Chapter 72 Eat a lot
The first person who came to Lin Hong and others was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was not tall, his forehead was smooth and shiny, and he was already bald.
He smiled and walked over quickly and said:
"Shang, what a coincidence. Did you just come back from Lingnan Province?"
Feng Wan nodded: "I had something to delay in Lingnan Province for two days. I didn't get out of the plane with everyone. I just got off the plane."
This person's name is Li Weiguo. He is the director of the "America and Oceania" affairs office. In name, he is Feng Wan's subordinate, but Feng Wan does not have jurisdiction over this area.
As his leader, Feng Wan can leave calmly if she doesn't say hello. Since he has come to say hello, it's naturally not good to leave. So he went with him and said hello to the principal and several teachers in Beijing S. What's more important is to meet the people who lead the team in the United States to express their concern and Welcome.
The leader of the team in the United States is Roy Cook, who is the head of the foreign exchange department of Boston Latin School. He is about 30 years old. He is very tall and estimated to be more than 1.9 meters.
In the United States, there is a saying that "Harvard first, then the United States." In Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, it is said that there is "Latin first, then Harvard". The Latin mentioned here refers to the Boston_Latin School, which was founded in 1635, while Harvard was founded in 1636, a year earlier than Harvard. But Latin is a middle school and Harvard is a university.
Boston Latin School is the earliest and best public secondary school in the United States. It is not only ranked first in the Boston Public Secondary School Joint Examination, but also much higher than the second place. Beijing S is also one of the best high schools in Beijing. Although the student exchange between China and the United States is only a trial, both sides attach great importance to it. In fact, the political significance of this preliminary pilot is greater than the academic significance.
As the deputy director of the Department of International Cooperation and Communication, Feng Wan is not only proficient in English, but also can have a proficient dialogue with Roy in Latin. In addition, she has a good image and temperament and strong social skills. The whole person has a very unique temperament. After a few words, Mr. Cook has already talked to her. Quite impressed and admired.
Although Feng Wan was over 30 years old, she could not see any traces of time on her. At this moment, she was dressed in a decent white windbreaker and talked to foreign guests in the United States. Her temperament not only convinced Roy, but also everyone present.
Among these people, Xu Wenjing may be the person she admires the most.
generous and elegant, noble and peaceful. Listening to her words is like a spring breeze, where she stands is the center.
Since she was a child, it seems that no woman can make her feel this way except her mother.
And this is also the temperament she pursues most.
She quickly raised the camera in her hand, took a picture of her shaking hands and talking with the outside world, and then contributed most of the film to her.
Originally, if she was not here, the person in charge was Principal Zhang and Director Li in S, but now she has become the main receptionist. Principal Zhang and Director Li have no objection to this. After all, although they know some English, they can't talk to each other directly and so skillfully, and the translator invited this time is not very good. They say that Mr. Cook's accent is so strong and the speed is so fast that sometimes they have to let him repeat it two or three times. Only then can we figure out the whole meaning.
Now it's all right. With Director Feng's reception on his behalf, it's natural to ask for it. Looking at Roy's attitude, it seems that this reception will definitely satisfy the other party. Both of them secretly wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads.
Today, all three means of transportation: cars, trains and planes have been taken, and she is also a little tired. In addition, there is Lin Hong around her. Feng Wan originally wanted to go home directly. But at this point, she had no choice but to look at Lin Hong a little sorryly, hoping that he could understand.
Sun Guodong and the others couldn't interrupt, so they stayed for a while and had to leave with Sun Wu.
Sun Wu quickly asked his home phone number and told Lin Hong to settle down and had to call him to play.
Then, Lin Hong followed the army and got on the luxury bus specially rented in S.
Roy and two other foreigners are in very good spirits at this moment. Questions kept popping out of the beginning, and Feng Wan had to smile and answer them.
Lin Hong sat next to his mother and didn't say anything, just stayed quietly. He could basically understand the conversation between his mother and Roy, except for some rare words. When his mother introduced him to a foreigner, he also learned about the city of Beijing.
Looking at the various buildings and vehicles flashing outside the car window, he was not as surprised as before.
After about 40 minutes, the bus stopped in front of an extremely majestic building.
"This is your temporary hotel, Beijing Friendship Hotel..." Feng Wan introduced to Roy and others in English. Under their inquiry, she had to give them a general introduction to the history of the Friendship Hotel.
Friendship Hotel is currently the largest garden-style three-star hotel in Asia. It was built in the second half of 1954. Its predecessor was the Western Suburbs Guest House of the State Council, which is mainly used to receive Soviet experts in Beijing. In 1956, it was changed to Friendship Hotel and began to receive other foreign tourists in March 1973.
Lin Hong also noticed that the architecture of this hotel is simple and elegant, with strong Chinese national characteristics, and other foreigners are constantly seen coming in and out of the gate.
The Ministry of Education has already set up a room here. After setting Roy and the others down, they will have lunch here directly.
This is Lin Hong's first time to eat in a hotel. The dishes here are basically the ones he has never eaten before. They are not only full of color, fragrance and taste, but also full of portions.
In the extremely surprised eyes of everyone, he ate a lot for the first time since he was a child, and almost ate the portion of three or four adults.
Seeing this situation, Feng Wan had to explain to everyone with a strong smile: "Let everyone laugh. We just flew over from Lingnan Province and haven't eaten anything for a day. Maybe we are really hungry."
In fact, she is very uncomfortable at this moment. She had heard Lin Changming say that her son had a big appetite, but she didn't expect to eat so much. It seems that when he was in the countryside, he usually didn't have enough to eat at all, which really made him suffer.
The people present did not mean to laugh, but were just a little surprised. Many people looked at Lin Hong's small stomach and couldn't imagine that they could hold so many things.
The director's son is really a big eater. He can eat so much. Xu Wenjing thought to herself.
Lin Hong just ate too much and didn't care about his image. After reacting, I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. I just felt a little pee, so I took the opportunity to go to the toilet to avoid everyone's strange eyes.
He talked to his mother and walked to the bathroom under the leadership of the hotel waiter. However, when he got up, Feng Wan whispered and asked him to pay attention to Mr. Cook. The other party had gone to the bathroom before, but he had not returned after the normal time.
