Feng Nan ended the day's amnesty meeting and hurried back to the hotel. Today's progress was a little slow. Only 7 people were dealt with in the whole day, three were pardoned and four were shot. It seems that if we don't hurry up,
, the three-day scheduled time cannot handle 29 people.
In the hotel lobby, Feng Nan met Yang Liming. He had just finished handling the affairs of the volunteer's family when Feng Nan asked: "Is everything going well?"
Yang Liming smiled and said: "It went smoothly. Everyone is not stupid. We all know that we have to keep a low profile when we are in a foreign country."
Just when Feng Nan was about to speak, Ni Lang appeared out of nowhere. This man seemed to have this ability. He was usually invisible to people, but as soon as Feng Nan came back, he would appear within ten seconds with a smiling face.
, looking diligent.
When Feng Nan saw him appearing, she turned around and asked directly: "How are the preparations for the reception dinner for these compatriots? It must be exquisite."
Ni Lang put up a menu and said: "This is tonight's dish, please review it by Your Excellency the Viscount. Since we are compatriots, of course I will do my best to entertain you."
Feng Nan didn't take the menu and said directly: "You just have to make arrangements. Also, the business agent sent from Xiangdong has arrived. You can contact me. You will be responsible for this line from now on. It is related to the people's livelihood in Xihe District. It's careless."
No."
Ni Lang nodded and said, "Of course."
Feng Nan then said to Yang Liming: "We will invite the volunteer families to the dinner tonight. Most of our brothers will participate, but safety is also very important. It must be done both externally and internally, so that this matter can be done smoothly.
It will save you one more trouble.”
Yang Liming nodded and said: "Don't worry, Zhao Yuan, Xia Gang and Lao Zheng and I have discussed it and made sure nothing goes wrong."
Feng Nan said: "Of course you guys can do things reliably, so I'll go upstairs first."
Yang Liming said with a smile: "We have to attend a dinner party tonight. Although we are newlyweds, don't get too angry. It will be troublesome when your legs are too weak to go downstairs."
Feng Nan scolded: "Get out! Wait for a few days when the situation gets better and bring your wife and children. I'll see how many days you can stay paralyzed in bed!"
Yang Liming smiled on his face, but his heart twitched. He really had some secrets in this regard.
Feng Nan went back upstairs and opened the door directly. Lan Xiaoyu heard the door in the room and came out of the bedroom. When he saw Feng Nan, he was stunned. Feng Nan smiled and said: "What? It's only been a few days.
acknoledged."
Lan Xiaoyu suddenly turned around and ran back to the room. Feng Nan followed and saw that Lan Xiaoyu threw herself on the bed, covered her head with a blanket, and ignored him with her back turned. Feng Nan knew that this was a complaint.
He left without any discussion, so he smiled and refused to persuade. He took a change of clothes and went to take a shower. Then he came out and got into bed. He hugged Lan Xiaoyu from behind, started from the base of the ears, and kissed her tenderly.
Lan Xiaoyu stubbornly resisted at first, but gradually, her tense body became softer.
Ni Lang really did a good job. From the specifications of the dishes to the decoration of the hall, everything was done perfectly for the reception banquet. Although it cannot be compared with the first-class hotels in China, in Wangdong City, this banquet should be regarded as one of the best.
A total of eight large round tables were set up for the reception banquet. Each round table could seat at least ten people. Before the banquet started, a large African-style straw woven flower basket was placed on the turntable in the middle of each round table, filled with flowers and fruits.
, many of them are local specialty fruits, washed cleanly and arranged according to color and size. There are four small plates around the flower basket, and toothpicks and paring knives are neatly placed in each small plate. On the table outside
There are eight small dishes of cold dishes on the table. Why should China and Africa share half of it? It allows everyone to appreciate the strong African style without being unpalatable.
Although the round tables are the same, according to Chinese rules, the seats are also divided into upper and lower seats, even for round tables. In terms of the overall situation, the top two tables have the highest status, and are arranged to seat the family members of the volunteers who died and then the surviving volunteers.
Those who cannot sit at the two tables and their family members will sit down one by one. The last two tables are only for relatives such as brothers-in-law and cousins.
When arranging the seats, two seats were reserved for each table. These are for accompanying guests and are also based on status. Although the people have not arrived, seat cards have been placed first. In addition to their names, the seat cards also have official titles. The accompanying guests at the first two tables
They were Feng Nan and Quan Guangwen, and two tables down were Liu Shijia and Ou Liang. The ones further down were accompanied by ordinary Xihe District civil servants.
Although Yang Liming, Zhao Yuan and others had high status, they were responsible for security work, so they did not attend the meeting. There was also Sun Jiahao. Although Professor Sun was also highly respected in Xihe District, he happened to have a heat cold and was old.
I'm so old that I can't afford to be sick, so I won't be able to attend tonight.
There are two greeters at the door of the restaurant, one black and one yellow, and two armed police guards. In addition, there is a reception officer who is responsible for checking the guests' tags. The inspection is very strict. If you don't bring the tag, you must go back to get it, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter.
Let enter the restaurant.
"It's like going to jail." Although some people complained, the deterrent effect of the baton meal in the afternoon was still there, and they knew that these police officers were really willing to strike, so they complained and went back to pick up the tag obediently. And those volunteers
He also advised: "You must obey the rules here, otherwise you will not be respected."
