Chapter 678: National Service Selection
No matter whether it was because they shared the same blood or because of the supreme influence of his biological father Wang Yuanchao, Xiaocao became friends with the Wang family in a state of yearning, ignorance and realization.

This was a kind of excitement she had never experienced before.

In Boro State, after everyone paid New Year's greetings, they went to the banquet.

Although it is a reunion dinner and a family dinner, at this level, how could it be just a simple meal?
As the official first wife, Liu Qijin is naturally paired with Wang Yuanchao. Chen Xueru is the Speaker of the Boluo State, and Letty is the head of the cultural department of the Boluo State. They all have suitable identities.

Lou Xiao'e, Wang Ling, Zheng Juan, and Zhen Zhen could not attend such occasions as concubines. They did not hold public office in Boluo State, so they could only attend as representatives of social elites.

In any case, each family has invested a lot in Boluo State, so it is completely reasonable for them to attend such a banquet for officials and civilians.

As for the children, of course it doesn’t matter. As long as they call Wang Yuanchao dad, who would ask who their mom is?

Wang Xiao walked to his mother's side, squeezed her hand, and whispered:
"Mom, one day, I will let you sit here openly as Wang Xiao's mother!"

Lou Xiao'e patted her son's hand and said angrily, "Am I sitting here secretly now?"

Wang Xiao didn't say anything. Is it sneaky? Well, those who understand will understand.

Because of his identity as Wang Yuanchao's son, his position is quite different from that of his mother.

At this moment, he wanted to work hard.

Cherie Chung followed her boyfriend and felt a little distressed when she saw him forcing a smile. She said:
"Do you want me to accompany Auntie?"

Wang Xiao glared at her and said:
"You don't have to speak if you can't."

Cherie Chung felt a little aggrieved. She meant well, but her boyfriend was obviously upset, so she didn't dare say anything more.

She calmed down, and Wang Xiao comforted her:

"Don't think too much about it. It's just the path I want to take. It's not easy."

Zhong Chuhong grabbed her boyfriend's hand and said:
"I'll be with you, no matter what."

Officials from all walks of life in Boluo State, led by their superiors, came to visit Wang Yuanchao and his wife.

Many of them used to be Wang Yuanchao's former subordinates and managers who worked for Wang Yuanchao. There were also many new backbones who joined after coming to Boluo State. They had no chance to meet the big boss behind the scenes, so they had to come and pay their respects today.

After visiting Wang Yuanchao and his wife, they should also visit Wang Yuanchao's other women, that is, social elites. Maybe they can invest in something. Wang Yuanchao's children should be visited even more. They may become the No. 1 in Boluo State in the future.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, a group of people watched the Spring Festival Gala and chatted while watching.

Of course, they are not watching the mainland version, but the Hong Kong CTV. ATV held on to this position, and over the years, it has gradually become the banner of the Chinese New Year culture in Southeast Asia. Various countries have sent talents and programs to CTV, and then Chinese people in various countries can also watch this show at home during the Chinese New Year.

This is also a public opinion platform that Wang Yuanchao has painstakingly built. It can influence Chinese people in various countries without being obvious.

Boro State does not yet have the strength to host its own Spring Festival Gala.

Because we are currently in a stage of large-scale production and construction, the population, labor force, and technical talents are the main force of immigration. Sports talents are also the focus of attention. Artistic talents are not so popular. It is okay to set up some art troupes and go to various cities, factories, farms, and construction sites to perform consolation shows. It would be a bit embarrassing to appear on TV, so we just broadcast the CTV gala. Anyway, many people come from Hong Kong.

Wang Yuanchao said:

“We have done a great job in the first five, and we need to focus on the cultural aspects in the second five.

Four years from now, how we respond to countries and regions around the world at the Olympics will directly affect our image in everyone’s mind.”

Wang Yuanchao started talking, and the rest of the group started chatting.

In fact, Lotte is already focusing on this aspect of the work, but there is a question, which is what are the national characteristics of Boro.

Every country’s culture has its main theme. At present, the main ethnic group in Boluo is Chinese. Does this mean it is competing with the mainland for culture?
If the cultures of the Malays, Javanese and Borrok natives are to be used, then what is the purpose of all the cultural suppression over the years?
So no one can come up with a conclusion. Even if Wang Yuanchao didn't mention it today, Lydia would ask him for an answer. There will be a flag-receiving ceremony in Beijing and an 8-minute performance at the Seoul Olympics.

This performance has become a regular feature since the Los Angeles Olympics.

After receiving the flag in Los Angeles, South Korea performed a fan dance with Korean national characteristics.

How to choose Boro State?
In fact, Lotti is very talented in fashion design. She designed many of the costumes for the movies she starred in back then herself. Later, she was pulled together by Wang Yuanchao and opened a store with Zhou Qibang.

She also designed several plans.

The first one is based on cheongsam + Tang suit, highlighting the ethnic origin, integrating the surrounding cultural characteristics, and highlighting the characteristics of Boluo Kingdom in patterns and materials.

