Mr. Hohfeld took a deep breath. After returning from Geneva last time, many people opposed the agreement he signed with China. Many people also talked behind his back, saying that he had made the most wrong decision. But now, looking at the situation in front of him, Mr. Hohfeld had a premonition that this would be a very correct decision for him.
He dared to conclude that he had done nothing wrong in cooperating with China.
"Mr. Hohfeld, just ahead is our launch center's cafeteria. Your luggage has been taken to our launch center's guesthouse." Su Qingyun said, noting that they had almost finished their tour. "I'm sure you're hungry after all this travel. How about we eat first and chat while we eat?"
The launch center has a guesthouse, which is usually used only when leaders from above come to inspect. They are a confidential unit and there will not be any relatives of researchers visiting, so there are not many people staying here all year round. This time is the most guests they have received, and the room has already been cleaned and tidy.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Mr. Hohfeld said happily and had no objection.
He knew that there was a saying in China that guests should follow the host's wishes. Since they were guests, they had to obey the host's arrangements.
"Okay, then everyone follow me. The food is ready. Everyone, please sit down and we will eat!" Su Qingyun greeted everyone warmly.
The canteen usually serves dishes from a big pot, and only during festivals and holidays will they make some delicious stir-fries. Today, the chefs finally have the opportunity to show off their skills, and they are eager to show off their skills to these foreigners and let them experience the taste of Chinese cuisine.
All the members of the delegation took their seats, and soon, plates of delicious food with a beautiful appearance and aroma were brought to the table and placed in front of them. The delegation members looked on curiously.
The canteen chef came over to introduce today's dishes, and Su Qingyun helped him translate.
"Mr. Horfield, these dishes are all specialties from various parts of China. We have selected one dish from each province. Starting with Beijing Roast Duck, here are steamed pork with rice flour, mapo tofu, pork stewed with vermicelli, hot dry noodles, big plate chicken, chopped pepper fish head, donkey meat hot pot, white-cut chicken, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall..." Su Qingyun introduced each dish to each other and then greeted everyone, "Everyone try it and see how it tastes."
"Okay." Mr. Hohfeld agreed with a smile. He picked up the chopsticks and moved his fingers flexibly.
Su Qingyun was a little surprised. "Mr. Horfield, I didn't expect you to be so good at using chopsticks?"
"Of course." Mr. Hohfeld said proudly, "You Chinese have a saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We came to your country for an inspection, so naturally we have to adapt to your customs. Before we came, we trained everyone, and now everyone can basically eat with chopsticks, no problem."
Before a country's aerospace delegation went abroad for an inspection, they specially trained how to use chopsticks? Su Qingyun couldn't help laughing when she thought of this, but on the other hand, she also felt their respect for China, which made her feel a little relieved. This is the respect brought by strength.
The other researchers at the launch center were also a little surprised. They didn't expect that they would specially learn how to use chopsticks. After realizing the reason, they also smiled.
That’s great.
"Everyone, let's start eating."
The members of the F country delegation picked up their chopsticks and started eating. They were initially resistant to some of the dishes, but after a quick taste, they discovered how delicious they were. They opened their eyes wide and started to devour the food with relish. Not only did they pick up their chopsticks much faster, but their dexterity in using chopsticks also improved rapidly.
Mr. Hohfeld was also full of praise, "Miss Su, I didn't expect that your Chinese country is not only good at science and technology, but also has good cooking skills."
"Of course." Although Su Qingyun couldn't cook, it didn't stop her from being proud of the working people of her country. "This is the characteristic of us Chinese. We strive to do our best at everything we do. If we like food, we'll constantly research how to make the best dish and develop new recipes. If we want to wear nice clothes, we'll learn how to raise silkworms, spin yarn, and make clothes. If we want to go further, we'll start by taming animals as a means of transportation, and then make transportation out of wood..."
"Similarly, ever since the dream of flying began, the Chinese people have been exploring the sky. In ancient my country, there was a man who was the first to think of using a rocket to fly into space, and he sacrificed his life during the experiment. It can be said that he was the first pioneer in humankind to attempt a manned rocket flight."
Su Qingyun talked slowly about the concepts from eating to flying, and everyone listened very attentively.
"So, we Chinese have never lacked a spirit of exploration or diligent study. As long as we want to achieve something, no matter how difficult it is, we will work hard to do it." Su Qingyun said in a steady and powerful tone, "So, in the field of aerospace, we do the same, constantly improving and exploring."
"Mr. Hohfeld, your country F will not be wrong to choose us." Su Qingyun said the last sentence with a firm tone.
She knew that ever since China and Country F signed the cooperation agreement, there had been constant international discussion, especially from Country A. Sarcasm and open ridicule were not enough to express their indignation. They even directly asserted in international newspapers that the cooperation between China and Country F would not have any effect, but would be counterproductive. The harsh and tricky words they used made people furious.
Therefore, the primary task of Su Qingyun and his team in receiving the F Country Space Delegation this time is to strengthen their confidence in mutual cooperation, which cannot be shaken in the slightest.
"Of course I know, I'm not wrong." Mr. Hohfeld understood what she meant and nodded with a smile. "Ms. Su, after dinner, can you show us your recent research results? We'd also like to have a deeper understanding."
"Of course." Su Qingyun agreed happily.
Of course she knew that the visits just now were just appetizers. What they really wanted to see had not yet been revealed. Those were the things that represented their sincerity and strength.
Mr. Hofield smiled and nodded, continued eating, and chatted with Su Qingyun about other things.
The atmosphere is friendly and harmonious.
Zhao was watching this happy scene and nodded repeatedly in his heart. Sure enough, letting Qingyun be the person in charge of receiving this inspection team was the most correct decision.
