661 Ready to go

On the morning of the fifth, when Zhao Guoyang and Ning Zhongxin rushed to the Capital Airport in the car in the department, all the members of the inspection team were already here.

After meeting with everyone in the waiting room, Zhao Guoyang Airport summarized the passport information of the inspection team members and waited for boarding.

Because China does not directly reach any city in Quebec, the delegation can only take Air Canada flights, first flying to Toronto, and then transfer to Quebec, the capital of Quebec.

The plane departs at 10 a.m. and can arrive in Toronto at about the early morning. Then, it will take two o'clock to transfer to Quebec City.

But there is no way. In the early 1990s, there were few direct flights in China, so there was little choice but to make it.

In the waiting hall, Xu Guangyuan and Wang Jintao briefly introduced their respective entourages to Zhao Guoyang.

Xu Guangyuan is bringing a full-level researcher at the American Oceania Department of their Foreign Trade Department, Chang Linda, who looks like he is 34 or 35 years old.

Wang Jintao was led by Duan Ruixiang, a young engineer from the Machinery Industry Department of the Inherited Assets Administration, a section-level cadre.

He is said to be a young engineer, but he is actually six or seven years older than Zhao Guoyang.

Of course, in the Inherited Assets Administration, this Duan Gong who is less than thirty years old must still belong to the category of young engineers.

In addition to these two people, Huo Xiufen, another young cadre in the inspection team, is a deputy department-level researcher in the Industrial Planning Department of the High-tech Industry Department of the National Planning Commission.

And she is also the only female member in the entire inspection team.

Although Duan Ruixiang and Huo Xiufen were both twenty-nine years old, Zhao Guoyang silently paid attention and the communication between the two was almost zero.

Indeed, one department level and the other deputy department level have a lot of different status, and it is difficult to talk about together.

Moreover, looking at Huo Xiufen's appearance, he is not the kind of person who likes to talk, so it is normal to be silent.

Since the leaders above knew the foreign language proficiency of the leader Zhao Guoyang, this time the inspection team did not equip them with translators, and there were only nine people in total.

Seeing these "group members" under his command who were not very familiar with each other and shot at him from time to time, Zhao Guoyang was secretly helpless - being too concerned is not a good thing.

Just as Zhao Guoyang was silently observing various members of the delegation, Chang Linda, Duan Ruixiang and Huo Xiufen were also secretly paying attention to him.

Speaking of which, Zhao Guoyang's reputation is in the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Although the Inherited Assets Administration is very big, it is only among the middle and high-level officials and has a very well-known reputation.

When we arrived at Chang Linda, Duan Ruixiang and the others, there were very few people who could hear the deeds of Zhao Guoyang.

Although before the two directors, Xu Guangyuan and Wang Jintao, came out, they also learned about the basic situation of Researcher Zhao and knew that this person had unique insights into various technologies of "all-terrain vehicles".

But both of them still have doubts about how awesome the other party is, and whether it is really called a "technical master" as the leaders said.

As for Huo Xiufen, he worked in the State Planning Commission, and it was his first time to get in touch with Zhao Guoyang, and he couldn't even talk about the most basic understanding.

In fact, before coming, Huo Xiufen also heard from his leader that the inspection team he participated in this time was very young.

But Huo Xiufen was completely unexpected that he would be so young as Zhao Guoyang.

Just as the three young men glanced at their leader thoughtfully, the two nominal figures of the inspection team there started chatting with Zhao Guoyang.

"Brother Guoyang, I have to work hard for you on this trip to North America! I'm going to say that I've lost my English for more than ten years, so it's too difficult to pick it up again!"

The person who spoke was Liang Hongjun, the chairman of the "Siyang Group", who was also a relatively familiar person to Zhao Guoyang in the delegation.

After hearing Liang Hongjun's words, Xue Ming next to him laughed and said, "Old Liang, please relax in this matter. Before this trip, Mr. Li from our 'Chongqi Group' also tentatively asked the leaders above whether we would send an interpreter in the factory."

"As a result, the leader directly refused, saying that your leader was proficient in at least seven foreign languages, and each subject was at least professional, so what else would he need to translate? At that time, we, Mr. Li, were shocked!"

Speaking of this, Xue Ming gave Zhao Guoyang a thumbs up and said, "To be honest, Researcher Zhao, I really admire you. I won't say that I have a strong skill, this is a well-known thing. What's rare is that you don't give us ordinary people a chance in your language. It's too...exaggerated!"

Liang Hongjun also knew something about Zhao Guoyang's proficiency in several foreign languages.

After all, the other party went to his factory several times to help, and he readily wrote the text on the "Yamaha" product manual and did not require any translation.

