The delegation walked around Baghdad without incident.

Except for one or two representatives of countries that had enemies with Iraq, the rest of the delegates became silent after seeing the devastation in Baghdad.

Seeing the representatives around him frowning one by one, their faces were silent, Lightning smiled in his heart, and understood that Li Xiaogang's heart-attacking tactics had begun to work.

With the evening meeting, the negotiations should soon come to an end, and the grain convoy that is still besieged at sea can dock early.

In the evening, Harvid set up a dinner party and sat down with him.

However, Sia did not participate, and instead followed Lightning to a small secluded restaurant.

Due to the ongoing war in Baghdad and the fact that power supply facilities are the main targets of attacks, the power supply in Baghdad is interrupted from time to time.

In this small dining room, there are no lights, but there are flickering candles everywhere.

The candlelight creates an unusually romantic atmosphere throughout the restaurant, and as soon as Sia walks in, she is captivated by the atmosphere.

Seeing that Xia Xia's eyes were closed, with a very Tao look, Lightning smiled and said, "How is it?" Not bad, right? ”

Xia nodded excitedly and said, "Well, it's so emotional!" ”

Lightning shook his head and led Xia Xia to the seat he had already set, and Li Xiaogang had not yet come.

After sitting down, Xia Xia said in admiration: "I really didn't expect that the belligerent Iraqi people still have so many romantic cells in their bodies!" ”

Lightning said with some tears and laughter: "I didn't expect that the compulsion of the people of Iraq will become romantic in your eyes, hehe......"

Xia glanced at him, and said faintly: "Why are you so unhappy!" You've achieved your goal of letting us go sightseeing, so you don't have to brainwash me like this anymore, right? ”

Lightning smiled and said, "Okay." Good! I'm not going to spoil the fun, let's just eat and wait. ”

Sia's appetite today is surprisingly good, I don't know if it's because of the surrounding atmosphere, or because of the lightning in front of him. I ordered two servings of pasta in a row.

Sia said with some regret: "It would be nice if there was steak to eat here!" ”

Lightning pouted and said, "The people here will soon be unable to eat, and you are still thinking about eating steak?" Ay! ”

"You're here again!"

Sia glared at the lightning with anger and said in a coquettish voice.

Lightning patted his mouth and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't control it for a while!" Hehe......" Xia Xia glanced at him in a variety of ways, and then said faintly: "Lightning, tell me about your boss!" Look at how much respect you have for him. I think he must be a great man, I don't know anything about him, and then he came. I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed! ”

"Huh...... What do you want to know about me, beautiful young lady? As soon as Xia Xia's words fell, Li Xiaogang's rather magnetic voice sounded from behind her.

Lightning smiled, but Xia turned her head in surprise, and she couldn't help but be stunned at this look.

The surrounding candlelight emitted a somewhat dim light. This faint yellow light hit Li Xiaogang's face. It was as if his whole person was covered in a yellow cloud, hazy. Shifting between clarity and ambiguity, it's amazingly captivating.

"Oh my God! Are you Chinese men so attractive? Sia did not hide his admiration in the slightest. said loudly to Li Xiaogang.

Li Xiaogang laughed and said, "Miss Xia has won the award!" With that, he sat down beside Lightning.

Lightning smiled and looked at the surprised West Asia, and said faintly: "West Asia." Come, let me officially introduce to you, this is my boss, Mr. Li Xiaogang Li! ”

Xia Xia hurriedly stretched out her soft and boneless jade hand and said, "Hello, I'm Xia Xia!" It's an honor to meet you! ”

Li Xiaogang smiled and shook Xia Xia's hand, nodded and said, "Me too!" ”

Xia looked at the two of them with a smile, and said slowly: "It's even my honor for me to have dinner with two Chinese men with such charm today, I don't think I will forget tonight in the future!" ”

Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "Such a beautiful night of dinner with a beautiful young lady like you, I don't think Lightning and I will forget it!" ”

Xia immediately glared at the lightning and said coquettishly: "If he dares to forget, I will kill him!" ”

As soon as Li Xiaogang heard this, he felt that something was not quite right, and subconsciously looked at the lightning, only to see the lightning coughing embarrassedly, and he was a little dodgy in the face of Li Xiaogang's gaze.

Li Xiaogang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, knowing that something must have happened between the two.

But Li Xiaogang wouldn't complain about Lightning's disloyalty to Shi Yuyao or anything, because he didn't have that qualification, so he had to act as if he didn't know what to do, let it be, and let Lightning deal with it himself.

Although Li Xiaogang was not ready to ask, it did not prevent him from taking advantage of this to ridicule the lightning, and asked with a smile at Xia Xia: "Miss Xia Xia, do you think our Chinese men are very ...... 'powerful'?" ”

Under the inducement of Li Xiaogang's voice, Xia instinctively thought of the madness of the day, as if he had suddenly returned to that moment of passion, and subconsciously nodded and exclaimed: "It's really powerful!" ”

"Sia, you've drunk too much...... Lightning was embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly drank Sia Dao.

