C1766 An Arrogant Attitude(1)
The guard's reason almost made Zhou Hongyu vomit blood! He, a deputy bureau chief, actually wanted to make an appointment when he saw a Counsellor? He was truly speechless. It was so difficult to get a guard. Wouldn't the diplomats think more highly of him? Very quickly, they saw that the embassy's enthusiasm and happiness almost collapsed in an instant. Their investigation team actually couldn't even get past the embassy guards. It really made them a bit surprised.
Arrogance was what everyone felt the most at that moment. Even the gate guard was so awesome. What more the real officials inside? It seemed like this embassy really wasn't a place one could casually come into contact with. But then again, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, in another country, the embassy naturally has a unique advantage, and the staff here also have the right to be arrogant.
Not to mention, this embassy was a vice division leader, and there was a vice division leader living inside. In terms of rank, Zhou Hongyu was not on the same level, not to mention that he needed someone to do something.
What should he do? At this time, no one had any idea what to do. Make an appointment? Deputy Mayor Wang would never make an appointment at the deputy embassy for an investigation team from the Education Bureau, right? It was impossible for him to make an appointment even if he thought about it. Besides, Zhou Hongyu did not have the contact number of the embassy on hand. It was even more impossible for Deputy Mayor Wang to make another call for Deputy Mayor Wang to make contact. For a moment, no one seemed to have made a mistake.
Fann Binn looked at these people who stood there stupidly, and slightly narrowed his eyes in the direction of the main door. Without saying anything else, he stood up and walked in the direction of the guards. Yang Li saw him walk away without making a sound. She thought that Fann Binn was angry and wanted to use force. She could not help but be scared and quickly said, "Fann Binn? What are you doing? Don't do anything stupid!"
Zhou Hongyu also saw Fann Binn's actions. He was worried and said, "Mr. Fann, don't be impulsive. This is the embassy in Country R. The ambassador is a deputy minister. We can't afford to offend him..."
Before he could finish, Fann Binn had already arrived at the security. He looked at the gate guard who was sitting leisurely reading the newspaper and said with a smile. "Uncle, who is it? Is it someone from the South? Come, smoke a cigarette to relieve your fatigue."
The guard glanced at Fann Binn and did not make a sound. However, he still took the cigarette from the window. After lighting the cigarette, he waved at Fann Binn and said, "Young man, you are quite a customer. You came with them, right? Alright, I'll give you a word of advice after smoking your cigarette. Hurry up and contact your leader to make an appointment. The embassy is currently in a special period of time. No strangers are allowed to enter without an appointment, even if it's the H People. "
"Oh, has the investigation been so strict recently? It seems like the relationship between the two countries is really not good." Fann Binn expressed his understanding, but showed a trace of grievance and said, "But uncle, it is not easy for us to travel a long distance from H Country. We are not familiar with this place, can you help us think about it? If we don't have an appointment, we have already contacted the officials inside. Is there any way for us to be flexible enough to let us in? "
The guard glanced at Fann Binn, took a puff of his cigarette, and impatiently opened his mouth to refuse. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the thick paper bag in Fann Binn's hand, which he had reached into the glass window. A corner of the paper bag was revealed, and the edge of the stack of red and red Japanese notes was exposed. The guard swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Fann Binn was a smart man. The place where he stuffed the money was very hidden. The external camera could only reach his side, but the security camera in the guard room happened to be in a blind spot. This was also the reason why Fann Binn chose to stuff the paper bag through the window instead of the door.
"Don't worry uncle, this is a blind spot." As soon as Fann Binn finished speaking, the guard looked around a few times and quickly stuffed the money into his pocket. This action was skillful and nimble. It could be seen that this fellow had definitely received bribes more than once.
As the saying goes, if you eat a person's mouth short, you will be soft-hearted. The guard had received benefits from Fann Binn. There was finally a slight difference in his attitude from before. He coughed a few times. He whispered to him, "Young man, tell me specifically who you are looking for. Then why are you looking for him? I'll think of a way to see if I can report to them. But if I refuse to meet you directly, then I really can't do anything about it. "
"Okay, thank you first." Fann Binn nodded and said, "We are looking for the Minister Counsellor with the surname of Zhan in the embassy. We want to know more about the matter of a group of friendly university students in Beihai City being detained illegally by Country R. Uncle, please help us. "
" Oh? It's like this... Sure, I'll call him right now and ask him." The phrase 'money makes the devil push the millstone' was naturally very appropriate for this guard. Looking at his enthusiastic and proactive manner, it was like heaven and earth compared to his cold face just now.
As the saying goes, it's easy for the King of Hell to deal with ghosts, but it's better to deal with the county officials now. The best way to deal with this kind of clown was to give some small profits, so naturally it would be twice the result with half the effort.
Deputy Director-general Zhou and these team members were used to staying in the mechanisms. Usually, it was others who begged them. How would they know this kind of method of begging people to do things? Fann Binn's way of doing things was undoubtedly the best way. Using a little bit of money could increase the efficiency of his work. Why not let them enter the embassy smoothly?
