Chapter 45: The Treaty and the Arrival of Old People
When Dong Youren, the special envoy of the Republic's government and Deputy Foreign Minister, visited Myanmar, Iris had left Yangon.
Deputy Minister Dong's itinerary lasted for four days, and met with Myanmar's head of state Wu Dan. Although the itinerary was short, the information brought was rich. In an interview with foreign media, Minister Dong reiterated China's principled position on the Myanmar issue, supported the efforts of the Myanmar government and people to achieve political reconciliation and improve people's lives, and hoped that Myanmar would properly resolve the current problems through consultation and accelerate the domestic democratic process. China also hopes that the international community will provide positive and constructive assistance to Myanmar in accordance with the norms of international relations. China sincerely hopes that Myanmar will be politically stable, economic development, and achieve long-term stability as soon as possible.
At the same time, Vice Minister Dong brought a handwritten letter from the Prime Minister of the Republic Government and invited Wu Dan to visit China.
The day before returning to China, Vice Minister Dong and Lu Zheng had a secret conversation in the study for three hours, but no one knew what they were talking about.
Half a month later, Wu Dan led a Myanmar government delegation to visit Beijing.
In the evening, Lu Zheng, who had been paying close attention to the call from Beijing, received an unexpected call. Bai Su'e called, and there was a hint of restraint in her delicate and crisp voice, "Uncle, do you have time now?" Since Bai Su'e entered society, she knew more and more about the position of the uncle who had been to school for her in society over the years. Therefore, when she faced Lu Zheng, she seemed to be increasingly unable to let go.
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Are you in Yangon?" I think Bai Su'e wouldn't call international long distance for herself for no reason. For ordinary things, just ask Wei Xiangxiu for help. I think she can't cause any major trouble, so most of them are in Yangon and I have always promised to take her to play in Myanmar, but it has not been realized.
"Yes, Xiaoshuang and I are both here. She is on summer vacation and I happen to have two half-price air tickets to Myanmar, so I came to play with her."
Listening to Bai Su'e's timid voice, Lu Zheng smiled: "Oh, we little moths have grown our skills and can get discounted air tickets." There is no competition for domestic airlines nowadays, half-price air tickets are extremely discounted.
Bai Su'e whispered: "No, it's because I've finished my internship period and signed a contract with Ukrainian Airlines. On Air China, the flight attendant's eldest sister, who has been taking me with my flight attendant, and the hotel consumption coupons. We have all interns."
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and thought, it wasn't. In a blink of an eye, Bai Su'e had been studying as a flight attendant for three years, and time passed so quickly.
"It's a formal flight attendant, and I'm going to celebrate. Xiaoshuang is here, but I haven't seen her for a long time. Where are you now? I'll go there." After hearing that the two little girls were coming to Yangon, Lu Zheng couldn't help feeling a little excited.
More than half an hour later, Lu Zheng came to the Royal Lake Hotel where Bai Su'e and Bai Xiaoshuang were. This hotel was rebuilt by the British Governor's Mansion in the past. At night, it was like a magnificent palace, which was magnificent.
Awang was waiting in the car downstairs, and Du Xiaohu followed Lu Zheng upstairs, but in the end he did not enter the room, but waited outside.
The living room in the suite is full of European style. When Lu Zheng saw the beautiful girl in cool black shiny clothes in the hall, he couldn't help but be surprised. Looking at her handsome eyebrows, she was undoubtedly Bai Xiaoshuang, but Bai Xiaoshuang, who had a delicate short hair, had a strong and tough atmosphere. She was no longer the little girl she recognized back then. Her graceful and slim figure added a bit of girlish sweetness to her tomboy.
Bai Su'e, wearing a white gauze skirt and small flower socks and light yellow leather shoes, looks like a Japanese-style beautiful girl, pure and soft, and a little charming, which is tempting.
At this time, two beautiful girls with different styles stood together, which was really pleasing to the eye, making people feel like they came into the picture.
"Brother" saw Lu Zheng, Bai Xiaoshuang smiled happily, her big eyes turned into cute crescent moons, and her smile was particularly beautiful and cute.
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, and after a while, he sighed and said, "You are all grown up." Bai Su'e immediately became a formal flight attendant. Bai Xiaoshuang has always heard Wei Xiangxiu talk about her situation. Now, she should be studying cell biology, following the best tutor in China, focusing on biopharmaceutical technology. If you don't want to go around, Xiaoshuang is still destined to be with medicine. This is also the arrangement of fate.
Lu Zheng raised the champagne in his hand and smiled, "Today, I will celebrate Xiao E, celebrating her about to start a new job, and you, Xiao Shuang, I heard that you are studying for a graduate course now, and you are more promising than your brother Zhengzi. Your brother Zhengzi is like your age, and he is still playing with mud."
