"I see …" Deputy Minister Feng lowered his head, a cunning glint in his eyes. "I can't guarantee that. You saw Major General Huo's temper just now. He's a soldier, not a diplomat, nor a member of the Secret Service. He really has no obligation to attend the reception. "
Gu Yanran was disappointed. "Forget it then. I really admire a young officer like Major General Huo. I originally wanted to set up a special military charity fund in your country, specifically for the compensation of soldiers who died in the line of duty and their families …"
Deputy Minister Feng's eyes lit up. He removed the pipe from his mouth. "Didn't you say you wanted to transfer half of your assets to our country? Then this charity fund …? "
"This charity fund is one of the projects that the Gu Corporation is currently discussing." Gu Yanran smiled and added, "Actually, we don't have to set up this charity fund in your country. There are many people from other countries who are interested. "
Although she was only 24 years old, she was very good at business and hit the nail on the head.
Deputy Minister Feng found that he couldn't refuse Gu Yanran's conditions again.
But he was still clear-headed and rational.
He couldn't make the decision on this matter.
"Don't worry, Miss Gu. I'll make sure to pass on this to my superiors and see what they think."
…
The three-day International Extraordinary Women's Awards Conference had come to an end. The last day was the closing ceremony and reception.
Apart from the delegates and organizers, there were also prominent figures from all walks of life in the Huaxia Empire.
Only the elites were able to get tickets.
Even the new spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bai Shuang, had come all the way from the Imperial Capital to attend the closing ceremony and reception.
She was also a special guest at the International Extraordinary Women's Awards Conference.
Not long ago, the Huaxia Empire's delegation had unexpectedly made a beautiful comeback at the International Telecommunications Conference. They had easily resolved a major international incident that was on the brink of failure, seized the opportunity to open up the Nandou System to the global market, and dug a huge pit for the arrogant Americans to fall into.
Unfortunately, the Americans had pushed Xin Xinggao out in the end to save face.
The 6th Military Region, led by Huo Shaoheng, had achieved an unexpected success on their first expedition to Europe. It had also truly made the 6th Military Region famous in the Huaxia Imperial Military.
At least in the entire Huaxia Empire, there was no longer any opposition to the establishment of the 6th Military Region.
And the one who gained the most from the whole incident was Bai Shuang, the spokesperson of the delegation on the stage.
After she returned to China, she was immediately promoted from the first secretary of the embassy in Austria to the Deputy Director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, becoming the new spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As the fastest promoted female official in the Huaxia Imperial government, Bai Shuang was also recognized by the International Extraordinary Women Awards Conference.
The closing ceremony was in the afternoon, and the cocktail party was in the evening.
When Bai Shuang came to the banquet, she was only wearing a light gray suit dress with simple lines. The tailoring was very fitting. It was handmade by an old tailor in the capital and was comparable to the custom-made versions of international famous brands.
The female politicians of other countries who attended the meeting all recognized Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang, the new spokesperson of the Huaxia Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had made a name for herself with her witty remarks at the International Telecommunications Conference. She had already become a role model for countless feminists around the world.
Bai Shuang held a glass of champagne and chatted cheerfully with these female politicians. She was very frank and generous.
The reception was held in the hall on the second floor of the exhibition center.
Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze stood on the balcony that extended from the hall on the second floor of the reception. They had no interest in listening to the chatter of the women.
Huo Shaoheng wasn't wearing his military uniform. Instead, he was wearing a luxurious black casual suit. The buttons on his chest were unbuttoned, revealing a white iron-free Egyptian cotton shirt underneath. His sleeves were rolled up, and his matching trousers were straight. He held a cigarette between his fingers as he leaned against the balcony railing, lost in thought.
Zhao Liangze was also wearing a light blue casual suit, white trousers, and a white T-shirt. He appeared more casual than Huo Shaoheng and made his handsome features look even more charming.
