After Jiang Jun responded with a smile, Admiral Dave finally put away his arrogance and even behaved like a gentleman in the subsequent talks.
In Gao Lei's words, Admiral Dave looks a bit like an Allied soldier.
The atmosphere of the talks changed from stiff to friendly.
Almost everyone present was curious about Jiang Jun. Those who didn't understand foreign languages wanted to know what she had said to shock the foreigners, while those who did understand foreign languages admired her quick wit and graceful answers. They all wanted to know where she came from.
There was a translator named Xiao Xingxing who followed the deputy director of the Military Affairs Department and he paid special attention to Jiang Jun's every move.
When heroes meet good guys, they will naturally appreciate each other.
Xiao Xingxing really wanted to get to know Jiang Jun at this moment, and set her sights on Jiang Jun whenever she had the chance.
Unexpectedly, the military's accompanying translator was dressed so fashionably and was so bold. Originally, these translators who graduated from professional schools were all somewhat confident about their English level, and no one dared to stand out in important occasions like Jiang Jun.
After working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for two or three years, the people I met were all high-ranking leaders with great power. They all developed the habit of following orders in everything. Most people were transferred to important positions because of this.
Of course, Xiao Xingxing's ambitions did not stop there. She thought about applying to work in an embassy abroad, and she also worked hard to learn and understand foreign history and culture.
She knew too well that it takes ten years of hard work to be successful on stage. To be able to speak so fluently like Jiang Jun, he must have put in a lot of hard work and accumulated a wealth of knowledge.
After watching for a few more times, Xiao Xingxing sensitively discovered that the occasional conversations between Chen Zhong and Jiang Jun looked very similar to the interactions between Admiral Dave and Jenny, and there was also a kind of familiarity between father and daughter.
Xiao Xingxing had been to the Chen family in Beijing and had the honor of meeting Chen Zhong, who rarely returned to his small courtyard in Beijing for many years.
In her only memory, Chen Zhong was like a statue or a portrait, with an unchanging serious expression, but now she saw that he was amiable, which made her more curious and strengthened her determination to make friends with Jiang Jun.
It was soon lunch time.
Gao Lei politely invited: "We have prepared some light wine, please have a taste, Admiral Dave."
They came here to learn about our military culture, so a reception lunch was held in the banquet hall temporarily decorated at the military headquarters.
Jenny asked Admiral Dave: "Father, I want to talk to that female translator, is that okay?"
Admiral Dave asked Gao Lei, "General Gao, my daughter wants to dine with the charming lady next to you. Can you agree to her small request?"
Gao Lei ignored the military affairs department leader's look asking him to agree, and turned to ask Jiang Jun's opinion: "Are you willing?"
Hey, foreigners listen to their daughters, so we listen to them too. Even though they are not our biological daughters, they are almost the same as our biological daughters.
Jiang Jun had to agree. Not only was she being watched by the Military Affairs Department, but also social etiquette did not allow her to refuse.
She thought it over. They still had two and a half days to spend together. She might as well ask the other person to respect her from the beginning. "Okay!"
After entering the banquet hall, Jiang Jun was led by the guard to a seat next to Jenny.
When translators are really tired and leaders and foreign guests are having a happy meal, they still have to stick to their posts and work at any time. They have no time to eat and often go hungry all day, only drinking a few sips of water.
Jiang Jun was able to sit down and have a good meal, all thanks to the little foreign girl.
At the same time, there was a vacancy in the translator position beside Gao Lei.
So, Xiao Xingxing volunteered: "Deputy Director, I will translate for the commander."
He can get close to Chen Zhong and observe Jiang Yun up close.
Jenny curiously asked Jiang Jun, "Which school uniform are you wearing? Your pronunciation is perfect, a standard Oxford accent. Have you ever been to Oxford?"
Jiang Jun smiled and replied, "I'm just wearing my daily work uniform. I've never been to Oxford, but I've heard of many famous people there."
At this time, the translator and tutor behind Jenny came forward to help Jenny spread the napkin.
Jenny fell silent immediately. It was her tutor reminding her not to talk during meals.
Seeing this, Jiang Jun smiled and said to Jenny, "Don't worry, if you don't know how to use chopsticks, I can take care of you and make sure you can enjoy our delicious food."
At large banquets, casual chatting is not allowed, but polite conversations are still allowed. It is also a courtesy for the host to take care of the guests during their meals.
Jenny and Jiang Jun, one with a broad forehead, high nose, deep eyes, blonde hair and blue eyes, the other with a high forehead, thin nose, phoenix eyes and beautiful flowing eyes. One is a typical Western noble princess, the other is a fairy with very oriental characteristics. They sat together and talked and laughed softly, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.
Admiral Dave even said to Gao Lei, "General Gao, I think they hit it off right away. It's like seeing Jenny inviting classmates to a family dinner."
There are only a limited number of Chinese who can attend the British Royal School for the Nobles. Their intelligence agency's information does not mention that there are such Anglicized Chinese. Admiral Dave tried to find out some information in a roundabout way.
Gao Lei was not fooled: "Yes, this kind of friendship is very rare. As we say, all people in the world are brothers!"
Chen Zhongze was secretly happy. In a situation where even those tough guys who dared to face the hail of bullets felt awkward, Xiaojun was not at all nervous. She greeted Jenny naturally like a hostess. Her aura completely crushed all the foreigners!
It would be great if his family’s Old Ye was here too!
Substitute translator Xiao Xingxing translated carefully and seriously, not daring to be distracted at all.
With Jiang Jun's translation as a precedent, she couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Influenced by the environment, these competitive girls don’t know what jealousy is. They only know that a strong competitive spirit is the guarantee of success!
Xiao Xingxing is extremely competitive - of course, if she wasn't so competitive, she wouldn't have been able to achieve such outstanding work results - she feels that she is knowledgeable enough and has seen a lot of social etiquette. She has met the wives of heads of state and marshals. In short, she has seen manners that are countless times more noble than Jiang Jun's. So she can find Jiang Jun's shortcomings. Yes, they are very obvious and she can see them at a glance.
With this mentality, Xiao Xingxing unconsciously began to compare herself with Jiang Jun.
The banquet table was surrounded by three circles inside and outside. The first circle was for the meeting guests and hosts, the second circle was almost all for translators and nannies, and the third circle was for guards and housekeepers.
Jiang Jun's attention was only on the first circle around the table, and he didn't notice Xiao Xingxing's subtle movements at all, because Jenny was trying very hard to learn how to use chopsticks.
"Zhan An!" Jenny called Jiang Jun's English name. "Your hands holding chopsticks are so beautiful, just like Orpheus playing the harp!"
