Chapter 206 Foreshadowing
"Mr. Liang, please go this way. Secretary Shen's office is in the European Department, and we still have to walk some distance." The guard explained to Liang Yuandong very politely.

"Okay, thank you very much." Liang Yuandong had a smile on his face, carrying a small wooden box in his hand, and there was a banging sound in the box as he walked.

He walked behind the guards in the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes. The impulsive and savage Mr. Shen was indeed not a simple person, and the beating was worth it.

Otherwise, senior secretaries and guards would not be so obsequious. Just now they almost fought for the chance to lead the way. The little people in this kind of organization know how to follow the trend and play with the wind.

Not to mention that the other party can let a stranger enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs without even registering their identity. He thought that the two of them would hand over at the door, but he didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.

"Mr. Liang, turn from here to the Asia Division, and upstairs is the office of the America Division." The guard graciously introduced the detailed use of the building.

"Thank you for the introduction. I don't know what the Asian Division and the American Division do." Liang Yuandong observed the surroundings calmly, keeping everything in his mind.

The guard didn't think much, scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "I don't really understand, it is said that they are in contact with the foreign country, you have to ask Secretary Shen about this."

Liang Yuandong pretended to be enlightened, and continued to focus on his eyes and ears, remembering with his heart that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Dean Wang's influence is mostly in the Executive Yuan, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can't get involved here for the time being, let alone bringing outsiders in at will. I really want to thank Secretary Shen.

Clerks with different expressions ran around with documents, the phone rang rapidly, and occasionally reprimands could be heard. This was the core organization of the Republic of China to handle foreign affairs.

All the embassies and consulates of the Republic of China stationed abroad can be contacted here, and the information returned will also be consolidated here. Every piece of paper he sees and every word he hears has huge information value.

As Liang Yuandong was walking, his ears suddenly moved. He seemed to have heard a few words in a foreign language. Looking at the sign on the wall that said European Division, there were obviously more guards nearby.

The guard cautiously reminded: "Mr. Liang, the front is a confidential place, please don't watch and listen too much. Although you are the guest invited by Secretary Shen, there are some rules that you still have to abide by."

Liang Yuandong smiled and nodded: "Okay, Liang is usually the most law-abiding, and will never ask for trouble. Thank you for your reminder, but is it inappropriate for Secretary Shen to let me in?"

The guard said indifferently: "Who is Secretary Shen? He is a relative of the chairman. Don't let people come in. Even if you want to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sir, it is not a matter of Secretary Shen's words."

Liang Yuandong's heart beat suddenly. Shen Dongxin was really a relative of that person. He had guessed before, but now it was preliminarily confirmed. This identity was worth a lot of money to win him over.

However, further verification is needed, why he had never heard of this person's reputation before, and now he jumped out so suddenly, he really couldn't believe it, and he was very careful.

He seemed to ask unintentionally: "This is the first time I've heard of this matter. I only have some business contacts with Mr. Shen. I don't know that he has such a family background. Do you often see Mr. Shen?"

The guard said in his heart, it's really a pig's nose with a green onion in it. If you don't know Secretary Shen's background, you can come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in such a hurry to pay a visit, there will be no souvenirs in that heavy box.

The guard didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he replied casually: "A person like Secretary Shen, why does he come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every day to work, just come here once in a while."

Liang Yuandong nodded when he heard the words. This is indeed a normal situation. There are many second generations in the national government who only work in government agencies and rarely come to work.

The two walked through the busy office hall and continued along a corridor. It was much quieter here than outside, and the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also walked lightly and did not dare to make noise.

Liang Yuandong passed by a person, looking at the purple folder in the other's hand, he wished he could immediately make Mr. Shen his own.

The color purple means that it is the highest-secret document of the national government. In the past, it was only heard that it was the first time Liang Yuandong saw a document of this level with his own eyes.

He suppressed his excitement, looked down at the wooden box in his hand, and secretly regretted, for the real brand of the emperor's relatives, these ten large yellow croakers were probably missing.

At this moment, the guard stopped, looked around and found it difficult. He only knew that Secretary Shen's office was in the European Department, but he didn't know where the office was. He planned to ask a staff member.

Liang Yuandong looked at him from the side, feeling suspicious in his heart. At this moment, a tall, strong man with the appearance of an officer came from the other side of the corridor and frowned when he saw them.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" the man asked in an official tone.

The guard's eyes lit up: "Director Li, I'm the guard at the gate. This gentleman is Secretary Shen's guest. Secretary Shen asked us to send him in on the phone."

Director Li said disdainfully: "Fuck you, you've only been to our European Division a few times, let him go with me, just as I have something important to ask Secretary Shen."

"Yes, yes, Director Li." The guard explained to Liang Yuandong as if he had received an amnesty after hearing the words: "Mr. Liang, I am really sorry to see this mess up."

Liang Yuandong waved his hand graciously, and took out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket: "It's okay, this is a bit of a trifle, let me invite everyone to smoke a pack of cigarettes."