Bai Su'e quickly found three cups, and Lu Zheng opened the champagne with a bang. Bai Su'e took it and poured wine. The orange liquid reflected her sweet face, like a dream.
Bai Xiaoshuang asked with concern: "Brother, are you quite busy? Has it delayed your work? Originally, I didn't ask Sister Su'e to call you."
Lu Zheng smiled. Xiaoshuang was already vaguely getting along with her like a little adult. If it were Bai Su'e, she wouldn't have chatted with her like a friend.
"It's nothing. You two come to Yangon together. I have to let go of anything, right? Speaking of which, it's been four or five years since you two sisters. Time flies so fast. I'm very happy to see you all grow up and have a bright future." Lu Zheng raised his champagne and gently clinked glasses with them, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Without you, Sister Su'e and I don't know what we are doing now." Bai Xiaoshuang lowered her head, as if she was a little sad.
Bai Su'e whispered, "Uncle... Brother, Xiaoshuang chats with me and always says she misses you. She doesn't look like me. I still like you. She hasn't seen you for more than two years..."
Before Bai Su'e finished speaking, Bai Xiaoshuang hurriedly pulled her arm and said, "Don't talk nonsense." But her eyes were a little red.
Looking at Xiaoshuang, his former ex-wife, with red eyes at the moment, Lu Zheng suddenly felt a little sad, as if he had returned to many years ago, when he forced the stubborn female doctor to sign the divorce agreement.
Lu Zheng turned his face away and didn't want to be affected by these emotions. His past and present life are different, right?
"Do you call me uncle or brother?" Lu Zheng stared at Bai Su'e, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart. The past has passed. I just hope that Xiaoshuang will not find a man like her bastard in the future and can live happily.
Bai Su'e drooped her head and whispered: "I, I don't know, Xiaoshuang is next to her, she calls you brother, if I call you uncle, it seems strange. If she is not here, I think you are my uncle again..."
Lu Zheng was amused and cried, and the faint sorrow in his heart was also diluted by this guy, "Will you do it, okay? All generations are messed up, and there is little brainpower."
Bai Su'e secretly stuck out her tongue and dared not speak.
"Brother, I know you are busy, and I am not ignorant, it's just that sometimes, I..." Bai Xiaoshuang's eyes were red and she couldn't continue.
Lu Zheng held the champagne and nodded slightly: "I understand, but no matter whether we meet frequently or not, in my heart, Xiaoshuang, you are my own sister, let's do it..." Lu Zheng raised the champagne and clinked glasses with them, saying, "I wish our family affection and friendship forever."
Bai Su'e and Bai Xiaoshuang both had their faces red and dropped the champagne, just like Lu Zheng's words just now were a remarkable oath.
Especially Bai Su'e, her little face looked like a blooming flower.
Lu Zheng drank the champagne in his glass in one breath, shook his head and said, "It's not satisfying."
Bai Su'e said, "There is Burmese wine in the freezer, will I go get it?" Her big eyes flashed and she looked at Lu Zheng's face.
Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "I'm happy today, have two drinks."
Bai Su'e ran to the refrigerator, picked out a bottle of light yellow wine from it, picked up a few bags of snacks containing Yu Guo and other snacks, took them back to the coffee table, poured the wine and dismantled the snacks, and was very busy.
Lu Zheng took a sip of the wine that Bai Su'e poured. It felt light and had no smell of wine. He frowned and said, "Is this wine?"
Bai Su'e hurriedly picked up the bottle and looked at it for a long time, and said, "It's wine written on it, isn't it?" She often flew to the Burmese line, so she naturally had to learn some simple Burmese language.
Lu Zheng said helplessly: "Is my words more useful than Burmese characters? Are you so uncertain?"
Bai Su'e didn't dare to say anything, Bai Xiaoshuang smiled: "Brother, your words are more useful than the imperial edict."
Lu Zheng glared at her: "You have learned to squeeze your brother Zhengzi now, right? Come on, tell me what skills have you learned in the past few years."
Drinking and chatting, Lu Zheng listened to Bai Xiaoshuang talking about her schooling and talking about the difficulties she encountered in her studies. He encouraged her a few words. After Bai Su'e said that after signing the contract with Ukraine, her basic salary was more than 1,000 yuan a month, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, it's higher than my salary, but you are not as good as Xiaoshuang, and you know how to make money, which is vulgar."
Then, Lu Zheng didn't know when he suddenly shook his head and woke up. The wine suddenly got up, and he didn't know when he fainted. It was like, as he was chatting, he knew nothing.