Therefore, this person must know how to be flexible. The cruel reality is right in front of them, sometimes it doesn't change. He wouldn't be able to avoid this hurdle. Just like now, after the guard made a phone call... He took the initiative to speak to Fann Binn, "Young man, I've asked for you. Counselor Zhan's secretary said that there was indeed such a thing. Beihai City has already informed you in advance and asked you to go in first!"
"Really? Thank you so much, uncle." Fann Binn smiled and put a packet of expensive cigarettes on the table. "You spend most of your time overseas. It's hard to smoke cigarettes in the country, right? Take this packet of cigarettes and smoke it. Thank you for your help. "
"Hehe, then I won't be polite. If you need anything, just come to me." The guard continued to take Fann Binn's cigarettes with a smile. Then, he took the initiative to open the electric door on the side of the embassy. He smiled and said, "Go in quickly. Don't delay business."
Fann Binn smiled and said goodbye to him. After Zhou Hongyu, Yang Li, and the others were stunned, he waved at them. He took the lead and walked into the embassy. The other members of the investigation team finally reacted. They hurriedly followed Fann Binn into the embassy. At this time, Yang Li ran to his side and said in surprise, "Fann Binn... You, how did you deal with that troublesome guard? Why did he take the initiative to open the door for you and let us in?"
" Hehe, I just gave him a packet of cigarettes and a red packet. It's that simple. " Fann Binn looked at Yang Li and said loudly, "It's not that I'm talking to you guys. Since we are alone outside, there are too many ghosts and devils. Why don't these troublesome little ghosts know how to be flexible? What about giving them some benefits? Sometimes, just a little bit of money could settle a lot of things. You guys have to learn a little."
After hearing Fann Binn's words, the members of the investigation team started whispering. Obviously, in their eyes, such behavior was no different from bribery.
Zhou Hongyu frowned and thought for a while. Then he nodded and said, "Mr. Fann is right. If we don't change the method, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything in Country R. We have to use special methods in times of emergency. Remember, in the future. If you can use money to buy things up, remember to use your brain. Mr. Fann, how much did you pay the guard just now? I'll remember to return it to you when I get back."
Fann Binn saw Zhou Hongyu's serious attitude and did not seem like he was joking, so he nodded and said. " Anyway, you can reimburse me with public funds. It's not right to ask me to pay privately. You can give it back to me. I just gave the guard the Japanese currency I exchanged yesterday. I didn't even touch it with a paper bag. If converted to RMB, it should be around twenty to thirty thousand."
"Ah?" Zhou Hongyu was shocked when he heard that. He could not help but frown awkwardly. "Mr. Fann, I am not afraid of you making fun of me. I will give you money in the future... Can you not be too generous? If you continue to give me money like this, I'm afraid it won't happen many times. We'll run out of funds for our activities..."
Yang Li could not help but laugh, "Deputy Director-general Zhou, Mr. Fann is a rich man. We can't learn from his generosity. In the future, even if it's a red packet from the stronghold, I think we should show up and give it to him. If we don't have to pay for the red packet, we'll have to rely on Mr. Fann's help. "
Fann Binn smiled and didn't say anything. To him, as long as he taught them how to deal with these troublesome little ghosts, that would be their ultimate goal. How much money was stuffed into the red packet was naturally their business. Next time, he would not be bothered to look at other people's faces.
After the group entered the door, they quickly arrived at the embassy surrounded by green trees. This was a six-story office building. As soon as they entered, a staff member came to ask. Zhou Hongyu respectfully told him the purpose of this trip. Soon, under the lead of the staff member, the six people from the investigation team arrived at the Secretariat, which was located outside the Counsellor's Office on the fourth floor.
"The secretary was the first to walk to the door of the secretary-general's office. He knocked on the door and said gently, "Counselor Zhan, the people from the Education Bureau investigation team of Beihai City have arrived. Deputy Mayor Wang called a few days ago in Beihai City."
"I know. Invite them in." A deep male voice sounded in the office. The secretary then opened the door of the office. He whispered a few more things that Zhou Hongyu needed to pay attention to and asked them to pay more attention to them. Zhou Hongyu nodded respectfully, but Fann Binn did not seem to mind. Logically speaking, Zhou Hongyu could be considered a deputy director. He was basically on the same level as the Adviser, only slightly weaker in terms of power and ownership. However, when faced with this secretary, it was undoubtedly more than enough. But now... Why did it feel like this secretary was a leader? Why did this Zhou Hongyu grovel before him?
But thinking about it, Fann Binn felt relieved. Zhou Hongyu himself was an intellectual talent. As a teacher, he did not have the natural prestige of an official. Moreover, he was dedicated to his career, so his passion for power was not as strong. If he had not been promoted because of many political achievements, he would not have been aware of power at all.
To be honest, Zhou Hongyu could be considered a weirdo in the official circles. Furthermore, he was currently working overseas. He was not familiar with the place, so it was understandable for him to be more careful with his words and actions.
