asked.

"I want a place." Ji Yanzhi replied: "It's been quite idle lately anyway."

"Then we will get busy." The interpreter staff member, Sun Sun, said with a smile: "As soon as Countryman M comes, we must all move."

The Translators Department conducts training once or twice a year, and the trained personnel are all graduates of the previous or recent foreign language college (Diplomatic Academy), and they are graduates who have voluntarily accepted the assignment and unconditionally obeyed the arrangements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Generally, after participating in the training, most of the trainees will be sent abroad, with only a few staying in the country, translating documents on weekdays, and doing some coordinating work of receiving foreign guests when they are busy, such as when an international sports meeting is held. As for Ji Yanzhi, Su Hongjun, Jia Chun and the three who directly entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as they graduated, the biggest reason is that they are among the elite, and they all have advantages that ordinary people can't compare.

For example, Ji Yanzhi's advantages, um, the advantages on the bright side are proficiency in multiple languages ​​and a fondness for talking.

The training time for the expatriate trainees is set after M’s visit to China, and Ji Yanzhi and Sun Sun will be responsible. A few days later, the M party's visit to China officially arrived at the Beijing Airport. The leader personally led the team to greet him, and then a more intimate private meeting was held.

As a translator, Ji Yanzhi participated in the whole process.

After the talks, it was no accident. Following the visit of MPs from the M side, an entourage named Tom extended a sincere invitation to Ji Yanzhi.

Said it was the first time I came to China. I am not familiar with the capital of China, Beijing, and I want to visit the famous National Palace Museum and Great Wall and other scenic spots. I sincerely invite Ji Yanzhi to take up the work of receiving foreign guests and lead him and Companions strolled around Beijing.

The meaning of the drunkard is naturally not in the wine, but Ji Yanzhi did not take it seriously, and very enthusiastically accepted the sincere invitation of the entourage named Tom.

After that, he pretended not to know that there was temptation and repeated temptation, and led Tom through the streets and alleys of Beijing with extreme hospitality, not only to the Great Wall of the Forbidden City, but also to Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant. Second-rate.

It can be said that Ji Yanzhi's excellent diplomatic methods not only failed Tom, the excellent FBI, but also allowed Tom to successfully invest in the food industry and become an operator who loves Chinese cuisine.

Of course, the most important thing besides that is that through Tom, Ji Yanzhi completely dispelled the FBI organization's suspicion of the four-person party headed by Su Hongjun and Ji Yanzhi. Since then, the target of suspicion has been placed on country Y,

This is the result that Ji Yanzhi wanted. Doing a job and loving a job, even if Ji Yanzhi has the ability, cross-border work will be tiring. So hide the vest and be a guy who likes to speak in multiple languages.

A serious public press conference is fine, as well as a serious press conference with a funny character. Anyway, Ji Yanzhi has been in the diplomatic world all his life, and no one should think that he will move easily. Well, it is impossible for others to let Ji Yanzhi move easily.

The topic was too far apart. In short, after sending the M team to China to visit, Ji Yanzhi devoted himself to the training of expatriate students.

The job of training expatriates is tedious and meaningful.

This training is led by the Training Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The main trainees are recent graduates of the Japanese Department. Most of them are from the Beijing Foreign Languages ​​Institute, and there are also recent graduates from other municipal schools. However, compared with the recent graduates of the Beijing Foreign Language Institute, there are more than half, accounting for only a quarter of the proportion.

It’s also funny. Last time, Su Hongjun and Jia Chunhe conducted training. They mainly trained English in a large language. They didn’t meet a few classmates in the same class. And this time, because many of the classmates in the original class chose Japanese and Korean as an elective, this time Ji Yanzhi met a lot of classmates...not from the schoolmates, but classmates.

Is this a coincidence of fate?

In short, Ji Yanzhi's character in this life makes people who like him like him very much, and people who don't like him are very disgusted. After the start of the training for the expatriate trainees, Ji Yanzhi encountered several opportunities to practice oral English to find faults.

For this kind of guy who doesn't do much after graduation, just waits step by step but doesn't think about opportunities and it is not easy to hit the door by himself, Ji Yanzhi has always been merciless. Since he dared to jump out when his girlfriend, Comrade Tang Tiantian, picked him up, what Ji Yanzhi could do besides slapping his face according to his ‘requirements’.

Tang Tiantian smiled and watched the whole time, with a proud look of "My man is great".

However, when the two of them were holding hands, Tang Tiantian raised objections when they walked back to the residence.

