All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 216 216. First Impression of Hong Kong Island

The three-day training on foreign affairs discipline was very tight, and the trainees needed to learn a lot. Even Yue Wenxuan, who had a wide range of knowledge, felt that he had gained a lot.

In addition to the gains in learning, the personnel who participated in the foreign affairs training have other gains.

On the first day of intensive training, the first thing to do is not to hold a centralized meeting, but to customize clothes collectively.

An old tailor specially came over to measure the body of all participants. All gay men will wear a Chinese tunic suit, a white shirt, and a pair of black leather shoes.

Custom-made clothes and leather shoes, of course, are not free, and have to be bought by individuals, but the advantage is that no receipts are required.

Cloth tickets are very tight in this era, and a small family can only make one suit of clothes for one person if they have saved up a year's worth of cloth tickets.

You can make a Chinese tunic suit and a white shirt without having to pay for a cloth ticket. For the trainees, this is simply pie in the sky, and everyone is very pleasantly surprised.

Clothes were made quickly, and everyone got their own clothes and shoes before the training ended.

The materials of the clothes are very good, and what is rare is that the fit is very close to the body. After trying them on, everyone feels that they fit well. This is much better than the ready-made clothes bought in the mall.

It is indeed the craftsmanship of an old tailor, and everyone is satisfied after trying it on.

The leather shoes are also made of very good materials, all of which are top-layer cowhide. If you buy leather shoes of this quality in the mall, it usually costs more than 20 yuan.

They only need to spend 14 yuan to buy leather shoes, and they don't need leather shoe tickets.

Before arriving on Hong Kong Island, just the invisible benefits of clothing and shoes have already made everyone smile.

After another four days of intense preparation, it finally came to the day when the delegation set off.

All matters related to the visit are highly confidential. Although Yue Wenxuan is a member of the visiting group, he does not know what the main purpose of the visit is. What he knows is limited to his own mission.

The composition of the personnel for this visit is relatively complicated. First of all, the personnel of the Foreign Affairs Bureau are indispensable, followed by the personnel of various departments in Shanghai, and there are performers like Yue Wenxuan.

There must be other personnel, but Yue Wenxuan is not sure which aspect they are responsible for. He is not so curious, let alone ask random questions.

The only ones he could contact at will were five other performers, two of whom were also from Shanghai, and the other three were from all over the country, all of whom were very famous performing artists in China.

Among the six of them, only two are solo performers, and the other four are all drama actors, including Peking Opera actors and Huangmei Opera actors.

Also from Shanghai, Yue Wenxuan was naturally closer to the two Peking Opera actors from Shanghai.

These two Peking opera actors are not very old, and they look like they are in their early thirties. The name of the male singer is Li Tianqun, and the old student's name is Wang Zhejun.

Three days of foreign affairs training, eating and living together, the age difference is not too big, Yue Wenxuan has already become familiar with the two.

When choosing seats on the plane, the three naturally sat next to each other.

Yue Wenxuan said in a low voice: "This time to perform in Hong Kong Island, the opportunity is so rare, I never thought that I would be selected.

It was pure luck that I got a spot.I originally thought that the other actors who went to Hong Kong Island to perform were some old artists, but I didn’t expect that they were all young people. I don’t think any of them are over 40 years old, which is quite strange. "

Li Tianqun said in a low voice: "I just heard about this matter yesterday, and I finally understand the ins and outs of the matter.

Those of us who can go to Hong Kong Island to perform are purely lucky.

If it weren't for Hong Kong Island's special request to invite young performing artists to perform, if seniority is really a matter of seniority, there would be no such thing as us young people. "

"I'm also wondering, why all of us actors who went to Hong Kong Island are so young, and none of them are over 40 years old. So that's what happened." Wang Zhejun suddenly realized.

It was only then that Yue Wenxuan realized that he was able to join the delegation. The leaders only valued him secondarily, and the special requirements from Hong Kong Island played a decisive role.

If it's really about seniority, even if he has a little impression in the minds of the leaders, he won't be able to get the spot for visiting performances.

This is true for him, and it is also true for the other young actors on this visit.

The three chatted quietly together, time passed quickly, and the plane arrived at Hong Kong Island Airport before noon.

