Chapter 2499 Taking the Reason

While they were chatting animatedly, Liu Fusheng on the other side of the ocean also welcomed guests from China.

The person who led the team to the United States this time was Liu Fusheng's old acquaintance, Wang Heping, who has now been promoted to Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Liu Fusheng led Zhou Xiaozhe and the relevant team to meet with Wang Heping, and the two sides exchanged greetings.

Liu Fusheng said: "I didn't expect that the organization would send Deputy Minister Wang to negotiate with me with the US government."

Wang Heping smiled and said, "This is an opportunity I fought for. I heard that Governor Liu was in charge of the negotiations, so I volunteered and wrote an application... In addition to me, there are others who also want to meet Governor Liu."

A young girl walked quickly from behind and said, "Brother Liu, I didn't expect that we would meet again."

Liu Fusheng took a look and realized that this person was Liu Fei, with whom he had once carried out a secret mission in Southeast Asia.

Now that she was here, Zhu Yu might be behind her.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhu Yu also came running over.

He greeted Liu Fusheng politely, and then said, "Brother Liu, it has been more than a month since you left France. I miss you very much after not seeing you for so long."

Obviously, Zhu Yu was using this method to remind Liu Fei not to let anything about the Golden Triangle slip.

Liu Fei glared and said, "A few months, isn't that fast? Time flies like an arrow, days and months pass like a shuttle, haven't you heard of these two idioms? I miss Brother Liu so much, so I feel that time is passing very fast, is there any problem?"

"I..." Zhu Yu's face turned red after being confronted. Apparently, being a bootlicker is not that easy.

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly, then looked at Lin Feng, who was blending in with the team and not conspicuous.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and gave a polite smile - this guy was pretending not to know him.

Liu Fusheng asked: "Aren't you comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission? Why are you joining the delegation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Liu Fei lowered his voice and said, "Brother Liu, we are now official members of the diplomatic delegation. Please don't talk nonsense about the past."

Zhu Yu sighed and said, "There are so many acquaintances in the group, who can you hide this from?"

Liu Fei angrily said, "You are the only one who talks too much. You are the only one who has a big mouth. What did the leader tell us before we went abroad? We must protect our true identities. Many tasks must be carried out in a confidential manner to avoid being discovered by the United States... If you take the initiative to admit your identity without waiting for others to ask, how can we carry out our work?"

"Ugh."

Zhu Yu sighed and stopped talking.

Wang Heping waved his hand at them, and then said to Liu Fusheng: "The organization has discovered that the arrest of Chairman Chen Fei is very strange. It may involve some special people and suspected of violating regulations and disciplines. Therefore, some comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission are also coming with the delegation this time."

In this case, Liu Fusheng did not want to ask any more questions. He immediately invited Wang Heping and his group to get in the car, and he also sat in Wang Heping's car.

The vehicle started and drove towards the city.

Wang Heping sighed, "Governor Liu, the current domestic situation is also very serious. Before I set out, the leader specifically told me to tell you the real situation so that you can have a clear idea during the consultation."

Liu Fusheng said: "I can imagine that the current domestic economic situation is not very stable."

Wang Heping said: "Yes, as financial companies have collapsed one after another, many investment institutions have become somewhat fearful. If the authorities do not quickly intervene in supervision and implement a benign exit policy, I am afraid that the financial storm in the market will be even more severe."

He told Liu Fusheng that many leading companies in other industries had also encountered various problems, and some people were spreading rumors everywhere, saying that there would be a trade war between China and the United States, and that the United States would even launch a technological blockade and tariff sanctions on related fields of the Republic.

Liu Fusheng pondered, "Does the leader have any specific instructions regarding Chairman Chen Fei's illegal detention?"

Wang Heping said: "The leaders asked us to do everything possible to cooperate with the local embassy and friendly people in the United States to rescue Chairman Chen Fei as soon as possible."

"The Zhongwei Group founded by Chairman Chen has become my country's business card in the fields of communications and the Internet."

"Zhongwei's business is spread across Europe, Asia, and even America. In some technologies, it has reached the world's leading level. His safety cannot be compromised."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Chairman Chen's detention without reason will have a great negative impact on our country's high-tech enterprises, and may even suppress our country's rapid development momentum in all aspects."

Wang Heping smiled and said, "Governor Liu is aware of the importance of rescuing Chairman Chen, so I feel relieved. In addition, a senior leader has made a request that our delegation should try not to offend the Americans and must express our demands and positions in a tactful but respectful way."

"In the final analysis, it is about us avoiding direct conflict with the US government and not giving them the opportunity to impose economic sanctions on our country."

Liu Fusheng nodded with a wry smile. Chief Bai had already informed him about the situation.

What Wang Jianping said now is the official decision of the organization.

At this time, Zhou Xiaozhe, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Deputy Minister Wang, on the one hand, the country requires us to rescue Chairman Chen as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it asks us not to offend the Americans. This is like wanting the horse to run but not letting it eat grass... If we can't even say something tough and are timid, why should the Americans release Chairman Chen?"

Liu Fusheng's face darkened and he said, "Xiao Zhou, this is not something you should ask."

Zhou Xiaozhe immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Governor Liu, Deputy Minister Wang, I spoke too much."

In fact, this question was of course asked by Liu Fusheng through his mouth.

As the head of the delegation and vice governor of Guangdong Province, there are certain things he absolutely cannot say.

The organization asked Wang Heping to express his attitude, so Liu Fusheng naturally had to express his ideas to Wang Heping and the organization in his own way.

He knew Wang Heping very well and knew that he would definitely convey this attitude to the senior leaders.

Sure enough, Wang Heping also sighed and said, "There is nothing wrong with what Xiao Zhou said. The attitude of the organization this time has made our delegation very embarrassed. After many communications with the diplomatic department, we believe that there are two main effective ways at the moment."

"First, try to contact officials and congressmen in the U.S. government who have a favorable impression of the Republic and gain their support. Then, win over some influential entrepreneurs and ask them to mediate..."

“Second, it’s compromise.”

When it comes to the word "compromise", Wang Heping's expression becomes a little uncomfortable.

It is really embarrassing for a diplomat from a major country to talk about compromise before the negotiations even start. What's more, our country is in the right this time.
