Chapter 444: The Big Guy's Attitude

Since things weren't very complicated, it didn't take much time for Joey to finish the whole thing. In order to clear up his relationship with this matter, in the course of the narrative, he repeatedly emphasizes that he did not know about it, and that it was Minister Rice and Jefferson who made the decision without telling him about it, and that the culprit of the whole thing was Cohen, an employee of Pombek Biopharmaceuticals, a super big liar.

It was this man who made up lies to deceive everyone, and it was because of his lies that Rice and Jefferson offended Chinese officials and caused the Chinese business delegation to cancel their planned visit to Wèn.

In fact, Joey knew very well that the responsibility of the embassy was his responsibility, and if something happened to Rice and Jefferson, he would also be implicated in it. In particular, for such a major event that affects the relations between the two countries, it is impossible to push the blame on his subordinates, which can only represent his incompetence as the supreme governor here. So, he put all the blame on Cohen.

It's different if you push it to Cohen. One is because Cohen is not a person inside the embassy, and the fault he committed has nothing to do with the embassy and nothing to do with him. The second is because Cohen is Pombeck's person, no matter whether Cohen lies or not, pushing it on Cohen's body is equivalent to pushing it on Pombek's body, and Pombek is powerful and has a lot to do with the Prime Minister, and if he pushes it on Pombek, the Prime Minister will not blame him, and those in China who point the finger at him will also change the direction of targeting.

Of course, Joey did not forget to say what he had done, although it has not had any effect so far, but he must let the prime minister know what he has really done, right?

After that, Joey was silent, and he quietly waited for the Prime Minister's response. He thought he had made things clear, and he had removed himself and the embassy from the whole thing, and it was up to the Prime Minister to take his attitude.

The phone was quiet, and there was no sound. After a few minutes, I remembered the words of the Prime Minister.

"What you say is true?"

"It's true. Cohen, the representative of the Pombeck company, is now in our embassy. And he himself had already admitted that he was deceiving us, and Minister Rice and Counselor Frank were present at the time, and they both heard it, and could testify to my words. ”

"I see. I'll talk to the people at Pombek about this. Also, you must contact the man named Yan Nan, and at any cost, make sure that the other party changes his mind and supports the business delegation's visit to Wèn. Also, find the companies that poached Pombeck employees. Investigate the situation of this company clearly, so that we can communicate with the Chinese side, after all, the incident was caused by this company. The Canadian prime minister changed his tone and shifted the blame to the Chinese side again.

"Yes!" As a subordinate, how could Joey not understand what the Prime Minister meant? He knew very well that the prime minister was saying this to give an explanation to the angry entrepreneurs in the country, so that these people knew that the cause of the incident was not entirely Pompec's fault. If you want to blame the Chinese company, blame the Chinese company. This is also a means for the Prime Minister to protect Pompek and exonerate Pombek. Because if you want to communicate with the Chinese side and understand the truth, you must go through their embassy. Who is the culprit at that time, and not by his mouth?

After the call, Joey sat alone in his office and thought for a long time, what the Prime Minister meant. Remedial measures should be taken to restore the plan for a Chinese business delegation to visit Canada. In addition, we will investigate the reasons for the cancellation of the Chinese visit. Calm everyone's anger and give an explanation to the country.

After figuring out the Prime Minister's clear instructions, Joey went back to Frank's office, and Rice, Jefferson, and Cohen were still there, but Frank hadn't returned yet. It shouldn't be so fast.

"Ambassador Joy, what's going on?" Les asked, looking at Joey, whose expression had changed. When I left, I still looked anxious and worried, but now, with a firm expression, it was obvious that I had an idea.

"The Prime Minister has just called, and China already knows about the cancellation of the Chinese business delegation's plan to visit WÈN." Joey said with a blank face, while his eyes were carefully watching the faces of Rice, Jefferson, and Cohen, hoping to find out who had leaked the news to the country, putting him and the entire embassy in a passive position.

"What?" Les was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" What is the attitude of the Prime Minister? What is the domestic reaction now? ”

Jefferson and Cohen were also frightened, and quickly raised their heads, unable to believe what Ambassador Joy said. Contacts between the country and the Chinese side are carried out entirely through the embassy. But no one has been notified by the embassy, so how can the country know? If it is said that the embassy knows about it, then the matter becomes complicated. Who has the power to bring the news to the Prime Minister's office?

Joey looked at the faces of the three men for a moment, and finally ruled them out, because judging by their reaction to hearing this, it didn't look like they had betrayed the embassy at all. After all, everyone is responsible in this matter, and no one can get rid of it. If you sue the country about the cancellation of your visit, wouldn't this be digging a hole for yourself? It seems that it really wasn't the people from the embassy who did it.

