After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 500 Beware of the Sniper!
Everything is ready; all that's left is to present the awards.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yongxiang and his relatives were not the only ones who traveled all the way to the United States to receive the award.

He also has many business friends, some in the chemical raw materials business, some in the glass business, and some in the sporting goods business.

I just want to witness this sacred moment together!

Zhou Haoran had no choice but to explain to everyone.

Keep it secret!
To avoid outsiders finding out and damaging their reputation.

These kinds of shady awards from shady organizations are common in the United States. They're not considered fraud or illegal, but they're not exactly respectable, so it's best not to make them public.

Xu You was quite worried about this, saying, "Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be discovered sooner or later!"

"That's different. The most important element here is time."

Zhou Haoran was enjoying himself.

"what?"

Xu You did not understand.

Dongfang Lang chuckled and said, "Mr. Xu, it seems you don't know much about Dr. Zhou!"

Xu You asked, "What's wrong?"

Dongfang Lang said mysteriously, "Do you know the Great Master?"

Xu You looked somewhat bewildered.

Dongfang Lang laughed and said, "When you have the chance to return to China in the future, go to the harbor. There's a Haoran Mansion next to the Bund. Once you go there, you'll understand. Dr. Zhou isn't making money now; he's making a good reputation in the industry."

"Does a shoddy award have a good reputation?"

Xu You has been in the United States for more than ten years and rarely returns to China. As a result, he has become accustomed to the American way of life and is not very familiar with the situation in China.

Dongfang Lang said, "At least in the short term, it will have a good reputation."

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "In the short term, we can help Nanji resolve the crisis public relations incident, and also help Nanji build its brand in China, and get a lot of free media coverage, so that Nanji can compete with foreign brands."

These days, the Chinese internet is just getting started.

The information is pitifully scarce.

Nobody knows what the United Nations is all about.

Even two or three decades later, the United Nations still maintains a lofty public image. Many online celebrities can still use this tactic to deceive millions of followers, such as the glamorous "UN socialites."

These beautiful young women, with their exquisite makeup, proudly announced their good news on social media: they were invited to speak at the United Nations, they received an award at the United Nations, they attended a meeting at the United Nations, or they delivered a keynote speech at the United Nations on behalf of new-era feminism...

The photos and short videos that are posted are very alluring.

In reality, these people all paid $20 for a ticket to visit the United Nations headquarters and took a few photos.

It's just the United Nations; it has no seriousness whatsoever. You can go by buying a ticket; anyone can.

Xu You frowned and said, "Even if we can gain benefits in the short term, in the long run... this kind of thing will be discovered sooner or later. There are only a few directly affiliated agencies of the United Nations. The rest are just quack organizations using the name of the United Nations."

"Short-term is enough."

Zhou Haoran didn't care.

Xu You asked, "What about in the long term? What about later?"

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "In the short term, we only need to rely on the United Nations' name to gain fame. In the long term... Hmph, a few years from now, the United Nations will have to come to me and cooperate with me to ride on its coattails and gain attention!"

Xu You was dumbfounded.

"Alright, keep this a secret. When Zhang Yongxiang and the others arrive, we'll make it look like a real event and give out the awards properly. We can't let anyone find out."

This time, Zhou Haoran was facing not only Zhang Yongxiang, but also some of his friends.

I'll definitely tell people about this award ceremony when I get back home.

It needs to be made more realistic.

Zhou Haoran asked, "Sister Yangyang, how's Director Yang doing?"

"It's all arranged."

Ji Yingyang tossed her hair with a carefree air.

Zhou Haoran said, "Rehearse a few more times. These actors will be the main focus during the awards ceremony. But don't be too nervous. These people in China are not very knowledgeable. If they get to the UN headquarters auditorium, their legs will probably be shaking. If there are any minor mistakes during the awards ceremony, we can use the excuse of Americans being lazy and liberal to cover it up."

It turns out that more rehearsals are effective.

Qiao Hai noticed a flaw during rehearsals.

The General Assembly Hall at the United Nations Headquarters is very large and spacious.

Without a microphone and sound system to assist you, speaking on stage with your natural voice will sound hollow and weak, which is just too pathetic.

There are facilities in the Great Hall.

When the United Nations General Assembly is held, not only are there electronic devices to assist, but there are even simultaneous interpreters.

However, these electronic devices are not open to tourists.

Zhou Haoran and his group received "VIP tour group" admission tickets, which did not grant them access to the electronic devices in the auditorium.

"This is troublesome."

Qiao Hai frowned.

Dongfang Lang snorted coldly, "There's no trouble at all!"

"Do you have any idea?"

Qiao Hai's eyes lit up.

Dongfang Lang said, "Once when I went to another city, I saw a group of beggars, which was quite interesting. One of the beggars was pushing a small cart with a microphone hanging around his neck, connected to a small speaker on the cart. He used the microphone and speaker to amplify the volume when begging."

"what?"

Qiao Hai was dumbfounded.

Xu You understood what he meant and also found it utterly absurd.

Zhou Haoran laughed heartily, "Yes, that's great! If the UN won't let us use their equipment, then we'll just bring our own simple microphones and sound equipment in!"

