No. 602: Attitude of inviting ambassadors from various countries to a banquet
"Xiao Jiang, invite Johnson and the others to the banquet hall on the sixth floor. Tell them that I'm hosting the banquet myself and invite them to attend." Su Zhengyang instructed his secretary Fu Jiang in the government affairs center building.
Fu Jiang quickly nodded in response: "I understand, President."
At this moment, in the square downstairs, the reporters had gradually dispersed, and the people's representatives and ambassadors from various countries had also left. The noise in the square gradually subsided, leaving only an empty and quiet place.
U.S. Ambassador Johnson stood beside his car with a gloomy face. The driver saw his ugly face, opened the car door tactfully, and asked carefully: "Mr. Johnson, shall we go back to the embassy directly?"
Johnson did not respond directly, but waved his hand impatiently, then leaned over and sat in the back row. He frowned, feeling confused and uneasy about Su Zhengyang's banquet.
At this moment, Li Yunlong and several of his soldiers stopped in front of the car. They were dressed in neat military uniforms and had serious expressions on their faces, giving people a sense of inviolable majesty.
Johnson rolled down the window and saw Li Yunlong approaching the car. He bowed his head slightly to show respect, and then slowly said, "Mr. Johnson, our president has set up a banquet on the sixth floor and invites you to the banquet."
Johnson was stunned. He didn't expect Su Zhengyang to take the initiative to invite him to the banquet. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and finally nodded to accept the invitation. Although he was confused, he also wanted to take this opportunity to further understand Su Zhengyang's intentions.
Seeing this, the driver quickly started the car and slowly drove to the entrance of the government affairs center building. Li Yunlong followed closely with his soldiers to ensure the safety of Johnson and his party.
On the way to the banquet hall, Johnson's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He felt confused and a little nervous. He didn't know what Su Zhengyang was up to, but his intuition told him that this banquet would never be that simple.
As the car slowly drove into the parking lot of the government affairs center, Johnson's mood became heavier. He knew that the next step would be an unknown challenge and test. However, he was also prepared to deal with various situations that might arise at any time.
In the lobby on the first floor of the Government Affairs Center Building, the magnificent chandelier emits a soft light, making the ambassadors of various countries particularly eye-catching. They are dressed in their respective countries' formal dresses, with solemn and majestic demeanors, as if silently showing the strength and status of their respective countries.
Hans von Seeckt, the ambassador of the Bird Empire, was the first to enter the hall. He was tall and handsome in a well-tailored military uniform. His eyes were sharp, and he kept scanning the crowd around him, as if looking for potential opponents.
When he saw the Austro-Hungarian ambassador Joseph Redmond, their eyes met, and there seemed to be an unknown tacit understanding.
"Ambassador Redmond, it seems that President Su has ulterior motives in hosting this banquet." Hans von Seeckt said in a low voice, with a hint of contempt in his voice.
Joseph Redmond nodded slightly, with a vigilant light flashing in his eyes: "Yes, the issue of returning the concession has always been the focus of our attention. President Su's attitude this time is so tough, I am afraid he wants to take this opportunity to give us a warning."
The British Empire Ambassador Charles Wilson also joined them. He was dressed in a traditional British dress and behaved elegantly and calmly. He looked at Hans and Joseph and said, "No matter what President Su intends to do, we should remain calm. After all, the competition at the negotiation table is the real battlefield."
At this time, François Dubois, the French ambassador, also came over. She was wearing a gorgeous evening gown, elegant and charming. She smiled and said to everyone: "Perhaps we should give President Su some respect. I have to admit that President Su is an oriental man with extremely charming charm."
US Ambassador Johnson stood aside, his face somewhat gloomy. Just now at the press conference, he witnessed Su Zhengyang's tough attitude with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He knew clearly that this banquet might be a test of them by Su Zhengyang, and he had to deal with it with caution.
Italian Ambassador Marco Imperato seemed more relaxed, smiling and greeting the ambassadors, as if he was looking forward to the upcoming banquet. Russian Ambassador Nicholas maintained a reserved attitude, saying little and just observing everything around him.
The atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more tense, and the ambassadors of various countries were exchanging information with their eyes and simple conversations. They all knew that the purpose of Su Zhengyang setting up this banquet was to have further discussions with them on the issue of returning the concession.
After expressing his tough attitude and determination at the press conference, Su Zhengyang now has the upper hand and initiative in the negotiations. They all know that this will be a tough negotiation, and they must be fully prepared to meet the upcoming challenges.
Following Fu Jiang's lead, the ambassadors of various countries climbed the stairs and came to the banquet hall on the sixth floor of the Government Affairs Center Building. The banquet hall was brightly lit, with a warm and solemn atmosphere. On the central dining table, there were exquisite dishes and fine wines, the aroma was overflowing, and it was mouth-watering.
Su Zhengyang had already sat in the main seat. He was wearing a black Zhongshan suit and looked energetic.
His eyes swept over the ambassadors one by one, with a warm smile on his face, as if the tough attitude he had shown at the press conference just now had disappeared.
When Hans von Seeckt, ambassador of the Bird Empire, walked into the banquet hall first, he nodded slightly and greeted Su Zhengyang: "President Su, good evening." His voice was low and powerful, revealing an aura that should not be underestimated.
Su Zhengyang responded with a smile: "Ambassador Hans, welcome. Please take a seat and let us share this wonderful evening." His voice was gentle and kind, making people feel friendly and respectful.
Then, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador Joseph Redmond also came in. He extended his hand to Su Zhengyang: "President Su, I have heard of your great name for a long time. I hope we can have a pleasant exchange tonight."
Su Zhengyang stood up and shook hands with Joseph warmly: "Ambassador Joseph, it's a pleasure to meet you. I believe we will have many common topics tonight."
Charles Wilson, the British Empire ambassador, stepped forward and bowed slightly to show his respect for Su Zhengyang: "President Su, your wisdom and courage are admirable. I look forward to having in-depth exchanges with you."
Su Zhengyang responded with the same respect: "Ambassador Charles, I am deeply honored by your compliment. Please take a seat."
François Dubois, the French ambassador, walked over with her charming smile: "President Su, your banquet is really impressive. I believe we will have an unforgettable time tonight."
Su Zhengyang responded with a smile: "Ambassador Francois, your arrival makes tonight's banquet even more brilliant. Please enjoy this evening."
Ambassadors from various countries entered the banquet hall one after another. They greeted Su Zhengyang in different ways, and Su Zhengyang always kept smiling, with an easy-going and friendly attitude. His eyes revealed a kind of confidence and calmness, as if he had already made up his mind and had mastered the initiative in the negotiations.