Before disembarking from the plane, the leader once again reiterated the importance and seriousness of foreign affairs discipline, requiring all members of the visiting group to strictly abide by it.

The leader's tone was very strong, and the members of the visiting group kept these words firmly in their hearts, and no one dared to take foreign affairs discipline lightly.Even without repeated instructions from the leader, he would keep this matter in mind as a top priority and dare not make any mistakes.

After the members of the visiting group got off the plane one after another, Yue Wenxuan and other young actors stood at the back, silently watching the movements of the leaders in front, and at the same time quietly looking around at the scene around the airport.

There will be more than a dozen people who will pick up the plane at the airport in the future. The leaders who lead the team shook hands with these people one by one, looking very formal and grand.

But this scene has nothing to do with Yue Wenxuan and others. They don't need to do anything, they just need to follow silently.

After leaving the airport, everyone took a bus to the city.

Contrary to Yue Wenxuan's imagination, the location they stayed in was not a star hotel, but a residential building.

Whether it is out of confidentiality or to save money, the visiting group will not stay in star-rated hotels.

Compared to expensive star-rated hotels, this residential building is obviously a better choice, because the property rights of this building belong to the domestic office, and you can stay for free without additional costs.

There are a lot of rooms in this building, even if each person in the visiting group lives in a single room, there is no problem.

But leaders don't do that.

Although the security of this building is very strict, both doors are guarded by security guards, but for the sake of caution, even if it is on their own site, two people are arranged to live in one room, which plays a role of mutual supervision.

And the role of this supervision is not superficial, but responsibility and obligation.

Once there is a problem with the accommodation companion in the same room, the other person will be responsible.

During the visit, in order to prevent people from escaping from Hong Kong, the regulations are so unreasonable, regardless of personal understanding or not, they must be followed.

Yue Wenxuan was familiar with Li Tianqun and Wang Zhejun, and would prefer to live in the same dormitory with one of them.

But the leader didn't assign them this way, probably because Li Tianqun and Wang Zhejun were both Peking opera actors and both came from Shanghai, so they directly arranged them to live in a dormitory.

His other roommate is Xiong Jianhui, 37 years old, from Kyoto, who is a solo performer like him.

Of the six actors who accompanied the group on this visit, only two of them were solo performers, and it was reasonable to arrange the two of them in a dormitory.

After all, they have experienced three days of foreign affairs training together. Although the relationship between him and Xiong Jianhui is not as familiar as the two in Shanghai, it is not unfamiliar.

He has never heard Xiong Jianhui's singing, but he knows that he is a very famous bass singer, so he must have a very high singing level.

After putting away his luggage and washing up briefly, Yue Wenxuan looked at his watch. There was still an hour before lunch time. He asked boredly:

"Brother Hui, do you know what we have planned for these five days? We actors only have one performance in total, so we can't rehearse indoors every day, right?"

"As far as I know, at least one shopping trip will be arranged for us. There should also be a visit, but the specific itinerary is not clear.

In addition, at most, they can move around in the yard, and basically have no chance to get out of the gate. "

"It's a rare opportunity to go shopping, but unfortunately we only have [-] Hong Kong dollars each, so I'm afraid we can't buy much."

The [-] Hong Kong dollars that Yue Wenxuan mentioned is also one of the benefits for these visiting personnel. Each person can exchange up to [-] Hong Kong dollars for shopping on Hong Kong Island.

After all, it is not easy to come to Hong Kong Island once. Many people may only have such a chance in their lifetime. Considering this, the superiors specially opened a foreign currency exchange channel for the visitors, but the upper limit is only [-] Hong Kong dollars.

Although the exchange amount is very small and you can't buy many things, it's better than nothing, and the money is enough to buy some souvenirs.

Xiong Jianhui is quite content: "It's good to have a quota of [-] Hong Kong dollars. You don't need a ticket to buy things here. If you meet the right one, you can buy a lot of things with [-] Hong Kong dollars."

Yue Wenxuan had no objection to the fact that the quota was only [-] Hong Kong dollars. On the contrary, he felt that the superiors were quite humane.

For individuals, twenty Hong Kong dollars is really not much, but the country is more difficult, and all walks of life need foreign exchange too much.

