Chapter 209 The storm suddenly arises(1/2)
On February 17, 2014, Prime Minister of the Dongxialai Kingdom, Cabinet Prime Minister Ham Shichun met with Mr. Gu Xiaoren, the former State's new ambassador to the East and Chairman of the Commercial Federation at the Prime Minister's Office in Puren Port, and the two sides had a friendly conversation.
Also participating in the talks were Navy Minister Lang Shining, Director of the Policy Research Office of the National Academy of History Wanyan Wangli, and Foreign Minister all came to the West.
Hamshun first highly praised the historic contributions made by former Ambassador Hu to the development of relations between the two countries during his term of office, and welcomed the new ambassador to the appointment.
The two sides discussed many issues during the talks, including military trade cooperation, discussions on related situations in Sanxia, and the Treaty of Mutual Assistance for the Ocean.
Mr. Gu Xiaoren, the new ambassador to the East and the chairman of the Commercial Federation, said that he will be committed to maintaining bilateral relations, managing differences on the basis of mutual respect, deepening cooperation on the basis of mutual benefit, and jointly promoting the stable development of the First East relations.
Prime Minister Ham Shi Chun agreed and said that the two sides should strengthen communication and coordination, resolve differences through constructive dialogue, and avoid conflicts.
The two sides also unanimously condemned the damage caused by extremist organizations active in Puren Port to regional peace and stability, and will deepen cooperation in the security field to jointly combat extremist groups that are secretly formed by civil society.
Finally, Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Ham Shichun, also signed the "Tongyuan Friendship and Mutual Assistance Treaty" on behalf of Dongxialai Kingdom and Mr. Gu Xiaoren, the new ambassador to Dongdong and Chairman of the Commercial Federation.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Gu Xiaoren closed the newspaper and looked at Chen Qiudun, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Have you read the newspaper?"
Chen Qiu turned his head and nodded and said, "Look."
"What do you think?" Gu Xiaoren asked with a smile.
"I don't think of anything." Chen Qiudun shook his head and said, "But, that's at home?"
"Don't worry about Him." Gu Xiaoren said with a smile: "Anyway, most of us will live in the embassy in the future, so just think that He is helping us take care of our family. After all, it is not common for a great king to keep a family."
What Gu Xiaoren mentioned is naturally the true king of Light Thunder Abyss, the Starry Palace Majesty dressed in Dunhuang style.
The Maharaja moved into the villa on Xuanwu Road and was responsible for guarding the immature "door". In fact, it was a certain spatial variant. The situation where the Maharaja was stationed in other countries was naturally the result of negotiations with the Puren Port authorities. Otherwise, what is the so-called "Original East Friendship and Mutual Assistance Treaty" for?
The news released by the talks between the two sides is only superficial, and a sensitive topic will naturally not be brought to light, but the distribution of relevant interests and the ownership rights of the immature "door" have long been agreed upon.
The problem here is by no means what Gu Xiaoren and Xian Shichun can decide. It is necessary to obtain the consent of the major sects behind both sides before relevant agreements can be reached.
Moreover, the real negotiation and issue were signed by Zhenjun Yu Gong and Grandma Lantai in person, and the decision-making level behind both sides nodded. Only in this way can the signed treaty represent the relevant will of the two countries.
But it is a good thing for Gu Xiaoren to have an extra magistrate in Puren Port who has a close relationship with the original country. If any problem arises, it will be a powerful helper. After all, the internal interior of Puren Port is not calm, let alone a dragon king who may be reincarnated.
"Ambassador, the embassy is here." Yu Baizhou, who was sitting in the cab, reminded Gu Xiaoren.
The latter turned his head slightly and indeed saw dense figures standing on the street in front of him. Behind those figures was the building complex of the former embassy in the East.
The car stopped on the side of the road in the building complex, and before Yu Baizhou got off, someone had already come up and opened the car door.
"Ambassador Gu!" A middle-aged man with gray hair and beard appeared in front of him.
"Ambassador Hu?" Gu Xiaoren quickly got out of the car and shook hands cordially with Hu Youde.
Behind Ambassador Hu are densely packed with embassy staff. Obviously, the number of staff in the embassy in the East is still above the embassy in Yun.
Hu Youde enthusiastically introduced the relevant personnel of the embassy to Gu Xiaoren: "This is Zhu Jingwen, the government counselor."
"Ambassador Gu!" Zhu Jingwen stepped forward and stretched out his hands, and Gu Xiaoren also responded in a familiar way.
"Counselor Zhu."
Hu Youdeyou pointed to the next person and said: "This is a business counselor..."
"Ambassador Gu!"
When Gu Xiaoren shook hands with the other party, there were naturally relevant staff members introducing the identities of Chen Qiudun and Yu Baizhou.
The two of them served as military officers and deputy military officers in the embassy.
Naturally, diplomats from the embassy took the initiative to come forward to talk.
"Officer Chen Wu, I am Zhu Jingwen!"
"Chen Qiudun."
Both sides introduced one by one that in addition to the six counselors in charge of government affairs, business, economy, culture, education and other matters, there are also relevant staff from the Military Attendant Office, such as four deputy military officers.
However, the former military officer of the former embassy in the East was missing.
Hu Youde glanced at him, couldn't help frowning, and called the staff of the Military Attendant Office to ask: "Where is Military Attachment Zheng?"
"Uh, I informed Mr. Zheng in the morning." The staff of the military officers muttered quietly while tiptoing to scan the crowd, as if this would be the case.
Hu Youde glared in his eyes and said, "Don't you go and look for it?"