He also held a cigarette between his fingers. As he smoked, he looked down at his phone.
"Brother Ze, what are you doing?" It was past seven in the morning on Gu Nianzhi's side. She had just gotten up to go jogging. When she came back, she swiped open her phone and saw that Zhao Liangze had sent her a text message asking how she had been recently.
Gu Nianzhi immediately happily texted Zhao Liangze.
Zhao Liangze received Gu Nianzhi's reply and looked at his watch in surprise.
According to the time difference, it was only past seven in the morning on Gu Nianzhi's side, and it was Saturday there.
Why was she up so early on the weekend?
Zhao Liangze replied, "At the reception." As he spoke, he looked at Huo Shaoheng, who was leaning against the balcony railing and silently smoking. He added, "Huo Shao is also there."
Gu Nianzhi's interest was immediately piqued. She pestered Zhao Liangze to watch the "live broadcast."
Zhao Liangze couldn't help but snicker. He replied, "What's there to watch? A bunch of women chattering like hundreds of ducks. "
"Pfft, Brother Ze, if you talk like that, those people will fight you to the death." Gu Nianzhi kept begging him, "Besides, I don't want to watch those women. Just let me see Uncle Huo."
Zhao Liangze was about to refuse when Deputy Minister Yan from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs walked out and grabbed Huo Shaoheng's arm. "Come, Mr. Huo, someone's looking for you. Come quickly."
Huo Shaoheng had been forced to attend this reception by the highest ranking military officer of the Empire.
He was a soldier. Even if he was asked to dance, he would do anything as long as it was a military mission, much less attend a reception.
He was willing to do anything to win. It wouldn't be the first time he had resorted to unscrupulous means.
But it was completely impossible for him to put on a smile and go along with the flow.
He followed Deputy Minister Yan expressionlessly to the reception hall. They passed through circles of chatting people and arrived at a corner of the hall.
Bai Shuang turned around and smiled at Huo Shaoheng. "Chief, we meet again."
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Secretary Bai."
Deputy Minister Yan smiled. "She's no longer Secretary Bai. Bai Shuang is now the youngest spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She has a bright future ahead of her! "
"Congratulations." Huo Shaoheng nodded.
Bai Shuang was very excited and quickly said, "Please don't say that, Chief. I really want to thank you and your Secretary Zhao this time."
Huo Shaoheng watched as the cigarette in his hand was thrown into the trash can in the corner. He reached out to take a glass of red wine from a passing waiter's tray and gestured to Bai Shuang. "Cheers."
Zhao Liangze was alone on the balcony and finally agreed to Gu Nianzhi's request. He turned on the video call and pointed it in Huo Shaoheng's direction in the hall.
From the other end of the hall, Gu Yanran, wearing a pear white Chanel summer dress suit, was also led by Deputy Minister Feng to Huo Shaoheng and Bai Shuang.
Gu Nianzhi held the phone and saw two beautiful women standing on Huo Shaoheng's left and right through the video call that Zhao Liangze showed her.
She knew one of them. She was the spokesperson for the conference, Bai Shuang. She didn't know the other one, but she was beautiful and was a rare beauty.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes quickly scanned the two women and stopped on Huo Shaoheng.
Unfortunately, from Zhao Liangze's angle, she could only see Huo Shaoheng's back.
But just seeing his back was enough to make her eyes light up and want to lick the screen.
At that moment, Bai Shuang was recalling the most nerve-wracking part of the conference to Huo Shaoheng.
"… When I heard the Americans announced that they had cracked the password, my whole body went cold. I didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, it was you who helped me. The text message that your subordinate, Secretary Zhao, sent to me solved my urgent problem. "

It was the third watch.
Okay, it was the last day of July. If you have a monthly vote, cast it. If you don't, it will be invalid.
Also, I forgot to count the recommendation votes.
If you don't have any more votes for this month, then remember to vote for the Major General for the month of August tomorrow!