As the owner with the highest status, Feng Nan, although he had arrived long ago, did not come out to the lounge at the back and did not let Lan Xiaoyu come out. Lan Xiaoyu said: "Why are you so arrogant? I never noticed that before.
"
Feng Nan said: "You think I am willing, but I can't control the situation without airs. You saw what happened this afternoon."
Lan Xiaoyu said: "It's not just in the afternoon. I knew I was your girlfriend along the way, and I was very angry. Looking at the situation, everyone will not give up until they pay 1.8 million. To be honest, I really
I'm scared, I didn't expect you to have such a big scene here."
Feng Nan said: "It's not me who caused such a big scene, it's just a group of homeless people who want to keep their own place, so whoever causes trouble here will be unlucky, no matter who he is."
As they were talking, Yong Xin, dressed in professional attire, with a badge on her chest and a folder in her hand, came over. She bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency, Mr. Viscount, Miss Xiaoyu, it's time."
Before Feng Nan could nod her head hurriedly, Lan Xiaoyu responded with a stunned sentence: "You are a young lady, and your whole family is a young lady."
It is said that women's intuition is very good. Indeed, Lan Xiaoyu was very displeased when she first saw Yong Xin, so she spoke very hastily.
Feng Nan gently shook Lan Xiaoyu's hand and said, "This is a formal occasion, please pay attention to your identity."
Lan Xiaoyu was not happy after being told by Feng Nan, but he still held his hand and walked to the banquet hall together.
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, the lights came on. Quan Guangwen and others took the lead in standing up and applauding. The police officer in charge also saluted with a gun. When the others saw this, they had no choice but to stand up and applaud. For a moment, Lan Xiaoyu felt that all her face had been restored.
.
Feng Nan came to the main seat, stood still and said, "Please sit down, everyone." After saying that, he opened the chair for Lan Xiaoyu and let her sit down, and then he sat down.
There was a ceremony before the banquet started. Ni Lang found a master of ceremonies, who turned out to be from the bar. He had practiced for two days for this moment, trying his best to get rid of the bar atmosphere. Because of his thoughtfulness and caution, he was able to
The hosting was quite satisfactory.
When it was Feng Nan's turn to speak, everyone applauded again. According to what Sun Jiahao taught on the hospital bed, Feng Nan first smiled and let the applause ring for three or four seconds, and then stretched out his hands, palms down, and applauded.
Then he stopped, and then he said in a clear and gentle voice: "Welcome everyone. I heard that something unpleasant happened in the afternoon, but you are still welcome. The reason why Xihe District welcomes you is because you have good children and good relatives.
, good friends, they are all excellent people, first of all I would like to introduce these excellent people to you."
As Feng Nan spoke, the lights dimmed, and a white curtain fell in front of the banquet hall, with a slide photo showing a young man wearing a bachelor's cap, holding a diploma in his hand, and smiling.
"Mr. Lin Ming." Feng Nan continued to say in a solemn and gentle voice, "27 years old, Bachelor of Medicine, volunteered to provide medical services in Fortuna Kingdom, and helped many people with his superb medical skills. During the latest inspection, due to
The patrol team was attacked by rebels. In order to protect his colleagues, he bravely resisted the rebels until he was killed. The last person to see him was Ms. Deng Mengjia, a survivor of the patrol team, who was shooting at the rebels with an assault rifle."
Following Feng Nan's words, everyone turned their attention to the survivor Deng Mengjia. Deng Mengjia was a little short of breath, but still mustered up the courage to stand up and said: "Lin Ming is a very brave and selfless person."
"He will be awarded the Medal of Valor and the Medal of Distinguished Service by the Fortner royal family." Feng Nan said, taking the lead in applauding, and Quan Guangwen and others also led everyone to applaud together.
After Deng Mengjia sat down, a woman next to her held her hand and said, "Lin Ming is my son."
Deng Mengjia burst into tears and shouted tremblingly: "Auntie."
At this time, the slide photo was replaced by a young and beautiful girl. Feng Nan continued: "Miss Zhang Xueli, graduated from the provincial nursing school..."
Feng Nan introduced the names and deeds of the sacrificed volunteers one by one, as well as the honors they received. After all the introductions were completed, he began to introduce the names and deeds of the surviving volunteers one by one. The following ones were those who did not participate in the patrol team.
After the names and deeds of the volunteers were finished, Yong Xin handed him a glass of wine. Feng Nan took it and raised the glass and said: "Here's to our heroes!"
Yang Liming was the first to stand up and raise his glass and said: "Here's to our hero!"
Everyone also stood up and raised their glasses.
A good-hearted relative in the crowd whispered to the people around him: "That's the end of it? Why don't you give me a medal after just a few words?"
The man next to him applauded and said, "Calm down a little. Haven't you received enough beatings this afternoon? People's lives are never taken seriously here."
This man had no choice but to shut his big mouth.
After that, a new slide was put on the curtain, which was a group of portraits of black people. Feng Nan said firmly: "These are portraits of the murderers hired by painters based on the memories of survivors. I have signed the order."
, During the war, these people were not accepted to surrender, and if the war ended, these people would be hunted and tried by the Xihe District police for life."
Mrs. Ling didn't understand, so she asked her husband: "What did he mean?"
Mr. Ling said: "It's just like Mossad hunting down Nazis, which means these people are dead."
Mrs. Ling said "Oh" and said: "Well, these people deserve to die. Our children come so far to help them, but they are still not compliant. But husband, what does Mossad mean?"