"Is it appropriate for you to be so unrelenting?" Tang Tiantian said with some worry: "I don't know exactly how to train. It's just that Lao Su and Chunhe did the training carefully and meticulously, and he was busy almost every day. I didn’t get off work until 7 or 8 o'clock..."

Ji Yanzhi cut off the stubbornness, and asked very much on the matter. "Let's not discuss the seriousness of Lao Su and Lao Jia. Anyway, they are serious about their work. I will just ask you, how many expatriate trainees they participated in successfully rushing to work overseas? Is it less than half. "

Tang Tiantian frowned, thinking.

Ji Yanzhi said again: "You know? Sun Sun has already estimated that one third of the trainees who finished the training course with excellent results are pretty good."

In fact, this time participating in the training, the number of recent graduates from the Japanese Department exceeded the psychological expectations of the leaders. And what to do if there are too many people, it will naturally be a big wave of sand, choosing the best and staying entrusted with the important task.

This kind of thing is tacitly understood by the staff who participated in the training of expatriate trainees. It's just that the political sensitivity is not high. For example, people like Tang Tiantian who are focused on academics and may have higher achievements are not very clear.

There was silence, and Ji Yanzhi said again: "There are two old dogs, Lao Su and Lao Jia, Bah, with these two capable people as role models, can I perform better than them? It is necessary to not be able to keep up with them. "

Tang Tiantian faintly felt that there were other meanings in it, but she couldn't guess it, so she reluctantly accepted Ji Yan's connection, and she can't do things better than the prudent and rigorous Su Hongjun, Jia Chun and the comrades' crooked heresy.

After returning home, Tang Tiantian put a briefcase containing teaching materials for postgraduate entrance examinations and put it on the sofa. She smiled and asked Ji Yanzhi: "Do you want to eat scrambled eggs with mushrooms?"

"What?" Ji Yanzhi suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but dig his ears. "Scrambled eggs with mushrooms? Isn't it food poisoning?"

"Nonsense. Eggs are made by chickens. This chicken can be used to cook with shiitake mushrooms. Why can't eggs be used." Tang Tiantian, incarnate of one hundred thousand reasons, has been lobbying Ji Yanzhi to make this dish. Tang Tiantian is not good at cooking, and still maintains the habit of eating the school cafeteria.

We must know that the student cafeteria in China has always been a mystery. Scrambled eggs with mushrooms is a normal dish, like fried mooncakes with green peppers, fried meat with orange slices, fried bananas with tomatoes, and steamed eggs with ants are the leaders in the dark cuisine world.

I remember that at the beginning, the original owner Ji Yan had eaten a whole cucumber and stir-fried green onions. From then on, he opened the door and went out to find restaurants that did a good job of special vegetarian dishes. When it was serious, Su Hongjun, who was still a general acquaintance at that time, suspected that he was It’s not that there’s a problem with your studies, and you want to become a monk, because the original master Ji Yan has discovered that in terms of the good craftsmanship of vegetarian dishes, he still wants to recommend the master in the temple.

"Or, let's cook hot pot?" Ji Yanzhi tried his best to make Tang Tiantian forget his recent thoughts about the special dishes in the canteen of the Beijing Foreign Languages ​​Institute. , I’ll go to the nearby vegetable market to buy some vegetables, let’s cook in hot pot."

"Yes." Tang Tiantian changed her mind with some regret. "Go and come back quickly, I will defrost and cut the lamb at home."

With an OK gesture, Ji Yanzhi took his wallet and went out.

There is a large shopping mall near the apartment building where Ji Yanzhi lives. It occupies the fifth floor of a commercial building. There are two floors underground. They are all supermarkets selling daily necessities, vegetables, fruits, and fresh poultry. Ji Yanzhi didn't go to other floors and took the elevator directly into the supermarket.

I bought beef, some fresh vegetables, seafood, and soy products. I paid at the cashier. When I was about to go home with large bags and small bags, Ji Yanzhi received a call from Sun Sun.

"What's the matter?" Ji Yanzhi walked home and answered the phone.

"Work overtime tomorrow Saturday." Sun Sun said concisely and clearly on the phone: "It is estimated that there is something important, and the leaders need to give instructions in person."

Ji Yanzhi: "Okay, I see, I will arrive on time tomorrow."

Ji Yanzhi hung up the phone and quickly returned to the residence with large bags.

Tang Tiantian has simply defrosted the mutton and cut it into thin mutton rolls with a household cutting machine.

"Come back!" Tang Tiantian ordered: "You come to fry the hot pot base, I will choose the dishes."

Ji Yanzhi obediently put on his apron and started to stir-fry the hot pot ingredients. Tang Tiantian was washing and choosing dishes in the sink on the side.

