Chapter 1224: An Invitation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!
After waiting for less than three minutes, the call from Four Eyes came.
"Brother, the phone was checked. It's a little scary to say though. The four-eyed tone was quite worried, and he wiped a cold sweat and said.
"Say it." Xiao Zheng smiled. "Who else can bluff you Four-Eyed?"
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Four Eyes said succinctly. "That phone call just now came from the office of the deputy foreign minister."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he immediately did not ask, but wondered if he had committed treason. After making sure that he was still a patriot, he let out a breath of turbidity. "Correct?"
"It's impossible to make a mistake." Four Eyes said with a wry smile. "It is impossible to change the phone number of this kind of unit at will."
After a pause, the four eyes were curious: "Brother." Did you accidentally sleep with a certain leader's daughter? β
"Get out."
Xiao Zheng hung up the phone, sat on the chair and pondered for a moment before deciding to go to the meeting alone.
Since it was a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had made an appointment with him. Then the security should be guaranteed. Brother Ah Zheng is worth a lot of money now, but he doesn't want to go to tea with Marx too early. I have to worry about it every day, and I am afraid of being hit by a car when I cross the road.
After informing Xiao Taohong, Xiao Zheng went to the parking lot to pick up the car and went straight to the State Guest Building.
The State Guest Building is located in the downtown area. From the outside, it's not very special, and it's not hard to find. Xiao Zheng drove for less than 20 minutes and stopped at the entrance of the State Guest Building.
"Mr. Xiao?"
As soon as he got out of the car, a middle-aged man in a straight suit greeted him. It looks righteous and awe-inspiring. Robust and calm.
"It's me. You areβ" Xiao Zheng shook hands politely.
"You may not know me. But I know your name like thunder. The middle-aged man introduced himself. My name is Li Lei. Worked for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. β
Sure enough, it was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said, "You are too polite. The status of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in our China is not to be said. β
"It's a verbal protest, you don't have to say it, do you?" Li Lei joked.
Xiao Zheng smiled dumbly. This guy is still very capable of blackening himself.
"No more small talk. Minister Gong is waiting for you upstairs. Li Lei stepped aside and stretched out his hand. Mr. Shaw, please go upstairs. β
Xiao Zheng nodded, and he was not polite.
got on the elevator, Li Lei directly pressed the button on the top floor. After more than ten seconds, the elevator door slowly opened with a clang. The two walked out back and forth and went straight to the designated place.
"Mr. Xiao. Go inside. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Li Lei smiled.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his heart became more and more condensed.
Can't even participate at Li Lei's level? It seems that the situation is bigger than expected. Confidentiality is also quite high.
Knock knock.
Xiao Zheng knocked on the door. Wait silently.
After a few seconds, the door slowly opened. The person who opened the door surprised Xiao Zheng.
"Is that you?" Xiao Zheng asked incredulously.
Jiang Qing was as hard and cold as ever, but a touch of surprise unconsciously flashed on his cold face: "Come in." β
Get out of the way.
As soon as Xiao Zheng entered the house, he found that it was a suite.
The area is huge. There are three floors inside and outside. Sitting area, work area, and lounge area. The area is about 100 square meters.
As soon as they entered the room, a man and a woman sitting on the sofa in the reception area got up to greet them.
"Mr. Xiao, I have admired my name for a long time." The middle-aged woman at the head smiled. Looks amiable.
Xiao Zheng shook hands with him, and then smiled: "You were the one who talked to me on the phone just now?" β
"Hmm." The middle-aged woman nodded and smiled. "Forgot to introduce yourself. My surname is Gong. Worked for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. β
"Hello Minister Gong."
Li Lei mentioned it just now. Xiao Zheng also remembered the identity of the other party.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. A vice-ministerial-level figure who is serious. And it's the kind of person who is a deputy minister on the surface, but in fact, even a ministerial-level boss will give face.
Why?
This is because every foreign minister is a close confidant of the head of government. Even in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first foreign minister was directly appointed by Premier Zhou.
It can be said that the most important real power department.
Such a diplomat, at the rank of deputy minister, personally made an appointment with him. You can imagine how important it is.
Everyone briefly greeted each other for a while, and then sat down one after another. Minister Gong sat on one side with the middle-aged man accompanying him, and Jiang Qing naturally sat on the side with Xiao Zheng.
"Mr. Xiao. We've admired your name for a long time. And I've seen you on TV. Minister Gong smiled.
"You're serious." Xiao Zheng owed, and said with curiosity on his face. "Did you have any instructions for you to ask me to come here this time?"
He didn't dare to hold it up. After all, he is a deputy ministerial-level figure in the real power department. And there is no friendship, and it is the first time we have met. The truth of shooting the first bird with a gun, Xiao understood it when he was a soldier. But he has been taught again and again...
"Mr. Siu is a well-known businessman. Where dare we command you. Minister Gong shook his head with a smile. However, there is something that needs to be asked for Mr. Xiao's help. β
"Please feel free to speak." Xiao Zheng smiled. "As long as I can. I will not shirk it. β
When Jiang Qing heard this, he said very calmly: "You must be able to help." β
Xiao Zheng glanced at Jiang Qing and secretly thought: It depends on the situation, you betrayed me this time, right?
Jiang Qing saw the doubt in Xiao Zheng's eyes, but he didn't respond directly. just said slowly: "Because of the seriousness of the situation, everything in this operation belongs to the first-class secrecy. β
As she spoke, she took out a document from her briefcase and said, "Xiao Zheng, before you know the inside story, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement." β
Xiao Zheng did not refuse. Originally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave him a reliable signal. What's more, Jiang Qing intervened. Xiao Zheng was more relieved.
Look, Brother Ah Zheng is so kind. I didn't even understand the situation, so I signed and drew a pledge. Maybe someone sold it and counted the money with a smile.
After signing the agreement, Xiao Zheng raised his head and asked, "What's going on?" β
Minister Gong explained: "We are hosting an important guest. Due to some personal factors, we would like to be accompanied by Mr. Siu throughout the process. The duration is three days. Captain Chiang will be in charge of security. β
"What important people need the dragon group to protect in person?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
Jiang Qing glanced at Xiao Zheng and said word by word: "This character may not be well known to others." But Mr. Siu must know. Not only do they know each other, but they should still be old acquaintances. β
There are thorns in and out of the words. In addition, Xiao Zheng and Jiang Qing have had those common experiences. He quickly deduced the identity of the important guest.
"VIP from Tokyo?" Xiao Zheng asked tentatively.
When Minister Gong heard this, he smiled slightly and complimented: "Mr. Xiao really has a delicate heart. β
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Minister Gong, you have praised it falsely. Captain Jiang has reminded me of this, if I can't guess it, I will definitely be humiliated by Captain Jiang. β
Who is coming?
It is Prince Ling Lainei who competes with Prince Tianxiong!
