"Minister Tang, you are so enthusiastic. If there are no problems, we would like to sign the trade contract as soon as possible. What do you think?"
"Of course that's good~"
"Also, we need to set up an office. I hope Minister Tang can help me and see if the approval procedures can be speeded up."
"This is easy. As long as the embassies on both sides have confirmed it, you can go through the green channel for formalities." Minister Tang patted his chest, "If it doesn't work, I will personally supervise it."
"Then it will be hard work."
Minister Tang laughed: "What's the point? We are all exploring at the beginning of the reform. The eastern coast will be laid out first. The capital must also set a demonstration for the time being, right? Otherwise, people in the interior will not dare to go.
If we do, how can the economy develop?"
Gordon and Minister Tang stood together. He nodded, gave Minister Tang a thumbs up, and praised: "Minister Tang is really brave and resourceful!"
"Well done, well done. Hey, let's keep looking. Over there, go over there. There are cultural bracelets played by ancient people over there..."
A group of people walked to a display stand, and Minister Tang introduced it as he spoke: "In ancient times in our country, dignitaries would play with some small objects, such as this. Please take a look, it was what the ancients played with...
.Small-leaf red sandalwood, and this pair of walnuts, well, and this...this is the blood-dropping lotus..."
"Bloody Lotus?" Gordon followed the direction of Minister Tang's finger and became interested, "Minister Tang, why is this thing called the Bloody Lotus?"
Before he was promoted, Minister Tang was the leader of the Department of Culture and Tourism of a certain province. He had a lot of exposure to this field, so naturally he also knew quite a lot about his rivals.
It happened that Minister Tang also had a hobby of collecting bracelets in his spare time, so he introduced Gordon to a lot of knowledge about the bleeding lotus.
Gordon nodded while listening to Minister Tang's introduction attentively. When Minister Tang was talking endlessly, he interrupted Minister Tang and said: "Minister Tang, I would like to ask, apart from you, who else is there?"
Who likes to play with these bracelets? You also know that I am very interested in this handicraft, so I was thinking about adding a trade order and going to our country to try the water..."
When Minister Tang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Mr. Gordon is interested in cultural toys?"
Gordon nodded: "I think this thing is very cultural. Minister Tang also knows that people in our country are very interested in your country's culture. Our domestic education circles have also been calling on you to apply to our country.
There is a school there specifically to teach your language and writing. But I don’t understand something... Is Minister Tang the only one interested in this kind of thing? Are there any friends that Minister Tang knows?
Can you introduce me to him?"
Minister Tang hummed, thought for a while and said: "I have a friend whose son likes to collect toys. He has more bracelets than me. If Mr. Gordon is interested, I can introduce him to
you."
Gordon nodded, smiled, took out a photo, pointed at the man in the photo and said, "Minister Tang, is this the person you are talking about?"
Minister Tang took a closer look and nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, that's him. His name is Wanbo, eh? Why does Mr. Gordon have a photo of him?"
Gordon smiled and said, "A friend of mine asked me to come here."
Minister Tang suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Mr. Gordon, Mr. Gordon, you have been going around for a long time just because you want to see this person. Okay, no problem. I will make arrangements for you as soon as possible."
"Thank you very much, Minister Tang."
Minister Tang laughed and took two steps forward happily: "Mr. Gordon, come here, there are other cultural toys here, come and take a look."
Huang Chi approached Gordon and asked him in a foreign language: "You are really interesting. Since you know it is Wanbo, why don't you go find it?"
Gordon chuckled and replied: "If I go to him directly, I'm afraid he will doubt me."
"I don't understand your family, I don't care about your business." Huang Chi waved his hand, "I have something to do, I'll leave first."
Looking at Huang Chi's retreating figure, Gordon secretly thought: "The Beacon Order belongs to the royal family in the end."
...
Wanbo hasn't looked for Zhang Yue'e since he last saw her. It's not that he doesn't want to, but it's just that he's been troubled recently.
Although the old man in the family did not object to his contact with Zhang Yue'e, he was not satisfied with Zhang Yue'e's family background, so Wan's father introduced another minister's daughter to Wanbo.
"Dad, can I not go? I really don't like that woman." Wanbo said with a frown.
How could Wan's father allow Wan Bo to resist, and said sternly: "What's wrong with the meeting? Man, it's always right to pick more. Besides, Zhang Yue'e's father is also a battalion-level staff officer, so he is not as good as the woman you want to see."
The child’s father.”
Wanbo was very dissatisfied with his father's arrangement, but he knew that he could not resist because that was how his brother's marriage was arranged.
It's just... that Wanbo always felt that he was at a loss before he could get Zhang Yuee'e.
