Chapter 31: Putting on the Armor (I)

As if they had already greeted the VIPs unexpectedly, after Tang Guoming and the others arrived at a small city that didn't look too big, but the surrounding scenery was excellent, the first thing to greet Tang Guoming and others was a gluttonous feast. Several stocky chefs spread all kinds of delicacies on a table in front of Tang Guoming and others, and some good wines that are difficult to see in ordinary high-end bars were also sent to Tang Guoming and others without hesitation by those stocky chefs.

Stretching out his chopsticks and putting a piece of meat back into the pot and putting it in his mouth, Tang Guoming didn't have time to enjoy the pleasant feeling of the delicious exploding from his taste buds, Pan Guan and Bao Lei had already whispered in unison: "The condiments shipped from China are gone!" ”

Carefully savoring the delicious taste coming from the tip of his tongue, Tang Guoming turned his eyes to look at a chef standing behind him: "The Republic of Dawa is small enough, and this city is even smaller!" In such a place...... Do you always have domestic spices? Not to mention anything else, the red oil made from these two jingtiao chili peppers and Chaotian peppers is definitely a fresh product made within a week? ”

With an unusually honest smile on his face, the stocky chef nodded very smugly: "You are a serious eater?" Now that transportation is relatively developed, the era when the brothers who went abroad to work in the past and held a jar of pickles brought by the family as treasures are gone! Not to mention anything else - at least in the restaurants under our Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, there is never a shortage of domestic condiments! As long as you like it, just eat it, it's enough! ”

Frowning slightly, Tang Guoming inadvertently stretched out his chopsticks towards a plate of pepper fish fillets: "Chinese Entrepreneurs Association? You are the ...... of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association here."

Before he finished speaking, a voice that Tang Guoming had heard in the communicator suddenly came from outside the door: "Everything here belongs to the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in Africa, and it has nothing to do with the embassy!" ”

Without standing up, or even turning his eyes to look in the direction where the voice came from, Tang Guoming tasted the food in front of him by himself: "It seems that the energy of this Chinese Business Association in Africa is really not small?" The scope of business has also expanded to the scope of dancing knives and guns? ”

Completely ignoring Bao Lei and the others who were staring at him coldly, and not caring about Gu Weisu, who had already put his hands under the table and obviously grabbed some kind of weapon, the middle-aged man who spoke out loud pulled out a chair very aggressively, sat down at the dining table, and smiled at the chef who had just spoken to Tang Guoming: "Lao Zhang, please give me a bowl and chopsticks?" ”

Obviously knowing that the middle-aged man came in a hurry, not to rub on such a good meal, Lao Xiong quickly delivered a pair of dishes and chopsticks to the middle-aged man, and beckoned several other chefs to exit the spacious dining room.

Reaching out and grabbing the wine bottle on the table, the middle-aged man poured himself a glass of red wine for himself, and raised his glass to look at Tang Guoming: "The little surname is Xiong, Xiong Yi!" I am the director of the External Relations Department of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in Africa, and I am fortunate to meet Lieutenant Tang Guoming! ”

His eyes suddenly froze, and Tang Guoming gently put down the chopsticks in his hand: "To be able to find out my details so quickly, the ability of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in Africa is really not to be underestimated?!" To borrow a question - Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in Africa...... There should be a place name in front of this name, right? ”

As if he hadn't heard Tang Guoming's question, Xiong Yi drank all the red wine in the cup: "May I tell you a story first?" ”

Staring at Xiong Yi for a few moments, Tang Guoming nodded and responded: "Listen up!" ”

Pouring himself a glass of red wine again, Xiong Yi slowly raised the red wine glass in front of his eyes, and his eyes were a little confused: "Just a few years ago, based on the fact that Dawa's economy was in a difficult stage of starting bottlenecks, our government decided to forgive Dawa a part of its debts - no doubt, it is to forgive debts without any conditions!" This must be a great thing for the Republic of Dawa! At that time, Counselor Zhang, who was still in the Economic and Commercial Office of the Embassy, approached the director of Dawa Guan and told him the good news. But guess what the other director's director said? ”

Suddenly drank the red wine in the cup, Xiong Yi seemed to have expected that Tang Guoming would not answer his question, and continued to answer himself: "The person who told us very calmly - your forgiveness of our national debts is naturally a great benefit to our country, but what benefits can I get for myself?" ”

Surprised, his mouth grown, and Bao Lei whispered in disbelief: "This...... Is this broken director lacking eyes or a ghost? Debt forgiveness between countries! A good thing that can't be found with a lantern, he still dares to reach out and ask for a kickback?! Is he crazy? ”

Looking at Bao Lei with a wry smile, Xiong Yi reached out again and grabbed the wine bottle: "This is Africa!" Or rather...... This is at least what is happening in many countries and sectors in Africa! For certain ...... In order to be able to do something that is beneficial to all Chinese, we have to tolerate such things! But...... It can't be Counselor Zhang, or some people with official status, to do these disgusting things, right? It's absolutely illegal! ”

Looking at Xiong Yi's gaze, he unconsciously felt a little more relaxed, and Tang Guoming replied in a deep voice: "So these things should be done by someone who has no official background but can really do some things?" And you...... Happens to be good at this? ”

The wry smile on his face was even heavier, and Xiong Yi looked at Tang Guoming calmly: "On the contrary, I'm really not good at this!" ”

Reaching out and grabbing the wine bottle that Xiong Yi had just put down, Tang Guoming also poured half a glass of red wine for himself: "You have a large number of scars on your knees and elbows from many years ago, and this kind of trace clearly shows that you have undergone strict field training, because this kind of trace can only be scratched and left by crawling forward and shooting in a variety of complex terrains; There are hard calluses left on the peaks of your fists, although you have not trained with your bare hands for many years, and these calluses are not obvious, but your fist peaks are all flat, indicating that you have experienced rigorous, long-term combat training; You sit in a relaxed position, as if your back has no muscle memory at all, but your left arm is very stable, and your right hand swings within a certain range, which proves that you consciously control your arms, and can command your hands to do what they want to do at the first time, and even if you are sitting, your feet are very solid on the ground, ensuring that you can jump or roll vigorously at any time - what you are good at, should be something that we are all good at? ”

Tang Guoming nodded approvingly, and the trace of the wry smile on Xiong Yi's face faded a little: "You can see this, which means that you can roughly understand why I can find you in such a short time...... Or rather, your bottom line? ”

Gently shaking the red wine glass in his hand, Tang Guoming's voice was unusually peaceful: "What else do you know?" ”
