Chapter 656 The Old Man Comes to the Door
The British Embassy:
Zhang Wenqian rushed to the British Embassy and had no time to drink water before he immediately convened a meeting.
This is about Huaxing Island. Now the island where Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci are located is officially named Huaxing Island.
This name was given by the merchant who bought the island. He never told anyone about it, but wrote it in his notebook.
The leader decided to use the name given by Mr. Shang.
Zhang Wenqian will be the British ambassador to the UK in the future, and he will be responsible for handling all matters concerning Huaxing Island.
After several years of experience, Zhang Wenqian, now in his early thirties, is more stable than before, and his eyes behind the glasses are sharper.
He looked at all the colleagues present, introduced himself to them, and then mentioned the matter of Huaxing Island: "Other countries have publicly acknowledged that Huaxing Island belongs to China. This is all public, but it does not mean that they will not do something behind the scenes."
"According to the information we received, a group of people from the Ugly Kingdom, the British Empire, and several other countries secretly went to Huaxing Island."
Speaking of this, Zhang Wenqian thought of Huo Lanci, who was in charge of the safety of Huaxing Island. Thinking of Xiaowu, he was extremely worried, but his face did not show any abnormality.
He said: "Our troops are still on the way. According to the itinerary, they will need another 20 days to reach Huaxing Island."
After hearing this, someone quickly said, "Captain Huo and Captain Qiu only brought about a hundred people to Huaxing Island."
"According to the information we received, several hundred of them have already left. I am now worried that they will not be able to hold on until the army arrives."
This is also what Zhang Wenqian is most worried about.
He believed in the abilities of Huo Lanci and Xiaowu, and also believed in the leaders' vision in selecting people, but two fists could not beat four hands.
Zhang Wenqian said: "We can see what supplies were on the ship when they left."
Winter is approaching, and even if they are able to hold on, they will be worn out if they don't have supplies for a long time.
Not only supplies but also people need to be sent.
But where can I find a group of people?
The leader allowed him to act according to circumstances and had full authority to take charge of Huaxing Island affairs. This was a special matter and there had never been such a precedent before. Therefore, he was under a lot of pressure now, fearing that he would make a wrong decision and bring losses to the country.
The biggest problem Huaxing Island is facing now is that there are no people and no supplies.
The supplies are fine, just figure it out.
The biggest difficulty is for those who have no support.
These are what Huaxing Island needs most right now.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour, all to discuss how to resolve the issue. After the meeting, before Zhang Wenqian had even eaten, he heard his assistant say, "Mr. Ye Huayi wants to see you."
When they came to London, they had already checked the situation of some Chinese here, so they naturally knew about the Ye family.
"Where is it?" Zhang Wenqian asked as he walked out, "What can I say?"
In order to raise supplies, I needed local Chinese businessmen. Before I went to visit them, Mr. Ye Huayi came first.
This surprised him a little.
The assistant said, "I don't know. The old man said he would only discuss this with you."
As Zhang Wenqian walked out of the embassy, he saw several cars parked not far away, and he hurried forward.
When Ye Huayi saw Zhang Wenqian, he quickly got out of the car. After the two shook hands and exchanged greetings, Ye Huayi smiled and said, "I want to treat you to a meal and talk about the supplies."
After hearing this, Zhang Wenqian quickly said, "I'll treat you."
I felt that the way this old gentleman looked at me was as if he was looking at his own children, nephews, and grandchildren, with kindness and love.
Zhang Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously and put himself in the position of a younger generation.
Furthermore, what Mr. Ye Huayi did is also worthy of his respect.
Ye Huayi laughed when he heard this: "Okay, I won't be polite with you."
"This is my honor." He smiled and helped the old man into the car. Then he told his assistant to go back and rest. He turned around, got in the car and left with Mr. Ye.
Ye Huayi smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll deceive you?"
Zhang Wen smiled lightly: "Then just treat it as inviting the elders in the family to have a meal and chat."
Ye Huayi laughed, and when he looked at Zhang Wenqian, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"You probably don't know, but I'm the grandfather of Yu Wanqing and Yu Jiazhi, and Yu Zhian is my biological son."
Zhang Wenqian was shocked. He looked at Ye Huayi with disbelief: "Is this true?"
Ye Huayi nodded and took out a photo: "Take a look."
After listening to this, Zhang Wenqian took the photo and his eyes instantly locked onto a young and beautiful girl.
He recognized the girl in the photo at a glance.
God is a bit cruel. He rarely has the chance to dream about Xiaowu in recent years, but he can always remember her appearance clearly.
She stood beside Huo Lanci, smiling happily, and one could tell at a glance that she was living a happy life.
Standing next to him is Jiazhi.
In front of the three sat two elderly people, Mr. Ye Huayi and Ms. Yin Siyan.
Zhang Wenqian believed what Ye Huayi said: "I never thought we would have such a fate."
He really didn't expect that the leader of the famous wealthy family on which the sun never sets was actually Uncle Yu's biological father.
"This photo was taken when they came to visit me before they went out to sea. This was also the first time I saw my grandson." Ye Huayi stroked the photo and whispered softly, "If Xiaowu hadn't found us when he was on a mission at the British Empire, we wouldn't have known that my biological son would have survived the chaos in the country."
Zhang Wenqian thought secretly in his heart: Not only is he alive, he is living well. You don't have to worry at all.
It is true that like father, like son. Mr. and Mrs. Ye are so capable, and Uncle Yu is also so capable.
Ye Huayi took Zhang Wenqian to the Ye family manor for dinner. Yin Siyan prepared a few simple dishes at home. Zhang Wenqian could tell that these were cooked by Yin Siyan herself.
If it is a dish cooked by a chef, it must be very exquisite.
He hurriedly greeted Ms. Yin.
Yin Siyan smiled and looked at the person in front of her, and said slowly: "Hurry up and eat, we can talk while we eat."
Zhang Wenqian sat down with a smile: "I'm really sorry to bother you today."
"Don't say that. We are actually relatives." Yin Siyan said with a smile, "Your sister married my eldest grandson, so our two families are in-laws. When you come to the British Empire, you should treat this place as your own home. When you leave the embassy, you will be our own grandson."
Although Rao is a man in his thirties with a lot of knowledge and experience, he was deeply moved when he heard these words.
He has been abroad for many years. Even when he goes back, he is always in a hurry. He doesn't even have time to go home, and he rushes to the next place to take up his post.
"Grandpa Ye, Grandma Yin." Zhang Wenqian smiled at the two of them and said, "Today I will shamelessly call you that."
"Good shout." Ye Huayi and Yin Siyan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
During the meal, Ye Huayi suddenly mentioned the matter of Huaxing Island: "I have prepared a batch of supplies, and secretly found a lot of people, all of whom are Chinese. They are good at fighting. You can decide how to arrange them."
Zhang Wenqian was shocked when he heard this and looked towards the old man who was sitting not far away and eating calmly.
