Shang Yao is a very independent woman. As long as it's something she's serious about, no one can object. For example, when forming an alliance with Xiao Zheng, Shang Yao did not give up despite Shang Jingtian's obstruction or Yan Shichang's opposition.
On the contrary, after she gained power, she immediately opened the line between heaven and earth and wanted to cooperate with Xiao Zheng for the second time.
She admired Xiao Zheng very much. He also has a deep understanding of Xiao Zheng's abilities.
It can be said that the reason why she is where she is today is that even if Xiao Zheng did not give decisive help, she has received huge favor from Xiao Zheng in many key steps. Shang Yao was grateful for this.
So no matter what others think of Xiao Zheng, Shang Yao has never wavered in his original intention to cooperate with Xiao Zheng from beginning to end.
Faced with Shang Yao's words that went straight to the point, Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "I was chatting just now, and Miss Shang didn't take even two bites. Let's chat while we eat?"
When Shang Yao heard this, he immediately saw that Xiao Zheng was not angry with him because of the Yan family. Feeling happy, he nodded and said, "Please."
After returning to the box, Shang Yao personally filled a glass of Maotai for Xiao Zheng, raised the glass and said, "Mr. Xiao, I respect you."
"You're welcome." Xiao Zheng drank the wine in one gulp and put down the glass. "Actually, you don't have to go through Prince Ling Lainei to find me."
When Shang Yao heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart. But she has no regrets.
Meeting Xiao Zheng through Prince Ling Lainei indeed cost a lot. But this is the safest and safest way. Other ways
Who knows if I can see Xiao Zheng.
After all, the Yan family and Xiao Zheng are no longer as peaceful as they appear. But he broke his skin.
"Prince Ling Lainei is my old classmate. There is a mutually beneficial relationship between me and her. If you suffer a little loss this time, you will make more next time. It doesn't matter." Shang Yao revealed that she and Ling Relationship with Prince Lainei. There was no intention of showing off.
In terms of closeness, the relationship between Xiao Zheng and Prince Ling Lainei is really close, right
Shang Yao may not be fully aware of the negotiations between Prince Ling Lainei and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But for a dinner like today, Prince Ling Lainei didn't have to show up at all - the reason why she showed up was for Xiao Zheng's sake. As for what he promised Xiao Zheng, what Xiao Zheng gave back. That's not what Shang Yao can understand.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not invite a dinner party, but Xiao Zheng did. By the way, some benefits provided by Shang Yao -
Could it be that the conditions offered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not as good as those of Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao
But Prince Ling Lainei chose to have this meal with Xiao Zheng instead of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Picture what
Tu’s friendship with Xiao Zheng!
Xiao Zheng smiled and took a bite of the food slowly: "Is there nothing going on at home?"
He was asking about the Yan family.
There has been no movement in the Yan family these days, and Xiao Zheng is inevitably a little curious.
But now that Shang Yao has taken charge of the Yan family, Yan Shichang must have really retreated behind the scenes and stopped caring about worldly affairs.
"Everything is fine." Shang Yao smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao."
"Care?" Xiao Zheng smiled mysteriously. "Miss Shang, are you being too hypocritical?"
Shang Yao smiled and said nothing.
What she said was indeed a bit hypocritical. The relationship between the two parties is not to the point of caring about each other. If you don't point your finger at the other person to death, it's considered as giving face.
Xiao Zheng asked this, of course, to inquire about the happenings of the Yan family. It is enough for Shang Yao to finish the first half of the sentence. There is no need to add superfluous words and thank Xiao Zheng.
The two chatted for a while, but Shang Yao didn't take the initiative to mention cooperation. Because she saw Xiao Zheng's attitude.
What attitude
I don’t hate it, and I don’t want to get too close.
But this is a good attitude for Shang Yao.
When it comes to cooperation, things become familiar again. As long as Xiao Zheng doesn't hate Shang Yao, she will have a way to slowly get closer to Xiao Zheng. Until we become allies again.
Of course, she didn't think Xiao Zheng was too big. After all, after suffering the loss of Shang Yao, no matter how arrogant Xiao Zheng is, he cannot be defenseless.
"It's getting late." Xiao Zheng stood up and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Shang Yao stood up. Smiling.
Although she still wanted to chat with Xiao Zheng for a while, it was best to eat dinner together. But she also knew that rushing things would be counterproductive. He simply stretched out his delicate arm and held it with Xiao Zheng: "Mr. Xiao, can we make an appointment next time?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng said with a faint smile. "Miss Shang, walk slowly."
Watch Shang Yao go out. Xiao Zheng turned back and put away the documents on the table. Then he walked out slowly.
However, he did not leave the Dragon Phoenix Tower, but walked directly towards the VIP room on the roof.
Xiao Zheng personally conducted this negotiation, and Minister Gong only provided information behind the scenes. But Minister Gong paid great attention to this negotiation. So under Xiao Zheng's arrangement, she rested in the VIP room on the roof. Hope to get feedback as soon as possible.
As soon as he opened the door, Minister Gong, who was sitting on the sofa, came over quickly. Jiang Qing on the side had a straight face, hesitated for a while, and then walked over.
"Mr. Xiao. How's it going?" Minister Gong asked impatiently.
There was wine and food in the VIP room. Although Minister Gong had been hungry all day, he could only simply satisfy his hunger. I didn't even dare to drink more water, for fear that going to the bathroom would delay the fight.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he just handed all the contracts in his hand to Minister Gong: "The task was successfully completed."
Minister Gong excitedly opened the documents and made sure that Prince Ling Lainei signed them. Then he excitedly held Xiao Zheng's hand and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Zheng said politely: "It should be."
What else can I say now besides saying nice things
Xiao Zhenglian has always been polite and courteous to government officials like Yu Fei who he promoted. Now I am talking to a high-ranking foreign minister like Minister Gong. How could he be so presumptuous
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a department directly under the State Council. Although the top leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this term is not the head of the State Council. But it is foreseeable that the top leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will inevitably join the Politburo during the next change of office. Ranked at the level of national leaders.
For such a powerful department, Minister Gong is also the deputy minister in charge of Asian affairs. Xiao Zheng was unwilling to offend him no matter what.
This time, Minister Gong's negotiation was successful, and with Xiao Zheng's assistance, it can be said that the task assigned above was completed 200%. It will definitely be of great benefit to her career. Maybe in the next personnel transfer, the position of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs will be her turn.
You know, this position is very popular, and it is the throne under one person in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Which deputy minister can reach this position? It is not difficult to get the title of Central Committee member before retiring. Plus Minister Gong is less than fifty years old. If there is a decisive political achievement in the future, maybe I can climb up again.
Therefore, Xiao Zheng's help this time is really crucial to Minister Gong.
