Ji Xia also learned from Qin Xiao that this meeting was very successful, and the joint statement issued later also proved this.
Ji Xia doesn't care about state affairs.
Liang Qingjun learned that the original itinerary prepared by Palace B was that the American group would go to Hangzhou, but when the itinerary was sent to the top leader, it was changed to Bing County.
Bing County is just a small county in the northeast of China. It cannot be compared with Hangzhou City, which has enjoyed a thousand-year-old reputation.
But today, Bing County is famous all over the world for its developed industry.
From the moment the US special plane No. 1 arrived in China, its security was entirely taken over by the Chinese garrison. Qin Xiao's unit was temporarily reorganized into it and was responsible for the first round of searches along the way.
Ji Xia was invited to board the No. 1 special plane, and she got along quite well with Mrs. Linda.
At the airport, Mrs. Linda had someone grind a cup of coffee and handed it to Ji Xia. "Are you used to drinking this?"
It is black coffee without milk or sugar, which most people are not used to.
Ji Xia used to drink it often. She was still breastfeeding and had the child in the space with her. But she couldn't refuse. She took a sip and nodded, "I'm used to drinking it!"
"That's good!"
Mrs. Linda said, "I thought you wouldn't be used to it. After all, Orientals don't like bitter drinks. They prefer sweet things. They're different from us. Why is that?"
Ji Xia smiled. "Madam, I think you should have your own answer in your heart. I once heard someone ask you a question: You all like to eat sweet things. Is it because life is too bitter?"
Linda actually wanted to ask this question, but her status did not allow her to do such a rude thing. Even if she wanted to suppress the other party, she had to use a very tactful way. This is what is called cultivation.
Linda exclaimed "Ah" and pretended to be surprised, but the light in her eyes betrayed her thoughts.
"It's like how some countries enslaved black people to grow sugarcane many years ago. They wanted to eat something sweet, so they made others suffer and plant sugarcane for them.
But we Chinese are not like that. We want to eat sweet things ourselves, so we strive for it and work hard on our own.”
Linda was a little embarrassed because among those who enslaved black people to grow sugarcane plantations were Americans.
"Ms. Ji Xia, I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood you. Actually, I wanted to extend an invitation to you. If you want to drink such delicious coffee every day, you can come to the United States."
Ji Xia smiled and said, "Mrs. Linda, I grew up in the Northeast and will be returning to my hometown soon. There is no coffee here, but there are a lot of delicious food.
I am honored to show my hometown to Mrs. Linda and Your Excellency. It is beautiful and now very rich. It has fertile land and hardworking people. After seeing it, you will definitely fall in love with it!"
