Chapter 247 Confrontation
Chapter 245 Confrontation

Only Chen Changqing and Earls were left in the rich box of Tang Pavilion.

Mr. Li is not a fool, he knew that Chen Changqing had something to do in the afternoon, so he found an excuse to leave not long after Earls arrived.

For him, what had to be done had already been done.

With Chen Changqing's business card, the two of them are connected, and they will have plenty of time to develop in the future, so it's not good to be too eager now.

Not long after Mr. Li left, the food was served at the request of Chen Changqing.

I have to say that Tang Ge's dishes are still excellent as usual.

Add the sliced ​​abalone to the bamboo shoots and water chestnut and stir well. The puff pastry on the outside is in the shape of a thousand layers. Use a rolling pin to trim it into the shape of abalone, and finally deep-fry in a frying pan until golden.

Tang Ge's dish is definitely a specialty in this day and age.

But as Mr. Li left, he looked at Chen Changqing who was not far away.

Earls didn't move his chopsticks, but looked a little more cautious:

"Mr. Chen, I don't know who you are looking for?"

Although it was the first time we met, the person in front of me was anything but simple.

Almost half an hour earlier, Earls had received a call from one of John Bull's ministers.

The other party said that a friend wanted to invite him to dinner. The specific reason was not mentioned, but the minister went to say that this is an opportunity. If you can seize it, you may take off.

After seeing Mr. Li, Earls thought he understood.

Although he didn't come to Xiangjiang very much before, the eldest son of the richest man in Xiangjiang still knows something about it. After all, the capitalization of the West is too serious, especially after the emergence of lobby groups, wealth and power are often the same.

But soon, Earls realized the seriousness of the problem.

Because Mr. Li didn't stay here too long, but left after a brief exchange.

Only myself and Chen Changqing who had just met for no more than 5 minutes were left.

Normally, the intermediary must be present in this way of meeting friends through making connections, otherwise the two parties will appear awkward, but there is another possibility, for example, there is a serious unequal strength between the two parties!

Based on Earls' years of experience as a diplomat, the Mr. Chen in front of him may not be simple, so Earls would use "you" instead of "you" when he spoke.

But as soon as the title was said, Earls regretted it.

Mr. Li is not too rich, but Mr. Li's father can be said to be wealthy.

The gap in strength is nothing more than two.

One is power and the other is wealth.

Not only Xiangjiang, but looking around the world, the Li family can be regarded as the top richest man. If it is only because of wealth, Mr. Li is unlikely to help others, so it can only be Quan.

Considering the No.15 round of negotiations that just ended, he vaguely guessed why the other party saw him.

Earls' heart sank involuntarily—there is no such thing as a good feast, and today's meal may not be that simple!
Facing Earls' initiative to speak, Chen Changqing glanced at him calmly.

Looking at the other party's solemn and guarded eyes, he couldn't help but chuckled:
"Don't be so nervous, let's chat while eating."

Saying that, he picked up a piece of abalone crisp from the plate.

Earls didn't know what the route was, but Chen Changqing didn't intend to continue talking now, so he could only bite the bullet and eat, but he had actually made up his mind in his heart——

No matter what, you must stick to the bottom line.

Tang Ge's serving speed is not slow, and it takes almost an hour for the two of them to eat a meal.

It takes about five or six hours for a French meal of the same level.

He took out half a pack of Hongta from his pocket, leaned back on the chair comfortably, and Chen Changqing pushed the gold-rimmed glasses:

"do you mind?"

"It's okay, I'm actually going to smoke one too."

As he said that, he took out a cigar from his pocket, but with a casual glance, looking at the writing on the half pack of cigarettes, Earls became more and more sure of his previous thoughts.

"Clap!"

The cigarette was lit, and Earls, opposite, was smoking a cigar.

A complex fragrance soon filled the air.

It has the aroma of cigars and the unique smell of cigarettes.

Under the gold-rimmed glasses, Chen Changqing in a white suit.

With elegant and peaceful eyes, he didn't say anything, just looked at Earls calmly.

