C37 Chapter 37
The two countries' medical and hygiene agreement was quickly signed.
President Daru did not participate in the signing ceremony. I originally wanted to invite Ambassador Juhua to sign it. Juhua wants to return to China for a meeting. Since Juhua can't come, I won't insist on letting President Daru participate.
The signing ceremony will still be held in the meeting room in the government office. There are roughly two forms of signing, one is in person, and the other is in person. The other was to sign separately. Signing separately, both parties could avoid meeting each other. The time and place were relatively random, and they were decided by each person. Don't ask for synchronization. As long as you sign on the document, He would then give the other party an exchange of signatures, and the procedure would be completed. Generally speaking, Important documents still needed to be signed in person, and it would appear to be formal and grand. Signing the two countries' medical and hygiene cooperation agreement was a huge matter. After discussing it with Powers, I agreed unanimously that there must be a signature ceremony. We also agreed that. . . The signing ceremony and the handover ceremony would be held together.
The ceremony will be presided over by Spies, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Public Development and Fishery Affairs. Minister Divip, see you sign. Seeing the sign is the statement of the people in our circle, which is to be a witness. Witness the signature. Other than Divip, the people who attended the meeting last time were all here. Even Donkey Demi was here. This is something I didn't expect. That day at the meeting, I took back the standard question that Demi raised. I thought that he would be angry. He didn't come to attend the ceremony. I know that I gained the upper hand in that confrontation. In a diplomatic situation, Being able to beat the other, I'm naturally happy. But I'm also worried about offending him. To be honest, I don't want to offend Depei. In any case, Depei is Vice President Muni's assistant, I'm trying my best to fight for a job, I don't want to lose my tongue. . . Push him to the opposite side.
The appearance of the donkey face made me heave a sigh of relief. However, with my understanding of Demi, I vaguely have a feeling that this fellow won't stop.
Sure enough, after I finished speaking to Divip, Spies announced that I and Balls will represent their respective governments to sign the agreement. Just as I was about to pick up my pen and sign the agreement with Balls, Donkey Demi suddenly spoke.
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. Before signing, I would like to ask you another question. "
The gazes of everyone present had been focused on me and Bowers just now, and now they were all looking at him. No one said anything. The conference room was so quiet that the only thing that could be heard was @ @ # 19052E24 @ # 19 De0E07Kiskadee # @ @ # @ the chirps of birds. Kiskadee was a type of Overlord Caterpillar Bird, and when it chirped, its voice was sharp and long. Kiskadee was a hieroglyph word. It was the name of a bird, and also the cry of a bird.
"Damnit," I cursed in my heart, this guy really is up to something.
"I want to know, after the medical team comes, can we split up one or two people and go to another island?" DePi asked, his voice was soft and sharp. Like Kiskdee, "I think this one should also be written into the agreement. "
Silence. The Overlord Caterpillar Bird outside the window seemed to be chirping even louder. The donkey's face was hard to understand and did not know the rules. It was also self-righteous and often did not play according to common sense. This time was no exception. However, The questions asked by Donkey Depei were too detailed, so there was no need to include the agreement between the two parties. When he said this, On the contrary, I have an idea. I know what Depei was thinking. He wanted to send the medical team to different islands. To win the hearts of the people, to vote for Vice President Munila.
I can't speak, the others don't dare to speak. According to the rules of the official field, only Divip has the right to break the awkward situation.
"I don't think that's necessary. " After a moment of silence, Depp finally opened his mouth. "The medical team is a whole. I think it's better not to separate them. "
"It's like this, Mr. Depei. " As soon as Depp spoke, Spies hurriedly explained, "We also wanted to separate the medical team, but if we split up, the logistical support would not be able to keep up. "
"What would be the problem with the logistical support?" Depei asked.
"This. . . " Spies was at a loss for words.
"Minister, can I say something?" I can now, and I should say something.
"Please, Mr. Agent, please," said Divip. It could be seen that. . . At this moment, Depp couldn't wait for me to come out and save the place.
"Thank you, thank you, Minister. I would like to make a suggestion," I said, "What Dr. Depei said just now was that he wanted the medical team to do their job better. The medical team, Objectively speaking, it is indeed very difficult to separate them. Other things aside, There were a total of five of them, and one of them was a translator. If they were separated, the translator would not be able to split up. There was no translator. Doctors would not be able to communicate with the patient, and they would not be able to see the illness. However, Department Director Depei suggested a very good idea. I suggest that when the medical team arrives, We can consider arranging for them to patrol the various islands at the appropriate time. Provide medical services to the people of the other islands. This is one of my suggestions. I wonder if it's feasible? "
Divip looked at Balls and Spies. Seeing that they were all nodding, he turned around and said to Spiel," Dr. Spiel, I think this is a good suggestion. What do you think? "
"This is a compromise, but it can basically solve my concern. " Depei reluctantly accepted my suggestion.