Dongfang Lang clapped his hands, "That works!"

The two hit it off immediately, leaving everyone else reeling.

This is such a shoddy operation.

However, the results were acceptable!

September 7th, noon.

Official awards ceremony!

Xu You and Director Yang went in first with the equipment and actors.

There's an hour of lunchtime there!

Half an hour is enough for the awards ceremony.

The extra half hour is used to let them do the testing inside.

Zhou Haoran, Dongfang Lang, Qiao Hai, and Ji Yingyang were outside the United Nations headquarters building, accompanying Zhang Yongxiang, the boss of Nanji Ren, and his business friends who had been invited to attend such a grand occasion.

Anxious waiting.

"Sir, what do you think of my tie?" Zhang Yongxiang asked nervously, feeling that the red tie was too glaring. "Should I change it?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "It's alright, this is just right."

Is there any statement from the United Nations?

Zhang Yongxiang rubbed his hands together. It was only March, and he was wearing a suit and felt a bit cold.

His friend next to him seemed even more nervous than he was.

Everyone came to ask the elder, "What are the rules of the United Nations?"
Come on, tell us quickly!
Don't let them go in knowing nothing and break the rules of the United Nations. It's one thing for them to embarrass themselves, but don't let them embarrass the country!

"Indeed, the rules of the United Nations are very strict."

Zhou Haoran glanced at Dongfang Lang.

Dongfang Lang added in a serious tone: "This is the headquarters building, which contains many important UN secrets. Once you enter, please do not look around. If you see anything strange, just pretend you didn't see it. Don't look too much, and definitely don't ask any questions. It's best not to say a word or talk to the staff. If there's anything, we'll communicate with the UN personnel."

Zhang Yongxiang repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, this is a diplomatic occasion. How can ordinary people get involved?"

His friend, General Manager Zhao, said solemnly, "You really need to be careful. This is the United Nations; we can't be careless! If we make a mistake, we could become spies. We absolutely cannot be careless!"

Zhang Yongxiang said very seriously, "Once we go in, we'll follow Mr. Da. He has very strong connections at the United Nations. With his arrangements, nothing will go wrong!"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Just follow me, there's no need to be too nervous."

Dongfang Lang said in a deep voice, "Don't be careless, this is the United Nations!"

Qiao Hai chimed in, half-jokingly saying, "Yes, this is UN territory. Once you enter this UN building, it belongs to UN territory. Killing people here is beyond the reach of American law. I've heard there are snipers inside the UN, so everyone be very careful when you go in!"

"This……"

Zhang Yongxiang, dressed in a suit, was preparing to go on stage to lead the class.

It was quite cold, as we were only dressed in thin clothes.

After hearing Qiao Hai's words, he broke out in a sweat.

What does this mean?
Is there any danger to one's life while receiving an award at the United Nations?
As Ji Yingyang listened to his friends spouting nonsense, he could only keep a straight face.

My heart was already bursting with joy.

Haha!

So interesting.

Dongfang Lang added fuel to the fire, saying, "Don't worry too much. Once inside, as long as you don't look around, touch things, or ask questions indiscriminately, and don't go to any classified areas, and just follow us, there won't be any risk of being shot."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yongxiang and his friends trembled even more.

Especially his friends.

They all looked at each other somewhat bewildered.

Is accepting an award really something that comes with the risk of getting shot?

If I had known, I wouldn't have joined in this fun.

Finally, Dongfang Lang's phone rang.

A message from Xu You came from inside.

You can enter now!
Then, a group of more than a dozen people, including Zhou Haoran, Dongfang Lang, Qiao Hai, Ji Yingyang, and Zhang Yongxiang, began to enter!
Zhou Haoran took the lead and walked at the very front.

This made Zhang Yongxiang secretly admire him.

He thought to himself, "Mr. Da is indeed Mr. Da. His magnanimity and courage are far beyond what ordinary people can match. He came to the United Nations as if he were at home, and he wasn't even afraid of snipers."

He is indeed a big shot!

Several of his friends were also deeply moved and whispered among themselves.

"Stop whispering!"

Dongfang Lang looked serious and gave a low shout.

It immediately quieted down.

Apart from Zhou Haoran conversing effortlessly with a blonde woman who was showing them the way in incomprehensible English, everyone else remained silent, barely daring to look at the layout and structure of the United Nations.

Walk with your head down.

I was still terrified.

The more I think about it, the more panicked I become.

I felt that if it weren't for Mr. Da leading the way, I might have actually been targeted by a sniper on this trip.

Soon, we arrived at the United Nations General Assembly Hall.

Zhang Yongxiang breathed a long sigh of relief after meeting with staff from the United Nations Apparel Industry Agency and some important leaders who were presenting the awards.

Look up.

Inside the grand hall, the four sides resemble a dome, the entire structure is sloping, and the top is a thin, round roof. The hall is clad in specially designed translucent glass panels, which are embedded in the marble pillars, giving it the soft lighting characteristic of a cathedral.

So solemn, so dignified!
This is the United Nations!
Exactly the same as what was shown on international news on TV!