The staff trotted away, and Hu Youde looked at his back and shook his head slightly.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, in the auditorium of the former embassy in the East, the new ambassador to the East, Gu Xiaoren, delivered a speech and spoke. Finally, he handed over the spot with Ambassador Hu. After the handover, Ambassador Hu will continue to live in the embassy's family area, waiting for the former country to send legendary creatures to other countries in May to send him to other countries for office.
"Ambassador." The head of the office responsible for administrative management handed over a thick list of Gu Xiaoren sitting in the office: "This is the relevant archives of administrative personnel, including financial accountants, translators, private secretaries, document administrators, document clerks, assistants, purchasers, drivers, technicians, cleaners, waiters, chefs, gardeners, etc., as well as radio operators responsible for confidential communications, domestic contacts, decryptors, etc.."
The staff of the embassy are mainly divided into three categories, namely diplomatic officials, administrative affairs and technical staff and local employees.
Minister, minister, counselor, counselor, first-class secretary, second-class secretary, third-class secretary, attendant, military officer and other officials, enjoy diplomatic privileges for diplomatic personnel.
Although administrative affairs and technical staff do not have this right, they are still an indispensable part of the embassy.
As for local employees, they are more familiar with the local situation and language than diplomats sent from foreign countries, and are often more efficient than diplomats sent when handling various miscellaneous matters in administrative work.
All morning, Gu Xiaoren was familiar with the relevant work in the office, and at least he had to understand the personnel arrangements of the embassy thoroughly.
The head of the office responsible for administrative management also asked Gu Xiaoren whether to choose a private secretary, but Gu Xiaoren thought about it and temporarily rejected it, and only asked the staff of the Archives Office to transfer files of some diplomatic personnel with the title of secretary.
Because according to the relevant regulations of the former National Literary House, senior diplomats such as ambassadors must be equipped with two secretaries, one is the private secretary responsible for private living, and the other is the administrative secretary responsible for internal work of the embassy. However, the last type of secretary is selected among diplomats with the title of secretary.
Diplomats with first, second and third-class secretaries are different from those in secretarial work. They are business-level officials sent by the government, often responsible for important business affairs, or serve as the head of a certain department, and handle some political or transactional negotiations to the outside world.
Naturally, the importance of this position is self-evident. It is almost the ambassador's mouth, nose and hands. It must be selected first so that he can quickly grasp the relevant things of the embassy and political interactions such as external contacts.
The Archives Department sent four staff members and brought in several stacks of personnel files, a total of 117 copies.
Looking at the sweaty look of these staff members, Gu Xiaoren frowned.
"Who is the person in charge of the Archives Office?" he asked at the person in charge of the office.
"Uh." The office head was stunned for a moment, but he lowered his head and replied: "It is the first-class secretary, Secretary Satoshi Fu."
"I understand. You all go down." Gu Xiaoren waved his hand expressionlessly.
"yes."
The office head turned around and left, but he probably knew that the secretary of Pu Satomoto, should have been "remembered" by Ambassador Gu.
The new ambassador needs some diplomatic personnel files with the title of secretary to select suitable candidates for administrative secretaries. Logically speaking, the Archives Office will screen out files of some diplomatic personnel who have already served in important positions or those who are not suitable for serving as administrative secretaries in advance, and then take some qualified files over.
However, the Archives Department brought all the files of diplomats with the title of secretary. Just like the piles of personnel files in front of you, you can't finish them even if you have a day and a night. As the head of the department head of the first-class secretary, Pu Satoshi's sense of politics cannot be so insensitive. So, the problem here is self-evident.
This is also the reason why Gu Xiaoren is not keen on politics, because no matter where he is, there are always those mundane things that are irrelevant to you. After all, there are worlds where there are people!
There are always some guys who are blindfolded by lard and can't see clearly what they are provoking.
It seems that he has to find a guy who is happy to filter out some aspects of the "dirt". He has no time to play a childish game with some guys.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoren waved his hand directly and used divination techniques to suck a copy of those large stacks of personnel files.
He pressed the executive button, and then the head of the office who had left before pushed the door and walked in.
"ambassador."
"Ten minutes later, I called this person to my office." Gu Xiaoren still put the file on the desk, then took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and said, "At noon, I instantly asked Counselor Zhu to have dinner together in the cafeteria."
"Uh, the cafeteria?" The office head was stunned.
"Is there any problem?" Gu Xiaoren looked up at him.
"No."
The office head lowered his head and left, but just as he pushed the door open, Chen Qiudun's figure appeared at the gate.
"Officer Chen."
"Um."
Chen Qiu suddenly turned his body sideways and asked the man to leave first, then he knocked on the door and entered the office amid Gu Xiaoren's response.
"ambassador."
"Sit third brother, there are no outsiders here." Gu Xiaoren pointed to the chair on the desk and continued to ask: "How is the situation in the military officer?"
Chen Qiudun shook his head: "Not optimistic."
Gu Xiaoren raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "There are many problems?"
"There should be many problems found at present." Chen Qiudun responded: "And, Zheng Youming is gone."
Zheng Youming is the former military officer of the Embassy Military Attendant Office, and Chen Qiudun took over his position. Moreover, I learned from Dai Jinan's maid before that this guy may have a big problem.
Gu Xiaoren sat on the chair and gently tapped his fingers on the table: "Zheng Youming doesn't care about him first. After all, he has stepped down, so he will sort out the internal work first and then talk about it. Moreover, I don't know much about administration and major departments yet, but just from the actions of the archives department, there are more or less problems."
Chen Qiu thought for a while, then opened his mouth and said, "That Ambassador Hu?"
Gu Xiaoren waved his hand and said, "I have heard of Ambassador Hu's style of conduct. After all, he is a legend. Even if he knows some of the "dirty" things about the staff below, he may not have the idleness to care about, and it is probably not easy to deal with."
