Shang Yao was a very opinionated woman. As long as she set her mind on something, no one would object. For example, forming an alliance with Xiao Zheng. Whether it was Shang Jingtian's obstruction or Yan Shichang's opposition, Shang Yao didn't give up because of it.
On the contrary, after she grasped the power, the first thing she did was to connect the heaven and earth line and cooperate with Xiao Zheng for the second time.
She admired Xiao Zheng very much. She also had a deep understanding of Xiao Zheng's ability.
It could be said that the reason why she could be where she was today, even if Xiao Zheng didn't give her decisive help, she had received great grace from Xiao Zheng in many key steps. For this, Shang Yao was very grateful.
Therefore, no matter what others thought of Xiao Zheng, Shang Yao never wavered from her original intention of cooperating with Xiao Zheng.
Facing Shang Yao's straightforward words, Xiao Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "I was busy chatting just now, so Miss Shang didn't have time to eat. Let's talk while eating? "
Hearing this, Shang Yao immediately saw that Xiao Zheng didn't vent his anger on her because of the Yan Family's matter. She was delighted and nodded, saying, "Please."
After returning to the private room, Shang Yao personally poured a glass of Maotai for Xiao Zheng and raised it, saying, "Mr. Xiao, a toast to you."
"You're welcome." Xiao Zheng drank it in one gulp and put down the glass. "In fact, you didn't have to look for me through Princess Ling La."
Hearing this, Shang Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. But she didn't regret it.
She had indeed paid a big price to see Xiao Zheng through Princess Ling La. But this was the safest and safest way. Another way?
Who knew if she could see Xiao Zheng.
After all, the current Yan Family and Xiao Zheng were no longer as calm as they looked on the surface. They had shed all pretense of cordiality.
"Princess Ling La is my old classmate. There is a mutually beneficial relationship between me and her. If he suffered a loss this time, he would earn more next time. It doesn't matter. "Shang Yao revealed her relationship with Princess Ling La. He had no intention of showing off.
In terms of closeness, Xiao Zheng and Princess Ling La were the closest, right?
Shang Yao might not know everything about the negotiations between Princess Ling La and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, there was no need for Princess Ling La to show up at a dinner party like today. She only showed up because of Xiao Zheng. As for what he promised Xiao Zheng, and what did Xiao Zheng give back to him? That was not something Shang Yao could understand.
The dinner that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not invite was invited by Xiao Zheng. Along with some benefits provided by Shang Yao —
Could it be that the terms offered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were not as good as those offered by Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao?
However, Princess Ling La chose to have this dinner with Xiao Zheng instead of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
What was it for?
For the friendship with Xiao Zheng!
Xiao Zheng smiled and slowly ate a mouthful of food. "Is everything okay at home?"
He was asking about the Yan Family.
There had been no news from the Yan Family these days. Xiao Zheng was inevitably curious.
However, since Shang Yao was already in charge of the Yan Family, Yan Shichang must have retreated behind the scenes and stopped caring about the world.
"Everything is fine." Shang Yao nodded with a smile and said. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao."
"Concern?" Xiao Zheng smiled mysteriously. "I say, Miss Shang, aren't you being too hypocritical?"
Shang Yao smiled and didn't continue the conversation.
It was indeed hypocritical of her to say that. The relationship between the two parties had not reached the point of mutual concern. It was already giving face that she did not kill the other party.
Xiao Zheng's question was, of course, to inquire about the situation of the Yan Family. Shang Yao only needed to finish the first half of the sentence. There was no need to add fuel to the fire. She thanked Xiao Zheng.
The two chatted for a while. Shang Yao did not take the initiative to mention the cooperation again. Because she could see Xiao Zheng's attitude.
What attitude?
He did not hate him, nor did he want to be too close to him.
However, this was a good attitude for Shang Yao.
It was a cooperation. The first time, the second. As long as Xiao Zheng did not hate Shang Yao, she would find a way to slowly get closer to Xiao Zheng. Until they became allies again.
Of course, she did not think that Xiao Zheng was being careless. After all, he had suffered losses from Shang Yao. No matter how careless Xiao Zheng was, he would not be unprepared.
"It's getting late." Xiao Zheng stood up and said with a smile.
"Mm." Shang Yao also stood up. With a smile.
Although she still wanted to chat with Xiao Zheng for a while longer, it would be best if they could have dinner together. However, she also understood that being too hasty would only have the opposite effect. She simply stretched out her delicate arm and shook hands with Xiao Zheng. "Mr Xiao, shall we meet again next time?"
"Mm." Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and said. "Take care, Miss Shang."
He watched as Shang Yao went out. Xiao Zheng turned back and kept the documents on the table. Only then did he stroll out of the door slowly.
However, he did not leave the Longfeng House. Instead, he walked directly to the VIP room on the top floor.
This negotiation was handled by Xiao Zheng personally. Department Head Gong only provided information behind the scenes. However, Department Head Gong paid a great deal of attention to this negotiation. Therefore, under Xiao Zheng's arrangement, she rested in the VIP room on the top floor. She hoped to receive news and feedback as soon as possible.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Department Head Gong, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly came over. Jiang Qing, who was at the side, hesitated for a while with a straight face and also came over.
"Mr Xiao. How did it go? "Department Head Gong asked impatiently.
There was wine and food in the VIP room. Although Department Head Gong had been hungry for a day, it was just a simple meal. She did not even dare to drink too much water, for fear that she would miss the opportunity to go to the bathroom.
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng just handed all the contracts in his hand to Department Head Gong. "Successfully completed the task."
Department Head Gong excitedly opened those documents. After making sure that Princess Ling La had signed on them, she excitedly held Xiao Zheng's hand. "Thank you so much, Mr Xiao."
Xiao Zheng said politely, "It's my duty."
What else could he say besides saying nice words now?
Xiao Zheng had always been polite even to government officials like Yu Fei, whom he had promoted himself. Now, he was talking to a high-ranking big shot of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs like Department Head Gong. How could he be arrogant?
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was a department directly under the State Council. Although the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this time was not a big shot of the State Council. But it could be foreseen that in the next change, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would inevitably enter the Politburo. Ranked at the level of a national leader.
Such a department with real power, and Department Head Gong was also the deputy minister in charge of Asian affairs. Xiao Zheng did not want to offend her no matter what.
This time, Department Head Gong's negotiation was successful. With the assistance of Xiao Zheng, it could be said that she had completed the task assigned by the higher-ups 200%. It would definitely be of great benefit to her career. Maybe in the next personnel transfer, the position of the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be her turn.
One had to know that this position was very popular, and it was the throne under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was not difficult for any deputy minister to get the title of a member of the Central Committee before retirement. In addition, Department Head Gong was less than fifty years old. If there were decisive political achievements in the future, she might be able to climb up again.
Therefore, Xiao Zheng's help this time was really crucial for Department Head Gong.