After hearing Xue Ming's praise, he nodded seriously and said, "Old Xue, you are right. We can finally be lazy this time and follow our Captain Zhao to eat and drink!"

Liang Hongjun said this with emotion.

After taking office as Vice President, he has led his team abroad to inspect several times. The hardships are really not worthy of being told by outsiders.

Now he has finally become a "exploration team member" who has been answering the arrangements of others, and he enjoys it.

There, Xu Guangyuan, Wang Jintao, and Ning Zhongxin were sitting next to Zhao Guoyang and others, so they naturally heard all the conversations between the three.

Judging from Mr. Liang and Mr. Xue’s intention, he had already pushed all the "heavy burden" of this trip to Zhao Guoyang. Xu Guangyuan couldn’t help but say happily: “I said Mr. Liang, Mr. Xue, you two are so unkind. How could we, Brother Guoyang, bear so much by himself!”

"When the inspection team learned about each person's situation before, you mentioned it in your resume. Mr. Liang and Mr. Xue, you all know English. When we arrived in North America, there were always times in our team to act alone, and you two would have to put some effort into it at that time!"

Liang Hongjun and Xue Ming were caught by the words of Director Xu, and he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"I didn't expect that Director Xu would do the preparations in advance so meticulously. OK, I will follow you, and you will follow you!" Xue Ming said first.

Liang Hongjun followed closely and expressed his agreement: "Director Xu, don't worry, we are just kidding with Brother Guoyang. When we really want to take action separately, Lao Xue and I must have no problem with the responsibility we should bear!"

The two bosses' frank statement suddenly relaxed the atmosphere.

Speaking of which, Liang Hongjun, Xue Ming and the three directors are also very different in age, and they are both in their prime.

These people got together, and there were still many topics in common.

Not long after Xu Guangyuan started to speak, the five middle-aged men started chatting happily.

Zhao Guoyang smiled and listened to the hot chats of the five "uncles", occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, and seemed very calm and composed in every move.

The three young members over there all had some thoughts in their minds when they saw this situation.

Just now, the conversation between Liang Hongjun and Xue Ming was heard clearly. Chang Linda, Duan Ruixiang and Huo Xiufen were all heard clearly.

The three of them were somewhat dissatisfied with Mr. Liang and Mr. Xue’s praise of Zhao Guoyang’s foreign language proficiency.

As a grassroots cadre in the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Chang Linda's foreign language is a necessary skill.

Duan Ruixiang is also a undergraduate who has graduated from Beijing Institute of Technology for many years, and his English level is absolutely fine.

As for Huo Xiufen, he is a master's degree in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, a Department of Foreign Linguistics and Applied Linguistics (English).

How could this researcher Huo admit defeat to his professional affairs?

Originally, he was arranged to join the inspection team this time, Huo Xiufen thought that his other task was to be a translator.

Who knew that until before he set out, no one of the leaders of the Planning Commission had mentioned this to him.

Now that he heard Liang Hongjun and Xue Ming's words, Huo Xiufen naturally had some ideas about "competition" about Zhao Guoyang.

"Hmph, I'll wait back and wait until I get to the ground. I want to see what level you, Captain Zhao, can do!"

Zhao Guoyang was completely unaware of the matter that he had been missed by others.

He was listening to Mr. Liang, Mr. Xue and the three directors talking about Dashan with interest.

Due to work needs, Liang Hongjun and Xue Ming have been abroad many times, among which Xue Ming has been to the United States twice.

Therefore, Mr. Xue is very clear about the things he needs to pay attention to when traveling to North America.

For example, if the tourist visa in the United States is difficult to apply, the validity period is short, and it is easy to be asked by local police personnel. Mr. Xue is very clear about these situations.

Hearing this, Xu Guangyuan said happily: "Mr. Xue doesn't need to worry this time. The visa for our North American trip was completed after the information was submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was a public visa for business inspections and would not be embarrassed by local police personnel!"

"That's right, the situation is naturally different this time!" Xue Ming couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"By the way, Director Xu. It's okay to forget about Canada. This American public security is a big problem. Where can we go, safety?"

When talking about the matter in America, Liang Hongjun couldn't help but ask.

"Well, Mr. Liang, don't worry about this. Our department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have long said hello. When we arrive in the United States, our Chinese Consulate General in Chicago will send a dedicated person to be responsible for the security of our delegation!"

Due to the special political and economic reasons of the United States, the Chinese foreign affairs department in the United States, in addition to the management of the ambassador to the United States, has as many as five consulates.

The consular area of ​​the "Chinese Consulate General in Chicago" includes Illinois and Minnesota.

Because the inspection team is at the deputy department level, the Consulate General must attach great importance to its security work.
