Chapter 635 National Day Reception

Happy events always follow.

When he came home at night, before he had parked the car, Huang Jingping ran out with something in her hand, "Yiping, look!"

"Slow down," this girl, Feng Yiping hastily put down what he was doing and went over to her, "Slow down, what should I do if I fall, what should I do if I step on the air?"

"I'm happy, besides, I'm not a porcelain doll," Huang Jingping said angrily, and raised the thing in her hand at him, "Look at what this is?"

"Where's the invitation card? Is it a community event again? Want to mobilize donations?" Feng Yiping now feels more and more that these organizations in the American community are really more involved than domestic street offices.

"Where is it?" Huang Jingping first showed him the signature, "The Consulate in San Francisco,"

Oh, an invitation from the consulate? As soon as he thought about it, he knew that it should be related to the National Day.

Sure enough, "You are sincerely invited to attend the reception for the 52nd anniversary of the National Day held in our embassy on September 28,"

Huang Jingping looked at him with pride on her face. They had never dealt with the consulate before, and it was a kind of affirmation to receive such an invitation.

Feng Yiping is not as proud as she is. My brother is also a person who has been in Zhongnanhai and interviewed several big bosses. Such an invitation is just a sprinkle of water.

"It turns out that there are people here who know about us," Huang Jingping said happily.

"You want to go?" Feng Yiping scratched her nose.

"Yes," Huang Jingping said with a smile, "in your words, this should be the highest party I have ever attended,"

"Then let's go!"

"Of course we have to go. At noon tomorrow, we'll go to San Francisco to buy clothes,"

... ... ...

Union Square in San Francisco is surrounded by all decent shopping malls in San Francisco. Here, it is equivalent to Xidan, Wangfujing and Guomao in the capital, or Nanjing East Road West Road in Shanghai, plus Huaihai Road, or New York. Manhattan.

In many Silicon Valley companies, life is getting more and more difficult. When many American people are tightening their belts to live, Feng Yiping followed Huang Jingping and came here for shopping.

There was no way to do this. The Armani suit Feng Yiping bought earlier had no chance of wearing it, but it didn't fit well. It was obviously not dignified enough to wear it on such an occasion.

Huang Jingping is already familiar with all kinds of men's clothing brands, so she took him directly to Armani's specialty store to customize this thing. They don't want to play it yet, and it's too late. They still buy ready-made clothes, plus matching shirts, ties, belts, leather shoes, business card holders , a whole set adds up to nearly ten thousand dollars.

However, Huang Jingping's own clothes are more troublesome. After visiting several specialty stores, she is not satisfied. "Why don't you go and order a cheongsam?"

"It's not good either," Huang Jingping thought for a while, "I think I can only look better in a red cheongsam,"

On such an occasion, it is not appropriate to wear a red cheongsam, you can't steal the limelight from the master, right?

"It's okay," Feng Yiping thought about it, "I should be able to discuss a good plan with the master,"

... ... ...

On the ruins of the World Trade Center, flames are still burning, and rescuers are still searching for possible survivors. The rescue and subsequent clean-up work will last for a long time.

At the same time, American diplomats are busier than rescuers, flying all over the world to win the support of countries around the world, to win the support of allied countries to send troops, to win the territory of Afghanistan, to allow the coalition forces to station troops, and to use their military facilities.

This series of actions made people like Huang Jingping who don't understand and don't want to understand these things know, "Is there going to be a war?"

"It has nothing to do with us," Feng Yiping said, holding her hand, "We just need to focus on our own affairs."

After finally getting the support of Pakistan, everything was ready, and the guns were loaded, the United States issued an ultimatum to the Taliban regime, "hand over the top members of al-Qaeda to the United States, release all imprisoned foreigners, and protect those in Afghanistan. Foreigners, meanwhile let America inspect all training camps,"

Knowing that the Taliban regime is about to come, it mightily and unyieldingly rejected the American request, and proudly declared that talking to non-government leaders is an insult to itself.

