Chapter 460 Southeast Asia (1)

Just when Jiang Ningyue was about to call Gu Meng, the intercom doorbell rang. Jiang Ningyue walked to the intercom and turned on the intercom.

"Minister Jiang, this is the security office. A Ms. Qiu Tong wants to visit you."

"Oh, she's my secretary. Please get her an access card."

"Okay, Minister Jiang."

Not long after, the doorbell rang and Jiang Ningyue opened the door. Two people stood outside. One was a woman in her early 30s, wearing a typical autumn business suit: an off-white suit, a dark long skirt, and high heels.

The other one was about 20 years old, with neat short hair and wearing a black suit.

"Leader, I'm Qiu Tong. This is Meng Peiyu, a comrade from the Security Bureau. The General Office applied for this specifically for you, considering the special nature of your work."

Ministerial leaders were not authorized to provide security guards. The two guards who had been assigned to Jiang Ningyue when she was at the vice-departmental level were supposed to be her "colleagues" at the Consulate General. They were merely temporary guards due to the special status of Jiang Ningyue and the importance of her work.

After Jiang Ningyue was transferred from the Consulate General of Myanmar, their security mission was lifted.

The same is true for Meng Peiyu this time.

"Hello."

Jiang Ningyue smiled and shook hands with the two of them, "Come in quickly."

After going into the house to change shoes, the two tried their best to limit their curiosity and not look around. At the same time, they put down the gifts in their hands.

"Leader, this is the gift we brought. It's a toy we bought for Ruoruo. It's a token of our appreciation."

Jiang Ningyue glanced at the gift box in the corner. It was indeed not worth much. As her secretary, it was her first visit. Without knowing her boss's personality, she would not give him anything particularly expensive.

"Okay, thank you. What would you like to drink?"

After hearing this, the two of them quickly stood up and said, "We can do it ourselves."

"Alright."

Jiang Ningyue nodded, "There's a tea bar machine over there, a coffee machine next to it, tea leaves in the cabinet, and drinks in the refrigerator."

Jiang Xingruo held Jiang Ningyue's hand and looked at the two strangers curiously.

Jiang Ningyue introduced with a smile: "Ruoruo, this is Aunt Qiu, and the other one is Aunt Meng."

Jiang Xingruo waved at the two of them and said, "Aunt Qiu, Aunt Meng, hello. Welcome to our home~"

"You must be Ruoruo, so cute."

Qiu Tong immediately smiled. Meng Peiyu was not good at speaking, but she also looked very happy.

Who wouldn't like such a cute child? Even if Jiang Xingruo made some mistakes, seeing such a pretty face would surely make all the resentment disappear.

"Go ahead and have fun by yourself."

Jiang Ningyue patted Jiang Xingruo, and Jiang Xingruo immediately ran back to his "playhouse" and started playing with his toys.

In the living room, Jiang Ningyue had a brief acquaintance and conversation with the two of them.

The two also had a preliminary understanding of Jiang Ningyue in advance.

Jiang Ningyue is highly regarded by both her profile and her former colleagues. She is a problem-free person in both work and life. She can be a bit stubborn and adventurous.

But it is understandable, after all, this leader has succeeded in every adventure he took.

"When does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs plan to visit Siam?"

Qiu Tong immediately replied, "January 7th of next year."

"Um."

Jiang Ningyue nodded. "It's a good time for me to settle my daughter down, and then we'll go to Siam. Qiutong, please help me collect the information. I've been away for over a year, so I don't know a lot of things."

"clear."

Qiu Tong nodded immediately and said, "I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"There's no need to rush. It will be done in two or three days."

Jiang Ningyue shook her head casually and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

Jiang Ningyue called Gu Meng, and after a moment, Gu Meng answered, "Hello, Mengmeng. Are you busy now?"

"What instructions does Director Jiang have?"

"Your news is out of date. I have been transferred back to the capital for work."

Jiang Ningyue chuckled. "I'll be going on a business trip soon. It might take seven or eight days, or even a month. Can you take Ruoruo with you for a while?"

"no problem."

Gu Meng smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this period of time, so I will take Ruoruo back to my home?"

"OK."

Jiang Ningyue agreed. If Gu Meng's parents knew that Jiang Xingruo was willing to live in their house for a while, they would definitely be very happy.

In fact, there is some thought behind this. If Jiang Xingruo is with them, the Security Bureau and the Guard Bureau will protect them as well.

"Then I'll fly to the capital tomorrow."

"I'm not in such a hurry."

"Hahaha, nothing happened now."

"Okay." What else could Jiang Ningyue say?

Qiu Tong glanced at Meng Peiyu silently, and found that Meng Peiyu was not in sync with her, so Qiu Tong could only lower her head silently.

After Jiang Ningyue hung up the phone, she looked at Qiu Tong and said, "The person I just called is my best friend, Gu Meng, who is also my daughter's godmother. Please save her number. If she can't get through to me, I'll ask her to call you."

"Okay." Qiu Tong had no objection.

Afterwards, Jiang Ningyue made another call, but this time she used the speakerphone.

Soon, a middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the line, "Hahahaha, General Jiang. How do you have time to look for me?"

"President Pashan, are you available to talk now?"

"It would definitely be inconvenient for someone else to call. Since it's Director Jiang who's calling you, then it must be convenient for me."

Pashan's voice was very enthusiastic. "General Jiang, do you have any instructions?"

"I've been transferred back to the Foreign Affairs Department, specifically responsible for sorting out the situation in Southeast Asia and liaising with Southeast Asian countries. President Pasang, I heard there's unrest in Kachin State in your country?"

Pashan chuckled twice. "Yeah, yeah, those damn guys! I've been so kind to them, but they're still not satisfied. They're even demanding independence."

Jiang Ningyue continued, "I will visit Siam on the 7th of next month. I hope this minor issue in Kachin State can be resolved before the 5th. During this time, you should gather the troops and prepare to help Siam quell the rebellion."

Pashan was stunned for a few seconds and wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he just asked: "What about the China-Myanmar Railway?"

"The China-Myanmar Railway and the oil and gas pipeline are our inherent assets of Dongda. We will arrange people to protect them."

"If that's the case, then I have no problem."

Pashan immediately responded, "Don't worry, I will immediately deploy troops to resolve the issue in Kachin State."

"Yeah, that's it."

After saying that, Jiang Ningyue hung up the phone and looked at the stunned Qiu Tong.

Being able to serve as Jiang Ningyue's secretary, Qiu Tong naturally has some understanding of foreign affairs.

When Pasang was the governor of Shan State, his attitude was very good, but after becoming president, he changed significantly. He would immediately refuse some of Dongda's requests as long as they involved his interests.

Dongda also reminded that as an ally, Myanmar should provide assistance to Siam.

However, Pashan refused to send troops, citing the unstable domestic situation.

But now, Jiang Ningyue just made a phone call and said a few simple words, and the other party agreed.

Is this reasonable?