The two chatted with each other, and Ji Yanzhi told Tang Tiantian about the overtime work tomorrow. Regarding this, Tang Tiantian knew a general idea.

"The second International University Games seems to be held ahead of schedule. Isn't your Ministry of Foreign Affairs talking with the directors of the United Nations, trying to make the second International University Games be held in Beijing? Could it be that the conversation has made a breakthrough. "

"...It should be. Otherwise, Sun Tzu (Sun Sun) will not specifically call to inform you to work overtime tomorrow. It is estimated that Sun Sun's important thing will be announced, which means that the second International University Games will be held in Beijing."

Tang Tiantian: "If this is the case, then staff from the School of Foreign Languages ​​will inevitably be recruited to receive participating college students from various countries in China."

Ji Yanzhi nodded, agreeing with Tang Tiantian's point of view.

On the second day, Ji Yanzhi, in a suit and shoes, went to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ahead of schedule. When the time came, Sun Sun happened to arrive, and the two took them to the meeting room, and sat in the meeting room waiting for the arrival of the leader. After a while, Comrade Tang, who also served as the head of the translation department, walked into the conference room.

"Is it very curious that I just told you two to work overtime?" Comrade Tang said with a smile.

Ji Yanzhi deserves to be a little expert, and shook his head decisively: "I'm not curious, I'm not curious at all. Minister Tang, you are a pit, and you are easy to be pitted if you don't pay attention. Think about taking the lead in teaching local people to farm in Tanzania. Su Hongjun, Jia Chun and Comrades, do I dare to be curious? I am afraid that I will also fall into the pit and be pitted to the South Pole."

Comrade Tang: "Antarctica? Why don't you talk about the Arctic? What's in Antarctica? Observation station? What do you do as a translator who is proficient in multiple languages ​​going to the Antarctic Observation Station? Explain Marx's thoughts to Penguins?"

Ji Yanzhi expressed surprise: "Penguins understand human language?"

"Penguins don't understand human language, but I think you must know the penguin language. If you really want to go to the South Pole, you will be able to get along with the penguins very harmoniously, and you will definitely be able to help the penguins and build a new socialism."

Sun Sun tilted his head and snickered, as if he felt that Ji Yanzhi's confrontation with Comrade Tang had obviously fallen behind. Unexpectedly, Ji Yanzhi took out a Parker pen directly out of his shirt pocket, and wrote the four characters'People are hard to tear down' on the white paper.

This was originally a humble remark, but it made Old Comrade Tang feel that his blood pressure had risen suddenly, and he was nearly bursting his blood vessels.

Comrade Tang took a few deep breaths, and when he calmed down, he ignored Ji Yanzhi's eyebrows and winked, and spoke directly. It was almost the same as expected. This time, the requirement to work overtime on Saturday was indeed because the Second University Games was held ahead of schedule, and the venue was changed from St. Petersburg, country Y, to Beijing, China.

"The universities that are determined to participate in the University Games are all internationally renowned universities. There are Shanghai University and Hua University participating in Hua Guo..." Comrade Old Tang spoke eloquently.

Ji Yanzhi and Sun Sun listened honestly. After Comrade Tang finished talking, they discussed with each other. Comrade Tang called Ji Yanzhi and Sun Sun separately, naturally, he wanted them to be responsible for arranging staff to receive visitors from other countries.

After discussing for a while, Ji Yanzhi said: "I contact Tiantian and ask her to introduce some foreign language students to help the staff of the consulate to receive foreign guests."

After all, there are more than 20 participating universities, all from different countries in the world. This is equivalent to receiving guests from more than 20 or even more countries-people from other countries who have not participated in the college students will come to watch the game in the way of tourism-just rely on the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to receive them one by one. , The difficulty is really big and cumbersome.

Arrange the assignments reasonably, and their chief executive is in charge of the overall situation, which is the most correct way of thinking.

Comrade Tang agreed to Ji Yanzhi's suggestion without any discount. After the meeting ended, Ji Yanzhi used the office line to call Tang Tiantian. Tang Tiantian was just after class at that time, and she was chatting with her seniors who were in the same dormitory, who also had the same postgraduate entrance examination, and who also chose to stay in school to teach.

After receiving the call, Tang Tiantian was ‘umh’ the whole time, and even the ending remarks when she hung up the phone was ‘know’, the senior sister asked a little curiously. "What's the matter? Your boyfriend has something to do with you?"

"Let me introduce some people and go to the Foreign Affairs Translation Department for interviews." Tang Tiantian explained to the senior sister: "Know about the International University Games, it has been confirmed that the second one will be held in Beijing."