In private, they actually made efforts and made concessions. For example, through the embassy in Pakistan, they asked the United States to provide evidence so that they could prosecute Mao Zedong themselves. The United States refused, and they made concessions. ? The United States still refuses, no.

At this time, everyone on Earth knows that war is imminent.

At this time, in front of the Consulate General in San Francisco on Laguna Street, there was a bit of excitement.

Today, California Governor Davis, together with a group of government officials, such as the Speaker of the State Assembly, the Comptroller and the Mayor of San Francisco, as well as consul generals of many countries in San Francisco, as well as overseas Chinese in Northern California, overseas students, representatives of Chinese-funded institutions, etc. More than 600 people were invited to attend the 52nd National Day Reception.

Sure enough, the more you attend such a formal occasion abroad, the higher the proportion of female family members wearing traditional clothing. It should be that in front of the temporary security check device, more than 80% of those female compatriots are wearing cheongsam.

Another thing in common is that the bags they hold in their hands, whether large or small, are all in the LV checkered style.

The two of Feng Yiping and the others who came in made people feel a little unpredictable. They were students, but they didn't have the same temperament, businessman? Too young again.

Moreover, the heads of various chambers of commerce in Northern California were present today, and everyone generally said that they had never seen such a person.

The Deputy Consul General who welcomed the guests knew Feng Yiping's details. He was young, famous, and wealthy, and he had already caught the eyes of several leaders. When he arrived in the United States, his actions were not small. Two companies, acquired one company, and participated in two companies, "Welcome, classmate Yiping,"

"Hello." When shaking hands, Feng Yiping was guessing his rank. The ambassador to the United States must be at the deputy ministerial level. So what rank is the deputy consul general?

The reception was held in the banquet hall of the consulate. It was very Chinese. Various leaders gave speeches. After our leaders finished speaking, the leaders of the United States spoke. I feel a little bored.

Huang Jingping felt fine. The short cheongsam she wore today should be the most outstanding among so many people at the scene. At this time, it attracted the attention of many aunts.

The general plan proposed by Feng Yiping, the master craftsman in the shop finished it very well in the end, the main body is lake blue, with some dark flowers on it, and the hem of the cheongsam is a black background with a few large red and white flowers. The effect of contrasting colors is elegant and eye-catching as a whole.

But soon, Feng Yiping’s refreshment happened. After the leader’s speech, a consul came to the stage and sang "My Chinese Heart", and then a singer sang "My Motherland". development trend.

However, the new business card holder that I bought specially did not come in handy. When everyone was vying to take photos with the consul general, the governor and the mayor, the overseas Chinese leaders, and the presidents of the general halls, the two of them quietly left.

For some reason, he was able to get along well with those small bosses in Chinatown, but he couldn't seem to get along with these overseas Chinese who had status, status and capital.

The main reason is that these overseas Chinese can move freely among several identities, but sometimes he can't keep up.

Hehe, it wasn't just the two of them who left the stage. At the gate, the deputy consul general who greeted guests just now was seeing off the granddaughter of a hero of the 1911 Revolution.

"Go back now?" the deputy consul general asked enthusiastically.

"Yes, sorry, my girlfriend is not feeling well,"

"It doesn't matter, the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is here today, why don't I introduce it to you?"

"No, because I have to attend the reception today, I was a little excited yesterday, I didn't have a good rest, and I was a little dizzy,"

"Hehe, you have to go back and have a good rest. In this way, I will give you a business card. If you want to take care of your body, please call me. I will introduce you to people from the Chinese Medicine Association,"

"Thank you," Feng Yiping accepted today's first business card.

"You can also call me if you have other matters. You are welcome. Remember, the embassy or consulate is your home,"

Since it was the first time we met, the Deputy Consul General only spoke to the point.

"Okay, I will ask you for help if I need it."