In such a difficult situation, I was able to exchange [-] Hong Kong dollars for the visiting group. Everyone was warm in their hearts, and no one complained.

Today's lunch is the first meal of the visiting group after they come to Hong Kong. In order to entertain the visitors, the comrades of the Hong Kong Office made careful preparations, and the lunch was very rich.

At the same time, the comrades of the Hong Kong Office also held a small internal welcome ceremony.

Several important leaders gave brief speeches, and then it was time for everyone to enjoy delicious food.

For the vast majority of people present, today's lunch was indeed a delicious treat.

Although there is not a single luxurious dish on the dinner table, the twelve dishes on each table are also local specialties.

When ten people at each table enjoy these twelve dishes, not only can everyone be full, but they can also eat well.

The first meal upon arrival on Hong Kong Island left an extremely deep impression on all visitors, and this meal is enough to be remembered by many for years.

After lunch, everyone was told not to go out, at most they could only take a walk in the yard.

Tonight, the Hong Kong side will hold a formal dinner to welcome the visiting delegation to Hong Kong.This is a very formal occasion, in order to avoid anyone making a fool of yourself at the banquet, there will be a brief training on precautions for attending a banquet in the afternoon, and everyone must attend.

The training time is set at three o'clock. Before that, everyone can move freely.

Finally came to Hong Kong Island. Of course, everyone didn't want to stay in the house, but wanted to take a look at the bustling scene of Hong Kong Island.Although you can't go out of the compound, the entrance of the compound is a lively street. Standing at the door and looking at the street view, you can also appreciate the unique style of a corner of Hong Kong Island.

For those who came to Hong Kong Island for the first time, after lunch, they all chose to take a stroll in the courtyard.

Everyone is a well-educated person, and they will not crowd at the door to see the scenery. There are at most three or five people standing at the door at the same time. After these people leave, other people will fill their seats.

After Yue Wenxuan and Xiong Jianhui lived in the same dormitory, their relationship improved significantly. The original small group of three in Shanghai added a person from Kyoto.

The four of them walked around the yard talking and laughing, pointing at the tall buildings in the distance and commenting from time to time.

When they got near the gate, the five people occupying the position of the gate happened to step away, and the four of them speeded up their pace at the same time, and walked towards the gate.

Standing at the gate, pedestrians passing by on the street happened to pass by the gate. What impressed them most was the young lady's attire.

A modern girl about 20 years old just passed by the door, Li Tianqun whispered in surprise:
"My dear! Are Hong Kong people so open to wearing such little clothes in public?
If this is in our magical city, if you dare to wear such little clothes on the street, even if you are not arrested, you will be scolded to death by the common people. "

From Yue Wenxuan's point of view, this modern girl's attire is very normal, nothing more than a tighter dress, a slightly lower collar opening, and a slightly shorter hem, especially highlighting her figure.

But in the eyes of Li Tianqun and others, it was unacceptable.

First of all, such tight clothes make them feel dazzling.The dressing styles of domestic ladies are all plump and fat. Even if they are particularly particular, they only dare to tuck in their waists a little. How dare they wear such tight clothes.

The second unbearable point is that the collar opening is too low.Although such an opening did not expose any sensitive parts, the exposure of a large piece of snow-white skin under the neck was still very uncomfortable.

What's more, the skirt is too short, it doesn't even reach the knees, and the two snow-white thighs are exposed like this, which can almost blind a few people's eyes.

Li Tianqun was not the only one who held the same opinion. Except for Yue Wenxuan, several people had the same opinion and expressed their opinions one after another. They gave extremely severe criticism to this modern girl's overly revealing attire.

Of course, the voices of a few people are very small, so there is no need to worry that passers-by will hear them.

Although Yue Wenxuan felt that the dress of this modern girl was normal, he would not say it out loud.

Even though it's just a whisper, it's also politically correct.If he dared to hold an objection, he would definitely become an outlier in the eyes of several people, and maybe it would make people feel vigilant.

The discussion about the girl's dress was just a small episode. After passing by all kinds of pedestrians on the street, everyone knew that the girl's dress was normal in Hong Kong Island, because there were so many young women in this kind of dress.