"I reported the whole matter to the Prime Minister, who was angry and ordered us to make amends at any cost." Joey said with a stern expression, and then set his eyes on Cohen. Because his gaze was full of sternness, it made Cohen tremble with fear.

"I, I'm ......!" Cohen knows how much of a mistake he has made, because his lies have affected the relationship between China and Canada, and even put Pombek in a passive situation, and there must be many people in China who want to kill him now. But as an ordinary person, when he faced this situation, he didn't know what he could do to change the status quo, so he could only support himself.

"Do you know how much of a mistake you've made now?" Joey stared at Cohen and asked, his gaze was like two sharp swords, so that Cohen didn't dare to make contact with his gaze at all, let alone look directly.

"I, I know." When Cohen heard this, he said, "Now, concealment and deception have no effect at this time. As for his fate, Cohen had already thought about it, and he was expelled from Pombeck. In the worst case, he was sentenced to prison. "Ambassador Joy, please give me a chance to do whatever I want."

"Hmph, you liar, if it weren't for you, our embassy wouldn't have been involved in this matter. By the way, Jefferson, and you. Joey looked at Jefferson again, and he knew that many of Cohen's decisions were fanned by Jefferson. If it weren't for Jefferson, maybe Cohen would have returned to Canada a long time ago. "As an embassy worker, you have caused trouble and damaged the relationship between China and Canada. Do you know how strict things are? ”

"Ambassador Joy, I was wrong, and I will definitely correct it in the future. In the future, I will do whatever you ask me to do, even if I am asked to go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, I am willing. Jefferson said with a sad face. But he didn't really cry. Rather, it was a fake cry, thunder and no rain was seen, and not a single tear was seen.

When Joey heard this, he sneered in his heart, counting these two boys as acquaintances. He really had something for these two to do. So, he looked at Cohen and said, "I heard that it's because a Chinese pharmaceutical company has dug into your Pombek corner." That's why you Pombek sent you here to bring back that employee named Zhou Ke, right? ”

"Yes. Yes, that's right. Cohen said with a nod.

"You Pombec now know that you deceived us, which is why the Chinese business delegation's visit to WÈN was cancelled, I think even if you go back this time, I'm afraid there will be no good results." "Still, I can show you the way." ”

"Ambassador Joy, please." Cohen couldn't wait to ask, he needed instructions right now, otherwise he wouldn't know what he had to do.

"I'll give you a day to investigate the situation of the Chinese company that poached you Pombec, and then summarize the whole matter and submit it to a report. Remember, the point of the matter is that the Chinese side digs up Pompeik's staff first, understand? ”

"Yes, yes, I see. In fact, it was the Chinese side that first poached us in Pompeik, which is why we are in Pompeik to achieve the current result, and this should be the responsibility of the Chinese side, and we Pompeik are the victims. Cohen said, he is also a smart man, how could he not understand what Ambassador Joy meant? This means that the responsibility should be shifted to the Chinese side. In this way, it is very beneficial to him both when he negotiates with the Chinese side and when he explains to Canada, so why should he not follow Ambassador Joy's words? "I'll investigate now." With that, Cohen saluted Ambassador Joy and Minister Rice, and then quickly left the office and went outside to investigate.

When he first arrived in China and talked to Zhou Ke, he asked Guò about the company that had poached Zhou Ke, and although he had not investigated it, he still knew some general information, including the name and location of the company.

After Cohen and Jefferson left, Minister Rice, who had been full of doubts in his heart, looked at Ambassador Joy and asked, "Ambassador Joy, listening to what you just said, it seems that you want to find out the company that poached Pombeck and put all the blame on this company, is this what the Prime Minister meant?" ”

"Yes." Joey said when he heard it.

"But will China accept such a reason?" Les asked curiously. Originally, it was because the people at the Canadian Embassy refused to reissue Zhou Ke's passport, which indirectly offended Yan Nan, an official of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, that the Chinese business delegation's plan to visit Canada was cancelled. But now, do you want to put the blame on the Chinese company? Don't forget that this official named Yannan was found by this company, if the responsibility is pushed back, will Yannan forgive them?

Rice thought for a moment, and then told Ambassador Joy about the things he had considered. Joey was slightly stunned when he heard this, then frowned and fell into deep thought. Obviously, he didn't think of this when he heard the order from the Prime Minister. But now that I think about it, things are very strict, and that company can't be messed with at all, otherwise the other party will find Yan Nan and offend Yan Nan again.

Isn't that still the case?

Could it be that the Prime Minister, in order to protect the Pombek Company, did not hesitate to lose the opportunity for the Chinese business delegation to visit Wèn? He only wants to use this incident as a reason to explain to China, and he does not intend to use this incident to negotiate with the Chinese side about the cancellation of the planned visit to Wèn?

