rebirth of change

The appointment ceremony was held in the solemn Great Hall of the People. Originally, the appointment ceremony only required a solemn and simple procedure. Chen Kangjie issued a formal letter of appointment, and they just notified several media organizations in the capital to participate.

In the end, it was temporarily known that Wei Zhonghua would also participate in this ceremony. This is considered to be a strong support for the work of the IFRC on behalf of the Chinese government. The association is jointly responsible with the Beijing representative office of the Federation of Red Crescent Societies and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.The original venue for the ceremony was the Qianzhou Hall of the Great Hall, but now it has been temporarily changed to the [-]-square-meter Friendship Hall.It stands to reason that the chairman of the ifrc should come in person to reflect reciprocity, but this is a temporary change arrangement, and the time is too late, so the ifrc chairman can only send a warm thank you letter to express his feelings.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Kangjie entered through the north gate of the great hall, passed through the wind gate hall and the passage hall, and as soon as he entered the trading hall, he found that the atmosphere was very thick.Under the bright pillars and pilasters inlaid with pink marble, it has been divided into several areas.And each area is already full of people, judging from the clothes and the skin color and state of those people, they can be divided into several groups.There are representatives of medical personnel, military personnel, elementary and middle school students, people from all walks of life, women's federations, youth league committees, and staff and officials of ifrc offices in Beijing.Behind the crowd in the middle is a large group of reporters, there are hundreds of people, including photographers, video reporters and some writers.

Seeing Chen Kangjie's appearance, everyone applauded unanimously as if seeing a leader, especially those primary and middle school students and medical staff representatives who were mainly nurses. They were even more enthusiastic, and everyone's face was filled with excitement. smile.

In order to attend this formal occasion today, and also to show respect and respect to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Chen Kangjie wore a black straight tunic suit with a Red Cross logo on his shoulders , to prove yourself as a member of the International Red Cross starting today.

Seeing so many people warmly welcoming him, Chen Kangjie hurriedly bowed and waved humbly, with a bright smile on his face.When Chen Kangjie is not smiling, his face shows a kind of coolness and sternness. When he smiles, people can clearly feel his kindness and sunshine.In order not to affect Chen Kangjie's limelight, the staff who led him in hurriedly and consciously spread out. This is the basic quality they were trained during the training.

From a long distance, the ifrc chief representative in China accompanied the vice chairman of the ifrc, Mr. Bradbury, and walked towards Chen Kangjie. There were many people behind and beside them, including translators and The secretary, as well as the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the head of the Chinese Red Cross Society.

One of the biggest advantages of these foreigners getting along with Chen Kangjie is that they generally can communicate with Chen Kangjie normally without the help of a translator.For example, this Mr. Christopher is French, he speaks French, and the chief representative of ifrc in Beijing is a Venezuelan, he can only speak Spanish and basic English, so an interesting scene happened, the two of them can communicate with Chen Kangjie It's smooth, but they need the help of translators to communicate with each other.

The French are considered to be relatively poor in foreign language mastery among European countries. In a European language ability census, France got the bottom No.2.This may be due to their self-confidence and pride in their own language, so under normal circumstances the French are not very good at learning other foreign languages.Celebrities, including some French presidents, have poor foreign language proficiency.For example, once the President of the United States was elected, the President of France added the word "friendly" in front of the signature in the congratulatory message to the President of the United States, but in fact there is no such politeness in English.It turned out to be quite a joke.Therefore, in public places, if a Frenchman is not confident in his foreign language level, he would rather choose to speak his mother tongue than simplify the communication procedure and communicate in a foreign language.

"Long, hello, hello, I'm very glad that you can accept our invitation to be the first goodwill ambassador in our history." Bradbury, who was full of white hair, warmly extended his right hand first.

Before Chen Kangjie waited for the translator to organize the translation language, he had already answered the conversation in French while extending his right hand, "Thank you for giving me this honor. This is my encouragement and new appointment. I am very happy."

While Chen Kangjie was talking with Bradbury, the foreign language interpreter in charge of French could only stand beside the chief representative of IFRC in Beijing, explaining in a low voice what the two of them meant.

"I was really surprised to see you in person. You are so young, so energetic, and so sunny. Most importantly, you are a star with a truly humanitarian heart. Your long fund helps us A lot of meaningful rescue activities have been carried out." Bradbury smiled, and the wrinkles on his forehead were still shaking, which seemed very funny.

