The rapid knock on the door was like thunder, shattering the tranquility on the ridge of the field.

Lu Qing's heart sank. This sudden change made him smell something unusual.

When the door opened, the village cadre, Lao Wang, looked panicked and said hurriedly, "Lu Qing, Qiqi, this is bad! Something big has happened!"

"Old Wang, take your time and tell me what happened?" Shen Qiqi asked calmly, although she felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.

Old Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke rapidly, "Several countries have suddenly announced they're severing diplomatic relations with us. They've even joined forces with other countries to boycott our village, claiming they want to isolate us! Right now, the diplomatic office is in complete chaos!"

"What?!" Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing exclaimed in unison, their faces instantly becoming solemn.

They hurried to the village foreign affairs office. Along the way, the uneasy atmosphere surged like a tide, making it hard to breathe.

The village foreign affairs office was brightly lit at this moment, but the atmosphere was as cold as an ice cellar.

The office director was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth, holding several documents in his hands and frowning.

Seeing Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing coming, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and hurried to greet them.

"Qiqi, Lu Qing, you're finally here! This situation is very tricky!" The director handed them the documents in his hand. "Look, several countries have united to launch a diplomatic boycott against us. Our diplomatic channels have been blocked, and many cooperation projects have stalled. What should we do?"

Shen Qiqi took the document, glanced through it quickly, and her expression became increasingly gloomy.

The document clearly stated in black and white that several countries had issued a joint statement, calling for a complete blockade of their village and the suspension of all cooperation projects.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue and a fatal blow to the development of their village.

She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

The importance of diplomatic relations is self-evident. Once isolated, the consequences will be disastrous.

She could feel the heavy atmosphere around her, and the villagers' worries and anxieties spread like a virus.

Lu Qing also frowned and looked at the document carefully, his face ashen.

He knew very well how great the impact of this diplomatic crisis was on the village. It was not only an economic loss, but also a huge blow to their village's reputation.

Shen Qiqi put down the documents and looked up at Lu Qing with a firm and decisive look.

"Lu Qing, we have to find a way to break the deadlock!"

Lu Qing nodded, a determined glint in his eyes.

"Qiqi, I believe in you, we will definitely find a solution!"

Shen Qiqi walked to the window, looking at the dark night sky outside, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

The joint boycott by external forces is coming with great force. What conspiracy is hidden behind this?

How should they deal with this sudden diplomatic storm?

"Lu Qing," Shen Qiqi turned around, her eyes sharp, "I think..." She paused, her tone low, "I'm afraid things aren't that simple..."

Shen Qiqi did not rush directly to the diplomatic front to confront those boycotting countries head-on, but took a different approach and tried to "save the country in a roundabout way."

She decided to first engage in cultural exchanges with several neutral countries and use "sugar-coated bullets" to stabilize her position.

As soon as the news came out, the village was in an uproar.

The villagers said one after another: Sister Qiqi, what are we going to do?

Play cultural exchange?

What's the use of this?

The atmosphere of doubt was like fallen autumn leaves, floating everywhere in the village.

"Everyone, please calm down!" Lu Qing stood up and calmed the villagers. "Qiqi must have her reasons for doing this. Now all we have to do is to fully cooperate and show the best side of our village!" As Lu Qing spoke, she coordinated various affairs in an orderly manner, just like a good wife.

Shen Qiqi was busy selecting suitable cultural products, like a shrewd buyer, and she wanted to pack up all the treasures in the village and take them away.

While selecting, she was thinking about how to make these "local specialties" shine on the international stage.

However, when the boycott country saw Shen Qiqi's actions, they immediately couldn't sit still.

They increased diplomatic pressure and began to threaten neutral countries: If you dare to cooperate with this village, don't blame us for being rude!

Now, the neutral countries are a little panicked.

The originally firm stance began to waver, and the tense atmosphere was like a thunderstorm in a summer afternoon, which could break out at any time.

"It seems that we have to take the initiative!" Shen Qiqi

Lu Qing also understood what she meant and nodded firmly: "Okay! I'll do as you say!"

As night fell, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the flashing lights in the distance, their hearts filled with fighting spirit.

"Lu Qing, inform everyone that we will set off early tomorrow morning!" Shen Qiqi's tone was firm and unquestionable.

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's resolute eyes and knew that a tough battle was about to begin.

He took a deep breath, turned around and strode towards the village committee...

The next morning, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing set out in a mighty procession with the carefully selected "Cultural Special Forces" and "Technology Team".

Although it is said to be a grand procession, it is actually just a few donkey carts loaded with a wide variety of local specialties and some small inventions that look mysterious and impressive.

Their first stop was the neutral country A.

As soon as she got off the donkey cart, Shen Qiqi felt a strong exotic atmosphere.

The representative of Country A looked at the group of villagers in "strange costumes" with a bewildered look on his face, and wondered in his heart: Are they really here to engage in diplomacy and not to have a fashion show?