Joy began to speculate about what the Prime Minister meant, whether he wanted to protect Pompek or the plan for China's visit. It's impossible to have the best of both worlds. If Pompeic is kept, it will be impossible for the Chinese side to resume its plan to visit Wèn. However, if the plan is kept, it must be attacked with Pombek, so that the Chinese side will be discouraged.

Joey was eager to call the Prime Minister again and ask carefully. Who do you want to protect? But he knew that the Prime Minister was angry, and if he asked, he would definitely be scolded.

What should be done?

Forget it, let's hand over a qiē to the country and let the country deal with this matter. After all, this matter is out of the scope of his ability as an ambassador to manage.

……

Although the reputation of Tianzheng Pharmaceutical in the industry is very small, many people know that Tianzheng Building, as a landmark building, its predecessor Wanqing Building, has stood there for more than ten years, and in these ten years, the surrounding has changed. But only he hasn't changed. Now the four words 'Tianzheng Building' standing on the top of the building are much larger than the original four words 'Wanqing Building', so that Wanqing Building was quickly replaced by Tianzheng Building. So, Cohen and Jefferson quickly found Tianzheng Pharmaceutical.

In order to avoid being discovered, the two deliberately put on makeup, baseball caps, sunglasses, and masks, not only their faces. They almost wrapped their entire heads. Although it's winter, you don't have to wrap it so outrageously, right?

"Are you sure this is it?" Jefferson asked Cohen that he didn't want to get along with the big liar on the other side, but there was nothing he could do. It was Ambassador Joey's order, and he could only follow Cohen. In fact, after learning that he had been deceived, Jefferson's opinion of Cohen was very big, and sometimes he thought about it. I even wanted to take out a knife and slaughter the other party. He can still remain calm in front of Cohen now, and he is already able to endure it.

"I'm sure." Cohen heard this and said, "I've already inquired. Tianzheng Pharmaceutical has only this company in Beijing, and the location can also be matched with what Zhou Ke said. Speaking of this, Cohen looked at the cold attitude of Jefferson and asked, "Jefferson, you don't blame me, do you?" ”

"What do you say?" It's okay not to mention this matter, but as soon as he mentioned it, Jefferson gritted his teeth, eager to eat each other's flesh and drink each other's blood. How angry and heartbreaking it is to have your own good future snuffed out by the other party's lies. This life is over.

"Jefferson, please forgive me. For the sake of Pombec's work, I can't do anything about it. Cohen said to Jefferson as he surveyed the tall building in front of him.

"I know you're doing this for Pombeck's job, but have you ever thought about me? Because of your lies, I will lose this hard-won job, do you know how hard I worked to get this job? You're my friend! Jefferson yelled at Cohen, his brow filled with rage.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think things would be so big, if I knew, I would never lie to you, please believe me."

"Trust you? Dream. I'll never trust you again. ”

Jefferson quickened his pace, leaving Cohen behind, and walked to the Tianzheng Building alone, pretending to be passing by, to observe Tianzheng Pharmaceutical up close.

Cohen looked at Jefferson's back and knew that he had broken his friend's heart this time, so he sighed helplessly and followed Jefferson. In fact, he really wanted to apologize to the other party for this incident and make amends. But with his current situation, he can't protect himself, so how can he compensate others?

"Captain, there are two suspicious people wandering outside the company." Inside the intelligence department of the Tianzheng Building, someone used a Guò monitor to spot Jefferson and Cohen, who were sneaking outside the company's walls.

In fact, after Wu Tian moved here and renamed Wanqing Building Tianzheng Building, he was harassed a lot. There are often sneaky people around the company, either hiding in cars or walking around the building, observing the situation inside, with the aim of stealing information about Project X, and the people in the intelligence department have long been used to it. It's just that the two people who appeared this time were never seen before, and the disguise was too obvious, the costume covering the whole body, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to find them.

Liu Min glanced at it and didn't care, "Continue to observe and let the security department pay attention." ”

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Wu Tian, who was reading the information, suddenly walked to the front of the screen, frowned and carefully looked at the two people in the screen, as if there was something on those two people that attracted him. But in fact, these two people have no other attraction except that they are dressed too obviously.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? Liu Min asked strangely.

"These two people look familiar, as if they have seen each other somewhere." Wu Tian thought as he spoke, always feeling very familiar.

"Seen? Wouldn't it, boss? They've covered themselves all, and you say you've seen them? Are you kidding? The snake said with a smile.

"Stupidity, even if you don't look at your face, you can judge it by your body shape and posture." Wu Tian said angrily, he observed for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands, looking like he suddenly realized, "Ah, I remember, they are Cohen and Jefferson, they met when they were in the hotel, you take a closer look." ”

Hearing Wu Tian's words, the others followed and observed carefully. However, compared to Wu Tian, they couldn't see anything.

There are hats, glasses and masks, and they are tightly covered, which can be seen? Sharp-eyed! (To be continued......)
