The Chinese Embassy in the United States is bordered by Van Nuys Avenue to the north, International Street to the west, and International Road and Central Park to the south. The exterior of the office building is made of French limestone, which is a delicate color and texture, in harmony with the many limestone federal buildings in the Washington area. The office building was designed by I.M. Pei, an internationally renowned architect, and constructed by Huaxia Architects. Looking at the bright red national flag fluttering high on the flagpole at the gate, Li Xiaoning was also a little agitated, and under the leadership of Zhou Peng, he strode in.

Zhou Peng first took Li Xiaoning to the room where he lived and put his luggage, the room was very luxuriously decorated, and the facilities were also very complete, and you could see the street scene outside the window through the glass window.

"Assistant Li, you have worked hard all the way, rest first, I will call you when we eat, our chefs here are all special chefs invited from China, and the food is very good......", Zhou Peng briefly introduced the situation of the embassy to Li Xiaoning and left.

Li Xiaoning thought that he should go to Lin Zuotao's military attache to report first, so he took out a special piece of Chinese medicine and a jar of bird's tongue tea from his suitcase and put it in his satchel, took it to the door and walked towards the military attaché's office.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoning knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, and asked the people in the room next to him, only to know that Lin Zuotao had gone out. Li Xiaoning thought for a moment, then walked towards Ambassador Feng Hong's office again.

When I arrived at the ambassador's office, I knocked lightly on the door, and heard a majestic baritone voice coming from inside, "Please come in." ”

Li Xiaoning pushed open the door and walked in, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties reviewing the text behind a large desk. He has a handsome face: his skin is as smooth as silk, his eyebrows are as beautiful as distant mountains, his eyes are as bright as bright stars, clear as lakes, his nose is as straight as a knife, his lips are upturned like water chestnuts, and his face is thin and angular.

Presumably this is Feng Hong, the Chinese ambassador to the United States. Li Xiaoning couldn't help but praise "handsome" in his heart, such a person as an ambassador is indeed enough to save face for the motherland.

Li Xiaoning was about to introduce himself, Feng Hong raised his head and looked at him, pointed to the sofa on the side and said coldly: "You sit down first, I will talk to you after reviewing these documents......"

The cold attitude unabashedly expressed Feng Hong's dislike for himself. Li Xiaoning smiled, sat down on the sofa beside him, looked straight ahead, and also observed the supreme leader of Huaxia in the United States.

It can be seen that this Ambassador Feng Hong is a person who pays great attention to his own image, he is very handsome, and now in the office, he is still wearing a suit and leather shoes, a square tie, and his hair is mousse, combed neatly, and he looks even more calm and atmospheric.

Li Xiaoning couldn't think of such an atmospheric person, why should he have trouble with his little military attache assistant? What's more, this should be the first meeting between the two parties, where does the hatred for yourself come from?

While Li Xiaoning was observing Feng Hong, Feng Hong was also secretly observing Li Xiaoning. The calmness and calmness on Li Xiaoning's body that did not match his age also made Feng Hong can't help but praise a little in his heart. Feng Hong is a person with a very strong sense of responsibility and special energy, no matter who comes in the embassy, he must first read the relevant information in detail, not to mention that Li Xiaoning's position is not low. Therefore, Li Xiaoning's past political experience has long been in Feng Hong's mind.

If you look at it to ordinary people, Li Xiaoning's resume can be described as perfect, he achieved the position of assistant to the deputy provincial city mayor at a young age, and no matter which term he is in, he can be said to have outstanding political achievements.

However, Feng Hong is not an ordinary person, and it is absolutely not simple to come to the United States as an ambassador, not only because he has excellent professional and political skills, but also because he must have comprehensive analysis and processing ability that surpasses ordinary people. And Feng Hong has these abilities.

Therefore, Feng Hong keenly analyzed some things that others can't see from Li Xiaoning's past experience, that is, in Li Xiaoning's political career, there has always been no shortage of nobles, whether it is the Guan family, Lin Guodong, or even Liu Qifeng, they have always supported Li Xiaoning openly or secretly.

The results of such an analysis made Feng Hong feel a little uncomfortable, because he hated the factional struggle within the party very much, and he also hated political speculators very much, and he didn't like the so-called second generation of officials. And Li Xiaoning's past experience left Feng Hong with all the bad impressions mentioned above.

What made Feng Hong even more unhappy was that Li Xiaoning had been working in politics before, and now he suddenly came to the United States as an assistant military attaché as a major. This is simply a decision made by the superiors with a hot head. What is the embassy? The official version is that a country has a permanent diplomatic mission in the capital of a country that has diplomatic relations with China, but in fact, those who are familiar with the inside know that it is the base camp and refuge of the intelligence agencies stationed abroad. Is this a place where anyone can come anywhere? You just sent an ordinary clerk, and you actually sent an assistant military attache who can master secrets and the affairs of one party?

Feng Hong could even imagine that Li Xiaoning's visit this time was nothing more than two situations. One is purely to gild, and when it is over, go back to continue to be promoted and make a fortune; The other is that some people from above have sent them to spy on them.

In these two situations, no matter which one of them, it is impossible for Feng Hong to have a good impression of Li Xiaoning, especially in the latter case, Feng Hong is polite to snub him.

However, his years as a diplomat have made Feng Hong develop an extremely cautious character, and he never fights unprepared battles. The reason why he deliberately assigned a small staff officer Zhou Peng to pick up the plane before, and deliberately snubbed Li Xiaoning just now, was actually deliberately tempting.

If Li Xiaoning was quickly provoked, then it meant that this young man's city was not enough, and it would be much easier to deal with, but now Li Xiaoning was so calm and did not show any irritation at all, which showed that this young man's city was terrifying, and he had to change his strategy to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Feng Hong immediately changed his face, put down Wen Jiàn, stood up with a smile on his face, walked quickly to the sofa, took the initiative to hold Li Xiaoning's hand and said, "You are Comrade Xiaoning, you are really young and promising." I'm really sorry, I was going to pick you up at the airport in person today, but I happened to have an important foreign affairs event to attend, Comrade Xiaoning, please Haihan......"

Feng Hong's conceitfulness made Li Xiaoning feel quite uncomfortable, and he hurriedly said humbly: "Ambassador Feng has won the award, you are an old diplomat, I have never had any diplomatic experience, this time I came to learn from you and Martial Attache Lin, and I ask you to take care of me......
