Chapter 1330 Ordinary people have no choice
Sophia chatted with Li Ye for a long time with a smile, but in the end she could only smile slightly and left gracefully.
Li Ye has insisted that he won't dance. Even if Sophia says she can teach Li Ye to dance, but Li Ye just doesn't want to step on your feet, do you still want to force him to make a fool of himself on the spot?
As soon as Sophia left, Sun Xianjin asked strangely, "Brother, are you so afraid of your wife now?"
Li Ye laughed and scolded, "Who is afraid of his wife? Don't you know my mother? Besides, don't you know how virtuous your sister-in-law is?"
"Hehe, sister-in-law is quite virtuous. But I remember when you were in Beijing University, didn't you often dance with sister-in-law?"
Sun Xianjin's eyes looked even weirder. Wen Leyu's "virtuous" image would only shine towards Li Ye.
Moreover, when Li Ye and Wen Leyu were just freshmen, they danced by the lake with a small tape recorder as accompaniment, and were accused of "dancing in the dark and not making sense". So when Li Ye said that he couldn't dance, he was lying.
However, Li Ye glanced at Sun Xianjin and said with a half-smile: "Why don't you go and save your Sophia later! I'll explain it to Bian Jingjing for you later and make sure she doesn't misunderstand."
Sun Xianjin immediately became timid.
"No, no, no, please forgive me, brother, please forgive me! My wife can't compare to my sister-in-law, her heart is as small as a needle point."
“Hahaha~”
Li Ye laughed loudly, then quickly stopped laughing, because the atmosphere around him was not normal, and his seemingly normal laughter attracted everyone's attention.
The people of Kamaz gathered the two rivals together for a "welcome reception". Moreover, the two sides had fought in history and both claimed to be the winners, namely the White Elephant and the Flower Planter. It would be strange if the atmosphere could be normal!
At this moment, Deputy Director Liang walked out from a corner of the banquet and waved to Li Ye.
Li Ye walked over quickly and heard Liang Furu's instructions: "Those White Elephants speak English. I just called Counselor Xu to communicate. You and Lao Shao go to the embassy to pick up an interpreter."
Li Ye was slightly stunned, but then nodded in agreement and pulled Lao Shao out of the banquet.
If it was an English translation, Li Ye could actually do it, but think about it, there are many hidden talents in the inspection team, and there must be at least five who can speak English. Liang Furu must have his reasons for making such an arrangement.
Only after getting in the car did Li Ye humbly ask Lao Shao for advice.
Lao Shao explained: "There's nothing strange about this. It's better to be careful. Our relationship with Baixiang is very delicate. Asking a third party to be present as a witness can help us deal with many emergencies."
"Oh, I see."
Li Ye was a little surprised, and sighed that people these days have a good work attitude and are willing to help each other with any problems.
"Old Qu, drive faster and don't keep our colleagues waiting for too long."
The banquet venue of the Kamaz Automobile Factory is some distance away from the embassy. After listening to Lao Shao's explanation, Li Ye wanted to pick the people up as soon as possible.
Qu Qingyou's usual driving style is similar to his personality, silent and steady. But there was snow on the street, so he drove even slower.
However, after listening to Li Ye's words, Qu Qingyou immediately drove much faster, and the vehicle was still driving very steadily.
Jiang Shiqi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, smiled and said, "Old Qu, you should have driven faster a long time ago. It's not that you don't have the skills. Why are you dilly-dallying all day long?"
Qu Qingyou was silent for a few seconds, then said silently: "Safety first."
“Heh~”
Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.
His "eldest nephew" Jiang Shiqi has always been arrogant and never convinced anyone, but he admires Qu Qingyou's driving skills, and it seems that there is a reason for that.
But Qu Qingyou had just accelerated for less than two minutes when he suddenly braked to a stop and began to reverse quickly.
Li Ye asked in surprise: "What's wrong, Old Qu?"
Qu Qingyou said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong ahead, let's take a detour."
"Take a detour?"
Li Ye looked ahead in surprise, but didn't feel anything unusual.
In Moscow's winter, it gets dark very early. At seven o'clock, the road was already pitch black with few pedestrians and no cars on the road. What was wrong?
But then Li Ye realized what was wrong.
At the end of the street, a bright light suddenly lit up and shone towards Li Ye and others.
However, at this time Qu Qingyou had already completed the actions of reversing and turning, and stepped on the accelerator and quickly left in the opposite direction.
