That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1320 Taking a nap, sending a pillow

The inspection team that Li Ye belonged to was officially organized, and many of its activities required official cooperation.

So on the second day after arriving in Sugo, Deputy Director Liang prepared to go to the embassy to establish contact with the other party, and Li Ye, who was in charge of the liaison team, was also notified to go along.

However, before going to the embassy, ​​Bian Jingjing made a phone call to Sun Xianjin, and then Sun Xianjin reported to Deputy Director Liang separately. When everyone left, the trunks of several cars were filled with all kinds of gifts.

It's already mid-December. If this were in the mainland, the most important visits of the year would have already begun between the various brother units. As for Deputy Director Liang, he represents the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry. How could he go empty-handed?

However, in the car, Sun Xianjin whispered to Li Ye, "Su'e has been experiencing a shortage of supplies since last year. My wife and Peng Ge have wanted to send some help to the embassy for a long time, but their discipline is too high. They are very polite and won't accept anything."

This time, I also assured Deputy Commander Liang that these things were purely out of warmth and absolutely contained no personal feelings involved.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Jianjin, you handled this matter perfectly."

Sun Xianjin sighed and said, "Alas, it's not that people are being wary. My wife told me that some of us here are really outrageous, and we've dragged down the reputations of Brother Peng and my wife."

"."

Li Ye instantly understood what Sun Xianjin meant.

The mainlanders who came out in the 1980s and 90s were very pioneering, but some of them took very unconventional approaches. If their actions were presented to the people at the embassy, ​​they would certainly not be well received.

Jin Peng and Bian Jingjing's donations were clearly made with the intention of "offering their hearts to the bright moon," yet they were suspected of having ulterior motives.

When everyone arrived at the embassy, ​​they were warmly received by Li Ye and his group. Even the ambassador showed up and chatted with Deputy Director Liang for a long time.

It should be noted that the embassy of the People's Republic of China in Russia is the highest-level embassy, ​​just like those in the United States, Britain, the United Kingdom, North Korea, South Korea, and Kailuo. The ambassadors are all at the vice-ministerial level, which is several levels lower than Deputy Director Liang!

When it was time to eat, they arranged for a counselor surnamed Xu to be the main host.

At the outset, Counselor Xu said with a smile, "I'm so sorry, Chief Liang, you've brought so many gifts today, but we can only arrange a simple meal. I'm truly ashamed."

Deputy Commander Liang also smiled and said, "Don't say that. This simple meal is much more delicious than any fancy restaurant meal. Besides, I'm just offering this as a token of my appreciation. It's nothing special."

"Oh?"

Counselor Xu curled the corners of his lips and asked, "Commander Liang, whose flowers did you borrow?"

Deputy Commander Liang waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand! They said it was purely to express their gratitude to you. Knowing you're disciplined, they asked me to bring you a small token of their appreciation, so I won't say who it is."

"Director Liang, you're too kind. We have rules, but we can't be completely heartless."

Counselor Xu smiled.

If it were truly a case of "doing good deeds anonymously," then there would be no need to mention "borrowing flowers to present to Buddha," so everyone is testing each other.

If you're going to give me face, we can chat and build a relationship. If you're going to keep your personal and professional life separate, then just pretend I didn't say anything.

Deputy Director Liang smiled and pointed to Sun Xianjin: "This is our colleague Sun from our department. He studied at Moscow State University, and his wife has been doing trade here for the past two years."

It must be said that Deputy Director Liang was quite kind to Sun Xianjin. His few words, though seemingly effortless, might have been of great help to Bian Jingjing. Counselor Xu smiled and said, "I know, it's that Ms. Bian, isn't it?"

Both Deputy Commander Liang and Sun Xianjin were stunned.

"Do you know Bian Jingjing?"

Counselor Xu smiled and said, "Yes, I know them. They live diagonally across from us, so they're practically our neighbors. I think I heard before that her boyfriend worked in your department. Now that you mention it, it all makes sense."

"Well! So you two are acquaintances after all. They gave you a few things and you're still emphasizing discipline."

"Hey, we believe in not taking a single needle or thread from the masses, so it's hard for us to make an exception!"

"You're overthinking it. Xiao Bian told me that we Chinese are far from our homeland, all alone and dependent on you. You are her family."

"."

Deputy Director Liang and Counselor Xu chatted back and forth, and seemed to have become much closer.

But in Li Ye's heart, a deep sense of awe arose.

For safety reasons, Jin Peng and Bian Jingjing chose a house near the embassy in advance, so the embassy probably launched an investigation into them immediately.
When Bian Jingjing started her business here, she used her classmate connection with Sun Xianjin and knew about Sun Xianjin's work scope. It was easy to find out who she was.

In the face of such a special national-level institution, no uncertainties are allowed to exist. At this moment, Bian Jingjing and Jin Peng's ancestors for eight generations may have been investigated.

However, this is also good; the stronger the embassy's capabilities, the greater the help it will provide to the delegation's work.

After finishing the meal, everyone started talking about serious matters.

"We have reviewed the list of Suzhou enterprises that you provided to us earlier and have identified some key companies for our visit. We hope to obtain permission to visit them as soon as possible, and it would be even better if we could have more detailed information."
In addition, yesterday, Comrade Sun Xianjin visited two of his classmates, one of whom, Sophia, seems to have some connections. During their discussion, they also talked about the Kamaz automobile factory.

Although things are chaotic in Sugo at this moment, there is still order. Some units will seek cooperation or simply sell themselves, but some units are not for sale. Kamaz Automobile Factory is not on this batch of external cooperation list.

"Okay, we'll get started as soon as possible."

Consul Xu agreed without hesitation. Faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, their workload was also very heavy, as the coordination of relations between the two countries depended entirely on them.

However, Counselor Xu and his team were indeed very capable, and the delegation received news just two days later.

Given Li Ye's rank, he certainly couldn't know all the details, but Deputy Commander Liang only revealed part of it, which gave Li Ye the feeling that "the city is full of tricks."

"The Kamaz automobile factory has agreed to your request for a visit and expressed its intention to cooperate further. In addition, our investigation has identified a British company that is commissioning a man named Shevchik to acquire the shares held by Kamaz's workers and managers."

"As for Ms. Sophia, she should be a key figure among the younger generation within the Sugo Industries Bureau. Her grandfather was General Sugo, but her father is very mysterious."

Sofia is indeed no ordinary person. The reason why she had a strange smile on her lips when she said goodbye to Li Ye the day before yesterday was probably related to the "stock acquisition" phenomenon that was taking place inside the Kamaz automobile factory.

[Could it be that I brought her a pillow while she was dozing off?]
