"Let me take the outsiders upstairs, to the thirteenth floor?"

"Yes, that's right."

Chen Qinghai smiled and nodded, but when he looked up he saw Lu Miao's pair of lychee eyes, like stars in the cold night, staring at him coldly.

He paused for a moment and wanted to say something, but Lu Miao pushed him aside with his elbow.

Chen Qinghai leaned against the wall, feeling pain in his lungs. He said angrily:

"W-what are you doing!"

"The National British Society values ​​ability above all else. If you have the ability, show some real ability. If you don't, step down as soon as possible and let others do the work."

Lu Miao looked at him coldly:

"What's the point of playing dirty tricks like you are doing now? You don't know the difference between right and wrong. To put it bluntly, what's the difference between you and a lackey?"

"What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson, you little girl? And the lackey, tell me clearly who the lackey is?!"

Chen Qinghai became anxious.

Lu Miao raised his eyebrows, sneered at him with contempt, and said meaningfully:

"Anyone can tell me."

"you you……"

Chen Qinghai was so angry this time that his heart ached. He kept saying "you you you" but couldn't say anything for a long time.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Lu Miao crossed his arms and looked at him with even more contempt. He continued to ask in his usual, infuriating tone:

"It's not enough that you embarrass yourself in front of your own people, but now you want to embarrass yourself in front of foreign officials. You must embarrass yourself abroad, right? Who do you think you are? Who do you represent?"

Lu Miao's language is sharp and every word is precious.

In the end, he still ended with the sentence that if you have the ability, then show your true ability; if you don't, then step down and let others take your place, which made Chen Qinghai very angry.

After she finished speaking, she walked out arrogantly, but stopped just outside the door.

Chen Qinghai was so angry that he chased after her, grabbed her arm, and continued to pester her.

However, when he stepped out of the Chinese-style round archway of the public area, Chen Qinghai also stopped.

As the gloomy and violent aura faded away, Chen Qinghai felt disappointed.

Deputy Director Zhao stood in the aisle with a stern face.

"Deputy Director Zhao!?"

Lu Miao paused, and his tone was different from Chen Qinghai's:
"Director Zhao..."

Lu Miao had been out for a while. She had just arrived, and Deputy Director Zhao was afraid that she couldn't find the place, so he came to look for her.

I didn't expect to hear such a drama.

Deputy Director Zhao raised his hand to stop Lu Miao from speaking any further.

Lu Miao cooperated and kept silent.

"She's right."

Deputy Director Zhao's amiable face turned serious, and his graying temples added a fierceness to his square face.

He stared at Chen Qinghai and said:

"If you have the ability, then show it. If you have the talent, then show your real talent! What are you doing now? Misleading a newcomer?"

"I, I didn't mean that, Deputy Director Zhao..."

There’s no way Deputy Director Zhao would be willing to listen to his explanation.

In the Western religious culture, "13" is considered an unlucky number, and many high-rise buildings do not even have the 13th floor.

One of them is that Chen Qinghai misled newcomers.

Misleading in his name is the second.

Fortunately, this newcomer knows a little about Western culture. What if he doesn’t?

That's not just a matter of embarrassment and making a fool of yourself!
We emphasize friendly exchanges, but we do not respect other people’s beliefs and culture, which directly affects the key point!

Deputy Director Zhao raised his chin to the side, and Lu Miao understood and stood behind him.

Deputy Director Zhao tilted his head and asked Lu Miao:
"You went through the process this morning. If I asked you to do it now, how confident are you that you can do it? Would you dare?"

"..."

Lu Miao looked at Deputy Director Zhao with his clear black and white eyes, moved his lips slightly but didn't say anything.

Chen Qinghai heard the clues and immediately felt that something was wrong. This meant that they were going to replace him!

"Deputy Director Zhao, she's a newcomer, there's no way she can do the job!"

Chen Qinghai immediately said anxiously:

"Everything must be done according to rules and procedures! This is my task, how can I let her, a newcomer who is participating for the first time, get involved? I don't agree!"

Deputy Director Zhao did not seek his consent either.

Deputy Director Zhao continued to look at Lu Miao.

Lu Miao paused for a moment, then nodded carefully under the gazes of Deputy Director Zhao and Chen Qinghai.

She dared.

And she can.

Lu Miao said what he thought.

Deputy Director Zhao nodded after hearing this:
"very good."

The two of them looked like they were the ones who made the final decision, and successfully made Chen Qinghai panic.

Chen Qinghai could no longer maintain his composure and shouted:

"I don't agree! Why does she?"

"Since your mind isn't here, go back to the club!"

Deputy Director Zhao turned his gaze back to Chen Qinghai and said sternly:

"I will explain this to the agency. I will also have the office contact the agency about the translation later and ask them to arrange other people to assist Comrade Xiao Lu. You don't have to worry."

It means "assisting" rather than "replacing".

When Lu Miao heard this, his eyes sparkled with a different kind of light and he felt a little weird.

What do you say?
A strong feeling of being protected and placed high hopes on...

If that's the case, then she really needs to straighten her attitude and show some real ability to deal with it.

Only in this way can we live up to the opportunities and expectations given by our predecessors!
Chen Qinghai only cares about consolidating his personal position and does not care about international friendship at all.

Deputy Director Zhao would rather arrange for someone to assist Lu Miao than let Chen Qinghai stay.

It was of no avail for Chen Qinghai to resist or disagree.

The matter has become a foregone conclusion.

……

Arrange someone to send Chen Qinghai back. After Deputy Director Zhao finished making a phone call in the inner area, he took Lu Miao upstairs:
"Don't be nervous when you eat later. It doesn't matter if you're not used to using a knife and fork. We are Chinese. It's common for us to be good at using chopsticks. There's nothing shameful about it."

"Yes."

Lu Miao nodded modestly.

Deputy Director Zhao continued to instruct her in the elevator:
"Including meals, we have about two hours of rest time. There is a place to rest here in the mansion. You can adjust your state. We still have a hard fight in the afternoon..."

As he spoke, Deputy Director Zhao changed his tone and asked Lu Miao:
"How much did Chen Qinghai tell you about the arrangements for this trip?"

Lu Miao shook his head. "Team Leader Chen only asked me to follow him and learn, and didn't mention much else..."

"..."

Deputy Director Zhao hesitated to speak, sighed, and finally said nothing else. He just introduced the future arrangements to Lu Miao along the way.

For example, we are going to the Palace Museum in the afternoon.

We have to gather at four o'clock tomorrow morning to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

We will gather and set off at 5 a.m. the day after tomorrow, the weekend, so that the foreign staff can also see their Great Wall and so on.

Lu Miao nodded repeatedly and kept it in mind.

At noon, I had lunch with the foreign staff, and there was no seat for Lu Miao.

Because of Chen Qinghai's departure, she took over Chen Qinghai's position.

Deputy Director Zhao was worried that she would make mistakes since it was her first experience, so he kept looking at her during the meal.

But she used the fork in her left hand and the knife in her right hand, and her movements were incredibly smooth whether she was cutting steak, eating pasta, or other Western dishes.

The author has something to say:
I must say that: Xiaobao's job is to mix in some foreign language, and the counting methods of foreign language and Chinese are different. Some of them may look long, but the actual effective numbers are only 20 to 30. I won't deduct extra money! It won't take up a lot of the updated words! So don't think it's just water writing! It's all necessary links!! (End of this chapter)
