After Mu Yang finished writing these things, he looked at the time at half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, he dealt with things relatively quickly, finished it half an hour in advance, could take a little rest, have lunch, and then discuss the matter of the speech with today's spokesman in the afternoon, today's spokesman should be Deputy Director Yan Lei.

Muyang packed up his things and prepared to go to the bathroom, at this moment, the phone on the desk rang, Muyang picked it up and answered, it was the director Cheng Gang who called: "Muyang, the Foreign Affairs University invited our News Department to give a big class to the students, when the time comes, you and I will go over, you prepare, it is a morning class, you have to talk for half the time." ”

"Okay, Director, are there any requirements for the course?" Muyang asked.

"There are no requirements, mainly to let the students broaden their horizons, and it is not a professional course, I am going to talk about the content of the press spokesman, as for you, you can prepare according to your interests." Director Cheng Gang said.

"I see, I'll be ready." Muyang responded.

For lecturing to his classmates, Mu Yang is not scared, although his current age is only 26 years old, but his experience is far from comparable, he has seen the wind and waves, and he has no feeling at all in the face of a group of students.

I'm saying that I have the goods in my head, but I'm afraid I won't be able to say it.

However, it is still necessary to prepare the manuscript in advance, after Muyang came back from the bathroom, turned on the computer, thought about it, and typed a title, "The difference between a translator and a diplomat".

The next morning, Mu Yang accompanied Cheng Gang to the Foreign Affairs University, who himself was born at the Foreign Affairs University. I am very familiar with this place, and this time I was invited by my alma mater to give this lecture.

Beijing Foreign Affairs University, China Foreign Affairs University, School of International Relations. These schools are the cradles of diplomats, and it can be said that the vast majority of Chinese diplomats come from these schools.

The car stopped in front of the building, the school had already done propaganda before, and many students were rushing to the big classroom, and after Cheng Gang and Muyang got out of the car, many students recognized Cheng Gang, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who was often on the road on TV. Although there was no incident where the classmates gathered around to ask for autographs, there were still many people who stopped to watch and talk about Cheng Gang.

"Senior Brother Cheng Gang can be regarded as a hardliner among the speakers. But sometimes it sounds really relieving. ”

"I think it's better than Yan Lei."

"I can't say that, I think it should be a different division of labor, there are a lot of jokes circulating on the Internet, which can actually reflect the real situation."

"Who's the guy next to him?"

"It's a bodyguard."

"Does the spokesman still have bodyguards? But that black suit. It looks like it. ”

The conversation of the classmates was not deliberately suppressed, Cheng Gang and Muyang heard it, Cheng Gang approached Muyang and whispered: "It seems that you are going to be my bodyguard today, hehehe." ”

Muyang could only smile.

Who told him to wear a black suit today in order to show formality, adding his age and his height of more than 1.8 meters, he really looks like a bodyguard. Now he's short of a pair of headphones.

They were greeted by a vice president of the China Foreign Affairs University, Liu, and after shaking hands. Walk to the lounge of the big classroom and wait for the time to teach.

When the time came, Vice President Liu accompanied Cheng Gang to the stage, and then said to the students in the audience: "Today, I am honored to invite our alumni, Director General of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Cheng Gang, to give you this lecture. ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Cheng."

"Zhan Gang."

The students in the audience shouted one after another, to be honest, these students know Cheng Gang much more than they know about the Foreign Minister, after all, they can see it every day.

"Hello junior brothers and sisters, I am Cheng Gang, what I want to talk to you about today is my current job, about some understanding of the diplomatic spokesperson, there is something wrong, and I welcome criticism and correction at any time."

Cheng just got straight to the point.

"Foreign Ministry spokesperson is a very challenging profession, and the most important thing is to have the ability to be flexible and adaptable, and be able to adapt to questions from foreign media, which is quite a test of one's comprehensive ability.

The most basic thing is good eloquence, since I am the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, of course, I must speak fluent standard Mandarin. Master the art of speaking, learn to answer or avoid certain questions indirectly, of course, have a gatekeeper in your mouth, put aside all personal emotions when working, and put the interests of the country in the first place.

Some people often say that the spokesperson speaks one by one, not as fluent as the news anchor, I must admit, in fact, before the reporter asks a question, we don't know what the other party is going to ask, even if we have made some preparations before, but only through a lot of information, to make a prediction of certain things, and when we arrive at the press conference, we need to reorganize the language, the reporter's question, and the meaning we want to express, which requires a time to organize the language, so"

Cheng Gang talked eloquently on the stage, without a hint of pause, unlike at the press conference, where a sentence needs to be paused three or four times.

Muyang watched Cheng Gang's speech at the door of the backstage, and suddenly thought of a joke on the Internet, many netizens joked that the spokesman's speed and way of speaking were tiring to listen to, so it was better to let Lang Xianping, Gao Xiaosong, Yuan Tengfei, Yu Dan, and Zhou Xiaozheng go up.

Hearing these words, Mu Yang could only hehe.

What the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs is not to be eloquent, not to talk to foreigners about the mountains, from poetry and poetry to philosophy of life. You need to know what you have to say and what you shouldn't say, know how many different ways you can express the same meaning, know what the difference is between words that look similar, and what are the different effects of one more word and one less word in a sentence. These are much more difficult than those celebrities who run the train with their mouths full of mouths and gossip with you about a few words of history. If they really want to be the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, no matter how famous they are, it is estimated that they will not be sharp, even if they become unable to speak, Muyang will believe it.

For an hour and a half, the venue was temporarily closed, and when the students returned to their seats, they found that Vice President Liu had led up a young and handsome young man, dressed in a black suit, with a tall figure and bright eyes.

Well, the author praised it a little harshly, but the image is definitely not bad.

"Hey, isn't this the bodyguard, how did he come to the stage."

"Don't be kidding, can the bodyguard let Principal Liu accompany him to the stage?"

At this time, I heard Vice President Liu introduce into the microphone: "I will introduce to you the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, maybe you don't know him very well, I will briefly introduce it to you." (To be continued.) )
