Chapter 1285 Dominoes
The diplomats in the embassy circulated Ambassador Ling's transfer letter and the meeting was disbanded.
Everyone left the floor in groups of three or three, made an appointment to join, or secretly opened the inside line, and each started discussing.
As for things like handing over work, it will naturally take until the private discussion is over before it will actually proceed.
Zhao Ze followed the chaotic crowd out, but looked ahead with great anxiety. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he saw Yang Rui a few days ago.
He has led a lot of groups, and he has seen people who strongly requested to change hotels. However, he has the ability to change all the people from a delegation to a hotel. He has seen this time and has only heard of this time.
What surprised Zhao Ze even more was that Yang Rui's behavior this time was not completely violated.
The procedures that others have completed are all available, and they will be done clearly without waiting for anyone to check.
In Zhao Ze's view, such energy is enough to make the embassy earth-shaking.
What worried Zhao Ze the most was whether Yang Rui was still dissatisfied.
After all, he refused Yang Rui's request several times that day, so that Yang Rui had to let someone control him.
The more Zhao Ze thought about it, the more worried he became. His eyes were parading among the crowd. Finally, he chose Zhou Guangyao, followed him in two steps, then rubbed a smile on his face, rushed forward and greeted him, "My Zhou."
"Oh, Xiao Zhao." Zhou Guangyao's identity as a second secretary was not up or down in the embassy, almost equivalent to a section chief in a department-level office. He still has a psychological advantage to an entourage like Zhao Ze. He smiled with a reserved smile and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"A little bit." Zhao Ze responded quickly and said, "My Zhou, I want to ask, Director Yang, is it okay if he is Director Yang from Peking University? I want to visit him, can you see?"
"You are talking about an academic delegation from China. Why did you ask me about it? I don't care about this."
"I'm just asking." Zhao Ze was helpless. In fact, the embassy with only a few people could hide a few secrets. It's not a secret that Zhou Guangyao ran to Hilton every day, and it's not a secret that Ambassador Ling stayed outside and didn't return to Stockholm...
Such association made Zhao Ze even more uneasy: "My Zhou, I did something wrong some time ago. I want to explain to Director Yang and the others. Can you please recommend it again?"
Zhou Yingyao turned his head with a smile.
"I know my request is a bit too much." Zhao Ze said humbly: "I'm just afraid of causing some misunderstandings. Zhou Mi, please give me a clear path and I will listen to you in the future."
Zhao Ze simply sold himself, and according to his original idea, he hoped to sell himself to a counselor. The Swedish Embassy is a big hall. After the counselors' work period expires, they will be transferred back to the domestic business department or regional department for two years. When they come out, they will likely go to a certain country to serve as ambassadors. At that time, it will be very convenient whether he follows or asks others to say hello to go elsewhere.
In contrast, Zhou Guangyao is not an appropriate choice to sell himself and defect to him. The second secretary of the embassy is somewhat low, and he will never stand alone in his next term in any case.
However, Ambassador Ling's transfer letter brought more shock to Zhao Ze. He found a safer place like a rodent and tried his best to get in.
While Zhou Guangyao was amused, he also secretly exclaimed. After thinking about it, he said, "I'll go and explain it to Director Yang. Maybe he has forgotten what happened before. He is very busy now."
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Ze said twice and said with a smile: "If you forget it, we can't forget it. Please trouble Zhou Mi, you are busy."
Zhao Ze did not follow him anymore, and was two steps behind. He watched Zhou Guangyao enter the corridor before he breathed a sigh of relief. He came back to his senses and realized that there was a dense layer of sweat on his back.
Zhou Guangyao's pace is more steady.
After Zhao Ze interrupted this, he also determined that Ambassador Ling's transfer letter was related to Yang Rui, which was a coincidence in time.
However, Zhou Guangyao thought about how Yang Rui did this, or whether he could do this, but he couldn't figure it out.
He sat in the office and wanted to call Yang Rui. He opened the number book and closed it.
Too frivolous.
Zhou Guangyao thought. He didn't want Yang Rui to be considered a frivolous diplomat. Although there are frivolous prodigal sons among diplomats, such people are obviously not easily trusted.
