Chapter 122 (1/2)
”Mr. Bruce, do you know anything about Zheng Jianguo?”
When Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhao hurried back to the liaison office along the avenue, they saw that the door of the assistant office was tightly closed. Naturally, they didn't know who the solemn looking middle-aged man in the house was talking to on the phone. They could only feel a touch of dignity from his dignified face that seemed to drip water: ”just when it is about to be announced --”
”It's a few minutes before the release of the communique. Others know that this matter is meaningless. I know a little about Zheng Jianguo's news, but it belongs to the scope of exchanges between schools and school units and units. I think this will help improve the people's understanding of each other. This classmate will return home after completing his studies in China, It can also be regarded as the embodiment of cultural exchange -- ”
Bruce's voice was a little low and hoarse. His biological clock had not turned back after 30 hours of flight. After that, he heard a few words on the phone and hung up. At this time, the figure of the assistant appeared at the door, tilted his head, stood up immediately and followed him to the brightly lit big office.
In 40 or 50 square offices, more than a dozen colleagues are standing or sitting looking at the TV in the corner. At this moment, a face appears on the screen and speaks authentic American English: ”fellow Americans, yesterday our country and the Republic reached an agreement to officially establish diplomatic relations on January 1, 1979 --”
”Yeah!!!”
”Hua Hua --”
The high cheers burst out with fierce applause. Bruce had a brilliant smile on his face, as if all the efforts in the past had recovered unimaginable returns at this time. Of course, he didn't know at this time that the future returns were much more than he could imagine at this time——
”Warmly congratulate Zheng Jianguo, a graduate student of our university, for publishing his paper in Lancet.”
At 10:30 a.m. capital time on December 16, a long banner was pulled by iron wire and hung over the school gate. Zheng Jianguo stood below with lancet in his left hand and Time magazine in his right hand.
Zach Lewis, named Zhu Hong, held the latest Nikon f2titan titanium camera in his hand and quickly pressed it. Then he looked at it and felt bad. He stood up and said, ”I think it's better to hold one. If I hold two, it's too deliberate and artificial -”
Since Ms. Zhu Hong came here yesterday with a pile of school materials, Zheng Jianguo is now familiar with her. Especially after she chose the school to study with the help of Ye minde, Rao is an attendant of the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office. However, there is no deliberate estrangement between them: ”the camera is yours and the film is yours, I happen to have time now -- ”
”Your time is also very precious. It's better to delay less. That's it.”
When Zheng Jianguo pressed the shutter at will, Zhu Hong's eyes were full of surprise: ”your English is still good, that is to say, you have less confidence, like - inferiority complex. During this time, you have to speed up your study. The course of medical school is not easy, and I don't even know some words.”
”Those are special words, such as medical English.”
Zheng Jianguo was a little stumbling when he said it. When communicating, he felt like he had a walnut in his mouth. Fortunately, Zhu Hong talked about Putonghua just like him. Aside from the entourage who stood by and watched more than the interpreter, their communication was unimpeded, Of course, the content is limited to this: ”I didn't expect Mayo Medical School to offer me such favorable conditions -”
”Unlike other medical schools, Mayo's salary does not fluctuate with fame, authority and seniority, but adopts a salary system. A fixed and slightly higher salary is the most important factor to stabilize people's hearts. Everyone will try their best to help patients -”
Zhu Hong took the camera and quickly pressed it twice again. She immediately nodded with satisfaction, covered the lens, put the camera away, took a few steps in front of Zheng Jianguo and continued to say, ”I didn't expect that they would give you such a generous treatment, or maybe considering that you have a lot of clinical experience - I'll go back now, I'll let you know as soon as I communicate with mayo. ”
”Then I'm waiting for your good news. Have a nice trip!”
Zheng Jianguo put away two magazines and said goodbye. Zhu Hong thought about it. It was all right. She immediately smiled and waved her hand: ”goodbye, Zheng Jianguo.”
When he got to the roadside, he sent Zhu Hong away. Zheng Jianguo turned back and saw ye zhenkai change his hairstyle in the distance. It was like seeing him so short to light for the first time. At this moment, he looked at him and walked in front of him. A pair of dark eyes were full of silence: ”Congratulations, Jianguo. My grandfather said you were going to go to school abroad, and I was going to be a soldier.”
”It's a good thing to be a soldier. Uncle Ye can help you find a good place to work when you come back.”
Towards the end of the year, the conscription work in various places had come to an end. Zheng Jianguo was not sure whether he was a ”good friend” or a ”younger generation” who didn't know whether he was ”learning from the third generation” or ”the second generation of officials”. Fortunately, looking back on the bits and pieces of contact between the two people, he didn't think it was his own wing that fanned him into the army, At the moment, influenced by the mood of going abroad to study after the publication of the paper, the part that rarely appears is impetuous: ”it is said that there is a habit of bullying recruits in the army. You should be prepared for this part.”
”I've heard that it's an old tradition. My father scares me with this, saying that if I can't bear to be a deserter, he won't recognize me as a son.”
With a cold wind blowing, ye zhenkai shrunk his neck, and his shaved head was a little better than his bald head. Although he was wearing a hat at the moment, the exposed place was still not small. He looked at Zheng Jianguo with his eyes and said, ”I'm leaving tonight. My grandfather said he wanted me to tell you goodbye. I'll be a soldier and you'll study abroad, It seems that we won't see each other for a long time. ”
”Professor Ye is old and in poor health. When you go to the army, you will be honest and obedient. Of course, you may not like to hear me say this, but considering that there may be war when you are a soldier, you are not honest and obedient and become proficient in your business. When you go to the battlefield, you will be blind.
Moreover, I heard that there is a quota for staff reduction in training at ordinary times. When things happen, I miss my family more. It is said that you are so big, you shouldn't use me to say, but Professor Ye has only a grandson like you, and I hope you can give him a great grandson at that time -- ”
Zheng Jianguo didn't say what the old man would say a hundred years later. He really wanted to teach ye zhenkai what to do when he joined the army. He just remembered that he had little personal knowledge about soldiers in the past, and what he knew were strategic things. He revealed a little that there was a risk of being caught and sliced at any time, Of course, in the end, I still couldn't resist my curiosity: ”which direction are you going to be a soldier?”
