The Chinese are a strange nation. In peacetime, they fight among themselves fiercely and are typically jealous of others. Within the system, they are even more particular about taking sides. As the saying goes, the better you flatter, the sooner you will be promoted.

However, when faced with national disasters or national problems, the Chinese people become extremely united and are willing to sacrifice their lives regardless of gains and losses.

Qin Shi called Vice Minister Tie Changsheng, but it was impossible for Tie Changsheng to stop the trade conference involving the two countries just because of Qin Shi's call. The risk was too great.

Since Qin Shi said with certainty that he had found the blocking rope, let you explain it yourself.

Tie Changsheng would not take the blame, but he gave Qin Shi a chance on the phone.

For forty minutes, you just step on the accelerator and leave the rest to the finance department.

This is the best condition Tie Changsheng has given!

Qin Shi, who had just rushed downstairs, bumped into Director Lu who had just walked in. Seeing Director Lu's tired face, as if he was still hungover, Qin Shi almost knocked Director Lu down in a panic.

"Boy, what are you doing? You're so flustered!"

"Director Lu, I don't have time to go into details. I'll explain it to you later..."

Qin Shi greeted Director Lu, but he showed no intention of stopping. He had only said half of his words when he rushed out of the office building.

Qin Shi got into his newly bought Civic and started the car. However, even the Civic, which was known for its amazing air quality, had no room to develop on the roads of Kyoto, where speed limits were everywhere.

Fortunately, with Minister Tie's promise, Qin Shi suddenly seemed to have a sense of superiority as a sword-wielding guard. He took advantage of every opportunity and, with the mentality that the bravest of two will prevail when they meet on a narrow road, rushed directly to the Ministry of National Defense.

"It's 8:25 now, the trade fair starts at 9:00, and I have 35 minutes left!"

Qin Shi's mind is now full of time. He dares not waste every second. No matter the speeding radar, yellow light, or red light, as long as safety is guaranteed, Qin Shi has maximized the performance of his car.

This was the longest red light Qin Shi had ever waited for in his life. After this red light, he could get on the ring road and the speed would be much faster.

While Qin Shi was busy on his way, in a hall of the Ministry of National Defense, representatives from China and the United States had already taken their seats. Even the contract to be signed had been taken and stood beside them. As soon as the time came, both parties would sign.

The meeting was about to begin in ten minutes. Tie Changsheng, a participant, came to a senior official of the Ministry of National Defense.

"Lao Liu, you know Xiao Qin from our unit, the one I met last week!"

"It's the young man who came in when the three of us were chatting. I remember him!" Old Liu nodded.

"He just called me and it seems like there's some progress regarding the arresting cable!"

"Oh? Really? How far has it gone?" Officer Liu was immediately attracted.

"Hmm... I'm not quite sure yet. Do you think this transaction can be postponed, even until the afternoon?"

Tie Changsheng didn't dare to guarantee for Qin Shi. After all, there had been no news about this matter before. How come there was news suddenly? As a mature cadre, he understood the principle of not releasing the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

But what if? Tie Changsheng was caught between two departments. He couldn't pretend not to hear about this kind of thing, so he had to bite the bullet and inform Lao Liu.

"My friend, you're a veteran among ministerial officials. This deal is ostensibly signed between China and a company from the United States, but the underlying relationship is complicated and the whole world is watching. How can the time be changed?"

No matter how small the matter is, as long as it is raised to the national level, it will be the focus of everyone's attention and no deviation is allowed.

"I understand. I'm also thinking about the country and your Ministry of National Defense!" Tie Changsheng looked up at the door and muttered softly.

"That young man from your company the other day, he's new to the job, right? Was the content of his call more important, or was the meeting between the two countries more important?"

"I understand. I've already called him over. He said he has a sample!"

"What sample? Arresting cable?"

Tie Changsheng said nothing, but nodded. Old Liu also stopped talking, but frowned. It was obvious that he was now in the same dilemma as Liu Tiesheng, stuck in a dilemma of neither advancing nor retreating.

"Can you make it in five minutes?"

"That's what I told you. It's useless for me to tell you whether I can make it to you or not. It depends on luck!"

The officer named Liu called a guard over, gave him some instructions, and then walked to the signing table under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.

I can't stop the signing, and as for whether the boy named Qin can arrive, it all depends on luck.

The time was up, representatives from both sides had taken their seats, all the participants had taken their seats, reporters from various countries had taken their places, and the emcee did not exaggerate anything. Although this purchase was important, it was not a glorious thing to buy a steel cable from another country.

Especially since reporters from all over the world are present, any verbal errors or even facial expressions may have a negative impact on the country. The purpose of this meeting is to sign the documents as quickly as possible in a low-key manner.

The etiquette lady had already turned the contract to the signature page and placed it in front of the representatives from the Ministry of National Defense and the United States. Once signed, everything was settled.

The Chinese side is anxious to sign, but the representatives of the United States are not in a hurry.

"Oh, General Liu Jianguo, you don't look very happy?"

"Haha, there's nothing to be happy about in this matter itself, right? You should be the ones who are happy!" Although Liu Jianguo tried hard to control his expression, his eyes still revealed dissatisfaction.

"Don't say that. We are already very sincere. The original price was 30 million Chinese Yuan, but now it's only 3 million Yuan, which is less than 20 million Yuan. We are already giving it to you for the sake of the friendly relations between our two countries!"

"Twenty million for an arresting cable, do you think I should thank you?"

If it weren't for the flashes of cameras from reporters from various countries flashing below, Liu Jianguo really wanted to go up and pin that foreigner to the ground and beat him ninety-nine times.

He ran a red light and exceeded the speed limit, and at 9:03, Qin Shi arrived at the Ministry of National Defense.

Fortunately, Liu Jianguo had just made arrangements and let Qin Shi’s car pass through the gate, allowing it to drive directly to the transaction location.

When Qin Shi got off the car and ran out, it was already 9:10. A bad premonition came to Qin Shi's mind.

At the meeting, Liu Jianguo could no longer bear the ridicule from the Americans. If he continued talking, he really couldn't control his fists.

"Alright, you guys are awesome, so hurry up and sign!"

The emcee handed the pen to the two representatives. As long as the two signed, exchanged and signed again, the ceremony was completed.

But just as both parties signed and were about to exchange the contract, a discordant voice came out as the door of the hall opened.

"Don't sign, I have something to say!"

The contract that was about to be exchanged was snatched back by Liu Jianguo, who then looked up at it expressionlessly.

"Boy, whether you will be embarrassed or proud today depends on you!"
