Until he entered the elevator, his figure completely disappeared.
Then some people started to discuss in a low voice.
"Who are these people?"
"How did such a young girl sneak into the Z country delegation? Is she also a member of the delegation? She looks to be in her early twenties? More than twenty?"
"I've seen that lawsuit. She seems to be a very important figure in it. She looks really young. She looks even younger up close than on TV."
"Wow, she's a beautiful Y-Continent beauty."
…
The elevator went up to the 6th floor.
The person in charge of leading the way brought them to the door of the negotiation meeting room, stopped, and turned back to say, "We're here."
Someone pushed the door open.
Qiao Nian looked against the light and saw that the right side of the room was already full of people, looking in their direction.
She brought Liang Conglin and others in, found the second seat in the middle and sat down, and gave the middle seat to Liang Conglin.
"Please take a seat, Principal Liang." The girl was lazy and looked casual, yet she understood the meaning of humility and respect better than anyone else.
Liang Conglin glanced at the people sitting densely opposite him, and without further ado, he straightened his suit and sat down.
Qiao Nian is the main person in charge of their trip. Normally, Qiao Nian should sit in the middle seat, but Qiao Nian is too young. No matter what, in order to avoid trouble, even if it is just for show, he needs to stabilize his mentality as a representative of Country Z.
The next step is for both parties to start negotiations.
Before Liang Conglin came, he had discussed their conditions with the Zhou family, and combined with the conditions in Beijing, he began to negotiate with the FBI. Since it was a negotiation, it couldn't be very harmonious.
The conditions offered by both parties were different at the beginning.
The solution given by the FBI is to no longer pursue Zhou Xuxing for the "suspected" theft of data, and Zhou Xuxing can continue to stay in the United States for exchange studies.
The conditions proposed by Liang Conglin were much more stringent. He demanded an apology from the FBI, restoration of Zhou Xuxing's reputation, and a public statement from the FBI acknowledging its mistakes.
"impossible!"
"We will never agree to that!"
"The biggest concession we can make is not to pursue further responsibility. Nothing else is negotiable!"
The head of the FBI had a very grumpy face and an extremely tough attitude. Faced with the conditions offered by Liang Conglin, he was just about to smash the cup and leave.
Liang Conglin was also very firm: "These are the conditions we proposed. If you don't agree, we will continue the lawsuit and drag it out."
The head of the FBI was also enraged. He immediately stood up, sneered, and said in a bad manner: "We don't care. As long as his family can afford it, so can we. You can stay here to fight the lawsuit for a year or two, and we will go through the process slowly. We are just worried that his family's visa will not last that long, and they will have to go back after staying for three months."
Liang Conglin frowned, gripped the edge of the folder tightly, and controlled his emotions so as not to quarrel with others in public.
The other party's behavior is really rogue.
They don't look like the FBI at all, more like the gangsters in the movies.
He took a deep breath and said, "You have wrongly accused others for no reason and caused them to suffer reputational damage. All we ask is that you publicly apologize and restore the reputation of our scientists. Do you think this reasonable request is so difficult to fulfill?"
The FBI director showed impatience on his face: "It's hard to say whether he was wronged or not. We can only say that we didn't catch him this time. Who knows if he has stolen our data before, or maybe he will steal data, but he didn't dare to do so this time and was caught by us." (End of this chapter)