No, no matter what, we must get Zhang Yue'e and abandon her when the time comes.
Thinking of this, Wanbo chuckled, took out the blood-dropping lotus bracelet from his arms, put it on his wrist and shook it twice.
When Wan's father saw the bloody lotus on Wan Bo's wrist, he frowned and said, "Do you know who is playing with these things? People like you are the ones who lose their minds by playing with things."
Wanbo said: "Dad, I'm not just playing around. Recently, the Bureau of Culture and Tourism has a batch of materials to make this kind of handicraft. I just took a sample to look at, and I will make some other things while I'm at it, hehe."
Wan's father clicked on Wanbo and warned: "It's okay to have fun, but don't go overboard, you know? After all, your status is different. If you run around wearing something like this all day long, how do you want others to see me?" After saying that, Wan's father backed up.
Set out to leave.
Watching Wan's father leave, Wanbo curled his lips and took out a jade plaque from his trouser pocket. This jade plaque was engraved with a giant snake and a centipede. The jade plaque was lavender in color. Wanbo took the jade plaque above his head.
, looked at the sun and murmured: "Well, the lavender also diffracts a hint of green, it's really nice."
"Well, this brand is good. The more I look at it, the more I like it." Wanbo took the jade plaque in his hand and rubbed it repeatedly. He didn't stop until the jade plaque was heated.
.......
In the evening, Minister Tang sent someone to see Wanbo, saying that a foreign trade delegation had recently visited and wanted to see him by name.
Wanbo originally planned to take the jade plaque with him, but then he thought about what to do if he drank. He was too drunk. Wouldn't it be terrible if he lost the jade plaque due to drinking?
After much thought, Wanbo decided to put down the jade plaque and just keep it at home. He was afraid that his mother would dig it out.
Wan's mother has a mysophobia. If her father or Wanbo leave the Wan family, her mother will thoroughly clean the place where they have stayed. Many times, her mother will throw away her father and his things without paying attention. There is only one reason for this.
--dirty.
Thinking of this, Wanbo decided to go to his old sweetheart and put the sign at her place first.
"Please tell Minister Tang. I'll be back in a moment. I still have something to deal with."
After sending away Minister Tang's people, Wanbo hurried to his old friend's residence.
...
In a certain courtyard, a graceful woman was holding a watering can to water the flowers. Her fingers were slender, and a small light red flower was painted on the nail cap of each finger.
The woman squatted down and poured water from the watering can on the flowers and leaves little by little, and then she hummed a song.
The courtyard door opened with a creak. The woman raised her head and smiled, "You still know how to come and see me?"
Wanbo chuckled and closed the courtyard door, approached the woman, put his arms around the woman's slender waist, and said: "Of course I want to come see you. Oh my, aren't you busy these days?"
The woman pushed Wanbo away and pretended to be angry: "You know how to lie to me with your mouth. I don't care. You haven't come to see me these days. You have to give me a gift, otherwise I won't forgive you."
Wanbo was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and put his arms around the woman's shoulders: "I'll save the gift another day, but I have something to put here for now. When I come back, I'll get it from you." With that, Wanbo took out the jade token and put it in his hand.
The woman swayed in front of her face.
When the woman saw the jade sign, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and the next moment, she became jealous.
"Don't think you can get rid of me with just a jade sign?"
Wanbo said: "Of course I know, so I will leave it here for you first. When I prepare a big gift for you, I will come and exchange it with you, okay?"
The woman smiled and hugged Wanbo's neck: "Are you serious about this?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Okay~" The woman took the jade token from Wan Bo's hand, "Then leave it here for now. By the way, you are here in such a hurry, do you have anything else to do?"
Wanbo nodded: "Didn't a foreign trade delegation come recently? Let's not talk about it for now. I don't have time. I'll leave first."
The woman looked at Wanbo walking out of the courtyard and asked softly: "Then when will you come back?"
Wanbo didn't even look back and said: "Soon."
.......
The woman closed the courtyard door and quickly took out the jade sign and looked at it carefully. Her heart was beating wildly because this jade sign was the beacon order that the family was looking for.
"Didn't you expect that I got the beacon order?" The woman held the jade token tightly in her hand. She couldn't believe that it would be her turn for such a pie-in-the-sky thing. She quickly entered the house, closed the door, and took the box out of the box.
Take out a black cube.
He stretched out his hand and pressed the center of the black square. A light green light shot out from the black square and shone on the wall. A pattern of about eight inches suddenly appeared on the wall.
This is a pattern of a sika deer. There are two knives on the antlers. Under the antlers, there is a line of unclear text. In the center of the deer's body, there is a big "Lu" character written on it.
