Xu Bingjie also got up at this time, seeing Qin Yi's energy, nodded secretly, and invited her to have breakfast together.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we found that Foreign Minister Lou and several other colleagues were there, so we gathered around a table and chatted about today's itinerary while eating.
After breakfast, it was still relatively early, and Xu Bingjie began to browse today's current affairs news. This is the habit that everyone in the Information Department maintains all year round. No matter when and where, they must grasp the latest news.
? At nine o'clock in the morning, a group from the Huaguo Ministry of Foreign Affairs set off from the hotel where they were staying and headed for the US State Department.
The U.S. State Department is the administrative department of the U.S. federal government that is in charge of foreign affairs and partly in charge of internal affairs.
Therefore, the first person Foreign Minister Lou will meet with today is the US Secretary of State.
If it is said that the two sides roughly exchanged intentions last night, then today is the official showdown.
The reporters who had already received the news waited 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 the shutters kept clicking.
They did not step forward to ask questions, because after the meeting between the Chinese Foreign Minister and the US Secretary of State, there will be a joint press conference, and there is plenty of time and opportunity for them to ask questions.
They are not gossip reporters either. When they see their interviewees, they swarm towards them, and they must be reserved and polite.
Qin Yi still wore a black formal suit today, walking behind Xu Bingjie, standing out among a group of men.
"Look at the girl in the middle! She's so pretty!"
"I heard that she is the adopted daughter of the Rodriguez family."
"Ah, is it true?"
Hearing the discussion, Qin Yi frowned slightly. What did they mean? Did so many people know the relationship between the Rodriguez family and her?
The more and more shots were aimed at her, Qin Yi consciously avoided it. The protagonist of this meeting was Foreign Minister Lou. She didn't want to make herself too public, and it was best not to report her in the news.
If she wants to become famous, she must be famous as the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not as the adopted daughter of the Rodriguez family, or other gossip news.
Soon, they entered the living room where distinguished guests were received.
And the reporters also stayed outside the door.
"Good day, Dear Mr. Foreign Minister, did you rest well last night?" The US Secretary of State expressed his sincere greetings to Foreign Minister Lou, with a smile on his face, showing that there was no unpleasantness last night.
"Very well, I'm sorry, Secretary of State." Foreign Minister Lou shook hands with him and said hello, with a reserved smile on his face.
"Not only I miss, our Mr. President is also very concerned about Mr. Chang's feelings about this visit to the United States. No, call me early this morning and let me take you to see him."
"Mr. President, do you mean?"
"Mr. President hopes to have a meeting with you now." The U.S. Secretary of State said solemnly, "The diplomatic relationship between the two countries is 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. He attaches great importance to his visit and hopes to see Mr. Foreign Minister as soon as possible to determine the issues to be discussed."
These words surprised all the Hua people present.
Originally, I had met the US Secretary of State and was going to meet the US President, but the US President suddenly asked to meet in advance, which broke the convention and erased all the press conferences after the meeting with the Secretary of State.
Breaking the conventions in diplomacy often does not mean that the relationship is extremely bad, but it means paying more attention to it.
For example, the president of the United States never picks up the plane. No matter which head of state is visiting, he usually sends the deputy secretary of state to pick him up. This is the usual practice.
But when the Pope visited the United States, the whole family of the President of the United States went to pick him up. This is a super courtesy given to the Pope by the President of the United States.
The U.S. Secretary of State said it nicely, but breaking the convention this time, Qin Yi has yet to make a conclusion on whether Hua Guo is good or bad. He has to meet the President of the United States to confirm.
Foreign Minister Lou was as immobile as a mountain, and smiled slightly: "Then, I would like to ask Your Excellency the Secretary of State to lead the way."
Outside the meeting room, the reporters were still discussing. First, they guessed what issues the Chinese Foreign Minister would discuss with the United States this time, as well as the possible attitudes and final results of the two countries, and then sorted out the questions to be asked at the joint press conference.
But soon, the topic changed.
"Did you notice the young female diplomat in the Chinese foreign minister's team just now? I went to see her experience just now, she is so fierce!"
"What?"
Can do it hereThe reporters interviewed were all from big media, with high vision and relatively high literacy, and the gossip of unknown juniors could not attract them at all.
Of course, scandals involving politicians and celebrities are excluded.
Once there is such a big news, they will be like bloodthirsty sharks, without hesitation, they will strip each other's old bottom clean, not even leaving their underwear.
"She was originally the adopted daughter of the Rodriguez family, and now she is a Chinese diplomat, and she is very popular in China."
"What is this? Our Mr. President is as popular on Twitter as any first-line star." The tone was full of sarcasm, obviously very disdainful of the current president's "Twitter governance" way of governing.
Not only does the dignified president often talk nonsense on social networking sites, but he also fights with this and that all day long, which is really unsightly.
"Do you still remember that the BND was sued by a Chinese person last year? It was the Chinese female diplomat I mentioned just now. She made the BND shrink its intelligence network in the United States and lost a lot of money. Haha, shame on my hometown!"
There was a gasp.
At present, the reporters are looking for information in a hurry, thinking that maybe they can ask some related questions later, the public likes this kind of topic.
At this moment, the door of the reception room opened from the inside, and the US Secretary of State and the Chinese Foreign Minister came out talking and laughing.
The reporters blinked, a little dazed.
The meeting ended so soon?
"You don't have to wait, we have to leave here first." Lou Foreign Minister greeted the reporters with a smile.
The reporters were even more at a loss, where should they wait instead of waiting here?
When they saw that Foreign Minister Lou and the US Secretary of State were going to take a special car to leave, they were all dumbfounded. The itinerary they got was not arranged like this
"Minister Lou, where are you and Your Excellency the Secretary of State going? Is the press conference still going on?" A reporter from Huaguo asked.
Qin Yi stopped him in time, "Minister Lou and the Secretary of State of the United States are going to the White House. The press conference will not be held for the time being. The specific time will be announced later."
The Chinese reporter was taken aback, "Go to the White House? See the President of the United States?"
Qin Yi smiled, who else could I meet if I went to the White House to meet the President of the United States? She still replied, "Yes."
The reporter realized that he had asked a stupid question. Looking into Qin Yi's smiling eyes, his face was a little hot, "Thank you, Ms. Qin, for letting me know."
"You're welcome." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
