“Pah pah…”
At this time, a soldier walked in and saluted Wang Lao and Lin Xiao, "Commander!"
Mr. Wang said, "Take Miss Zhao out for a walk!"
"Yes, Chief!"
"Miss Zhao, please!"
Zhao Liying looked at Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao nodded, knowing that there was something serious to discuss. Although Zhao Liying was his woman, she was also a Dragon citizen and a public figure. It was not appropriate for her to listen to matters concerning diplomacy.
After Zhao Liying left, Mr. Wang pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Lin Xiao. He then lit one and put it between his lips, saying with a smile, "I'm addicted to cigarettes. There's nothing I can do about it. I know you smoke, too. I wanted to send a fleet to support you some time ago, but someone stopped me. I'm sure you know what he's up to."
Lin Xiao shrugged. He only looked at actions. What was the use of talking big?
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm sure you've seen how tyrannical the United States is. Over the years, some countries, led by the United States, have been eyeing Dragon Country and Bear Country covetously, suppressing Dragon Country's development and intensifying ideological confrontation."
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Mr. Wang said slowly, "That's why many countries that don't want to follow the United States choose to band together for warmth. Longguo is the 'big brother' that can stand in front of them, and we are willing to play this role. Longguo has always emphasized the importance of peace and practiced the concept of mutual respect and win-win cooperation. Longguo is very willing to strengthen cooperation with these countries, unite and cooperate for common development, and jointly promote world peace, security and development."
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I came here with the sincerity of cooperation. You should know that I want to build Daxia into a tourist city, which requires a floating population. Longguo is the most populous country in the world, so..."
"Haha, we never restrict the freedom of the people. It is their right to go wherever they want. Once Dragon Country and Daxia establish diplomatic relations, we will open shipping between the two countries and guarantee the personal safety of tourists."
Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction, the purpose of this trip was achieved.
After all, Lin Xiao was just an ordinary person in his previous life and didn't understand these diplomatic matters. Therefore, he didn't have much expectations and didn't ask for help from Longguo. There is no free lunch in the world, and he had to be cautious when cooperating with a superpower like Longguo.
As long as the Dragon Kingdom does not hold people back at customs, the population of Daxia will grow exponentially. In the face of absolute strength, all evil spirits will disappear.
Mr. Wang looked at his watch and said with a smile, "We don't have lobster or bluefin tuna here. We only have some home-cooked dishes. I'll have to ask you to make do with one bite. We'll hold a press conference this afternoon after lunch."
When he saw the dishes on the table, Lin Xiao also had a new understanding of what Mr. Wang called home-cooked meals.
The first dish, boiled cabbage, looks plain and simple, like a few cabbage hearts soaked in clear water, without a trace of oil, but it tastes elegant and fragrant, with a rich aroma, and is not greasy.
The spicy and salty flavor of Kung Pao Chicken, the rich meaty aroma of Lion's Head, the beautiful squirrel mandarin fish, the rich wine aroma of Dongpo pork, the fat but not greasy Capital Roast Duck, the smooth and tender Wensi tofu...
Especially the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which filled the whole jar with fragrance and tasted fresh and mellow, making Lin Xiao exclaim that it was really enjoyable.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mr. Wang, the home-cooked dishes you mentioned are really extraordinary!"
"Haha, if you like it, eat more. Dragon Country's food culture has a long history. Even if you change the food every day, you won't have the same thing twice in ten years."
Lin Xiao enjoyed the meal very much. Compared with Western food such as steak, Lin Xiao still prefers Longguo cuisine. He is thinking of bringing a few Longguo chefs back to the island and eating different dishes every day.
Zhao Liying sat upright, sipping her food like a lady. She also felt that the ingredients here were delicious and the taste was pure. Most importantly, the ingredients here were specially supplied without any pesticides, so people could eat them with absolute peace of mind.
"Burp~~~"
Hearing Lin Xiao patting his stomach and burping continuously, the soldier leading the way tried hard to suppress his laughter. This was the first time he had met a foreign guest who ate like Lin Xiao. Leaders of other countries only tasted a little, fearing that their eating habits would harm the interests of their own country. They were not like Lin Xiao who ate himself to the point of stuffing himself.
Zhao Liying blushed slightly and pinched Lin Xiao secretly. Could it be that the place where this guy came from was a barren planet?
Lin Xiao now had time to look around the center of the Dragon Kingdom. There were courtyards, pavilions, lakes, lush trees and green waters, which made people feel relaxed and happy at the sight.
After returning to the hotel and closing the door, Zhao Liying's shoulders slumped instantly. She was exhausted this morning. She had to correct her posture and manage her expression, for fear that a mistake would trigger a negative chain reaction.
She didn't lose face, but the person next to her...
Zhao Liying hit Lin Xiao and said angrily, "Why don't you be serious? This is the most solemn and serious place in Dragon Country. It's home to important figures who determine the fate of billions of people. But you're so careless. Even if you have a system..."
Lin Xiao covered Zhao Liying's mouth with his hand. Although he didn't believe that there would be any eavesdropping devices installed here, it was inevitable that there would be a chance.
Moreover, there are constant secret wars between countries, and there might be spies who would take risks and sneak in to install eavesdropping devices.
Zhao Liying quickly shut up, her face turned slightly pale, realizing that she had said something wrong. This was not Lin Xiao's territory.
"Um?"
In a dimly lit room, a man wearing headphones was listening intently to the conversation, but he lost focus at the crucial moment.
"Mr. Qian, that Lin Xiao really has a secret."
Qiangui tapped his thigh, his eyes deep, and said slowly, "Will the eavesdropping device you installed be discovered?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Qian. I installed the bug in the floor and covered it with an anti-detection partition. They will definitely not be able to find it."
"Well, keep monitoring. Don't miss a single word."
.......
Lin Xiao lay on the bed, hugged Zhao Liying, and kissed her on the forehead. "Are you going to the press conference this afternoon?"
"No, I'm not going!"
Zhao Liying was still in shock, realizing that the relationship between countries was too complicated, with eavesdropping, conspiracy and even assassination happening all the time.
She thought the entertainment industry was complicated enough, with everyone fighting for resources to the death, calling each other sisters on the surface but secretly buying press releases to discredit you...
But compared to this, it is nothing. The entertainment industry does not involve human lives, but the conflicts between countries determine the rise and fall of a country and may even trigger wars.
Zhao Liying decided that she would never get involved in such things again. She would stay quietly by Lin Xiao's side and be his woman.
Zhao Liying came to her senses and explained, "After all, I'm a top-tier star, and there are nearly twenty other top-tier stars. Although I'm a top star, the gap between us isn't that big. If I'm one level better than them, they'll just be envious; but if I'm two levels better, then they'll just hate me. There's a lot of overt and covert fighting in the entertainment industry, and I can't stand up to their attacks."
