Chapter 527 (1/2)

Xu Bingjie also got up at this time. Seeing Qin Yi's spirit, she nodded secretly and invited her to have breakfast.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we found that foreign minister Lou and several other colleagues were also there. We simply surrounded a table and talked about today's itinerary while eating.

After breakfast, it was still early. Xu Bingjie began to browse today's current news. This is the habit of all the people in the information department all year round. They should keep abreast of the latest news whenever and wherever.

At 9:00 a.m., the Chinese Foreign Ministry and his party left their hotel for the US State Department.

The U.S. State Department is the administrative department of the federal government in charge of foreign affairs and also in charge of some domestic affairs. The foreign affairs agency directly under the administration of the US government is equivalent to the Ministry of foreign affairs. The visit of the Chinese foreign minister to the United States can not bypass the Secretary of state of the United States in any case.

Therefore, the first person foreign minister Lou wants to meet today is the Secretary of state of the United States.

If there was a rough exchange of intentions between the two sides last night, today is a formal showdown.

Reporters who had already received the news were waiting in the US State Department with long guns and short cannons. When they saw the Chinese foreign minister and his party, their eyes lit up and their shutters snapped.

They did not come forward to ask questions, because after the meeting between the Chinese foreign minister and the US Secretary of state, a joint press conference will be held, with plenty of time and opportunity to ask them questions.

They are not gossip reporters. When they see the interviewees, they rush forward. They should have reserve and rules.

Qin Yi is still wearing a black suit today, walking behind Xu Bingjie, especially conspicuous among a group of men.

”Look at the girl in the middle! How beautiful

”I heard she was the adopted daughter of the Rodrigues family.”

”Ah, is it true?”

Hearing the discussion, Qin Yi frowned. What do they mean? Have so many people known the relationship between Rodrigues and her?

The more and more shots were directed at her, and Qin Yi consciously avoided it. The protagonist of the meeting was foreign minister Lou. She didn't want to make herself too conspicuous. It was better not to report her in the news.

If she wants to be famous, she must be a spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry, not the adopted daughter of the Rodrigues family, or other gossip.

Soon, they entered the reception hall where the distinguished guests were received.

And journalists stayed outside.

”Goodday, dear foreign minister, did you have a good rest last night?” The U.S. Secretary of state expressed sincere greetings to foreign minister Lou. With a smile on his face, he could not see that he had a bad time last night.

”Very well. Thank you for your attention.” Foreign Minister Lou shook hands with him and said hello with a reserved smile.

”Not only do I miss you, but our president is also very surprised by the feeling of Mr. Chang's visit to the United States. No, call me early this morning and let me take you to see him.”

”What does Mr. President mean?”

”Mr. President, I would like to talk to you now.” The U.S. Secretary of state said solemnly, ”the diplomatic relations between the two countries are one of the most important bilateral relations in the world, and China is also one of the most important diplomatic relations of the United States. Therefore, Mr. President attaches great importance to your visit. I hope to see Mr. foreign minister as soon as possible and determine the issues to be discussed.”

This surprised all the Chinese present.

I had met the Secretary of state of the United States and wanted to see the president of the United States, but the president of the United States suddenly asked for an early meeting, which broke the Convention and wiped out the press conference after meeting with the Secretary of state.

In diplomacy, breaking conventions often does not mean that relations are at their worst, but they mean more attention.

For example, the president of the United States never picks up the plane. No matter which head of state visits, he usually sends the Deputy Secretary of state to pick up the plane.
