238. Embarrassment

Wang Zhizhi didn't know what her mood was, she forced herself to put those photos in the envelope, and then got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, and then stood in front of the maid and said with a smile: "The thing has fallen, I'll pick it up." ”

Then she handed the envelope back to the maid, who subconsciously glanced at her before reaching out to take it with a trembling hand.

Wang Zhizhi didn't stay in it for long, and soon she walked out again, and as soon as she left, the maid quickly opened the envelope, and found that all the photos inside were folded, she frowned, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only stuff those photos back into the envelope.

In the evening, Mu Jingchi came back from outside, and when he returned to the study, the maid quickly walked up to him and called, "Sir." ”

Mu Jingchi hummed dullly, his body was not very comfortable, so he coughed in a low voice, walked towards the desk not far away, just sat down, his eyes fell on a sealed kraft bag document in front of him, with the words "Presidential Palace" pasted on it, he stretched out his hand and took the document, and after taking out some information from the kraft bag, the maid whispered on the side at this time: "It was sent by the presidential palace this morning, saying that you must look at it today and reply to the presidential palace." ”

Mu Jingchi kept frowning and looking at it for a long time, and then he asked casually: "Mo Bai, how's it." ”

As soon as the maid Xiaoxiu'er heard Mu Jingchi's question, she hurriedly said: "Mo Bai is recuperating at home, I'm afraid it will ......."

The maid's words hesitated, Mu Jingchi looked up, and Xiao Xiu'er hurriedly explained: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the study to serve in the past few days, and I will have to recuperate for a few days." ”

Mu Jingchi twisted his eyebrows and said, "There are more and more rules." Then, he threw the papers on the table.

I don't know who that sentence is talking about.

Not long after, his eyes fell on the envelope on the table again, and he asked again, "Who has come into the study?" ”

Ya Xiaoxiu'er knew that the problem was coming, so she stammered a little and said, "Today, morning, husband, and wife, come in to send you documents, and come in once." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't speak, but picked up the envelope, Xiao Xiu'er was terrified on the side, and sure enough, Mu Jingchi opened the envelope in the next second and took the photo out of the envelope.

Xiao Xiu'er looked at his reaction very nervously, but Xiao Xiu'er waited for a while, and did not wait for Mu Jingchi's reaction to come, he saw the crease on the head, but calmly stuffed the photo back, and then asked Xiao Xiu'er to bring the candle flame, and then burned all the things in the envelope not far away, in the brazier that burned some materials.

Those pictures were quickly engulfed by the flames, and after a while, they were surrounded by flames, and the face with a slight hint of intelligence in the eyebrows and eyes would soon be swallowed by the flames and turned into a pile of ugly black ashes.

Xiao Xiu'er thought that she had passed this level, and she was temporarily relieved in her heart, but her thought had just flashed in her heart for a second, and Mu Jingchi, who had extinguished the candle, asked again: "Who took the study this morning?" ”

Xiao Xiu'er's heart tightened, and she immediately said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, Xiaolan." ”

Mu Jingchi said: "Drag it down, and the rod will be killed." ”

Xiao Xiu'er's whole body softened, and she knelt directly on the ground, and she called: "Sir." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't even look at her, and continued to deal with the business on the table and said five words: "Useless things." ”

Xiao Xiu'er didn't even dare to say what she pleaded for, she only dared to tremble and kneel there, and it didn't take long for someone to walk in from outside the study, it was Chen Guohong, the newly appointed permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Vice Minister Chen came.

When she came in again, Chen Guohong was already sitting on the sofa, talking to Mu Jingchi, talking about the situation on the other side of Japan.

In the past two years, there have been frequent frictions between Jinling and the other side, and both parties have the intention of repairing the relationship between the two sides, so Chen Guohong has been stationed at the Japanese Embassy for the past two years.

This year, because of something, I came back.

Chen Guohong came this time to talk to Mu Jingchi about the attitude of the Japanese side towards Jinling, Mu Jingchi listened carefully, the situation is not very good, but the situation is not very bad, Mu Jingchi almost expected this situation.

Chen Guohong said: "At the beginning, the Japanese army in order to compete with us for Chunyang Island in the south, we have met many times, and now the Japanese side is still unwilling to give in to Chunyang Island, but does not want to use force to solve, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties and troubles on both sides, so there is an attempt to repair the relationship between the two sides, but our side, the ownership of Chunyang Island, is not going to retreat, the Japanese side also expressed its mind that will never give in to this Chunyang Island, several times around the bend to ask us, if there is any other way to negotiate. The gist of this discussion, but I still hope that we will make concessions, and now the two sides are in contact, as for how the situation will develop, I asked President Huo, and President Huo said let me come and ask you. ”

Mu Jingchi sat there drinking tea and did not speak, while Chen Guohong waited for his speech.

After a long time, he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "My answer to the land is, not an inch of land." ”

Chen Guohong looked at Mu Jingchi in amazement, and asked for a long time: "Do you mean that there is no need to discuss?" ”

Mu Jingchi covered his lips with a handkerchief, coughed twice in a low voice, and said, "There is no need to discuss, because there is nothing to discuss." ”

Chen Guohong understood what Mu Jingchi meant, pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of something, he immediately said to Mu Jingchi: "Sir, have you received any news from Miss Lu at this time?" ”

The three words of Miss Lu have long become a taboo in the Lu family, basically no one dares to say it in front of Mu Jingchi, sure enough, Mu Jingchi put the handkerchief down, but soon, he slowly put the handkerchief down, and asked lightly: "What's wrong." ”

Chen Guohong said: "I met her once, at the consulate, when she was receiving a group of officials from Europe. ”

Mu Jing sighed, but didn't ask more, still drinking tea there, moistening his voice.

Chen Guohong said: "However, she seems to have been in trouble recently, it seems that something happened at home, and she needs a lot of money, and now she is not only taking over the work of interpreter at the consulate, but also taking over the work outside in private, I asked her if she needs to borrow money, and at that time ......" Chen Guohong said this but smiled awkwardly and said: "It may be because of my relationship with you, she ignored my words, ignored me directly, and left in front of me, which embarrassed me for a while." ”