"Okay," Depp said, "let's continue. This one doesn't need to be written into the agreement, we can discuss it with Mr. Proxy. "
"Now, we'll ask Proxy Zhong and Permanent Secretary Balls to sign," Spies announced once again.
I looked at Balls, then at the flag on the table. There was another interlude. When they started discussing the arrangements for the ceremony, Balls suggested that the flag should not be placed on the table. I don't agree.
"The other parts can be saved, but the flag must not be small," I said.
"Welle, Mr. Proxy, I won't lie to you," Balls said honestly. "It's not that I want to save this part, it's just that we don't have a small national flag to sign. "
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I did," I said. Indeed, it couldn't be blamed on Balls and the others. We have the flags of almost all the countries in the world, big and small. There are all kinds of sizes that are suitable for different occasions. A small country like Gido can't do this. So, When I was a guest official, every time I visited with a delegation, We had to bring flags of different sizes with us, our own. . . From the other country. The official name for the signing ceremony is the table flag.
"Our, you have one too?" Balls asked in surprise.
"Yes, both countries have one," I said. More than a year ago, I accompanied Ambassador Juhua to Gido to sign an agreement. I was the one who brought the flag from Kibi. A while ago, I thought that I might need to sign a medical and hygiene agreement, so I asked my colleagues at Kibi's Embassy to send the flag over.
The flag I brought over is now on the table. Facing the flag, I solemnly wrote down my name on the document of the agreement, one stroke at a time. Zhong Liang. In this life, I have signed many signatures. This is the first time I have signed an official diplomatic document on behalf of the country.
The signing ceremony for the transfer of assets is held in an empty space in the government office. When I walked out of the office with Department Head Divip, the empty space was already filled with assistance assets, some medical equipment, consumables, and even some bikes. There were also a lot of people gathered, sitting in neat rows. Some of them were students. Clearly, this was specially arranged by Powers.
During the handover ceremony, I rode a bicycle. This was a segment that Powers had added up at the last minute. This was not on the original agenda. After speaking, the etiquette lady pushed the bicycle over. I took it. Now, I only need to hand the symbolic bicycle over to Divip, The ceremony is complete. But strangely, that bicycle seems to have a magical power of its own. It stuck to me, making me unwilling to let go for a long time.
"Mr. Agent, why don't you ride one round first?" Powers suddenly said to me.
"Ride a lap?" Balls' suggestion is exactly what I meant. I really want to ride in a circle.
"Right, you wouldn't say you forgot how to ride it, would you?" Balls teased.
I didn't say anything else. I got on the bicycle. I started to ride skillfully. The bicycle brought me back to China in an instant. Back to my daily life of cycling to work and getting off work, back to the days when I rode with Lu Shuqin and my son to the park on the weekend. That kind of life is already very, very far away from me, But the moment he got on the bicycle, he suddenly came back. Later on, I thought of that scene. I always felt that it was more like a dream. The moment I lied to my legs and got out of the car, that dream disappeared. It disappeared without a trace.
"Your Excellency, why don't you ride in a circle as well?" I finally regained my senses and passed the bicycle to Divip.
"No, no, I won't take it anymore," Depp quickly rejected.
"Let me try," Wang Yao said. Dewp looked at the direction of the sound. It was Donkey Face. Demi was really a busybody.
"Okay, then you try it," Divip said to Depei.
Depei went forward to take the bicycle, and just as he was about to step on it, The bicycle swayed and almost fell down along with the person and the bicycle. It caused everyone to burst into laughter. Fortunately, someone quickly helped him up to prevent the awkward situation from happening. Depei did not give up. He tried again. This time, Depei successfully got into the car. He steadily rode one round. Depei returned the bicycle to Divip. When he passed by me, Stop and say to me,
"Mr. Booster, this bicycle is still alright, but just like I said, what we hope the most is to receive your country's direct support. "
I smiled and didn't say anything. I understand what Demi means. What he said was even more direct support. It was a euphemistic way of putting it. To put it bluntly, it was to give cash. This is impossible for us to do. I have already explained the reason to Depei. There is no need to say anymore. This is also not the time to reason with him. I will not speak, and I will not continue. That already shows my attitude.
