Jenny looked at the two of them in surprise. She was even more shocked than the two of them. She asked dumbfoundedly, "Have you two known each other before?"
"Not really, but we've been friends for a long time." Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect your father to be Minister Buss!"
Hearing Xiao Bing directly mention her father's identity, Jenny was completely sure that Xiao Bing and her father must know each other. But it was not surprising that Xiao Bing knew her father. After all, her father's status and identity were there. But how did her father know Xiao Bing?
Buss glanced at his daughter and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you still don't know the identity of the person in front of you. Even compared with your father, he is only a little bit lower, right?"
Jenny was shocked. Her father had already sat in the position of minister. In the entire United States, he could be regarded as the top real power figure. But Xiao Bing's status was only a little lower than her father's? What was Xiao Bing's identity?
Buss stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Xiao Bing, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of National Security of Huaxia. I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances. Speaking of which, we are both in the same profession. Our statuses are not that different."
Jenny was surprised, "The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of National Security of Huaxia?"
She felt a little dizzy. No wonder she couldn't believe it. Buss was nearly 50 years old, while Xiao Bing looked to be about 30 years old. Generally speaking, 30 years old was only the beginning stage of a man's career. Usually, a man's career was at its peak at 40 years old. But how could Xiao Bing be a deputy minister at such a young age?
It was simply incredible!
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "Yes, your father and I are in the same profession."
Jenny was surprised and said, "Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"
Xiao Bing said helplessly, "I just met you yesterday. Besides, why am I talking to you about this? There's nothing to talk about. "
Jenny nodded and said with emotion, "No wonder you are so powerful. It turns out that you are such a high-ranking official. But although my father is one level higher than you, he doesn't have as many skills as you."
Jenny thought of Xiao Bing playing the zither and punching the brick last night. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Buss had a helpless look on his face. How could his daughter speak? Why was she speaking up for an outsider?
But now was not the time to care about this. Now Bass was a little dizzy. He had tried every means to provoke the Vatican to deal with Xiao Bing. His plan was to secretly help the Vatican destroy Xiao Bing and use him to weaken the power of the Vatican. But now Xiao Bing was the savior of his daughter. He felt a headache when he thought about it.
Buss said, "Deputy Minister Xiao, please take a seat."
Xiao Bing sat down next to Jenny with a smile.
Buss also sat down and said, "I really didn't know that Deputy Minister Xiao would come here. Logically speaking, even if it's Xia Weiyi's government, they should hold a banquet to entertain him. The governor and officials at all levels should accompany him."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "I'm just out with my friends this time, so there's no need to go through so much trouble. I didn't want to tell you. This is a private matter, not an official one. "
"Well, but now that I already know …"
Xiao Bing shook his head with a smile and said, "Minister Buss, don't make things difficult for me. For the sake of your daughter, don't tell me about this. I still want to play here like an ordinary person. I won't do anything else."
Both Buss and Xiao Bing couldn't help laughing. Buss nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't tell anyone. If I really tell anyone, I guess you will really be busy during this period. Not only will the governor have to entertain you, but I will also have to entertain you well. It's better not to waste your private time with your friends. How many days are you going to play here this time before you go back? "
"I can't say for sure. I may go back at any time." Xiao Bing asked, "How many people have died in the terrorist incident last night?"
Speaking of this, Buss's face was a little heavy. He said, "Before I came here, the death toll had risen to 13 people."
"Alas, things have become like this. Being sad won't solve the problem."
"Yes, these damn terrorist organizations!" Bass said with a sincere expression, "Deputy Minister Xiao, it's fortunate that you were there yesterday. Otherwise, the death toll would have been several times higher. Moreover, my daughter's life would have been in danger. Whether it's for public or private reasons, I have to thank you."
Xiao Bing said, "Minister Buss should know that I used to be a soldier. People like me can't bear to see this kind of thing happen the most, so you don't have to thank me for this. It's what I should do."
"No, don't say that you're not an American citizen. Even if you're really an American, you helped us catch those two terrorists and saved so many people's lives. We have to thank you. Unfortunately, you don't want to expose your identity, so I will announce this matter after you return to China. "
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, "It doesn't matter whether I announce it or not."