Lu Zheng wanted to raise his wrist to look at the watch, but suddenly felt a little heavy with his right arm. He looked around and was stunned. Bai Su'e leaned against her shoulder, her soft body seemed to have no weight, leaning against her body. The girl's fresh fragrance floated into her nose, while her charming little face was close at hand, with red cheeks flying, sweet and charming.
Lu Zheng was stunned for a while, slowly pulled out his arm, and his head seemed to be a little bit wood. After looking at the time, it was past eleven o'clock. Lu Zheng was stunned again. When he turned around and saw Bai Xiaoshuang lying on the other side of the sofa, his soft lying posture was soft. Under his black shirt, his small breast curves were revealed, which was extremely tempting. What made people's heart beat faster was that her snow-white little feet were stepping on her legs, and her crystal clear and cute little feet without any flaws were raised playfully, and the feeling of youth and tenderness came to her face.
Lu Zheng quickly turned his head, stood up slowly, wanted to go out, but hesitated for a moment, and called them softly: "Xiao Shuang, Xiao E..."
After screaming a few times, the two of them were not moving. After Lu Zheng got up, Bai Su'e was tilted on the sofa again. She developed faster than Xiaoshuang. Her posture curled on the sofa, and her slightly tender and delicate curves made people feel the urge to bleed from the nose.
Lu Zheng had no choice but to go to the bathroom to wash his face. Just as he was thinking of a way to wake them up, he moaned on the sofa, and Bai Su'e slowly sat up and looked around with sleepy eyes. It seemed that her immunity to alcohol was much stronger than Bai Xiaoshuang.
Lu Zheng waved to her: "Xiao E, come here, I'm leaving, you lock the door from inside."
Although she looked like she was sleeping in a daze, it was as Bai Xiaoshuang said. Lu Zheng's words were imperial edicts. She subconsciously followed Lu Zheng to the door. Lu Zheng went out of the door and heard a clatter inside. Bai Sue was locked, so she felt relieved.
Outside, Hu Zi was walking around bored.
Lu Zheng shook his head, "Myanmar rice wine, I won't drink it anymore."
Du Xiaohu smirked and went downstairs with Lu Zheng.
When he returned to the embassy, Lu Zheng had already woken up completely and looked at his watch. It was already past midnight.
"Go to the conference room." Lu Zheng patted Awang on the shoulder.
Recently, many embassy departments have been working all night long. At present, there should be a department on duty in the conference room.
When Lu Zheng entered the conference room on the first floor of the administrative building, he was shocked to find that there were a lot of people in the conference room today, including Lin Hanshen, Huo Yakun, Zhu Qiong, Wang Jiabin and others.
"Why are they all there?" Lu Zheng immediately guessed something, "Is there a telegram in Beijing?"
Yu Min in the conference room stood up slowly, and then Lin Hanshen took the lead and applauded slowly. Huo Yakun, Wang Guest, Zhu Qiong and other Yu Min all followed him to applaud. In addition, the applause became louder and louder.
Amid the warm applause, Lin Hanshen came to Lu Zheng and whispered: "Central calls to commend all the staff of our embassy. I heard that the big framework has been almost done. Tomorrow, Wu Dan will sign a contract with the General Secretary. Just like your idea, the treaty is called the China-Myanmar Good-Neighborly Friendship and Cooperation Treaty."
After Lu Zheng was promoted to ambassador, Lin Hanshen, the consul's counselor, was appointed as the director of the Political Department (political counselor) and became the deputy director of the embassy.
As for the diplomats in the conference room, including Lin Hanshen, all know that Lu Zheng, the young ambassador, was the hero behind the scenes to open up the diplomatic situation in Myanmar. Although no one knows how to use the method to gradually tilt the foreign policy of the Wu Dan government towards the republic. This should be a diplomatic secret from the superior.
But everyone knows that as the first country to sign a treaty of good-neighborliness and friendship with the Republic under the five basic diplomatic principles and guidelines, Myanmar's geographical location is so important that any diplomat in Myanmar will successfully add points in their diplomatic career.
A well-informed diplomat has received a message from the leaders of the Ministry that after the signing of the Sino-Myanmar Good-Neighborliness Friendship Cooperation Treaty, the Embassy in Myanmar will likely be upgraded to the Chief Level.
Although the treaty is very general and mainly explains the willingness of China and Myanmar to develop friendly and cooperative relations, the China-Myanmar railway connection matter will be proposed again in the framework agreement. If the China-Myanmar railway is directly connected, then China's strategic layout in Southeast Asia and South Asia will bring about qualitative changes.
Of course, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. It involves all aspects and many details need to be discussed, such as the difference in width of China-Myanmar railway tracks, such as the blockade of local forces, the reactions of India and Western countries, etc. I am afraid that the ground will not be broken within a few years, but the agreement is written into the treaty, which is already a huge breakthrough.
