Lin Qingqing also pretended she didn't exist.
She is now more concerned about the compensation from Country R.
"Minister Tang, can we talk for a moment?"
The two came to the backyard.
"Country R has obediently sent all the compensation. Mr. Zhang said that this matter should not be made public for now and will be discussed later."
Lin Qingqing nodded silently.
Perhaps he was afraid that if Mr. Lin knew that Mr. Zhang had done such a big thing, he would be provoked to take even bigger actions to obstruct the holding of the trade fair.
The two chatted for a few more words about related matters and then returned to the hall.
Then Yang Shaolan said in a sarcastic tone: "Mrs. Tang, that Lieutenant General Lin is so young and beautiful. She is talking to Minister Tang alone, and you are not worried at all?"
When Mrs. Tang heard this, she looked at Yang Shaolan like a fool.
Sarcastically, he gave a smile.
Look at Minister Li.
Anyway, it's the Li family that's embarrassed.
Minister Li was about to speak when Mrs. He, Chen Qili, snorted coldly, "Yang Shaolan, I heard that the Yang family has excellent upbringing. Mr. and Mrs. Yang are kind and fair. Don't you feel that you are embarrassing the Yang family by saying these things?"
Yang Shaolan raised her eyebrows and said, "Chen Qili, I have provoked you, but your words are too harsh."
Chen Qili: "General Lin is our family's benefactor, and you said she didn't say a word."
Yang Shaolan raised her arms and was about to say something, but Minister Li and Li Yurui grabbed her arms on both sides at the same time.
Minister Li had a bit of anger on his face and lowered his voice and said, "Shao Lan, can you please stop messing around? Today is Minister Chen's family's wedding."
Yang Shaolan glared at Minister Li and caught a glimpse of Lin Qingqing returning.
He curled his lips and said nothing more.
Minister Tang sat down and saw that Mrs. Tang looked unwell. He asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Tang glanced at Yang Shaolan and shook her head: "It's okay."
He put on a smile again and looked at Lin Qingqing, asking her how her four children were doing recently.
Lin Qingqing pretended not to notice the exchange of glances and chatted with Mrs. Tang about family matters.
Just like Minister Li said, today is Vice Minister Chen's family's happy occasion. If they quarrel, it will not only make Vice Minister Chen look bad, but also make others laugh at them.
And some people just can't make sense.
After a while, the banquet started.
Lin Qingqing was arranged to sit at the main seat. She refused twice but failed, so she and Song Yiyuan stayed at the main seat.
After Deputy Minister Chen's introduction, everyone knew Lin Qingqing's identity.
After dinner, Lin Qingqing exchanged a few words with Deputy Minister Chen and Chen Qiuchan before getting in the car.
After leaving the compound of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I saw Tong Yiyong holding a bicycle not far from the gate.
"Dayong, why are you here?"
Song Yiyuan rolled down the window and greeted him.
"I'm waiting for someone here."
Lin Qingqing saw that he had a constant smile on his face, just like Xiaoqing when she was in love.
"Is it He Xiujie?"
Tong Yiyong's eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded without hesitation: "I'm dating her."
"Is your family willing?"
The Tong family has a great influence in the military, so one can imagine their family background.
The He family is a political family, and their marriage would be good for both families, but He Xiujie is divorced, and the Tong family may not be able to accept it.
"My grandfather and dad don't have any objections, but my mom still needs some thought. I'll try to resolve these issues before we get engaged. Then we can move out and live on our own. I'm not joining the army anyway."
Seeing that he was clear in his mind, Lin Qingqing smiled and wished him well: "Brother, I wish you can find your beautiful wife soon."
"Sister is still the best."
Tong Yiyong glanced at Song Yiyuan and said with a smile.
Seeing the He family coming out, he waved his hand and let Lin Qingqing and Song Yiyuan go first.
He immediately touched his hair and adjusted his clothes, looking nervous and uneasy.
Lin Qingqing smiled and teased him, then left.
