Officialdom is different from other fields, with many rules and restrictions. Ministers like Gong serve in core departments like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they are at a high level. Generally speaking, unless you are reporting to your boss, you rarely call in person. It is usually handled by the secretary. This is the leadership shelf.

For another example, if a big boss usually orders a secretary who is just outside the door to do something, why don't you just shout, or go out to inform him, but call the internal line?

This is also the boss's shelf.

But now, Minister Gong has called Xiao Zheng twice in a row. This has invisibly put Xiao Zheng in a very high position. There is even a suspicion of lowering the profile.

Xiao Zhengruo didn't answer - whether he was afraid of offending Minister Gong or not. In doing so, there is always a suspicion of trust. And it's a very immature approach.

"Go pick it up. We are waiting for you. Ye Yuhua smiled understandingly.

"I'll be here in a moment." Xiao Zheng answered the phone, and Xu Bu stepped aside.

After all, it is a major national event, and it is right to be cautious.

"Mr. Xiao. I called you in a hurry, didn't bother you, did I? ”

Minister Gong said solemnly on the other side of the phone.

"It's fine." Xiao Zheng said politely. "Minister Gong has something to do with me?"

"Captain Jiang called Mr. Xiao before, and I was embarrassed to trouble you again. But this time—" Minister Gong paused very steadily, and said in a very soft tone. "Except for Mr. Xiao, I really don't know who else can solve this trouble."

This is a bit of a flattering statement. If you put it on someone else, you may immediately be fluttering, and you don't know who your surname is. But Xiao Zheng was under the harsh care of Lao Lin, even if he achieved a great victory, it was just a few simple praises. Not even a response.

Over time, Xiao Zheng became immune to this kind of flattery. Won't be gullible.

"Minister Gong, you overestimate me." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "What can I do about a problem that you can't solve?"

After a slight pause, Xiao Zheng didn't make a big deal of it, and asked bluntly, "What is the specific matter?" ”

Minister Gong paused, still in a calm tone, "According to the original plan, Prince Ling Lainei should take a plane back to Tokyo at noon tomorrow. But I don't know if we offended her somewhere. She's going back today. I didn't even eat lunch. ”

Skip lunch. That is, refusing to go to the feast. He didn't even give Minister Gong a chance to fight.

This is indeed an unexpected event for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it is very tricky.

Normally, the negotiations between Prince Ling Lainei and Minister Gong were very smooth. Except for some small details that have not yet been finalized, in the big aspect, the top level of Huaxia gave a high evaluation of this negotiation.

In other words, Prince Ling Lainei will return to China now, which can be regarded as a successful completion of the task. There will be no after-effects.

But as far as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is concerned, they still want to fight for it again. Hopefully, there will be some more benefits in this negotiation.

Moreover, these things may have a positive effect on Huaxia. For Japan, it is harmless.

Whether to agree or not depends on the words of Prince Ling Lainei.

On the one hand, it is very important, and on the other hand, it doesn't matter. In Minister Gong's opinion, as long as he works the last day, he should be able to take down Prince Ling Lainei.

But it backfired. But after Prince Ling Lainei learned that Xiao Zheng would not go to the appointment, he temporarily decided to fly to Tokyo at noon.

This is like a bolt from the blue for Minister Gong.

In a hurry, she had to put down the leadership shelf and take the initiative to call Xiao Zheng. I hope that Xiao Zheng, who has a deep friendship with Prince Ling Lainei, will come forward to coordinate.

After all, no matter how you say it, this time it is also for the country. Even if Xiao Zheng is dissatisfied with his previous behavior, he will not be a cold observer, right?

Xiao Zheng sorted out his thoughts, but his face was hesitant: "Minister Gong, I won't tell you anything, just a few days ago, I had a quarrel with Prince Ling Lainei, and I turned my face. ”

You can't talk about quarreling and turning your face. But it's a pretext. He hoped that Minister Gong would retreat despite the difficulties.

"Is there such a thing?" Minister Gong pretended to be surprised. But in my heart I don't believe it at all.

If you really want to quarrel and turn your face, can Prince Ling Lainei still hear that if you don't come, you will go home?

What is this for?

Minister Gong has been in the officialdom for many years, how can he not guess Prince Ling Lainei's thoughts?

She just wants to force herself to invite Xiao Zheng out!

Although Minister Gong didn't know what happened to Prince Ling Lainei and Xiao Zheng. But she was very sure that as long as Xiao Zheng showed up, Prince Ling Lainei would definitely let go.

This is the reason why she called Xiao Zheng personally.

"yes. Although Captain Jiang was not present at the time, he should have heard about it. Xiao Zheng put the blame on Jiang Qing.

"If that's the case—" Minister Gong didn't know how to answer. She could see it. Xiao Zheng is shrewd. Patriotism is patriotism, but he is not the kind of stunned person, and he was fooled by a few high-sounding words from himself.

"Minister Gong, I'm still in a bit of a hurry here. Or is that the first thing to do? Xiao Zheng revealed the meaning of hanging up the phone.

Although Minister Gong really wanted Xiao Zheng to come forward, since the other party had clearly refused. It was inconvenient for her to force it anymore.

I really want to talk about it. Although she is a high-ranking official at the deputy ministerial level. Xiao Zheng is just the vice president of a company. But she also understands the potential and financial resources of this company. She can even estimate that in another five or ten years, as long as ENN does not take the wrong path, it will definitely be able to reach the top of the Chinese business world.

Of course, she also considered the connections and backstage of the various parties behind ENN. For example, the terrifying life experience of Lin Huayin, the boss of Xinao. For example, Xiao Zheng's social status is like a bamboo...

Therefore, for Minister Gong, Xiao Zheng's help is love, and if she doesn't help, she can't use her official authority to oppress people.

With Xiao Zheng's current background, he may not be able to control him with a deputy ministerial-level title.

In the end, I could only say two words of greeting, and regretfully hung up the phone.

Xiao Zheng put away the phone and walked towards Ye Yuhua and his party with a smile.

"Solved?" Lin Huayin asked in a slightly lower voice.

"It's fine." Xiao Zheng shook his head with a smile and said. "Eating with my mother-in-law is the most important thing right now."

Bai Wufang smiled and said, "Ah Zheng, your sycophant is getting smoother and smoother." ”

When Xiao Zheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Boss Bai." I've wanted to learn your dragon hand for a long time! ”

Li Jing covered her mouth and chuckled.

Ye Yuhua also shook his head gently, showing kindness.

On the contrary, Lin Huayin said expressionlessly: "I want to learn my master's dragon hand." Let's talk about it after I get past it. ”

“――”

Xiao Zheng was dumbfounded. He glanced at Lin Huayin in surprise, and then glared at Bai Flawless.

It's only been a phone call, and Bai Wufang has become Lin Huayin's master?
