351 Highest honors
Since the building of the presidential office is based on the first floor, the car that Chen Feng and Chu Wanchang took directly entered the palace from the return lane and steps of the main gate and went straight to the second floor.
The welcoming crowd led by Li Zhan was waiting at the gate on the second floor.
When Chen Feng got out of the car, Li Zhan was the first to greet him with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Chen, I haven't been far away, please forgive me."
βγ β
Li Zhan's posture can be said to be very low.
Chen Feng was more respectful in his previous life, and when he heard this, he hurriedly greeted him, holding one of Li Zhan's hands with both hands, and said respectfully: "Mr. Li Zhan is polite, I am already flattered to have Mr. Chu pick up the plane this time, not to mention that you are an elder, how can there be a reason to let the elders come to pick up the plane? β
Regarding Chen Feng's attitude, Li Zhan was very manyi, and nodded with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you are such a heroic figure who only comes out once in hundreds of years, I don't dare to look at you as a junior." β
"Are you a junior? I have admired Mr. Li for a long time. Just call me by my name. I'm really not used to you calling me sir. β
Li Zhan said along with the words: "Since you say so, I will call you by your name." β
Calling Mr. Chen Feng is obviously not very close, but if you call him by his name directly, you can obviously get closer.
Chen Feng immediately nodded: "It should be so." β
"Okay, Chen Feng, come over and I'll introduce you to a few of my colleagues. β
Li Zhan directly called Chen Feng by his name as he spoke, and began to introduce him to the people he was following this time.
This group of people are all important figures in the political arena of Baodao, but it is a pity that there is no Chen Chuyu.
Let's be honest.
Chen Feng really didn't want to know these people.
And they shook hands one by one.
It was recorded by the cameras and cameras that followed him all the time.
After shaking hands with these people one by one, Li Zhan warmly took Chen Feng's hand for a while and led him into the hall on the second floor.
I saw that the top of the hall towered about two meters high, the top of the column carved and finely carved, the style is bright, beautiful, the light can be seen in the granite floor, the integration of sophisticated architectural technology and artistic creation.
Climb up the Y-shaped ladder.
The bronze statue of Sun Guofu is high in the center of the Y-shaped ladder, and Chen shook hands with Li Zhan in front of this staircase to take a group photo.
After that, under the personal leadership of Li Zhan, he walked towards the third floor.
The third floor is the main place to receive guests, it adopts bright and dazzling blue in the color tone, and also presents an artistic style with both modern and abstract beauty~ in the decoration, in order to highlight the government's hope of attaching importance to creativity and actively creating a new atmosphere for the country.
A blue carpet symbolizing the ocean, with a dhow on the ceiling
For the design concept of lighting, there are standing lamps in the corners and corners that guide the direction and spatial meaning, and curtains with diamond-shaped textures of the Dawu people in Taiwan.
It symbolizes that the 23 million people of Baodao are all standing on the same boat and have the same destiny.
Welcome the rising sun, not afraid of hardships and dangers, forge ahead, unite as one, and pursue a better future and bright prospects.
The third floor is mainly divided into the Green Hall, the Qing Hall, the Red Hall and the Great Hall, and Li Zhan and his party took Chen Feng directly to the Great Hall.
The auditorium is a long rectangular large-span space, the ceiling is decorated into a gentle curved surface, there are extremely delicate and gorgeous ventilation holes on the ceiling surface, there are two doors on each side for the entrances and exits, and the semicircular arch window is opened above, which can accommodate the assembly of more than 400 people.
The whole is a baroque building, with a vaulted roof eight meters high, an exquisite structure, eight curved skylights on both sides, and twelve simple and elegant wall lamps around the venue, which is a very good banquet venue.
When Chen Feng came, there were not many people inside, at least less than he imagined, only fifty or sixty people.
What surprised Chen Feng was that there were not many people in the entertainment industry on Treasure Island, especially singers, Chen Feng looked around a little but didn't see it.
A few veteran film and television stars have seen it.
Some people, Chen Feng's mind does not have any memory content in the jΓΉ library.
As soon as Li Zhan and Chen Feng appeared, of course, these people all gathered around.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Chen Feng with the warmest applause this time. β
Under Li Zhan's greeting, these people all applauded warmly.
Chen Feng had no choice but to cooperate and politely bow slightly to these people to thank them.
After the applause stopped, Li Zhan said enthusiastically: "Chen Feng, I'll introduce you to some people to you." β
Chen Feng really didn't like this kind of occasion very much, but Chen Feng was not easy to refuse when the president invited him, so under his guidance, he shook hands with the upper-level figures of these treasure islands one by one, most of them are from the business community, they can be said to be rich, and their attitude towards Chen Feng is very good.
At the same time, it also shows Li Zhan's own prestige in the business community of Baodao.
And for those figures in the entertainment industry, Li Zhan only focused on a few heavyweight directors.
Of course, he didn't introduce all the others to Chen Feng one by one.
After a general introduction of the people, Li Zhan announced that the banquet had officially begun.