Lao Shao was shocked and asked, "Has Moscow become so chaotic? Are you still awake at this hour? Do you dare to rob people in the city?"
Jiang Shiqi shook his head and said, "It's not highway robbery, but it's almost the same. They say they are here to maintain Zhi'an, but they are all here to make extra money.
Seeing our situation is like seeing a fat sheep. Even if we can deal with it, it will take a lot of time, and the cigarettes and alcohol in the trunk will definitely be gone. We can't afford to be angry."
"They won't catch up with us, will they?"
Lao Shao turned his head to look back, feeling a little panicked. This thing was more serious than real highway robbery, he had to be panicked!
Jiang Shiqi smiled and said, "Normally not. We are afraid of them on the street, but they are afraid of us once they enter the alley."
“.”
Old Shao was startled and looked at Li Ye with a strange look.
[Where do these two drivers come from? ]
Li Ye said with a straight face: "Hey, hey, hey, stop talking nonsense, watch the road carefully and be alert."
“Hehehe~”
Jiang Shiqi smiled and disagreed.
The idea of "being kind to others" that has been passed down by the flower-growing families for thousands of years will make the entire society full of warmth. Even if it is riddled with holes due to the impact of certain ideas decades later, it will still be much more stable than many places.
But if you go abroad with this kind of thinking in mind, you will really feel a little uncomfortable. A race raised with a bandit mentality always treats kind people as fat sheep.
So Jiang Shiqi was just a cheerful driver in the mainland, but when he arrived in Moscow, he showed his fierce side.
Confucius, who is nine feet tall, is good at swordsmanship. If you are kind to me, I will be kind to you. If you act tough with me, isn't that just what I want?
Lao Shao soon calmed down after being nervous, and whispered to Li Ye: "When we get to the embassy later, should we try to build some connections? We have some gifts in the trunk of our car."
Li Ye immediately agreed: "Okay, this matter still depends on you, Old Shao, to make the decision, you decide."
As for the embassy, it may not be that they are in need of just these things from you. After all, even in the harshest of environments, some units must ensure supply. But your sending a trunk full of in-demand goods always shows your thoughtfulness, doesn't it?
When you ask someone for help late at night, you must have some sense of responsibility.
Anyone who can reach Lao Shao’s position is not an elite.
Li Ye's strength is "one strength overcomes ten skills", which means that he can cover up other shortcomings with one extremely outstanding advantage. But when it comes to interpersonal relationships, Lao Shao is more sensible than Li Ye.
. . . . . . . . . .
When they arrived at the embassy, two translators arranged by them were already waiting. Li Ye and others got out of the car and started moving things inside.
Counselor Xu also came out and said with a smile: "Great! You are determined to give us a prosperous New Year!"
Lao Shao smiled and said, "Our Liang said that Moscow is not like our hometown. The roads are not safe at night. I am really sorry to bother you. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't mind."
"Why should we be surprised by this? We are so happy!"
Counselor Xu smiled and said, "Wait a moment. I'll ask the driver team to send two cars over. You can leave your car here and come back to pick it up later."
Well, Li Ye really admired Lao Shao now. Even if a trunk full of cigarettes and alcohol was in short supply, it was worth it to be able to exchange it for such a big face.
When Li Ye and others were returning to the Kamas banquet, they took the same road that Qu Qingyou had chosen at the beginning. As expected, they encountered those people who blocked the road for inspection again.
The same bright headlights rudely illuminated the car of Li Ye and others, but after just a few seconds, the bright headlights went out.
Then Li Ye and others passed smoothly.
Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.
When Ban Dingyuan and his thirty-six riders roamed the Western Regions, was it really because of his wisdom and courage?
But forget it, that’s because the Han people are powerful.
The stronger a country is, the more confident its ordinary people are.
Just think, a few decades later, many people will dislike flower growers and praise the superiority of the overseas civilized world.
For those elites, it’s fine for them to just praise them, after all, they really have the ability to immigrate abroad.
But for ordinary people, do you have any other way out besides hoping that your country will become stronger and stronger? You have no choice!
This is just like those children who always complain that their parents are incompetent, uneducated, and have no temperament.
Every day, you get angry no matter how you look at your parents, resenting them for bringing you into this world even though they are so poor.
But when the time comes to get married and buy a house, don't you still have to bow your head and beg your parents to give you money?
So as an ordinary person, you'd better pray for your parents to be healthy, safe, and live a hundred years, because apart from them, who else will care about your life or death?