Zhou Guangyao still called back to China and wanted to ask first why Ambassador Ling was transferred.
However, this phone call has been making for a long time, and now everyone is calling, and it can almost be expected that it will take up a long time.
Zhou Guangyao calmed down as much as possible, just read a book in the office, waiting for the phone to ring - when the manual operator completes the long-distance cross-border connection work, he will call him to complete the entire line of calls.
This process is very long, usually very long, and even more so today.
If it were normal, Zhou Guangyao might have asked someone to chat or visit the door, just open the door and listen to the sound. This is the job in the embassy, and he will always be in a state of leisure and busyness.
However, the situation today is completely different. Zhou Guangyao would rather stay in the office obediently than make people think that he is connecting with something. He had already connected with Counselor Huang, but now there is no need to run around.
While sleeping, Zhou Guangyao simply leaned against the chair and slept for a while.
When I woke up again, the phone was already "ring" and screaming crazy.
Zhou Guangyao quickly grabbed the phone and wiped his face with his hand to wake up.
"Is it shining?" The transnational telephones are now very loud.
Zhou Guangyao dipped his hands in the water in the teacup, wiped it randomly on his face, and said, "Dad, is it you? I am Guangyao."
On the phone, Zhou Guangyao's father-in-law laughed twice and said, "You should call me. If you don't call, I will call me because of the transfer letter."
"Yes. Dad, what's going on?" Zhou Guangyao asked hurriedly.
My father-in-law asked before answering: "What is your embassy's reaction? Did no one spread the news?"
"What news? I don't know, everyone is in a mess and don't understand what's going on."
"It seems that everyone who receives the news is hidden, so don't tell it."
"yes."
"The news about Yang Rui has gone crazy in China. Several newspapers have reported his lectures, and the TV station has played videos. I have also watched them. Are there really so many people, all European scholars?"
Zhou Guangyao was shocked and said, "Yes, Yang Rui is more popular in Europe, and many people come to listen to his lectures. However, most of them are from pharmaceutical companies."
In terms of scientific research level, researchers from pharmaceutical companies obviously cannot be compared with those of higher education institutions and research institutes. The lower limits of the two may be similar, just for individuals, but the gap between the upper limit is huge.
However, domestic media and officials obviously will not distinguish the difference here. For them, white people are willing to listen to Chinese lectures, and it is enough to be satisfied with the difficulty of finding a person.
My father-in-law introduced the situation in a few words and said, "I heard that all the relevant articles have been included in the internal reference. The leaders attach great importance to it. The ministries and commissions have seriously criticized Ling Zhiming for his long delay in returning from other places, believing that he was unable to perform his duties properly, so he was re-arranged. If you wait for another two days, the new ambassador will probably arrive."
"Did you send it from the country?"
"Officers who are not familiar with the situation in China were sent to work immediately, so they were rejected. The opinions of the ministries and commissions were to be chosen as the ambassador who could fight and win, and finally Cao Da was chosen."
When Zhou Guangyao heard Cao Da's name, he was even more surprised and said, "He is the consul in Marseille. Was he sent him here directly? He didn't return to his country?"
The level of the consul is one level lower than that of the ambassador, and the level of the consul in Marseille is also lower than that of the ambassador to Paris. However, when he came to Sweden, he was transferred from a large country to a small country, which only shows that the appointment is urgent and important. In addition, it is even rare to take office directly without returning to China to report on his duties.
The father-in-law on the other end of the phone said "happy" and said, "The ministry believes that affairs are urgent. In addition, the new ambassador has many benefits. You can slowly understand it. In short, you should pay attention to maintaining your relationship with Yang Rui."
"Yes..." Zhou Guangyao fell into deep thought and surprise as he listened to his father-in-law's advice. He never expected that the young Yang Rui would have so many supporters and could cause such a big storm.
It is rare to transfer Ling Zhiming from Sweden to Chad, such a derogatory reprimand is already rare. Correspondingly, it is even more difficult to transfer Cao Da, who is in Marseille in France, to Sweden directly. In these two links, other candidates need to be arranged to take over. The entire domino model is a problem.
But from this trouble, Zhou Guangyao felt a little solemn.