An orchestra took to the small stage and began to play music.
And Li Zhan invited Chen Feng to the Red Hall with a group of people from before, where a small tea party and dinner could be held.
After they all sat down, Li Zhan asked, "Chen Feng, tomorrow is my inauguration, can't you really come to attend?"
Of course, Chen Feng was already a little prepared for this, so he said: "I myself want to participate, but you should also know by now that my identity is relatively special, I am a public figure, and my every move will be watched by some well-intentioned people with a magnifying glass." Since I am a person from the mainland, and I am also a public figure, and given the special relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait now, if I attend your inauguration ceremony, I will definitely be discussed by the outside world and even attacked by some conservative people in the mainland. β
"When you say that, I'm a little upset. It's me who is a little selfish. β
Li Zhan said matter-of-factly, "I know that it is not easy for you to come this time, and I am very grateful." Although I would also like you to attend my inauguration. But I also know that this can really make it difficult for you. That's it. In a word. I would like to thank you very much for coming to Treasure Island on the occasion of my inauguration. β
Chen Feng reciprocated the favor and said politely: "I am also deeply honored by your invitation. β
Li Zhan said enthusiastically: "This time, you can stay on our treasure island for a few more days and have a good time, I can arrange it for you." β
Chen Feng had no choice but to repeat what he had said to Chu Wanchang before.
After listening to this, Li Zhan nodded understandingly, but said with some pity: "That's really a pity, I know it's not easy for you to come to Treasure Island once, and I don't know when you will come over next time." β
Chu Wanchang, who was beside him, reminded loudly: "Mr. President, Chen Feng previously announced that he was going to tour around the world. Our treasure island is obviously on his tour list as well, Chen Feng, don't you say?"
There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes, if there is no accident, this side of Treasure Island is my fifth tour location." β
"That's good, when you come to the tour, I may be able to participate in it in person, and you can also stay on our treasure island for a few more days and have a good time. β
"This. You can only see the itinerary when the time comes. β
"You're busy and you need to rest, on our side. We will definitely make you feel at home. β
Chen Feng's current identity is not transformed and disguised in private, otherwise he just goes to play like this, and is watched by a large group of people, how can he have a good time?
For Li Zhan's words, Chen Feng could only smile.
At this time, a person sitting on the sofa opposite Chen Feng suddenly interjected and asked: "Chen Feng, I heard that you are going to participate in a number of track and field competitions in the Olympic Games this time, and you don't think you are sure." β
Of course, Chen Feng's current memory is not a problem, Li Zhan introduced it before, this person is the chairman of the Baodao Sports Committee, called Chen Shou, an athlete, with several degrees, and a doctorate.
"I still have a lot of confidence, otherwise I wouldn't have competed. β
Although Chen Feng said it very plainly, everyone knows that his self-confidence is very strong.
"Chen Feng, it's not that I doubt you, we yellow people have congenital physical weakness in track and field events, which is much worse than black and white people. This is also an important reason why it is difficult for us yellow people to win championships in track and field events so far. β
Chen Feng was slightly unhappy when he heard his remarks, but he also had to admit that what the other party said made some sense, but this obviously could not be used as an important argument.
"Maybe you have a little bit of a point. But with all due respect, this race is only a small factor, more of a factor is in scientific and systematic training, not to mention, our Huaguo female athletes still have a very strong advantage in track and field events, and they have also won many championships, which shows that race is not a very important factor. β
Chen Shou insisted: "The gap in sports skills between different races is not very big in women, but in men, the gap is big." β
Chen Feng said in a slightly stiff tone: "Okay, I have reservations about your ethnography. Anyway, this time I participated in the Olympics, so it can be said that I went directly to the gold medal. When the time comes, you can wait and see how I, a yellow man, will win the championship. β
Chen Shou probably also felt Chen Feng feel what he said just now, and tried to explain: "Chen Feng, don't get me wrong, I didn't just say that the track and field skills of our yellow people are necessarily inferior to those blacks and whites, but we have to admit that this is a common phenomenon, and there are some gaps in sports between races. Of course, there are always unexpected cases, maybe you are, both Chinese and yellow, I am very much looking forward to and wishing you good results in this Olympic Games. β
Li Zhan hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "What Commissioner Chen said is right. I myself am also very optimistic about you, Chen Feng, and I believe that you will be able to shine in this Olympic Games and win glory for us Chinese. β
"Thank you both for your kind words. I know it's too early to talk about winning a gold medal or something, so we'll just have to wait and see. β
Li Zhan said seriously: "Chen Feng, I personally believe in your strength very much. Since your debut, you have been widely known to the world, and your various expressions have been shocking and admirable, and I am sure you will be the same this time. β
"Thank you for your trust, and all I can say is that I will not let down those who trust me. β
"Good!"