Chen Kangjie is a little happy that people can praise him face to face, at least the good deeds he has done can be seen by others, and it also proves that Lacier's working method is relatively correct. To do charity with sincerity, sometimes it is as outstanding as ifrc Reputable agency cooperation and a relatively good choice.

"Thank you for your praise. I think this is what I should do. Everyone who cares about human beings should do what they can. Maybe we are not doing well enough, and I will continue to work hard in the future." Chen Kangjie responded politely, in fact, others couldn't detect Chen Kangjie's thoughts, but he was actually a little bit ashamed.

After exchanging pleasantries with Bradbury, Chen Kangjie talked with the chief representative again. The chief representative knew that Chen Kangjie knew Spanish, so he chose his native language, which is much more proficient—Spanish.Now it was the turn of a white boy who knew Spanish and French to stand beside Bradbury and explain to him the conversation between Chen Kangjie and the chief representative.

After a simple communication, Chen Kangjie and the two stood in the center of the hall for media reporters to take pictures. Chen Kangjie was in the middle, and the two foreigners stood on both sides.

By this time, the appointment ceremony could not start because Wei Zhonghua had not yet arrived.As a social etiquette, Wei Zhonghua has the highest status, so he has to be the last to be present, and the ceremony cannot start until he arrives.Fortunately, there was a small lounge on the side of the social hall. Chen Kangjie and the others could enter the lounge and continue their conversation while waiting for Wei Zhonghua's arrival.

More than ten minutes later, when Chen Kangjie was talking happily with the two humanitarian professionals, the staff of the Great Hall of the People came in and told them that the motorcade of Chief No. [-] had arrived at the north gate of the Great Hall.

In fact, the distance from Xihua Gate to the Great Hall of the People is very short. Before his rebirth, Chen Kangjie walked this distance when he was on a business trip to the capital, and it took half an hour to wander around.It's just that due to diplomatic etiquette and self-preservation of identity, Wei Zhonghua must wait for everyone else to arrive before arriving.

Now that Wei Zhonghua has arrived, Chen Kangjie and the others can only end their pleasant conversation, get up and go to the door to greet them, which is also the politeness required in formal occasions.

Under the watchful eyes of the sitting representatives, Chen Kangjie and the others stepped diagonally across the trading floor and walked towards the door.It's just that the notification from the staff was a bit late. As soon as Chen Kangjie and the others walked through the hall, they saw Wei Zhonghua's figure had already arrived at the Fengmen Hall.

Followed by a group of staff, the three quickened their pace, and finally met Wei Zhonghua surrounded by a large group of people at the entrance of the hall.

Wei Zhonghua appeared to be in good spirits today, with his hair combed meticulously, and the heavy smile on his face made him look less like an old man in his seventies.Among Wei Zhonghua's entourage, Chen Kangjie also saw Huang Zhenhua's figure. After working in the central government, he seemed a little fatter.This may be due to the good care conditions and the lack of hard work at the grassroots level.

When two groups of people met, it was naturally a warm greeting and pleasantries. Everyone had to shake hands many times. It was the first time for Chen Kangjie to shake hands with Huang Zhenhua on such an occasion. Huang Zhenhua looked calmer.

"Little guy, why do I feel like we are being interviewed instead?" Holding Chen Kangjie's hand, Huang Zhenhua made a small joke in a soft voice.

Needless to say, it is indeed like.Chen Kangjie and the others stopped at the entrance of the hall. Instead, Wei Zhonghua led Huang Zhenhua and a large group of senior officials in blue and black suits to file in from the outside. It really looked like Chen Kangjie and the others were receiving a certain delegation.

"It's the same between us who is with whom and who we are interviewing. Why is it so bureaucratic?" Since Huang Zhenhua is interested in joking, Chen Kangjie doesn't hide it, he is also a master of teasing.

Huang Zhenhua choked on Chen Kangjie's ridicule, but fortunately there were still people behind who wanted to shake hands with Chen Kangjie.Seeing the embarrassment of Huang Zhenhua leaving, Chen Kangjie couldn't stop snickering.

In the lobby, everyone did not stop much, that is, just exchanged pleasantries and greetings.Now that Wei Zhonghua is here, the ceremony can begin. There is still a lot of work for the big leader, such as holding a short formal interview and meeting with Bradbury and so on.
