Justin traveled a long way and didn't sleep all night, plus he was worried about his daughter's safety. His face clearly showed his exhaustion. Although he still looked full of the temperament and spirit of a superior. But the exhaustion in the depths of his eyes was seen through by Xiao Zheng.
After all, no matter how strong he was and how rich he was, in addition to his identity as a businessman, he still had the identity of a father. And he was also a qualified father.
Hearing the subtext of his daughter's phone call, Justin immediately put down everything in his hands and flew for more than ten hours to Hua Xia. His purpose was to bring his daughter back to New York safely.
Of course, from another perspective, it was also because this time it involved too many people, and the target was the richest man in Hua Xia, Lin Laoyao. Even if he personally came forward, it would be very difficult. He couldn't just send a subordinate to solve the problem.
"Boss Xiao is the one who is famous. A rising star. I also wanted to meet Boss Xiao for a long time, but I never had the honor, "Justin said in pure English.
These words seemed to have the intention of elevating Xiao Zheng. With Justin's identity and status, no matter how strong Xiao Zheng was, he couldn't reach Justin's height for the time being.
A simple conversation could show that Justin didn't have full confidence in taking Kalida back. Therefore, he could only express goodwill to Xiao Zheng and take the roundabout route to save the country.
In fact, before Justin came to Hua Xia, he had already used his connections and contacted all the people who could play a role in this matter. Big shots. And the first phone call Justin made was from Minister Gong, the ambassador he had only met a few times. After the latter briefly understood Justin's description of the problem, although he didn't make an obvious bureaucratic statement, he also showed a certain degree of difficulty. He only said that he would understand the specific situation from his colleagues in China and try to help Justin alleviate the problem.
In the end, Minister Gong changed the topic and mentioned Xiao Zheng who was in Yan Jing on the phone.
"If you want to solve this matter satisfactorily, Xiao Zheng is your best assistant."
This was Minister Gong's original words. It also increased Xiao Zheng's position in Justin's heart.
Xiao Zheng and Department Head Gong had deep cooperation, and they had established a good personal relationship. At the previous farewell party, Xiao Zheng had a private conversation with Minister Gong that lasted for half an hour. After chatting for a long time, it was clear that both of them were in a win-win situation. Business and politics were inseparable, especially in Hua Xia, where the economy was rapidly developing. What's more, Xiao Zheng had the Tokyo resources that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs valued very much. Minister Gong, the pioneer of this matter, not only had a personal friendship with Xiao Zheng, but he also represented the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs in maintaining a good relationship with Xiao Zheng.
So far, the Kalida incident hadn't risen to the political level, let alone international diplomacy. As long as it was covered up, it could be reduced to a small matter. Therefore, Department Head Gong turned his attention to Xiao Zheng, trying his best to help him fight for benefits. He could also get to know a Wall Street tycoon like Justin.
After the three of them took their seats, Xiao Zheng instructed the waiter to open three bottles of Maotai. Then, he raised his glass and said, "Mr. Justin. I don't know if you're used to drinking our Hua Xia wine. I'll drink first as a sign of respect. "
After that, he drank it in one gulp. He took the lead.
One glass, two ounces. It wasn't much for Xiao Zheng. With Justin's alcohol tolerance, even if the Maotai was high in alcohol, there was no problem. It was just that he didn't sleep all night and had a long journey. His stomach was empty. This glass of two ounces of liquor was really uncomfortable for his stomach.
But considering that he did trick Xiao Zheng before, it could be considered as an apology.
After drinking a glass of wine, the three people ate and chatted. Justin didn't go straight to the point because of his face. Xiao Zheng was also happy to see this situation, but he kept urging them to eat and drink. In less than half an hour, the bottle of Maotai was finished.
Just as Xiao Zheng waved to the waiter to serve more wine, Justin complained in his heart and stopped, "Boss Xiao. I have something to ask of you. When I'm done, how about I accompany you to drink? "
How can you drink like this?
My business hasn't been resolved yet. I don't intend to let you drink until I'm drunk!
Justin was also bitter but couldn't say it out loud. But it wasn't until now that he truly understood how much influence Xiao Zheng had in Hua Xia. Even the ambassador to the United States held him in high esteem. It seemed that Chang Yishan, whom he was very optimistic about before, was really a long way behind him.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he put down his glass very politely and said with a solemn face, "Mr. Justin, if you have something to say, just say it. You are an honored guest, so I will definitely follow the guest's wishes."
Justin thought to himself: I don't see any intention of following the guest's wishes.
But now Kalida's safety was the first priority, and he didn't want to get entangled in these small matters. He paused, pursed his lips and said, "I believe Mr. Xiao has already heard about my daughter Kalida —"
"It's not just heard." Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled. "I witnessed everything. And I personally sent Kalida to the Lin family. "
You want to overlook my credit? What an old fox!
When Justin heard this, he was in awe, "Then I really have to thank Boss Xiao for his great kindness!"
These words were a bit pretentious, but they weren't hypocritical. After all, Justin had only heard about the whole thing so far. With his influence in Beijing, it wasn't enough to quickly restore the truth. Of course, he wouldn't easily believe the words of others.
At this moment, when he heard Xiao Zheng say this, he felt a bit grateful in his heart.
After all, his daughter came to Hua Xia this time to retaliate against Xiao Zheng. But Xiao Zheng was still able to return good for evil. Even if there were other factors involved, it also proved that this person was really not simple. He also had an extremely keen view of the overall situation. He knew how to put himself in the most advantageous position.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be the one begging him for this meal, but the two of them would be thinking about how to get out of this predicament.
Thinking of this, Justin was more and more convinced that Xiao Zheng could help him solve this matter. His heart paused, he let go of his guard, pursed his lips and said, "Boss Xiao, I know that your company has to comply with the national policy and vigorously develop the overseas market. In this regard, I can contribute my meager strength! "
His meager strength was extremely important in the eyes of countless people on Wall Street. Not to mention the Xin Ao Group in Hua Xia.
This was a statement, and also an exchange of interests. He only asked Xiao Zheng to help him settle this matter. Settle — Lin Laoyao?
It sounded a bit unbelievable, but for now, the only one qualified to help Justin was Xiao Zheng.
After all, this person was not only the business leader of Hua Xia, but also the son-in-law of Lin Laoyao —
With a smile, Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and sighed, "Mr. Justin, perhaps you still don't know about my relationship with Boss Lin, right?"
"I know." Justin thought that Xiao Zheng wanted him to add some chips. Before he could finish, he saw Xiao Zheng shake his head with a look of regret.
"Mr. Justin, you misunderstood. I'm not trying to loot a burning house. Rather — "Xiao Zheng said helplessly. "I may be the person in the world who is most disliked by Boss Lin. Even though I'm his son-in-law. "
Hearing this, Justin's mood instantly fell to the bottom!
