Walking out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jiang Qing's mood was inexplicably heavy. The more polite the attitude of Minister Gong and other foreign ministers toward Xiao Zheng, the more uneasy Jiang Qing was.
For the first time, Yoto took the initiative to apologize. What did this mean? It meant that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had taken a historic step. And this step was a promise made by Princess Ling La to Xiao Zheng in private. It could even be said that it was a gift from Princess Ling La to Xiao Zheng!
This gift was too heavy!
It was so heavy that no one could bear it!
Standing on the national righteousness, she was very gratified and even excited. But from a personal point of view, from the point of view of Xiao Zheng's comrades — — she was very uneasy and guilty.
She knew that in order to get this private promise, Xiao Zheng must pay a terrible price.
But he was smiling.
Driving with a smile on his lips. His face was relaxed.
"Xiao Zheng." Jiang Qing slightly clenched his fists. He tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Zheng. "What did you talk about with Princess Ling La?"
"Some messy things," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"What are the specifics?" Jiang Qing asked. "Did she ask you to do something?"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"I think — —" Jiang Qing was tongue-tied and immediately sighed. "I kind of regret dragging you into this."
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Zheng's expression became calm. "This is a big thing that benefits the country and the people. At such an important moment, do you want to leave me and enjoy the glory alone? "
"Captain Jiang, aren't you being too selfish?" Xiao Zheng said meaningfully.
"Things that benefit the country and the people should all work together." Jiang Qing gently shook his head.
"Do you think that with my personal ability, I can make Princess Ling La make such a promise?" Xiao Zheng said with a relaxed expression. "Speaking of which, I'm at most a catalyst."
Jiang Qing still couldn't let it go. He pursed his lips and said, "But you became an important bargaining chip on the negotiation table. And this bargaining chip of yours was personally delivered by me. "
Jiang Qing felt extremely guilty.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to introduce Xiao Zheng, Department Head Gong might not have noticed Xiao Zheng's existence. If he hadn't dragged him along, Xiao Zheng wouldn't have gone so deep.
Yes. It was a historic moment in the history of diplomacy, which was beneficial to the country and its people. But why should Xiao Zheng bear the risk alone?
Jiang Qing was not stupid. As long as he used his brain a little, he could guess what kind of promise Xiao Zheng had made in return.
Help Princess Ling La fight for the throne?
Going to the meeting alone to ensure the safety of Princess Ling La?
Or, in the future, Xiao Zheng would need to exchange his life for this heavy apology.
"Xiao Zheng. If you need anything, the Long Formation will fully support you. General Qi will also fully support you. "Jiang Qing said eloquently. "As long as you give the order, hundreds of soldiers under my command will serve you at any time."
"Your words are too narrow-minded." Xiao Zheng shook his head and said in a deadpan manner. "Soldiers belong to the country and the people. The existence of the Long Formation is to protect the national security. Not to serve me personally. Captain Jiang, you are also a veteran. Why is your ideological awareness so low? "
Jiang Qing's expression was slightly stunned, and he said with a wry smile, "Yes. I did something that made me feel uneasy. But I want the whole Long Formation to atone for my sins. I am too selfish. "
"Captain Jiang." Xiao Zheng glanced at Jiang Qing and said in a low voice. "I think you are mistaken. Everything I did was for fame and wealth, to win the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Do you think I got involved in the muddy water for no reason? Do you think I did it unconditionally? "
"Are you stupid or am I stupid?" Xiao Zheng said with a serious look. "Will I, Xiao Zheng, make a losing deal?"
"Creak."
The car suddenly stopped. Xiao Zheng did not wait for Jiang Qing to answer. He opened the door first, but did not take the key out. He said lightly, "I will lend you the car first. Remember to fill up the gas later. "
After that, Xiao Zheng swaggered to the gate of the community. Jiang Qing was left alone in the passenger seat.
Xiao Zheng's words were just to comfort Jiang Qing. She was very clear about this. But so what? She had already dragged Xiao Zheng into the water. And it was very likely that he would face great risks.
And all this might not be done by him alone. But wasn't he playing the role of a middleman in this matter as well?
…
When he returned home, Lin Huayin was still watching TV. She sat quietly in the corner of the sofa with a perfect side profile. There was no deliberate sitting posture, no pretentious dialogue. She just asked, "Do you have anything to do tonight?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng changed into slippers and walked to Lin Huayin with a smile. "You really know how to enjoy yourself. There were desserts and fruit platters. Aren't you afraid of getting fat eating such high-calorie snacks in the middle of the night? "
"I practice boxing every night." Lin Huayin said.
"Practice less in the future." Xiao Zheng said worriedly. "Don't make your skin rough. Look at my hands — "
As he said that, he stretched out his hands in front of Lin Huayin.
A pair of big hands full of calluses. The length of the fingers was definitely not shorter than a pianist's fingers. But overall, it did not look slender at all.
Because the phalanges were too thick, the fingers were not slender. Layers of calluses were distributed unevenly around the fingers. It seemed that it could not be easily cut with a kitchen knife.
"This is the result of practicing boxing." Xiao Zheng said with an alarmist tone.
Lin Huayin's gaze fell on Xiao Zheng's hands. After a moment of silence, she slowly stretched out her slender and fair fingers and gently clasped Xiao Zheng's fingers. She carefully felt Xiao Zheng's rough hands. "It's not a bad thing for a man's hands to be rough."
"That's true." Xiao Zheng grinned. "But not for women. It won't look good if it's too rough. "
"I practice boxing to hit the air, not people." Lin Huayin pursed her lips. "It's fine."
After a pause, she took the initiative to ask, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat supper? "
"No." Xiao Zheng squeezed Lin Huayin's palm. "I have something to tell you. I have some personal matters to deal with these few days, so I may not have time to go back to the company. Help me explain at the regular meeting of the executives the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, the executives will think that I am arrogant and cocky. "
Lin Huayin nodded lightly and did not ask further. She said, "If you don't want to eat, then rest early. You haven't been sleeping well recently. "
Sleeping well. Because there were too many things to do and a heavy burden. Xiao Zheng's words were fearless. But in the face of a terrifying attack from a business genius like Chang Yishan. If it were anyone else, they would not take it lightly, right?
One had to know that he was a big shot on Wall Street. No matter how arrogant Xiao Zheng was, he did not dare to underestimate him.
If he lost, he would really have nothing.
Perhaps even the chance of a comeback was minuscule. It could only be like what Lin Huayin said, the so-called picturesque scenery was actually wandering the world and making the world his home …
