It was not until the driver reminded her that they had reached Nathan Road that she came to her senses, quickly adjusted her skirt, and got off the car.
"I don't know when the mainland will be able to develop like Hong Kong Island..."
After getting off the car, Guo Linxian found No. 172 according to the address and walked up to the third floor.
At that time, the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch was still very small, serving as an official news business department set up by the mainland on Hong Kong Island.
In fact, it serves as the de facto voice of the mainland.
The third floor is not big, with only five or six offices. It is already working time. Guo Linxian can clearly tell from the dress and behavior of the staff coming and going that they are from the mainland.
"Miss, this is the Hong Kong branch of China's Xinhua News Agency. What can I do for you?"
A staff member saw Guo Linxian come in and asked politely in somewhat broken Cantonese.
Although Guo Linxian knows many languages, she does not speak Cantonese. After a pause, she asked in Mandarin: "I am Guo Linxian. I am here to work. I was called to report today."
"Oh! Then come with me to President Liang's office."
The staff led Guo Linxian inside, and other people who had just passed by started talking about it.
"Who is this person? He is dressed so fashionably and keeps saying he works here.
Could it be that our company is now recruiting people from Hong Kong?"
"It shouldn't be like this! How could our company recruit people from Hong Kong? They are all elites transferred from various units in the mainland."
"From the way she looks and the tone of her voice, I think she's from Shanghai!
When I was sorting out materials for the president a few days ago, the president said that a new section chief would be transferred from the Shanghai Translation Bureau in mainland China to our translation department! Could it be her?"
…
The faces of the several translation department officials who were speaking did not look very good.
Because their former head of the translation department secretly ran away when he was out and no one was paying attention.
This is a very serious incident and even the president Liang Weilin was punished for it.
The ordinary cadres in their translation department were severely criticized by President Liang. How could they lose track of a living person?
They feel wronged too!
The entire department applied for an outing together, and the leading leader was their section chief!
They have to listen to whatever the section chief says!
In the end, the section chief sent them away and ran away. What else could they do?
Yes!
When they were in the mainland, the lives and status of these cadres who were transferred to Hong Kong Island were quite superior.
When facing ordinary workers and farmers, he always walks with his head held high, and has a sense of pride as a superior person wherever he goes.
But after arriving in Hong Kong, they were suddenly shocked by this colorful world. All their previous pride was of no use here and instead became the source of their inferiority.
When most of the cadres who come to Hong Kong first arrive, they are extremely envious of the lives of Hong Kong people and also yearn for the colorful world outside.
Therefore, it is inevitable that a small number of leading cadres with weak party spirit will be corrupted by foreign forces and leave the team.
…
Dongdong...
In the office of President Liang Weilin, he heard a knock on the door, and without even raising his head, he said softly: "Come in!"
"President, this lady is Comrade Guo Linxian who will be reporting here today."
The cadre who brought Guo Linxian in, after introducing her, closed the door and left.
As soon as Liang Weilin heard Guo Linxian's name, his attitude immediately became enthusiastic.
He stood up from his seat in an instant, a smile spread across his face in a second, and walked up to Guo Linxian and shook hands excitedly, saying, "Director Guo! I've finally waited for you to come. Oh no! It was my negligence. I should have sent a car to pick you up in person."
"No way, President Liang, I'm here to work, not to enjoy myself.
You are my leader, how can I let you pick me up?"
Guo Linxian knew very well that President Liang was so enthusiastic towards her, three-tenths because of her husband Liu Guopeng's face, and the other seven-tenths because of the status of her father, Guo Letian, the great tycoon.
She was very tactful and humble, handing over her files and information.
"We are all revolutionary comrades! There is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, leaders or non-leaders!
Director Guo, you hold a deputy director-level leadership position at the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office.
When you come to our Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, you will have to be the head of the translation department.
But don't worry, our Xinhua News Agency Hong Kong Branch has high-ranking positions with low-level staff, and your rank has not been reduced, but has been promoted to the department level."
While flipping through Guo Linxian's file, President Liang introduced her very enthusiastically and kindly.
"Okay! President Liang, I will definitely work hard and make a difference in my position.
Translation is also my specialty. I can speak English, Russian, Japanese, Korean, etc.
There are some important and urgent documents, please give them to me at any time..."
Guo Linxian also habitually promised to work hard, "Please take me to the translation department to meet the comrades we work with."
"Good! From now on, we are revolutionary comrades on the same front. The situation in Hong Kong Island is not very optimistic recently.
Our workload is huge and the work intensity is very high.
Especially your translation department, you get a lot of information and the confidentiality level is very high.
We can’t rely on an outside translation agency, so it can only be done secretly by you guys…”
