Xiao Zheng picked a fairly elegant cafe near the State Guest Building. It was not big, but it had a bourgeois atmosphere. In the corner by the window sat a young woman dressed like a Mori girl. She was holding a computer, her legs bent, and her slender fingers tapping on the keyboard. It was a beautiful scene.
Xiao Zheng ordered two cups of coffee, took a sip, and asked, "Look at her, and then look at yourself. You wear a military uniform at work, and you also dress meticulously after work. You don't have any personal style. "
"This is my style." Jiang Qing was sulking. She did not give Xiao Zheng any face.
Xiao Zheng put down the coffee cup and said with a smile, "Are you still worried about what happened just now?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Qing said coldly. "I was the one who recommended you to Minister Gong. Now you are putting on airs here. How am I going to explain it to Minister Gong? "
"Are you familiar with her?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Not really. But because of work, we have met a few times, "Jiang Qing explained.
"Then what are you afraid of?" Xiao Zheng said unhappily. "You and I are old comrades who have gone through fire and water, right? You are so partial to her. Don't you think about my feelings at all? "
"What feelings can you have?" Jiang Qing asked. "This doesn't seem to have any disadvantages for you, right?"
From Jiang Qing's point of view, it could indeed be considered so. One had to know that such an opportunity to accompany a big shot and smoothly enter the top management. Not everyone had the right to do so. Otherwise, how could a cleaner in Zhongnanhai be so popular?
But now that she sat down and calmed down, Jiang Qing was not as anxious as before. She believed in Xiao Zheng's character. A businessman who was willing to spend 500 million a year to support the Long Formation would not be a black-hearted businessman. Moreover, in the anti-terrorist operation, Xiao Zheng was the leading figure. It was because of his wise leadership that the anti-terrorist operation could be carried out so smoothly.
The reason why Jiang Qing was sulking was not because she was dissatisfied with Xiao Zheng's decision. But in her opinion, Xiao Zheng would definitely agree. There was no room for hesitation.
If one's expectations for a person were too high, it was inevitable that one would feel a little depressed when one suddenly failed to meet one's expectations.
Xiao Zheng smiled. He glanced at Jiang Qing and said, "Then, do you know what the current situation is in the Tokyo Imperial Palace?"
"How would I know?" Jiang Qing said casually.
"Then do you know the purpose of Princess Ling La's visit to China?" Xiao Zheng continued to ask.
"It should be because of mutual benefits," Jiang Qing replied.
"With her status, she doesn't stay in the State Guesthouse, but in the State Guest Building. Don't you think it's strange? "Xiao Zheng continued to ask.
"It's probably a cover-up," Jiang Qing explained. "After all, our relationship with Tokyo has never been very friendly."
"I give you my word of honor. Hua Xia must have promised some benefits to Princess Ling La. In turn, Princess Ling La will do something for Hua Xia — "Xiao Zheng said meaningfully. "It's just that they won't reveal the details to outsiders."
"What does that have to do with what we are doing?" Jiang Qing was puzzled. "We are only responsible for her safety in Hua Xia."
"It doesn't matter to you. After a few days, you can just leave. "Xiao Zheng curled his lips. "I'm different."
"Huh?" Jiang Qing was puzzled. "Are you afraid that Princess Ling La will pester you?"
Xiao Zheng could not help but laugh. "I'm not a handsome guy. But I can't guarantee that she really has plans in this regard. "
Why did Prince Ling Lai come to visit Huaxia at this critical moment instead of later or earlier? There was only one reason. The competition between her and Crown Prince Tian Xiong had reached an inevitable point.
Siyan had also informed him that Princess Ling La needed his help. As for what it was — Xiao Zheng could guess even with his toes.
So in Xiao Zheng's opinion, Department Head Gong invited him to join. It was Princess Ling La's intention. And — it couldn't be as simple as accompanying her for three days.
Since it was obviously not a good job. How could Xiao Zheng be so stupid as to plunge into it?
Hundreds of people waiting for Xiao Zheng to eat was just an excuse. However, the current Xiao Zheng wasn't someone who would rush headlong into everything without thinking. That was a reckless man who only knew how to use knives and guns.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. As Xiao Zheng's status continued to rise. He could not be as unscrupulous as he used to be. Whether others asked him for help or he helped others. It was not a deal of a few hundred or a few thousand. It was something that could easily have a huge impact. It could not be done just based on his preferences.
It sounded very unscrupulous and unscrupulous. But this was the reality.
In the last anti-terrorist operation, he had almost lost his reputation. If it wasn't for Lord Ye's help. His reputation was destined to take a long time to recover slowly. During this long period of time, other than being greatly affected by his own body, he was not the only one who was greatly affected. It would also implicate Xin Ao and even the people around him.
And this time, it seemed that he was doing something for the country. It was even a diplomatic operation. But Xiao Zheng had a choice.
He could choose not to do it!
Don't always think about what Xiao Zheng would do for others. Not because he was righteous and fastidious, he could ask for endless things from him.
Think about what he could do for Xiao Zheng first.
Jiang Qing sorted out his thoughts and looked up at Xiao Zheng, "You just told me that you will definitely agree to Department Head Gong?"
"You can say that." Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded.
"But you didn't tell Department Head Gong." Jiang Qing asked tentatively.
"Nonsense. If I show my trump card, how can I negotiate? "Xiao Zheng curled his lips and said.
"You want to negotiate with Department Head Gong?" Jiang Qing twitched the corner of his mouth. "She is in the diplomatic field. And she is an expert among experts. "
Xiao Zheng took a sip of coffee, pursed his lips and smiled, "Then let's wait and see. Anyway, I don't want to do things that are strenuous and unrewarding. "
"I know you are not such an unscrupulous person." Jiang Qing shook his head and said. "But why did you choose to do this?"
"Whether I am unscrupulous or not is a matter of opinion." Xiao Zheng smiled and said. "I have done my best for you. Shouldn't you give me some compensation? After all, not only am I not an idle person, but I also have a pile of mess waiting to be dealt with. "
"Chang Yishan?" Jiang Qing asked curiously. She seemed to be deep in thought.
"You know him?" Xiao Zheng was surprised.
"Yes." Jiang Qing nodded lightly and did not say anything more.
In fact, at this moment, she also realized that she was a little reckless.
As Xiao Zheng said, he himself had a pile of mess to deal with. And she was still putting pressure on him.
Why?
Why did Xiao Zheng help her?
Why did he still throw himself into it when he knew that it was a hard job and there was no benefit?
No one's energy was unlimited. If it was consumed, it needed to be replenished. But what if the enemy was ready to attack at this time?
Wouldn't that be pushing Xiao Zheng into the fire pit?
In the years that Jiang Qing and Xiao Zheng had known each other, it had always been Xiao Zheng who volunteered to help her, help the Long Formation, and even serve the country. He never asked for anything in return. But now, it was the critical moment in his confrontation with Chang Yishan. But she still had to trouble him and harass him. He could promise to help, but he wanted to think about it again. She was angry with him and did not understand him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qing looked at Xiao Zheng guiltily and said, "I'm sorry, I ignored your feelings."
Xiao Zheng grinned and called the waiter to order food.
After ordering a lot of food, he looked up at Jiang Qing and said, "You pay."