At the moment, the other party was wearing a brown casual suit, but because of his years of working experience as a diplomat, his sitting posture was very standard.

It feels very upright.

Even if he is smoking cigars, his movements are still meticulous, like a very graceful old gentleman. This kind of demeanor is rare, and it cannot be cultivated without decades of training.

But when it comes to toasting cigars?
Chen Changqing found that although Earls had a calm expression, his body was actually very stiff when he looked closely.

Meanwhile, Earls, who was roasting a cigar, panicked.

I don't know why, Chen Changqing's eyes are elegant and peaceful, but he just feels very uneasy. This feeling is so strong that he can't help but think of an encounter he had in Africa more than ten years ago.

Young and frivolous, he ignored the warnings of his elders.

Earls and his companions broke into the prairie, and then he encountered an adult male.

Earls remembered clearly that the air was dry and hot on the khaki-colored sand, and there was a piece of green thorny thorns growing on the dry gravel not far away.

Under the cover of night, a group of people set up a bonfire.

And when everyone gathered around the bonfire and talked about their ideals in life.

In an instant, the scene was silent.

Earls didn't know what was going on because everyone around fell silent.

But he felt a strong sense of crisis, and with the faint sound of footsteps, Earls realized that there was a creature approaching behind him.

At that time, his body was tense, and he didn't dare to take a breath. He was so frightened that his mind went blank.

Until the next second, a big furry head protruded from the side.

Although he didn't see the whole picture clearly, he knew it was a strong African lion!
The other party did not attack, just glanced casually, and then left, but for several years afterwards, Earls would often be awakened by nightmares.

It was a primal fear.

Delirious, the brain went blank, and the out-of-control body couldn't make any response.

But at this moment, facing Chen Changqing's eyes.

The fear that he had forgotten for nearly a decade resurfaced in his mind.

I don't know if it's because of the previous nightmare, or because of Chen Changqing in front of me.

Earls tried to raise his head to meet Chen Changqing's gaze, but in the end he could only toast his cigars to distract himself from his fear.

After smoking two-thirds of a cigarette, Earls felt more and more intense fear, and realized that he was about to lose control. In the end, he couldn't bear the pressure. He took the initiative to say:

"Mr. Chen, you didn't come to me just for a meal, did you?"

After flicking the cigarette ash, Chen Changqing looked away.

But the confident curl of the corner of his mouth seems to have seen through the person in front of him:
"I thought you wouldn't speak."

He breathed a sigh of relief, without Chen Changqing's gaze, the pressure in Earls' heart dropped sharply.

As the fear in his heart dissipated, Earls, who gradually began to regain his composure, couldn't help asking: "I have a question, Mr. Chen, are you not worried about me leaving directly?"

Earls' question is interesting.

Although it has been confirmed that Xiangjiang will return on July [-].

But on the specific details of the return, there are many problems between the two sides, and [-] rounds of negotiations have been carried out.

Although this was the first meeting between the two parties, and although the Mr. Chen in front of him was a bit scary, Earls, who calmed down, quickly realized a problem—the other party wanted something from him, so it was not that scary.

You must know that Chen Changqing took the initiative to find him for this meeting, not Chen Changqing himself. This means that he actually has the initiative, if he turns around and leaves, or keeps silent?
In the end, it must be Chen Changqing who panicked, not himself.

This irritated Earls.

Counting the respectful words before, this was already the second time he was slapped by the other party.

This person in front of him is not simple, and the other party has extremely high diplomatic skills!
Of course, the reason why he said this was not only to vent his dissatisfaction, but also partly because he wanted to use this method.

Recast his own heart so that he will not be affected in front of Chen Changqing!
Not to mention negotiations between countries, even in normal business negotiations, one party must not have fear of the other, or it will be eaten to death.

Earls didn't want to be led by the nose by Chen Changqing in the following conversation.

However, in the face of Earls' rhetorical question.

Chen Changqing pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, he looked at the other party calmly, and only said:
"Do you know?"
