At 9 o'clock in the morning, as usual, when checking the letter, Zhou Yingyao brought a cup of coffee and slowly came to the mailroom.

He is the second secretary of the embassy. Compared with the first-class secretary, the biggest difference is that he has more internal work and less external work. The most important part of internal work is reading letters.

The attendant in charge of the mailroom has already classified the numbers of letters, and ordinary letters have been recorded. The remaining few important letters are left on the table.

"What's special today?" Zhou Yingyao asked casually, and read the record book one or two.

This is his job.

The attendant knew that Zhou Yingyao was actually asking about something interesting, so he smiled and said, "The Chen@yang Riot Equipment Factory has declared bankruptcy. This is the first time since the founding of New China."

"This matter has to be written and sent here." Zhou Yingyao tsk twice and said: "Last month, our delegation in Geneva wanted to apply to restore the status of a party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. This month, a bankrupt factory came out, which is of some interest."

"Not. Hey, I didn't expect that some factories in our country went bankrupt, and my parents were still workers." The attendant sighed twice. They had been abroad for a while and had been very aware of bankruptcy and other things. Looking back on the situation in China, they found it incredible.

"Reform is like this. There can be no good things or bad things." Zhou Yingyao said consciously: "Besides, bankruptcy cannot be said to be a complete bad thing."

"You're talking about it."

"I just don't know how they have resettled workers. I'm afraid the staffing problem will be difficult to solve." Zhou Yingyao said this, picked up several diplomatic letters, confirmed that there was no word "one who issued it specifically, and then tore them apart one by one.

The reason why the second secretary dismantled and read these letters was mainly because the diplomatic letters were all secretly level. In the embassy in Sweden, there were only ambassadors, three counselors, first-class and second-class secretaries who were qualified. The other three secretaries and attendants could only wait for notification.

The person present was curiously stretched his neck to look at it.

"There is no useful content. It's all messy requests." Zhou Yingyao threw it on the table and opened the last letter.

The attendant laughed and said, "You said that people in China are the same. They don't understand the situation outside, and they can't spread the situation in China well, which leads to our disdain and not telling each other. They also waste time when communicating and so many stamps..."

Zhou Yingyao didn't say a word, just looked down at the letter.

The attendant thought he had said the wrong thing, so he was a little nervous, so he quickly found it and said, "Actually, we have collected a lot of information. It would be better if the letters sent to us in China are more organized..."

"Go and gather people together." Zhou Yingyao's face turned gloomy and stopped the attendant's words, saying, "Just say there is an emergency that needs to be notified. Counselor Huang, you don't have to go and find him. I'll call him."

The attendant nodded in surprise, said "Okay", and hurriedly went.

Zhou Yingyao watched him go out, then picked up the phone and dialed the inside line. After the call was connected, he signed up and said: "Counselor Huang, I am Zhou Yingyao. I want to report to you if you have something. Can I go up now... I'm afraid I can't wait anymore, things are more urgent... OK, I'll come soon."

Zhou Yingyao put down the phone, sorted out the collar, looked at the documents in the file bag, then closed the door of the communication room before heading to Counselor Huang's office.

In the embassy, ​​the counselor is the ambassador's deputy, and his position is also very important.

However, unlike local areas, the embassy is a large unit with fewer people. Ambassadors usually have a higher rank and are much higher than the status of counselors. So the matters in the embassy are usually decided by the ambassadors.

Not only that, there are also a large number of counselors in the larger embassy, ​​including two or three, and five or six.

In the Chinese Embassy in Stockholm, a total of three counselors and a martial arts hall were arranged, which was quite complete. However, so many people divided the power in a small embassy, ​​which inevitably made everyone's power smaller.

However, for the staff in the embassy, ​​power does not matter how big it is, but what is concerned about the relative power.

Zhou Yingyao has always had close ties with Counselor Huang. This time, he first brought the news to Counselor Huang's office.