Xia looked at the lightning coquettishly and said, "No, I didn't drink today!" ”

Li Xiaogang looked at the lightning with a smile and said, "Miss Xia obviously didn't drink, but you said that others did, did you drink too much?" ”

Lightning smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, Brother Gang." Let's get down to business first, shall we? ”

Li Xiaogang couldn't bear to be too embarrassed, smiled, and didn't dwell on this issue anymore, but said to Xia Xia: "Miss Xia Xia, Israel has seized our ship, and it has been a week now. Even if we mistakenly trespass into the territorial waters of our homeland, it is our fault first, but this is almost enough, right? If Israel needs us to apologize to your country, no problem, we can issue an apology statement right away. Even if your country wants to receive compensation, we can negotiate and negotiate right away.

In short, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, and it must be solved as much as possible! ”

Xia smiled bitterly and said: "We also want to solve it as much as possible, but the several negotiators we sent have been rejected by you, and we can't get up quickly if we want to!" ”

Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "This time and that time!" Aren't we already sitting together now? ”

Xia looked at Li Xiaogang. Puzzled, he asked, "You...... Can you represent your country's government? ”

Li Xiaogang leaned back and said with a faint smile: "What? You don't think I'm qualified? ”

Xia hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I just thought you were so young, a little unbelievable!" ”

Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "What's so unbelievable about this? Isn't Miss Sia the same young age? ”

Sia smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Okay! In that case, let's talk really openly! ”

Sia restrained his smile and regained the seriousness that a good diplomat should have.

With wisdom in his eyes, he looked at Li Xiaogang and said, "Mr. Li, now that the matter is over, there is no need for us to continue to conceal our true intentions!" Actually, the reason why we want to seize this fleet. What really looks at is the grain on these ships. ”

Li Xiaogang smiled faintly: "I know this!" Although the Israeli people still have no worries about food and clothing, in fact, the grain reserves of the Israeli government have long been exhausted. As soon as this news is exposed, the entire Israel country will immediately fall into a food panic. ”

Xia looked at Li Xiaogang in surprise. Na Na said: "This ...... This is a high-level secret of Israel, how do you know that? Li Xiaogang smiled slightly, glanced at the lightning beside him, and said leisurely: "Have you forgotten that there is an all-pervasive heavenly thorn under my hand." ”

Sia nodded a little abruptly and said, "No wonder! Now that the entire Middle East is a world of thorns, I believe that our country is also covered with the eyes and intelligence network of thorns. How can this little secret be hidden from your eyes? But that's fine. Now that you know that Israel is also facing a food famine. Then it should be clearer how resolute our attitude is towards this batch of grain, right? One word. We are determined to get this batch of food! Even if we don't get all of it, we'll keep half of it! As for the price. You can mention it, but we will not bargain! ”

Li Xiaogang smiled and said to Lightning: "Lightning." Did you hear that? The country is the country of Israel, and it is really rich! ”

Smiling, Li Xiaogang's face turned grim, and he said firmly: "I'm really sorry, Miss Xia Xia!" Our attitude is as resolute as yours. Since we have decided that this batch of grain will be sold to Iraq and Iran, then even if other countries give us gold and silver, they will not want to buy a grain from me! ”

Xia Xia said helplessly: "Mr. Li, why do you have to be so stubborn? ”

Li Xiaogang shook his head and said, "I don't call this stubbornness, this is called credit!" If a person doesn't have credit, it's basically doomed! We can't give up the credit of our Chinese people because of the big interests of sesame mung beans in front of us! If it were you, I don't think you would have done it, would you? ”

Xia sighed deeply and said faintly: "It seems that our negotiations will not achieve any results today. ”

Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "That's not necessarily. As long as your country is a little more merciful and considerate of others, maybe we will reach a mutually satisfactory consensus? ”

Xia frowned and said, "Mr. Li, do you really think such a possibility?" We will not give up this batch of grain, and you will not give it up, then I don't understand, both sides are unwilling to give in, how can this consensus be reached? ”

"Xia Xia, after coming all the way this afternoon, don't you still think that you are obsessed with this batch of grain, and you are actually asking for the lives of the people of Iraq? Can't you just be kind and give others a way to live? Lightning looked at Sia with some dissatisfaction and said.

Sia looked a little crying and laughing, and said to Lightning: "Lightning, I really sympathize with the people of Iraq, but I can't abandon my responsibilities because of sympathy for the people of Iraq. It is precisely because I have walked around Baghdad today and seen the embarrassment of the people of Baghdad that I have become even more determined to win this batch of grain! ”

After listening to Xia Xia's words, Lightning and Li Xiaogang both looked at each other a little, and Lightning couldn't help but ask, "Why?" Are you really hard-hearted and insist on watching the Iraqi people starve to death? (To be continued.) (。 ))
