Coming
The next day, a brief statement was simultaneously pushed to all mainstream media around the world through the Chinese authorities.
Tomorrow at 10:00 AM, in Conference Room 1 of the State Guest House, Ms. Zhong Ling will meet with the joint negotiation team. The entire meeting will be broadcast live worldwide.
There was no extra explanation, not even an official letterhead, it seemed like just a notification of an insignificant matter.
As soon as this news came out, it instantly exploded around the world.
The mysterious Ms. Zhong Ling is finally about to appear, and many people are looking forward to this live broadcast.
"She's going to show up! She's really going to show up!"
"Oh my god, is this going to be a showdown in front of the whole world?"
"The official Chinese wording is so strange. Ms. Zhong Ling will... the subject is her, not the Chinese nation!"
Inside the State Guest House, Arthur Hamilton threw his tablet computer on the table with a determined smile on his face.
In his opinion, China must have been unable to withstand the pressure and was forced to play this last card.
What could an ordinary person understand, even if she had a little adventure? As long as she appeared in front of the camera, they had countless ways to make her agree to share.
"Let everyone know, be prepared! Tomorrow, we're going to put on a spectacular show.
Anyone who dares to make a mistake will have to wait and see."
Hamilton gave orders to his team.
…
At 9:50 the next morning, the No. 1 Conference Hall of the State Guesthouse was already full.
Global media personnel turned their cameras to the negotiation table.
The joint negotiation team headed by Hamilton sat on one side of the long table in suits and ties, smiling.
On the other side, Zhou Zhenguo, Qiao Jianmin and others had serious expressions and their backs were straight, but their clenched fists still revealed their inner tension.
Time passes by every second.
At ten o'clock sharp, the seat reserved for Zhong Ling was still empty, and no one showed up.
Ten past five, still the same.
At ten ten, the smile on Hamilton's face faded a little. He glanced at his watch and frowned slightly.
There was a slight commotion in the venue, and the comments on the online live broadcast were flying everywhere.
"Late? Late for an occasion like this?"
"What does this mean? Is this a show of force for the joint negotiation team?"
"That's a bit rude..."
Zhou Zhenguo's heart was in his throat. He had no idea how Zhong Ling would behave, and his palms were sweaty.
At this moment, the small door on the side of the conference room was gently pushed open.
A young girl in a white T-shirt and jeans walked in.
She has short hair and no makeup.
She glanced around and then walked straight to the empty seat.
She pulled out a chair and sat down, not showing the slightest bit of nervousness.
Is this still the person who is bullied in the workplace?
The next second, everyone came back to their senses.
Hamilton was the first to react. With a smile on his face, he leaned forward and asked in a gentle voice, "I guess this must be Ms. Zhong Ling. Hello, I am Arthur Hamilton.
First of all, please allow me to express my highest respect to you on behalf of the joint negotiating team and all peace-loving people around the world. Your presence is..."
He planned to praise Zhong Ling first and flatter her.
However, he was interrupted halfway through his words.
Zhong Ling took a sip of the tea on the table, then raised her eyelids and looked at Hamilton, her eyes as if she was looking at an object.
"Tell me, what did you call me for?"
Zhong Ling went straight to the point, leaving Hamilton's carefully prepared opening remarks stuck in his throat.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, adjusted his expression, and got to the point.
"Ms. Zhong Ling, we invite you here today with the utmost sincerity.
The emergence of the YX factor will benefit all mankind and should not be restricted by national boundaries.
For the health and future of all mankind, we hope you can share this great achievement with the world.
We, the Group of Seven, can provide you with the world’s top laboratories, the most abundant financial support, and a high-level team. We…”
Hamilton spoke eloquently, and every sentence he said was about "human welfare."
Behind the camera, countless viewers were moved by his words and left messages to agree with him.
Zhou Zhenguo and Qiao Jianmin felt very nervous. They looked at Zhong Ling, wondering how she would respond.
However, Zhong Ling's reaction once again surprised everyone.
She didn't refute or argue, and even her expression didn't change.
She just looked at Hamilton quietly, as if watching a poor performance.
Just when Hamilton reached the climax of his speech and was about to propose a specific cooperation plan, Zhong Ling shook her head slightly, as if impatient, and then raised her right hand.
Her fingers were slender and white, gently stroking the air.
Rays of golden light appeared in the air along with her fingertips, forming a mysterious rune.
The runes glowed brightly and stayed in the air, floating slowly.
Everyone was stunned.
What is she doing?
Just wave your fingers in the air and something golden appears. Is that a special effect?
Hamilton paused, and then a trace of contempt and ridicule flashed in his eyes.
She is indeed a woman who is not presentable. She actually plays tricks in such an occasion.
He was about to sneer when he saw the golden rune tremble slightly and instantly turned into a dozen invisible light spots, floating towards each member of the joint negotiation team and sinking into their eyebrows.
Everything happened so fast that people had no time to react.
Hamilton didn't take it seriously, snorted lightly, cleared his throat, and prepared to continue his speech.
"The previous BD is our latest achievement, codenamed "Scavenger".
We have calculated that it could clear one-third of the world's surface within three months, which would greatly reduce our burden.
Leaking it out and then giving it to Huaxia is to make you hand over the YX factor. This is the most perfect part of our plan."
The moment the words fell, the whole world seemed to be paused.
Hamilton himself looked as pale as death. He widened his eyes in horror and tried to cover his mouth with his hands, but his body was completely out of control.
The representative from Country Y beside him, a veteran diplomat with graying hair, spoke up immediately: "We from Country Y will be responsible for the distribution, using our organizations abroad to spread the initial generation of samples to other countries."
The whole world froze.
The reporter forgot to press the shutter, the cameraman forgot to move the lens, and everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they heard.
Hamilton's face drained of all color, and he covered his mouth tightly, but his voice still came out uncontrollably:
"In order to successfully take the vegetable samples out of Huaxia, we sacrificed our Ace Agent Spider and the entire Shangjing intelligence network, and had them taken out by unsuspecting tourists."
Beside him, the representative from Country E also spoke expressionlessly, "We will be responsible for assisting and handing over information to a third-party organization to ensure that all governments can speak with one voice and exert pressure together."
Next came the representative from Country E: "We are responsible for shaping online public opinion and buying off media outlets and internet influencers from various countries."