"What's so anxious?" Counselor Huang is Hu Jianren. He brewed Kung Fu tea early in the morning, took another piece of snack and put it on the table, and asked, "Have you eaten? I'm so happy. I'm just about to call Ambassador Ling. I've been out for several days."

"I think you may not need to type." Zhou Yingyao handed the documents to Counselor Huang with the file bag.

"What's this?"

"Notice of Transfer."

"Who was transferred?" Counselor Huang was shocked.

For diplomats, transferring is a common thing. It is very common for those who serve as members for one or two years, and those who are transferred to other countries as third-class secretaries, and those who are transferred to the larger embassy as counselors.

Few soldiers who are fighting in the camp and flowing through the river will work in an embassy for five, six or seven years.

Counselor Huang pinched his finger and calculated, "Is Lao Li leaving?"

Zhou Yingyao was a little funny. Counselor Huang guessed riddles first without reading the documents. He shook his head and said, "You will know if you look at it."

"I'm still playing a puzzle." Counselor Huang didn't think much about it and shook out the documents inside.

A few seconds later, the three words "Ling Zhiming" came into his eyes.

"Good guy!" Counselor Huang jumped up from the chair at once: "How is this possible? Ambassador Ling who was transferred?"

His last words were already very quiet.

Zhou Yingyao said: "I know the seal above, it's right that the Ministry sent it."

"Didn't you call to verify it?"

"I may not be suitable for this time, I checked it separately." Zhou Yingyao paused and said, "Besides, I want to ask you what to do."

In theory, such a transfer letter can be delayed for a few days. As long as it is not announced, Ling Zhiming can also issue a few orders regarding the identity of the ambassador.

However, Counselor Huang did not answer immediately, opened the document and read it as the situation.

Zhou Yingyao observed Counselor Huang's face and saw that he was solemn at first, but relaxed in his later generations. At the end, he laughed out loud.

"Do you know where Lao Ling was dropped?" Counselor Huang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Yingyao's mouth also twitched and he whispered: "Chad."

"Yes, I'm transferred from Sweden to Chad." Counselor Huang shook his head repeatedly and said, "Don't say, the Ambassador Chad is not low."

However, Chad is one of the poorest countries in Africa.

From the richest country in the world to the poorest country in the world, such transfer is probably not an interesting thing for Ambassador Ling.

Zhou Yingyao said: "Ambassador Ling originally wanted to step down from the position of Swedish ambassador and then retire."

"It's nothing bad to retire in Africa." Counselor Huang said relaxed: "Have you notified the meeting?"

"yes."

"Okay, let's go to the meeting to announce it." Counselor Huang was very happy and stopped drinking the Kung Fu tea he had just made.

Zhou Yingyao's heart moved, followed Counselor Huang and whispered: "Do you think the person who replaces Ambassador Ren Ling will be selected from our embassy?"

"It's too far." Counselor Huang knew what he wanted to say, shook his head and said, "I probably would have been transferred. I have been in Sweden for three years and should have changed places. The other few people are similar. As for you, find a way to operate it and hope to stay."

"I understand." Zhou Yingyao paused and asked, "What do you think is the reason for the ambassador's transfer?"

"This situation? I guess there are only two."

“Two kinds?”

"Either offend someone or give way to others."

"Give up people, or offend people?"

"Who can say that either offends domestic or foreign?" Counselor Huang curled his lips.

A figure appeared in front of Zhou Yingyao's eyes.

As the two of them talked, they went downstairs and entered the conference room, they were already serious.

"To summon comrades today, I need to notify everyone of something." Counselor Huang looked at both sides and said, "Amistant Ling was transferred to Chad, Africa, as I just received."

"ah?"

"Why?"

"Has the new ambassador been announced?"

"What's wrong? Ambassador Ling is not in Stockholm."

The meeting room immediately turned into a mess.

Even the attendants who were not qualified to speak had various speculations.
