In less than three minutes, Siyan called.
"Brother, I got the number. But it's a bit scary. "Siyan's tone was apprehensive as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Go ahead." Xiao Zheng smiled. "Who else can scare your Brother Siyan?"
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Siyan said concisely. "The phone call just now was from the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs."
"— —" Xiao Zheng didn't ask for more details. Instead, he wondered if he had committed treason. After confirming that he was still a patriot, he let out a sigh of relief. "Did you get it wrong?"
"It's impossible." Siyan said with a wry smile. "It's impossible to change the phone number of such a department."
After a pause, Siyan asked curiously, "Brother. Did you accidentally sleep with a leader's daughter? "
"Get lost."
Xiao Zheng hung up the phone and sat on the chair. After a moment of silence, he decided to go alone.
Since it was a senior official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Then his safety should be guaranteed. Xiao Zheng's current status was not low. He didn't want to drink tea with Marx too early. He lived in fear every day. He was afraid of being hit by a car when he crossed the road.
After notifying Xiao Taohong, Xiao Zheng went to the parking lot to get his car and went straight to the State Guest Building.
The State Guest Building was located in the city. From the outside, it didn't look very special and it wasn't hard to find. Xiao Zheng drove for less than twenty minutes and stopped in front of the State Guest Building.
"Mr. Xiao?"
As soon as he got out of the car, a middle-aged man in a suit greeted him. He looked dignified. Steady and calm.
"It's me. You are — — "Xiao Zheng shook hands with him politely.
"You may not know me. However, I've heard of your great name before, "the middle-aged man introduced himself. "My name is Li Lei. I work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "
Sure enough, it was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "You're too polite. The position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hua Xia is unquestionable. "
"It's just a verbal protest, right?" Li Lei joked.
Xiao Zheng laughed involuntarily. This guy was really good at making fun of himself.
"Enough chit-chat. Department Head Gong is waiting for you upstairs. "Li Lei stepped aside and extended his hand. "Mr Xiao, please go upstairs."
Xiao Zheng nodded and didn't stand on ceremony.
After entering the elevator, Li Lei pressed the button for the top floor. Ten seconds later, the elevator door slowly opened with a ding. The two of them walked out one after another and headed straight for the designated location.
"Mr Xiao. Please go in. I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first, "Li Lei said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng's heart became even heavier when he heard this.
Even someone of Li Lei's level couldn't participate? It seemed like the situation was bigger than he had imagined. It was also highly confidential.
Dong dong.
Xiao Zheng knocked on the door. They waited in silence.
A few seconds later, the door slowly opened. The person who opened the door gave Xiao Zheng a huge shock.
"It's you?" Xiao Zheng asked in disbelief.
Jiang Qing was as stiff and cold as ever, but a hint of surprise flashed across her cold and elegant face. "Come in."
Then he stepped aside.
As soon as Xiao Zheng entered the room, he realized it was a suite.
It was very spacious. There were three floors inside and outside. Reception area, work area, and rest area. The area was about a hundred square meters.
As soon as he entered the room, a man and a woman sitting on the sofa in the reception area stood up and greeted him.
"Mr Xiao, I've heard a lot about you." The middle-aged woman smiled. She looked very friendly.
Xiao Zheng shook hands with her and smiled. "You were the one on the phone just now?"
"Yes." The middle-aged woman nodded and smiled. "I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Gong. I work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "
"Nice to meet you, Department Head Gong."
Li Lei had mentioned this before. Xiao Zheng remembered the other party's identity.
Deputy Department Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was a deputy minister level official. Moreover, he was the kind of person who was a deputy minister on the surface, but in reality, even the big shots at the ministerial level would give him face.
Why?
Because every minister of foreign affairs was a close confidant of the leader of the government. Even in the early days of the People's Republic, the first minister of foreign affairs was directly appointed by Premier Zhou.
It was the most important department with real power.
A deputy minister level official wanted to meet him in person. It was not hard to imagine how important it was.
Everyone chatted for a while and then took their seats. Minister Gong and the middle-aged man sat on one side, while Jiang Qing naturally sat on the other side with Xiao Zheng.
"Mr Xiao. We've heard a lot about you. We've also seen you on TV. "Minister Gong smiled.
"You're being too serious." Xiao Zheng bowed and said with a curious expression. "Do you have any instructions for me to meet here?"
He didn't dare to be careless. After all, he was a deputy minister level official in a department with real power. They didn't know each other well, and it was their first meeting. Xiao Zheng understood the saying "the bird that sticks out" when he was a soldier. But he didn't change …
"Mr Xiao is a well-known businessman. We don't dare to order you. "Minister Gong shook her head with a Smile. "But there is one thing I need Mr Xiao's help with."
"Please go ahead." Xiao Zheng smiled. "As long as it's within my power. I won't refuse. "
Jiang Qing heard the words, but said very calmly, "You can definitely help."
Xiao Zheng glanced at Jiang Qing and thought to himself, "It looks like you sold me out this time, right?"
Jiang Qing saw the doubt in Xiao Zheng's eyes, but she didn't respond directly. She just said slowly, "Because of the seriousness of the situation, everything about this operation is classified as a first-class secret."
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 first."
Xiao Zheng didn't refuse. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had given him a reliable signal. Not to mention the involvement of Jiang Qing. Xiao Zheng was even more relieved.
Look, Xiao Zheng was so kind. He didn't even understand the situation, but he signed it. Maybe he would be sold and still count the money with a smile.
After signing the agreement, Xiao Zheng looked up and asked, "What's going on?"
Minister Gong explained, "We are receiving an important guest. Because of some personal reasons, we hope that Mr Xiao will accompany us the whole time. The time is three days. Captain Jiang will be responsible for security issues. "
"What important person needs Long Formation to personally protect?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
Jiang Qing glanced at Xiao Zheng and said word by word, "Perhaps others don't know much about this person, but I know a lot about him. But Mr Xiao definitely knows him. Not only do they know each other, but they should be old acquaintances. "
His words were full of thorns. In addition, Xiao Zheng and Jiang Qing had a few common experiences. He quickly inferred the identity of this important guest.
"The distinguished guest is from Tokyo?" Xiao Zheng tentatively asked.
Hearing this, Minister Gong smiled slightly and complimented, "Mr Xiao really has a clever heart."
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Minister Gong, you flatter me. Captain Jiang has already reminded me. If I still can't guess it, I will definitely be humiliated by Captain Jiang. "
Who was it?
It was the Princess Ling La who competed with Crown Prince Tian Xiong!