"No, this is what we should do. We should let our citizens know who the hero of this incident is."
Although Bass said that he wanted to attack Xiao Bing, it was all for the sake of national interests. In terms of personal interests, there was no conflict of interest between him and Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing admired him very much. And the United States was indeed very transparent in this regard. Although many things were done in a domineering manner, this kind of thing that should be announced would still be announced, and those who should be thanked would also be thanked.
Xiao Bing said, "All right."
Buss said, "Just now we were talking about public affairs. Now let's talk about private affairs. This meal is me thanking you as a father. Thank you for saving my daughter. If you encounter any trouble here in the future, don't hesitate to ask me. I will try my best to help you solve it."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Well, I will remember this."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Although there was a huge gap between their ages, the two of them had a feeling of mutual appreciation for each other.
Jenny saw that her father and Xiao Bing kept talking, so she hurriedly reminded them, "Hurry up and eat. It will all be cold soon."
"You're right. You're right. We should hurry up and fill our stomachs." Buss said with a smile, "Deputy Minister Xiao, please eat."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Okay."
They began to eat and also drank two glasses of wine. After two glasses of wine, Jenny went to the bathroom. Buss looked at Xiao Bing and said with a smile, "Deputy Minister Xiao, what do you think of my daughter?"
Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the topic would still be about Jenny. Was Buss looking for a handsome son-in-law?
Xiao Bing was also not sure what Buss meant. He said truthfully, "She is very beautiful, a rare beauty, and she is also young and energetic. I think no one will dislike her."
Bath had a proud smile on his face. It was clear that he was very confident in his daughter. He said in a low voice, "Actually, I think my daughter is interested in you. Although she didn't say it, I can feel it. I know my daughter very well."
"It can't be." Xiao Bing said awkwardly, "I think it may be because I saved Miss Jenny yesterday. It is inevitable that she will have a good impression of me."
Buss said with a smile, "No matter who is right, if you and my daughter are together, I will be happy to see it. I know that many people in your country want to immigrate to the United States. I don't know if you are interested. To be honest, if you are really interested, after you come, I will give you a lot of convenience in your career. For example, although you used to be a senior official in Huaxia, there may be some obstacles in your career here. But with me here, you don't have to worry about it. I will try my best to help you solve it. "
Xiao Bing frowned slightly and felt a little unhappy. Buss actually had the same idea as the Queen of England. But in contrast, Xiao Bing was already Princess Anna's boyfriend, and Anna's identity was relatively special. The Queen of England hoped that Anna would inherit the throne in the future, so it was not surprising that the Queen of England said so.
But Buss was different. In Xiao Bing's view, Buss was almost asking him to commit treason. Although it did not seem to be treason on the surface, if he immigrated, he would continue his career in the United States, and eventually even become a senior official. Then what about the confidential information he knew about Huaxia before? Wouldn't it all belong to the United States?
And although the United States and Huaxia could not be called enemies, at least they were the two biggest competitors in the world. The biggest worry of the United States was that Huaxia would surpass them in the future, so they had always hoped to limit the development of Huaxia. In this way, what was the difference between him and treason?
Buss looked at Xiao Bing and said, "I know you may not be able to accept this for a while, but I can guarantee that if you come to the United States, your future will only be better. In this most powerful country in the world, you can really exert all your abilities. You can go back and think about it slowly."
Xiao Bing's face darkened, and he said in a serious tone, "Minister Buss, you don't need to think about what you said at all. If you have such an idea, I advise you to give up. On the one hand, your daughter and I are just friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend. On the other hand, even if your daughter and I are like what you said, it is impossible for me to immigrate to the United States, and it is impossible for me to work for the United States. This is equivalent to an insult to my identity as a Huaxia soldier. Then I can leave now … "
Buss was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Xiao Bing was unhappy, he hurriedly said with a smile, "I'm just saying. In that case, Deputy Minister Xiao, don't take it seriously."
"Then I hope I won't hear it again in the future." Xiao Bing said seriously, "Anyone can make any joke with me, but I can't make two jokes. One is about my family, and the other is about my motherland! This is my principle! "