Hearing the conversation between the two just now, the suspicion that had just arisen in his heart dissipated. It is normal for the guard at the gate not to know where Shen Dongxin's office is.

But who is Director Li? Could it be the Director of the European Department? This is a powerful figure in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he has a lot of important information in his hands.

The guard was very moved when he saw the banknote. Ten yuan was not a small amount, but he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Director Li, so he could only look at it with pitiful eyes.

Director Li was overjoyed when he saw this, and stepped forward to lightly kick the guard's ass: "Get out, get out as soon as you get the money, and you are not allowed to bring anyone to the European Department in the future."

The guard thanked him and left. Director Li didn't even look at Liang Yuandong. He walked away on his own. Liang Yuandong didn't mind following behind. He had a deep understanding of the arrogance of these Republic of China officials.

The two went upstairs and turned a few turns, and came to an office outside. The phonograph inside was turned on very loudly, and jazz music from the United States came out through the crack of the door, which was very ear-piercing.

After all, this is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China. Director Li blushed a little when he heard such melodramatic sounds on such a solemn occasion. It was really too much.

Liang Yuandong was dumbfounded, that Secretary Shen was really daring, even if he was a relative of the Chairman, he shouldn't have acted so recklessly.

But just when he thought Director Li was going to be furious, he saw the other party knock on the door and said cautiously: "Secretary Shen, your guest is here."

He did this obviously because he was afraid of disturbing Mr. Shen's elegance. This move almost made Liang Yuandong laugh out loud. The Chinese officialdom was so corrupt and chaotic.

It's a pity that there was no response in the room, so Director Li had no choice but to knock on the door again, and raised his voice a little, only then did someone reply lazily inside.

"Who?"

"My old Li, the Mr. Liang you invited, Secretary Shen, was brought by me."

Director Li replied patiently outside the door, with a kind attitude and a gentle tone. He seemed to have long been used to Secretary Shen's ridiculous behavior of playing music in the office.

Soon the door opened, Shen Dongxin poked his head and took a look outside, let the door open for the two to come in, then turned around and ran back to the phonograph.

As soon as Director Li entered the office, he found a place to sit down, and asked with a smile on his face, "Mr. Shen, I'm in a good mood today. Is there something good going on?"

Liang Yuandong walked in after Director Li, and closed the door of the office. He didn't want the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be attracted by the sound of music.

Zuo Zhong, who was looking for the record, didn't look back: "There is indeed a good thing. Dean Liang, you can leave after you put the things on the table. Let's forget about that matter."

"Yes, Director Liu's apology, please pass it on to you. Goodbye."

Liang Yuan smiled all over his face, put the suitcase in his hand on the table, bowed lightly, and prepared to leave. It seemed that he was not in a hurry to get on the boat of Secretary Shen, which was a bit unexpected.

Looking at the target who turned around and left, Director Li leaned on the sofa, his heart fluttering. Is it a waste of time to do so much preparation work.

But Zuo Zhong didn't care, he was very relaxed humming a little tune, he didn't care if Liang Yuandong really wanted to leave, he had to be patient if he wanted to catch big fish.

This man is not a real businessman, but a professional spy. Probing and doubting have become a habit. If he finds a reason to keep him, it will definitely arouse Liang Yuandong's vigilance, so don't worry.

Director Li saw that Section Chief Zuo didn't respond, so he found a topic to chat with. Seeing Liang Yuandong opened the door and walked out, the footsteps gradually disappeared in the corridor, and he actually left.

He wanted to ask what to do next, but before he opened his mouth, Zuo Zhong raised his hand to stop him, and the two continued to chat about irrelevant gossip until it was time to get off work.

Zuo Zhong walked back to the desk and opened the box, took out two gold bars and handed them over: "Take it, good things are worth seeing, we should go to Dehe Tower."

Director Li took the big yellow croaker with a smile on his face, weighed it in his hand, and felt that the people from the headquarters were quick to pay, but why did they go to Dehe Tower.

Zuo Zhong didn't speak, and pointed to a newspaper on the desk. On the front page was written the ordering phone number of Dehe Tower, which was drawn in a big circle with a pen.

Director Li gave a thumbs up, and the two sat down and waited for a while, until the sound outside became noisy, and then they walked out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building slowly.

Along the way, the two talked and laughed, completely ignoring the gazes of others, and then drove the car out of the gate in a chic manner, heading for the downtown area of ​​Jinling.

Not far from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Liang Yuandong was sitting in the car with a serious face, and said to Jin Jiang beside him, "Go and find out when Secretary Shen booked the hotel, and go follow him in the evening."

Jin Jiang nodded, and said insinuatingly: "If Secretary Shen is really that powerful, should we recruit him into the club? Mr. Wang's channels are too restrictive, and we need his help."

Liang Yuandong leaned on the car seat, and said in a leisurely tone: "You don't have to worry about this matter, first make sure if it's a big fish, I'm always a little worried, I have a chance to go to his residence to have a look."

"it is good."
