Jiang Jun took the bag and asked, "Do you know which country's VIPs are being received?"
"It's the British army." Xiaohu couldn't help but laugh. The Allied forces in the movie.
"Got it. Go get the car over here, I'll be there soon."
Jiang Yun closed the door and walked into the bedroom, taking out the clothes from the bag.
A silk white long-sleeved shirt and a military green tweed skirt suit, black shallow-mouthed leather shoes with medium heels, and short glass silk stockings. The workmanship is exquisite and the materials are superior. It is configured according to the highest standards of the formal attire for reception staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is simple and solemn.
This is quite luxurious for the military's reception uniforms.
Without a full-length dressing mirror, Jiang Yun could only lay out the clothes on the bed and try to match them together.
The suit skirt is longer than the knee, so the shirt can only be tucked into the skirt, and the stockings should be placed approximately below the skirt.
Such an old-fashioned combination will make anyone who wears it look twenty years older.
Jiang Jun immediately imagined the image of a female teacher wearing gold-rimmed glasses - a middle-aged or elderly female teacher, with fine lines all over her face, old-fashioned and serious - that was the most common image of female teachers she saw when she was studying at the Royal Girls' School in Britain.
She thought of her roommates who were second- and third-generation rich girls. They always tried to find small accessories to match their school uniforms to look youthful and lively, showing the youthful vigor and vitality.
Jiang Yun found two newly made pink plaid bows and placed them on her suit skirt to compare the colors. They looked very harmonious.
Then place the small bow on top of the shirt and the larger bow on the collar of the shirt as a headpiece and bow tie.
In this case, the transparent stockings and shallow leather shoes will appear thin, and the overall combination will look top-heavy.
Jiang Jun had no choice but to use his private tools again and took out his most valuable items, high-top lace-up leather shoes and white stockings.
She bought her leather shoes in Beijing, her only pair, half a size too big, and she never had the chance to wear them. She knitted her white stockings, stitch by stitch, by disassembling a dozen pairs of work gloves.
Once the style is determined and it looks good, you will feel confident when wearing it.
Jiang Jun put on her shirt and suit skirt, only to find that the waist of the skirt was half an inch too wide. She quickly used pins to gather it in the dark to make the skirt fit.
If the skirt is too big, then the coat will definitely be too big, and the wide shoulders cannot be corrected.
Jiang Jun had no choice but to find a white cashmere pullover sweater to cover the pin marks on the waist of her skirt.
After putting on her stockings and tying her shoelaces, Jiang Jun found that the socks kept slipping down, so she simply rolled the socks down twice.
Xiaohu knocked on the door outside: "Teacher Xiaojiang, it's time!"
Jiang Jun answered loudly: "Okay, here I come!"
She quickly combed her half-wet hair in front of the mirror, tied it into a princess bun, fastened the bow to the rubber band, pinned the bow tie to her collar, picked up her coat and went out.
Xiaohu looked anxious and pointed at his watch: "Commander Gao ordered me to bring you to the headquarters before ten o'clock!"
Why is Teacher Xiao Jiang so slow in changing clothes? He has seen female soldiers in the political department who can change their clothes within a minute of entering or leaving the room!
I was so anxious that I had to drive very fast to get back.
In that era, there were few cars and military vehicles were very conspicuous on the road. Xiaohu frequently looked at his watch and kept asking the driver to step on the accelerator hard. He never stopped giving orders to drive faster. Wherever the car went, it raised a light dust.
On the country road, cyclists and horse-drawn carriage drivers saw the dust flying from afar and quickly moved to the side of the road to make way for the military vehicles.
Finally, they arrived on time.
Xiao Hu breathed a sigh of relief and jumped out to open the door for Jiang Jun. "Teacher Jiang, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and ask for instructions."
Jiang Jun got out of the car, folded his tweed jacket in half, put it on his arm, and stood waiting at the door of the banquet hall.
After a while, Xiaohu came over with a middle-aged woman in a Mao suit. "Director Qi, this is Teacher Xiao Jiang, the translator assigned by Commander Gao!"
Director Qi looked at Jiang Jun's long hair draped over his shoulders, his bright pink bow tie, and beige sweater, and couldn't help but frown: "You're not a soldier?"
Jiang Jun smiled: "I used to be a soldier."
Director Qi didn't like Jiang Yun's dress and smile. They were too frivolous and not at all dignified. And the socks were piled up in a ball at her ankles. What kind of look did she have? She must have just woken up. "Can you speak English? What level?"
Jiang Jun smiled and gave a brief self-introduction in English, and briefly described in English how Xiaohu went to pick her up.
Director Qi was surprised by Jiang Yun's authentic pronunciation; it was as fluent as that of a Chinese expatriate living abroad! He then asked another question: "If our leader accidentally leaked a secret to a friendly envoy who might be an enemy, would you translate it accurately?"
Jiang Jun replied seriously, "I used to be a soldier. Military secrets are the most important secrets. I have the responsibility to protect them from being leaked."
Director Qi nodded slightly, approving the preliminary review. He handed Jiang Jun a stack of five or six pages of letter paper. "This is the itinerary for the next three days. Is there anything you don't understand?"
Jiang Jun took it and looked at it carefully. The itinerary was very simple, consisting of meetings and visits. What was important was the detailed notes after each itinerary, which were all things the translator must keep in mind.
In addition to etiquette, there are also considerations such as whether the content of the conversation between the two parties involves sensitive topics. At key points, it is also necessary to remind the leader in a timely manner to take the initiative, what content is taboo to translate, etc.
Jiang Jun silently memorized the itinerary in his mind. "Director Qi, I understand. There's no problem for now."
Director Qi turned around and gestured to Xiaohu: "Take her in and have her sit down. The foreign guests are here and will be here soon."
Tiger saluted: "Yes!"
Director Qi said again: "Wait, Xiao Jiang, put on your coat."
It feels too casual to hold it in your hand. What does it look like?
Jiang Jun explained, "The jacket doesn't fit. It's too big. I'll give it to the guard to bring out when I get in."
Director Qi waved his hand, saying, "Go in quickly!"
Xiaohu took Jiang Yun through the back passage of the conference room and led him in through a small door.
Gao Lei was whispering to Chen Zhong. When he turned and saw Jiang Jun, he immediately smiled. "Xiao Jiang, did they tell you? This reception mission lasts three days. You must be ready to fight at any time."
Jiang Yun smiled softly: "Please rest assured, Uncle Gao, I will definitely complete the task successfully!"
A female soldier came over and handed over a pen and paper for work. Jiang Jun handed the coat to Xiaohu and said, "Take it out for me. Put it with my bag."
Gao Lei then took a look at Jiang Jun's outfit. It was pretty nice, like a female celebrity, but not serious enough. "Sit down. Why aren't you wearing a dress?"
Jiang Jun sat down in the translation seat in the back row between Gao Lei and Chen Zhong and explained softly, "I'm also dressed formally."