The senior sister asked a little surprised: "Student Ji Yan said how many participating countries are there?"

Tang Tiantian: "Twenty-five countries have been determined to participate."

"Doesn't you need a lot of volunteers?" The senior sister thought for a while, and then said: "It just happens to be nothing lately. They are all learning step by step. I will count as the number of volunteers who receive foreign guests."

"Okay." Tang Tiantian smiled softly, and said softly: "Then elder sister accompany me to the dean of the department, and let the dean of each department introduce it."

Tang Tiantian and her senior sister went to the heads of various departments, and after explaining the situation, the heads of each department arranged personnel to follow Tang Tiantian to the Foreign Affairs Translation Department.

The Foreign Affairs Translation Department is located on the fourth floor of the Foreign Affairs Office Building. There is a special meeting room with a large area, and the interview location is located in it. However, it seems that the directors of the various departments of the Beijing Foreign Languages ​​Institute have introduced a lot of students, and there are hundreds of them. So basically all of them entered one by one and interviewed separately.

The so-called interview is just to let the students who are called to translate and recite a well-formed speech in the language they have learned. There are very few unqualified, only a few students stutter a little because of nervousness, and recite intermittently.

Regarding this, no matter what the reason is, Ji Yanzhi and Sun Sun brushed it down without mercy. After all, people who receive foreign guests, even volunteers, represent the face of the country. If you look okay on weekdays, and you are so nervous that you stutter when something happens, who is ashamed. Even if behind this person, go through other ways to beg to be in front of him, Ji Yanzhi firmly disagrees that this kind of person is mixed into the team of translators.

Time flies quickly, and soon the opening day of the Second International University Games is approaching.

During this period, Ji Yanzhi, like Sun Sun, spent almost all his meals and accommodations in the diplomatic office building. As Ji Yanzhi's family member, Tang Tiantian did not live in the school dormitory anymore, but moved out nearby, going in and out of the diplomatic office building every day, helping Ji Yanzhi and Sun Sun, and coordinating the transfer of translators.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Interpretation arranged in this way. A country was led by a secretary and accompanied by twenty foreign language volunteer students. In short, he was responsible for receiving guests from 25 countries, and almost all the second- and third-class secretaries of the diplomatic office were allotted.

Oh, Tom, who was successfully developed into a Chinese food lover by Ji Yanzhi last time, set foot in China again as one of the leading teachers of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in M ​​country. So naturally, the M country students who participated in the competition were received by Ji Yanzhi, the official position as the second secretary, and the translator at the deputy division level.

As soon as they met, Tom gave Ji Yanzhi a big hug. And Tom exclaimed in an exaggerated tone: "For months, I really miss you and my friends, and I miss the street food in Beijing more. By the way, let's go to eat pancakes and fruits later, I deliberately keep my stomach. Did not eat the free meals provided on the plane."

Ji Yanzhi: "..."

——You can’t see the outside like this, but you seem to miss pancake fruit more than you miss me!

Ji Yanzhi slandered, and then immediately said: "Okay, when I arrange your accommodation, I will take you to eat pancakes and fruits."

The universities from various countries who come to China to participate in the 2nd International University Games are equipped with security personnel. Ji Yanzhi’s arranging residence is just to take them to a private club that is specially vacated for guests from all over the world to live in. .

This work was completed very quickly. At least Ji Yanzhi rushed to the food stalls that flowed around the zoo and brought Tom to the fragrant food stalls selling pancakes and fruits.

"Come four, no no no, eight pancake fruits, no coriander, just a little chili." Tom said to the food stall owner while speaking in Chinese that he was not very proficient in.

"Can you finish eating eight?" Ji Yanzhi asked hesitantly.

Like Ji Yanzhi, when he eats pancakes and fruits, he can eat up to two, and keep the belly delicious. But Tom is obviously different. The eight pancakes are divided into half and half of Ji Yan, and there are four. If they are all stuffed into the stomach, they will definitely not be able to eat any other food at all.

So Ji Yanzhi said again: "I also want to invite you to a newly opened snack food with a Sichuan flavor."

Tom has already paid, and he doesn’t matter what he says: "Oh, then go eat tomorrow. Ji, my friend, you didn’t know that since you took me to taste the pancake fruit last time, I returned to M country. I miss the deliciousness of pancakes all the time. Unfortunately, they are not sold in Country M. Why are they not sold in Country M? God, this is a kind of torture."

"God doesn't care if the Chinese will sell pancakes in country M." Ji Yanzhi spit out, and took the other four pancakes that Tom had shared with him, and ate them with Tom on the side of the street.
