The international situation is changing rapidly. We may have been in the honeymoon stage yesterday, but today we may have turned against others. Whether it is an individual or a country, interests always come first.
Minister Gong knew very well that he was able to achieve this political achievement so smoothly. In addition to relying on the general environment and the huge resources provided by the country, Xiao Zheng's contribution to smoothing it out was also indispensable. It even occupies a very important factor.
Therefore, in addition to being grateful that she was born in a good era, she had already regarded Xiao Zheng as an important ally. As long as her career is not threatened, she can help Xiao Zheng in many ways, and she can accept it even if she suffers some losses.
Xiao Zheng was in a good mood after meeting his old friend, Minister Gong. His Majesty Ling Lai was surrounded by the crowd. The security measures here are also so strong that no accidents are possible. He was able to relax a little and chat with old friends.
Of course, alcohol is definitely not allowed. He must take responsibility for this short and important job. There is no room for negligence.
"How are you doing, Minister Gong?" Xiao Zheng took the initiative to shake hands with him and said with a smile.
"Very good." Minister Gong smiled and said in a slightly lower tone. "Thank you for your hard work again, Boss Xiao, last night."
Before coming to the dinner, she had mastered all the events of last night. Including Xiao Zheng uprooting three strongholds of American assassins. She thought she would not see Xiao Zheng at tonight's dinner. Unexpectedly, this young man still attended.
One man single-handedly assassinated hundreds of American assassins. His personal force is so powerful that he is admired by Minister Gong. It also caused huge repercussions among high-level people from all walks of life.
"It should be." Xiao Zheng smiled. "I am a Chinese soldier. I do small things for the country. How can I call it hard work?"
Minister Gong nodded and said softly: "Azheng, you performed very well this time, and the superiors spoke highly of you. Before, there was a lot of resistance to your promotion to major general. But now there is basically no objection. Do you want to consider taking the administrative route? You have a strong foundation and a wide network of contacts, plus the achievements you have made in the past few years. Even if you take the military route, you are expected to reach the top."
Taking the military route to reach the summit in peacetime
How strong a background and incredible luck would it take to make this possible? And if you grab both hands, your promotion speed will definitely slow down or even create a bottleneck.
Of course, the bottleneck is only for reaching the top.
A ministerial boss who does not join the Politburo can be called a frontier official. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local emperor. Judging from Xiao Zheng's current resume, if he pursues an official career, it will not be difficult for him to sneak into the position of a feudal official before retiring.
Minister Gong still admires Xiao Zheng's political sense. Coupled with his personal relationship with His Majesty Ling Lai, it is enough to gain high attention from the top management.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said with a grateful look on his face: "Thank you, Minister Gong, for your trust. However, if I, a guy with a businessman label on my forehead, ran into politics, I guess many people would be unhappy, right?"
Minister Gong shook his head and said: "Today's political circles are much more open-minded than before. As long as there is ability and ability, the government is willing to open the door to facilitate people. Especially economic experts like Boss Xiao. They are scarce talents in the government."
This is already an olive branch from Minister Gong. But Xiao Zheng just said with a smile: "Thank you Minister Gong for your kindness. But I still prefer doing business. Xinao currently has less than 10,000 employees, so I am very busy. If you really want me to be a local official and join politics, Aren’t you going to tire me to the point of vomiting blood?”
After a pause, Xiao Zheng continued: "The country is in need. It needs money and people to contribute. I'm sure that's okay. But when it comes to politics, I really have no ambition in this area."
Minister Gong heard this and said with regret, "That's really a loss for our government." After a pause, she smiled again. "But it is a blessing for the business community. With you and your Xinao here, China's economy will definitely be more exciting."
"I try not to let the country down." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
After finishing his conversation with Minister Gong, Xiao Zheng walked to Jiang Qing's side. Even in such a relaxed environment, Captain Jiang still maintained a high degree of concentration. He was neither unprofessional nor boring.
Xiao Zheng joked: "Captain Jiang. As a human being, you'd better not be too tight. It's so tiring."
Jiang Qing glanced at Xiao Zheng from the corner of his eye: "I am just a frontline soldier with no business acumen and no political skills. Treating every task as the last one is my motto in life."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he said in awe, "Captain Jiang. I should learn from you."
"I should learn from you. Lone Ranger." Jiang Qing pursed her lips and said. Clearly still a little angry. I'm not happy that I couldn't participate in the assassination last night.
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Jiang, I never realized that you are so small-minded before. Is this a common problem among women?"
"Is that person in your family too narrow-minded?" Jiang Qing glanced at Xiao Zheng.
"Her." Xiao Zheng slapped his lips and said slowly. "You can say that she is small-minded, but she can embrace all kinds of things. But you can say that she is big-minded."
After a pause, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "She is indeed very thoughtful."
Jiang Qing looked around the scene without squinting, her red lips slightly parted and said: "No wonder His Majesty Ling Lai is so bold."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zheng fled in despair.
Because the dinner party is very political and has a large gathering of bigwigs. So firstly, it didn’t look happy, and secondly, there was no lively atmosphere. Although everyone was chatting, the voices were not loud and the topics were very sensitive. In addition, His Majesty Ling Lai will have activities tomorrow morning. So it ends at ten o'clock on time.
The big guys went back to their homes, and His Majesty Ling Lai also returned to the hotel safely under the escort of the security team.
"Boss Xiao. My schedule has changed tomorrow afternoon."
Before returning to the house, His Majesty Ling Lai turned around and smiled at Xiao Zheng.
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng felt a headache when he heard this.
Any changes to the itinerary will increase the risk of the trip. This is what Xiao Zheng least wants to happen. But he is only responsible for security issues and has no decision-making power over His Majesty Ling Lai's itinerary.
The reason why His Majesty Ling Lai mentioned it must have been approved by the leader. If it's troublesome, let the security team handle it.
"Where are you going, Your Majesty?" Xiao Zheng asked helplessly.
"It sounds like Boss Xiao is very unhappy." His Majesty Ling Lai smiled slightly and continued. "But I have decided that even if Boss Xiao is unhappy, I must go."
After a pause, His Majesty Ling Lai smiled and said: "As early as in Tokyo, I heard about the glorious deeds of ENN Group. I have always wanted to visit the headquarters. I wonder if Boss Xiao is willing to be the leader?"
Xiao Zheng was slightly startled when he heard this. I smiled bitterly in my heart. But he had to show gratitude on his face.
He knew that His Majesty Ling Lai's inspection of Xinao would be of great benefit to the group's business development. attracted widespread international attention.
But from a personal perspective, he was worried that His Majesty Ling Lai had other agendas.
This is the last thing Xiao Zheng wants to happen.