The second type is based on the local Nyonya culture in Southeast Asia and sublimated into the characteristic culture of Boluo. This is a unique embodiment of the culture of the native Chinese in Southeast Asia, combining elements of traditional Malay clothing and mainland clothing to form a rich variety of colors and unique designs.

For example, the low-cut shoulder pads and long dresses that evolved from the Malay burqa culture, supplemented by traditional mainland embroidery lace decorations, especially lace, were symbols of noble status 20 or 30 years ago.

The design of Nyonya shoes is unique, and they are often decorated with exquisite embroidery and decoration, showing an elegant and noble temperament. The shoes are mostly made of high-end fabrics such as silk and satin. The embroidery techniques of the mainland and the traditional Malay pattern designs are integrated into the production process, which is an important part of Nyonya clothing.

In fact, the so-called Nyonya clothing is the product deduced by wealthy Chinese.

How to choose between these two types of clothing? In fact, to some extent, we can see the future development direction of Boluo Kingdom from Wang Yuanchao's choice.

Without this, the cultural construction of the 25th Five-Year Plan will waver from side to side, which is a taboo in national policy.

Lydia Lo had reported this to Wang Yuanchao before, but he was busy with the 87 economic crisis that swept the world at the time, so he put it aside for the time being.

When he watched CTV's Spring Festival Gala again this time, Cai Peng and others mentioned it again in a subtle way, and he immediately understood the profound meaning of it.

Governing a country is never easy as you would like it to be, unless you want the country to develop well.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Letty came to Wang Yuanchao's residence with many costumes, including traditional costumes from neighboring countries, as well as two sets of alternative costumes specially designed for the Boluo Kingdom, for Wang Yuanchao to refer to and select.

In fact, as long as it is not the Malay samping, it is a cylindrical cloth tied around the waist, which is shorter than the sarong. Some Malay men sometimes use sarong as a samping, which can be tied outside or inside the clothes.

Wang Yuanchao felt that this thing had no aesthetic appeal.

After thinking for a while, he asked Chen Kui,

"What do you think?"

Chen Kui blinked his eyes vigorously: Are you asking me this?

When Wang Xiao heard this, his brain started working immediately. Oh shit, it’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming!

Chen Kui never expected his uncle to ask him this.

Yes, although Wang Yuanchao accepted Chen Xueru as his seventh wife, he still asked Chen Kui to call him uncle. Otherwise, Chen Kui was 4 years younger than him. If he called him dad, even if Chen Kui could call him dad, although Wang Yuanchao was perverted enough, he still felt a little bit overwhelmed. So he still asked Chen Kui to call him uncle.

After all, Chen Kui had been in the football and sports circles for many years, so he still had some basic political wisdom. He immediately circled around the clothes, organizing his words:
"The clothes designed by Auntie Lotte are just beautiful. So from an aesthetic point of view, I have no problem with them.

I also lived and worked in Boluo for a period of time, and I deeply felt the determination and fighting spirit of us Han people to change the world.

It took us five years to achieve results that neighboring countries could not achieve in ten or fifteen years!

So, I think if we use cheongsam and Tang suits, we can show our national temperament and tell everyone where our roots are!

In addition," Chen Kui paused, turned to another set of clothes, and continued:
"I also met many outstanding Malays and even Javanese in Boro. Let's not talk about the rejection of Javanese for now. The Malays are worthy of our respect for the inheritance of Chinese culture. They not only fought side by side with us in Boro, but also cooperated with us a lot in Hong Kong. Nyonya culture is also a branch of Chinese culture, a variant of adapting to local customs in a foreign country.

Therefore, if we use the Nyonya culture, it can better show our inheritance and development of the culture of this land, and will not highlight that we are foreign immigrants, so it is suitable for everyone to get along with us. "

Wang Yuanchao nodded. What Chen Kui said was all true and quite standard. The two sets of clothing had their own advantages and disadvantages, which were also explained.

So he glanced at the crowd and inadvertently saw Wang Xiao.

"How do you feel?"

Wang Xiao was just complaining about Chen Kui saying everything on both sides, and in the end he said nothing. When asked by his father, he was prepared in advance, so he said:

“I think what Big Brother said was very thorough, allowing a young person like me who has just arrived to clearly understand the origins of the two sets of clothing, as well as their respective advantages and disadvantages.

So I was thinking, can we combine the two, extract the characteristics of both, and integrate them into a set of clothes, which can show both our roots and our hearts that are rooted here.

So, in my personal opinion, I prefer the second set of Nyonya culture, but it needs to emphasize the essence of some Chinese culture."

Wang Xiao gave the result directly, without any middle-of-the-road words that would not offend either side. This made Wang Yuanchao look at him with new eyes, thinking that his boy was very decisive!

A leader may not be good at planning, but he must be good at making decisions. To be honest, Wang Yuanchao thinks that the decisions made by Wang Xiao are all good.

But everyone has fallen into the inertia of Wang Yuanchao's previous efforts to vigorously promote Chinese culture. Who says that the Boluo Kingdom can only have one set of cultural costumes?
Can't we have a few more sets?
