"Jingle Bell ......"

Ding Haijun, who had just finished washing up and was about to rest after reading the book, subconsciously moved his gaze to the phone that was ringing non-stop, and subconsciously frowned.

Out of the need for secrecy, two telephones have been installed in the lounges of several principal leaders of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, including Ding Haijun, one is an internal telephone that can only make internal contact, and the other can be used to make external calls through the transfer of the switchboard.

The question is, who calls him at this point in time, and can he transfer the call to himself through the verification of the switchboard's manual station?

Doubts are doubts, Ding Haijun's reaction was not slow, he immediately picked up the receiver of the phone, and said in English: "Hello, who is it?"

Chen Geng said: "Brother Ding, I am Chen Geng. ”

It turned out to be Chen Geng? Ding Haijun was a little surprised, and at the same time suddenly realized: No wonder the switchboard can transfer the call in.

The familiar Mandarin on the phone made Ding Haijun immediately cut into Chinese, and he said in surprise: "It turned out to be you, brother, how? How can you have time to call me today?"

"Well, that's right," Chen Geng said, "Do you have time tomorrow? I'm going to go to your embassy to eat dumplings." ”

Chen Geng is coming tomorrow?

After clearly refusing the embassy's invitation to come to participate in this year's Spring Festival reunion, he wants to come?

What the hell is going on with him coming?

Ding Haijun's mind turned sharply, but his mouth was not slow at all: "Of course! Of course, no problem, Master Wang of the canteen returned to China to visit relatives some time ago, and learned a few new hands with several masters who did state banquets...... When are you coming?"

Chen Geng chuckled lightly and said, "Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, is it inconvenient for you to put it down?"

"Convenient! Of course it's convenient," Ding Haijun said with a smile: "No matter when you come, brother, our door will always be open to you." ”

After a few more pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.

Although the matter was serious, Ding Haijun did not immediately report the matter to Envoy Lian Changheng as soon as he hung up the phone, but lit a cigarette and smoked half a cigarette before picking up the internal phone in the room...... Well, there is something, Chen Geng called me just now, saying that he would come over tomorrow to eat dumplings...... Yes, yes, I don't think it's that simple...... Okay, I'll be right over......."

........................

All those who were qualified to attend this extraordinary meeting were the core leaders of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, two ministers, several minister-counselors of the visiting and political offices, and military attachés, and a total of less than 10 people who were the core of the entire embassy.

Lian Changheng didn't go around the pass, and directly asked Ding Haijun: "Old Ding, what's going on? Mr. Chen Geng called you so late, what did he say?"

This question was not only curious to Lian Changheng, but also to the leaders of other embassies who came to attend this emergency meeting.

Ding Haijun coughed lightly and said, "I'll give you a brief introduction to the situation first, just about ten minutes ago, I received a call from the switchboard......

After introducing the situation to everyone, Ding Haijun said: "That's all I have so far, but I believe that Chen Geng will never call me so late for no reason, just to come to the embassy for a dumpling." ”

This is nonsense!

It's also true.

Calling the embassy so late just to have a dumpling? What are you kidding!

Lian Changheng nodded: "Everyone already knows the situation, so let's analyze it together and speak freely, Mr. Chen Geng got in touch with us so late, what is his purpose...... Lao Ding, what do you think?"

Ding Haijun shook his head: "I haven't figured it out at this moment. ”

Lian Changheng was not surprised by Ding Haijun's answer, he nodded slightly, and looked at Miao Qianqian: "Old Miao, what about you? What do you think?"

"I—I don't have a clue right now......

............

No one has a clue.

It was really Chen Geng's sudden call that made the second monk puzzled, and they all knew that Chen Geng's call was definitely not so simple, but why did he make this call?

As long as you say that complaining about Chen Geng is not explained on the phone, it is impossible at all, everyone understands in their hearts that since Chen Geng does not say it, it means that the matter he wants to come to the embassy this time is very important, and he must not say it on the phone, so, what is it?

Comrade Yang Li, the military attache of the embassy who had not spoken much, frowned and spoke: "Everyone said, is it possible that it has something to do with the US government?"

Something to do with the U.S. government?

As soon as Yang Li's analysis, or judgment, came out, Lian Changheng immediately became excited: "What do you say? Comrade Yang Li, why do you think that Chen Geng's visit has something to do with the US government?"

