This is the president's way of targeting them.
In front of everyone, he wants Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao to take a stand.
Do they dare to refuse the president? In front of so many big shots?
If they refuse, it is not only not giving the president face, but also not giving the US face.
In anyone's eyes, this is unbearable.
Does Xiao Zheng dare to do it?
Does Lin Laoyao dare to do it?
In the beginning, Xiao Zheng planned to take a roundabout way. At least he showed his attitude and didn't remain silent like Lin Laoyao.
But this time, Xiao Zheng doesn't know how to respond to the president.
That was because the President's question was a little too sharp. No matter how Xiao Zheng answers, he will either offend himself and help the president. Or offend the president to make his life a little more comfortable.
This is a difficult problem to satisfy both sides.
After listening to the president's words, the crowd also waited with interest for the response of the two Hua Xia giants.
They would compromise for the sake of the President. Or –
Based on Gandalf's understanding of Xiao Zheng, this young man isn't too sharp. At least before stepping on his bottom line, he can negotiate peacefully with anyone.
At this moment, did the president step on Xiao Zheng's bottom line? Gandalf isn't sure. He only knows that the president is indeed targeting Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao. As for the rest, it's up to Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao to judge for themselves.
In the end, this so-called private party is actually prepared for Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao. Whether it's Gandalf or Justin. Even Lu Xi, who was the second generation of an official and a legitimate descendant of a powerful minister, was not the focus of this gathering.
So – how will Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao respond?
Everyone is looking forward to it.
"Mr. President is right. From your point of view, you do wish for the world to be at peace." After Xiao Zheng said that, he suddenly changed the topic and slowly said. "But has this world ever been peaceful? Who didn't fight and fight for their own interests? As for the so-called peace, I don't think it exists. Natural selection, survival of the fittest. The principle of the jungle was always the mainstream. Isn't it? "
Xiao Zheng had turned the tables on the president.
You want peace. You don't want Lin Laoyao and me to blow things up in New York. It would be best if you could just get out of New York and go back to your own turf.
However … The United States was allowed to show off to the rest of the world. Can't we borrow New York's territory to do our own private affairs?
That wasn't fair.
After his private warning was ineffective, the President purposely set up this Hongmen Banquet to make Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao state their stance in public. He asked them to give a satisfactory answer to the President.
This was a little like bullying.
It seemed that he was not giving face to Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao.
Once the two of them relented, or rather, gave in due to His Excellency the President's might. Then how could the two of them gain a foothold in the world in the future?
Of course, some people might say that the influence of the two of them was so great that even His Excellency the President was afraid of them. He had to come out and suppress them in person.
But on the other hand, once he opened the door, whatever Xiao Zheng wanted to do in the future, someone would probably come out to coordinate. Or — suppress.
It was the same both at home and abroad.
The thing that made Xiao Zheng unhappy the most was that even Elder Hu had never been so unyielding. Why did His Excellency the President do that?
Was Xiao Zheng really so susceptible to persuasion and cowardice?
That's not it.
This was already the last battle of Xiao Zheng's life. Even his family couldn't stop it, let alone His Excellency the President.
After listening to Xiao Zheng's explanation, the President couldn't help showing a touch of displeasure on his face.
He heard Xiao Zheng's subtext.
He also knew that Xiao Zheng wouldn't give him face.
His face was a little ugly, but he still turned his head and looked at Lin Laoyao.
After all, Xiao Zheng was young. Young people were easy to be impulsive and rash. He might not know what kind of blow he would suffer if he offended the President.
After all, Lin Laoyao was no longer young. He had even reached the age of retirement. He should know which was more important, shouldn't he?
The President said meaningfully, "Boss Lin, what do you think?" It was a little threatening.
"Boring." Lin Laoyao shook his head lightly and suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand. Then he slowly stood up and said. "I just wanted to come over and taste the cooking of the White House. But now it seems that the taste is average and the environment is not very ideal. "
"Sir, I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave first." Old Monster Lin said casually. "Thank you for your hospitality. If you have a chance, come to Yan Jing. I'll treat you. "
After that, Lin Laoyao left the seat blatantly. He walked out of the White House.
This —
Everyone at the scene was so shocked that their hair stood on end.
No one knew that Lin Laoyao would be so rude to the President. He was even more domineering and overbearing than Xiao Zheng.
At that moment, Lu Xi finally understood why Lin Laoyao was called Lin Laoyao. Indeed, he was a monster. An extremely eccentric and terrifying existence.
Lu Xi certainly knew that Lin Laoyao dared to leave not because he was impulsive, but because he had absolute confidence. So where did his confidence come from?
Lu Xi didn't know much about this.
After all, the Zhao family was not a stranger to Lu Xi. But he didn't know that the Zhao family had become a card in Lin Laoyao's hand.
It could even be said that with the power that Lin Laoyao currently had. He was fully deserving of the title of the most powerful person in the world.
The powerful Lin family.
The terrifying Zhao family.
These were all trump cards that Lin Laoyao could use. With these two cards, Lin Laoyao could indeed not give face to the President. And the President also couldn't do anything to him.
Lin Laoyao's departure made the President extremely embarrassed.
But Xiao Zheng's next move made the President's face suddenly change. His eyes were bloodshot.
"Mr. President. Thank you for your hospitality. I'm full. "
With that, Xiao Zheng also got up and left his seat.
Was he full?
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that other than the glass of wine that Xiao Zheng drank before, he didn't even touch his chopsticks. How could he be full?
Obviously, Xiao Zheng had no appetite to eat.
As soon as the two left, the President couldn't sit still.
He suddenly stood up and said with a livid face: "Not giving me face!"
Leaving behind these meaningful words, the president also left angrily. Even Gandalf and the other Wall Street tycoons had no interest in socializing.
It was no wonder that the departure of Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao was a slap to the President's face.
If he could still sit at the table with a forced smile, then he would be shameless.
But everyone present knew that the grudge between the father and son-in-law and the President was completely formed!