Li Zhan praised loudly, "Young people should have such confidence and responsibility. β
Li Zhan looked at Chen Feng with admiration on his face, and then sighed slightly: "It's really a pity that you are not from our treasure island." A genius like you. There are also not many in history. β
Chen Feng smiled: "Although I am not from Baodao. But I am Chinese, and we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. I have now made a little achievement, and in some way, I have also won some glory for tens of millions of people on the treasure island. β
Li Zhan couldn't help but laugh heartily: "That's right, but you didn't just fight for a little light, but raised your eyebrows for all of us Chinese." Since modern times, it is the film and television stars of those Western countries who have come to impact our Eastern countries, and you have reversed this situation in one fell swoop. Especially your influence in today's Dongying. It's really jaw-dropping. Because of historical reasons, the people on our treasure island are deeply influenced by the island culture of Dongying, and we all liked Dongying's film and television stars when we were young, but now you are a Chinese star but you have directly conquered the entire country of Dongying, just by virtue of this, you are an unborn genius and hero, hehe. β
It can be seen that Li Zhan really likes Chen Feng very much, and when he talks, he doesn't even have too many scruples, and his attitude is also very easy-going.
Pangbian's Chu Wanchang also praised it playfully: "In fact, I admire Chen Feng's achievements in foreign cultural exchanges. But not the most appreciated. What I admire most is Chen Feng's great achievements in the field of philanthropy. The LONG Fund he founded is now bearing fruit all over the world. Countless people have been rescued, and in some places the efficiency of the rescue is even higher than that of the Red Cross. Therefore, the White House awarded him the Honorary Citizen of the United States, which is really expected. β
Li Zhan immediately continued: "Our Baodao Dragon Foundation also has multiple branches, and it has also rescued many people, and it is playing an increasingly important role in the field of charity. In view of this, as the 11th President of Baodao, after the inauguration ceremony tomorrow, I will award Chen Feng, the highest medal of honor in Baodao, the Order of the Special Jingxing, to Chen Feng for his important contributions to the field of charity in Baodao. β
Chen Feng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Zhan's words, which really surprised him very much.
Today's trip to Treasure Island really surprised him, first he didn't expect that Li Zhan would take time out of his busy schedule to meet him immediately, and he also held a welcome banquet.
And then there's the Order of the Stars.
According to the Treasure Island's Medal Ordinance, this medal is awarded to civil servants who have made meritorious contributions to the affairs of the country, or to domestic and foreign nationals who have made significant contributions to the country.
This medal is indeed the highest honor in Treasure Island, and although foreign officials have also won it, it is not too much, not to mention that it is still the highest class.
But to be honest, Chen Feng is really a little uninterested in this medal, not to mention that this matter is a bit involved in politics, which makes Chen Feng really embarrassed.
However, thinking of the special mission this time, Chen Feng could not refuse Li Zhan's kindness.
At this time, after Li Zhan announced this decision, except for Chu Wanchang, the rest of the people present were very surprised, and several of them even had envious and even jealous looks on their faces.
Then under the leadership of Chu Wanchang, everyone applauded and congratulated Chen Feng.
"Thank you, thank you. β
Chen Feng had no choice but to say humbly, "To be honest, I really deserve this highest honor. Although I founded the LONG Foundation and donated some money, it is mainly the caring people who trust me and my foundation to donate, as well as the volunteers from all over the world, who deserve such a medal of honor. β
"Chen Feng, it's a bit presumptuous for you to say that. β
Chu Wanchang said disappreciatively, "If you hadn't created this long fund, if it weren't for your trust, those donations would not have been donated to your fund, not to mention that as far as I know, you have donated the most money to the entire long fund." Without you as an organizer and planner, how could charity have developed so well. You are arguably the truly greatest philanthropist of our time. This year's Nobel Peace Prize is none other than you, your voice is the highest, and I myself am very optimistic about you. β
When Chen Feng heard the last news, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "No, I actually have a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize?"
When everyone saw him surprised, they didn't seem to be doing anything, and they were all very surprised.
Li Zhan couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't really know the news, do you? Now the outside world thinks that with such important achievements in the field of global charity, the Nobel Peace Prize belongs to you." β
"I recall that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to those who have made the greatest efforts or contributions to the promotion of national unity and friendship, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the organization and promotion of peace conferences. I'm just doing charity, and I don't seem to have anything to do with that. β
Li Zhan said with a smile: "Don't you know that it is precisely because of your charitable undertakings in various parts of the world that bloodshed and conflicts have been greatly reduced and national unity and friendship have been strengthened? At the same time, your long fund is now not just a charitable organization, but also plays an increasingly important role in all parts of the world, especially in those poor and backward countries and regions, and has played a very good role in coordinating conflicts and avoiding many bloody conflicts." β
Although Chen Feng does not manage the LONG Fund much, he also knows the last point, those branches of the LONG Fund in Africa are now only a charitable organization, but also a peace organization, because of its own role in saving lives and helping the poor, it is easy to gain broad public support in the local area, so when there is a local ethnic conflict, the LONG Fund plays a very good role in persuasion and coordination, which is better than the peacekeeping force sent by the United Nations.
