After waiting for less than three minutes, Siyan's phone call came.
"Brother, the phone number was found. But it's a bit scary to say it." Si Yan's tone was quite anxious, and he wiped away the cold sweat.
"Tell me." Xiao Zheng smiled. "Who else can scare your four-eyed brother?"
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Siyan said succinctly. "The phone call just now came from the office of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs."
"—" When Xiao Zheng heard this, the first thing he did not ask further questions was to wonder if he had committed treason. After confirming that he was still a patriot, he let out a breath. "Have you checked correctly?"
"It's impossible to check the error." Si Yan said with a wry smile. "It is impossible to change the phone number of this kind of unit at will."
After a pause, Si Yan asked curiously: "Brother, did you accidentally sleep with the daughter of a certain leader?"
"roll."
Xiao Zheng hung up the phone and sat in a chair for a moment, then decided to go to the meeting alone.
Since the person meeting him is a senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That safety issue should be guaranteed. Brother Azheng is now worth a lot of money, so he doesn’t want to go have tea with Marx too early. I live on tenterhooks every day, afraid of being hit by a car when I cross the road—
After informing Xiao Taohong, Xiao Zheng went to the parking lot to pick up the car and went straight to the Guobin Building.
Guobin Building is located in the urban area. From the appearance, it is not very special and it is not difficult to find. Xiao Zheng drove for less than twenty minutes and stopped at the entrance of the Guobin Building.
"Mr. Xiao?"
As soon as I got off the bus, a middle-aged man in a neat suit came up to me. He looked upright and dignified. Steady and calm.
"It's me. Are you—" Xiao Zheng shook hands with him politely.
"You may not know me. But I know your name very well." The middle-aged man introduced himself. "My name is Li Lei. I work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
It turned out to be the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said: "You are too polite. There is nothing to say about the status of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China."
"It's a verbal protest, right?" Li Lei joked.
Xiao Zheng laughed dumbly. This guy is also very capable of making fun of himself.
"No more chatting. Minister Gong is waiting for you upstairs." Li Lei stepped aside and stretched out his hand. "Mr. Xiao, please go upstairs."
Xiao Zheng nodded and was not polite.
After getting on the elevator, Li Lei directly pressed the button for the top floor. Ten seconds later, the elevator door slowly opened with a ding. The two of them walked out one after another and went straight to the designated place.
"Mr. Xiao, please go in. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Li Lei said with a smile.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his heart became more and more serious.
Even people at Li Lei’s level can’t participate? It seems that the situation is bigger than imagined. Secrecy is also quite high.
Boom boom.
Xiao Zheng knocked on the door. Wait in silence.
After a few seconds, the door slowly opened. The person who opened the door surprised Xiao Zheng.
"Is it you?" Xiao Zheng asked in disbelief.
Jiang Qing was as hard and cold as ever, but a look of surprise unconsciously flashed across her cold face: "Come in."
After that, get out of the way.
As soon as Xiao Zheng entered the room, he found that it was a suite.
The area is huge. There are three floors inside and outside. Reception area, work area, and rest area. The area is approximately one hundred square meters.
As soon as they entered the house, a man and a woman sitting on the sofa in the reception area stood up and came to greet them.
"Mr. Xiao, I have long admired your name." The middle-aged woman at the head said with a smile. Looks affable.
Xiao Zheng shook hands with it, then smiled and said: "You were the one who talked to me on the phone just now?"
"Yeah." The middle-aged woman nodded and smiled. "Forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Gong. I work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
"Hello, Minister Gong."
Li Lei mentioned it just now. Xiao Zheng also remembered the other party's identity.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. A serious deputy ministerial figure. Moreover, he is still the kind of person who appears to be a deputy minister, but in fact, even the minister-level bosses will give face to him.
Why
Because every minister of foreign affairs is a close confidant of the head of government. Even in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first foreign minister was directly appointed by Premier Zhou.
It can be said to be the most important department with real power.
Such a deputy ministerial level diplomat made an appointment with him in person. You can imagine how important it is.
Everyone exchanged brief greetings for a while and then sat down one after another. Minister Gong sat on one side with the middle-aged man accompanying him, while Jiang Qing naturally sat on the other side with Xiao Zheng.
"Mr. Xiao, we have admired your name for a long time. We have also watched you on TV." Minister Gong smiled.
"You are serious." Xiao Zheng bowed and said with a curious look on his face. "Do you have any instructions for inviting me here this time?"
He didn't dare to tell the truth. After all, he is a deputy ministerial figure in a department with real power. And there is no friendship, it is the first time to meet. Xiao Zheng understood the principle of shooting the first bird when he was in the army. But he refuses to change despite repeated admonitions...
"Mr. Xiao is a well-known businessman. How dare we give you orders." Minister Gong shook his head with a smile. "But I do need Mr. Xiao's help with something."
"Please feel free to say it." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "As long as it's within my ability, I won't refuse."
When Jiang Qing heard this, he said very calmly: "You can definitely help."
Xiao Zheng glanced sideways at Jiang Qing and thought to himself: It depends on the situation. Is it you who betrayed me this time
Jiang Qing saw the doubt in Xiao Zheng's eyes, but did not respond directly. He just said slowly: "Because the situation is serious, everything in this operation is classified as first-level confidentiality."
As she spoke, she took out a document from her briefcase and said, "Xiao Zheng, before you learn the inside story, you must first sign a confidentiality agreement."
Xiao Zheng didn’t refuse either. Originally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave him a reliable signal. What's more, Jiang Qing intervened. Xiao Zheng was even more relieved.
Look, Brother Azheng is so kind. I didn't even understand the situation, so I just signed and pledged it. Maybe he was sold and still counting the money with a smile.
After signing the agreement, Xiao Zheng raised his head and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Minister Gong explained: "We are receiving an important guest. Due to some personal reasons, we hope that Mr. Xiao will accompany him throughout the entire trip. The time will be three days. Captain Jiang will be responsible for security issues."
"What important person needs the Dragon Group to personally protect him?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
Jiang Qing glanced at Xiao Zheng and said word by word: "Others may not know this character very well. But Mr. Xiao must know him. Not only do we know him, we should still be old acquaintances."
There is a thorn in the words both inside and outside. In addition, Xiao Zheng and Jiang Qing had some common experiences. He quickly deduced the identity of this important guest.
"The distinguished guest is from Tokyo?" Xiao Zheng asked tentatively.
When Minister Gong heard this, he smiled slightly and complimented: "Mr. Xiao really has a delicate heart."
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Minister Gong, you are ridiculous. Captain Jiang has reminded me of this. If I hadn't guessed it yet, I would definitely be humiliated by Captain Jiang."