"It's just a feeling," Yang Li frowned slightly: "Do you still remember the media reports on the White House Christmas dinner in the past few days? Among them, Chen Geng and President Reagan occupy a considerable amount of space, and it is almost like saying that Chen Geng and the new President of the United States, Mr. Reagan, hit it off at first sight and hated to see each other too late."

So, is it possible that Chen Geng's arrival is actually on behalf of President Reagan, or the American government, to convey some information that is inconvenient to convey through official channels?"

Well?!

Yang Li's analysis made everyone's eyes suddenly light up: Yes, why didn't I expect it?

In terms of influence, the White House Christmas dinner can't be compared with the annual Super Bowl finals and the shopping carnival "Black Friday", but it is also one of the hot news in recent days, including the New York Times, the Washington Post and many other top media in the United States, including the first New Year's dinner after Reagan moved into the White House.

And Chen Geng, as the first yellow and Chinese American to appear at the White House New Year's dinner, coupled with his status as the youngest billionaire in the United States, naturally attracted the attention of countless media.

According to a number of American media, President Reagan and Fernández Chen hit it off at first sight, and during the New Year's dinner, the two had two communications for a total of more than 40 minutes, which was unique during the entire New Year's dinner.

These media are not making up nonsense, and many newspapers have taken out photos of Chen Geng and Reagan as evidence, and in the photos, Chen Geng and Reagan are smiling happily at the camera.

If that doesn't prove anything, then at the White House press conference the next day, when asked about the incident, the White House press secretary frankly admitted that Mr. President and Fernández Chen hit it off at first sight, and that the two had chatted twice during the dinner for a total of 42 minutes, which was enough to make the entire embassy look sideways, and immediately revised Chen Geng's important rating.

Now that I think about it, maybe this is really as Yang Military Attache said, first let the embassy know that Chen Geng's relationship with the White House and the president is very good, and then Chen Geng's visit to the embassy was immediately there, and the whole thing was actually a signal from the White House and the US government to the embassy and the Chinese side: Chen Geng is very important in the development of Sino-US relations, and his visit to the embassy this time is actually full of special missions.

"Makes sense!"

Lian Changheng's eyes also lit up, he grabbed the rope and refused to let go: "Lao Yang, you analyze and analyze again, what is Mr. Chen Geng going to say when he comes over this time?"

"I don't know about this," Yang Li smiled bitterly: "Then again, if Chen Geng's intention can be guessed by us so easily, the U.S. government won't be so fanfare, right?"

“......”

No one spoke, and everyone exchanged glances with each other: it seems that this is also the truth.

..............................

"Mr. Chen, welcome, welcome!"

Seeing Chen Geng, Lian Changheng, who was waiting at the gate, stepped forward, holding Chen Geng's hand and shaking vigorously, with a bright face like a flower, enthusiastic and confused: "I'll tell you, you came at the right time, a few days ago, the old master Wang of the canteen returned to China to visit relatives, and went to learn a few tricks from a few masters who did the state banquet. ”

Ding Haijun nodded frequently on the side, not echoing two sentences, and perfectly played the role of praise.

After greeting a few words, Chen Geng explained his intentions: "Ambassador Lian, and gentlemen, I came here this time to convey goodwill and support for Huaxia on behalf of the US government. ”

“......”

The ambassadors, deputy envoys, and counselors did not speak, but quickly glanced at each other: Sure enough, Lao Yang guessed that Chen Geng's visit really had something to do with the US government.

It's not in vain that I stayed up for many hours last night, thinking about last night's chickens and dogs, it's all worth it at this time, if I hadn't been mentally prepared in advance, I would definitely be startled by Chen Geng's words at this time, right?

Lian Changheng nodded slightly: "Mr. Chen, can you tell me a little more detail?"

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded: "To put it simply, to put it directly, the US government attaches great importance to the long-standing traditional friendship between the two countries, and after knowing that China's northern border is facing tremendous national defense pressure, the US government is willing to provide some help to China." ”

"What do you mean......" Lian Changheng stood up with a hula, because he was too excited, his hands were trembling slightly: "The U.S. government is willing to sell us military equipment?"

The other members of the embassy had a smile on their faces that could not be concealed.
