Because of the special status of Prince Ling Lainei, the hospital where she stayed after being injured could not be an ordinary hospital. It is a private hospital designated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Excellent medical literacy. Fully staffed. The key is a high safety index. It can guarantee the personal safety of Prince Ling Lainei.
At this time, the delegation responsible for negotiating with Prince Ling Lainei was waiting in the VIP room. Including Minister Gong, Captain Jiang, national security agents, etc.
In the past few hours, Minister Gong's words had been worn out, and Prince Ling Lainei was barely able to be held back. However, according to the ultimatum issued by Prince Ling Lainei, she must be put on the plane before three o'clock.
So for Minister Gong, time is really running out.
Of course, given Minister Gong's status in Chinese official circles. She can respect Prince Ling Lainei politely. But there is no need to rely on others. On the one hand, the countries are different; on the other hand, Minister Gong himself is a diplomat representing the authority and interests of the country. With such a sensitive identity, she will maintain her proper posture and pride in any situation except at the negotiation table. This is not only about preserving one's own dignity, but also the national system.
But right now, she is negotiating with Prince Ling Lainei. And it is a negotiation related to national justice.
When necessary, she can completely let go of her proper attitude. Of course, Prince Ling Lainei had no intention of making things difficult for Minister Gong from the beginning to the end. The issues on the negotiating table have been implemented. Prince Ling Lainei was leaving, why should she object
She just wants to fight for certain benefits for the country under the negotiation table.
This is why she is willing to lower her profile.
It is a huge truth that a weak country has no diplomacy. But what if it is a negotiation between powerful countries? What if China wants to carry out 'espionage' work in Tokyo
You can't take a tough attitude and force Prince Ling Lainei, right
Minister Gong knew very well that this negotiation would at least advance the relationship between China and Tokyo by twenty years. Those issues left over from history were also resolved twenty years ahead of schedule.
The necessary low profile is absolutely fine. It has nothing to do with humiliating the state, it is a strategic arrangement.
After these days of negotiations, Minister Gong also saw that Prince Ling Lainei was a representative with great political acumen and means. Although she has never conducted such a huge negotiation scene. But in terms of details, overall situation control, and even psychological tactics, they are not inferior to Minister Gong, a master negotiator.
What's even more outrageous is that Jiang Qing told Minister Gong that she is still a very powerful person.
What is an extremely powerful person
Minister Gong, who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduating from university, didn't know much about it. Therefore, Jiang Qing gave a very vivid and down-to-earth description.
"A master like Prince Ling Lainei. Even if he faces a hundred practitioners, it's like he's in a deserted place. He can come and go as he pleases."
This is definitely a prince who is versatile in both civil and military affairs. Minister Gong gave the final conclusion.
And just now, Prince Ling Lainei, who was chatting with Minister Gong, had a slight smile on his face. But everyone knows that this is just a perfunctory smile, not sincere. At this moment, when Jiang Qing brought Xiao Zheng's phone number to Prince Ling Lainei, the smile on the latter's face became obviously vivid. And extremely sincere.
Even the tone of voice became slow and gentle.
For those who didn’t know, I thought I was answering a call from the Emperor or Prime Minister of Japan. That gesture is eye-catching.
"Hello, is this Mr. Xiao?" Prince Ling Lainei said with a smile on his face, very gentle and polite.
At this moment, Xiao Zheng's calm voice came from the other side of the phone: "Has Prince Ling Lainei had lunch?"
"Not yet." Prince Ling Lainei smiled slightly and said with bright eyes. "I just decided to go to the airport."
"Are you in a hurry?" Xiao Zheng's voice sounded in his ears. It sounded like a question, but it was actually a bit suspicious.
"It's not that urgent..." Prince Ling Lainei opened his red lips slightly. "But now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need to stay any longer. Mr. Xiao also understands my situation. There are still a lot of things in Tokyo waiting for me to deal with when I return."
"No more than a day or two." Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said boldly. "I've booked a place, come over for a meal."
Where is this request or solicitation? It's basically just giving orders.
But Prince Ling Lainei fell for Xiao Zheng's trick.
She smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Follow Mr. Xiao's arrangements." After a brief pause, she continued. "I chatted with Miss Shang for a while this morning. Due to work reasons, I haven't been able to meet this old friend recently. I don't know -"
"Then let's go together." Xiao Zheng frowned slightly but did not refuse. road. "Give the phone to Jiang Qing."
"OK."
Ling Lai took the phone and handed it to Jiang Qing: "Captain Jiang, Mr. Xiao is looking for you."
have to. Since I finished my phone call with Xiao Zheng. Even the tone has changed. It was very perfunctory at first, but now it has become enthusiastic.
Minister Gong, who was sitting aside, was dumbfounded and shook his head slightly, thinking to himself: What kind of magical power does Xiao Zheng have that can make Prince Ling Lainei value him so much
It seems that I still underestimated Xiao Zheng's energy.
Jiang Qing chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone. Then he walked carefully to Minister Gong, bent down and said, "Minister Gong, Xiao Zheng said that he will handle the follow-up issues. We just need to send him the relevant documents."
"He will handle it?" Minister Gong raised his eyebrows. Incomprehensible.
Although this is a negotiation under the negotiating table. But after all, the matter is so big that there is no reason for anyone outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to intervene or even replace Minister Gong.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has never had such a precedent.
Jiang Qing understood Minister Gong's concerns and said tentatively: "Xiao Zheng's original words are that if we intervene, Prince Ling Lainei will definitely take the opportunity to ask for some benefits. No matter how much, it will always be detrimental to us."
After hearing this, Minister Gong felt much less worried. He said softly: "So, he wants to use his personal dignity to facilitate this negotiation for us?"
Jiang Qing smiled bitterly and said, "That's probably what I mean." After a slight pause, Jiang Qing continued. "I believe him. As long as he is willing to come forward, there should be no problem with Prince Ling Lainei."
Why doesn't Minister Gong not know this
It's just that she has been in a high position for a long time and can't accept this kind of unruly negotiation. To be honest, the subsequent negotiations were essentially negotiations under the negotiating table. Talking through conventional channels may not be as effective as Xiao Zheng talking about it privately.
After a brief pause, Minister Gong said, "Okay. You are responsible for communicating with Xiao Zheng about this matter. Report the results to me immediately."
"Understood." Jiang Qing nodded heavily.
