Chapter 283: The State Guest's Ceremony(1/2)
"Xiao Yu, we are all so familiar with each other, so for you to arrange such a large formation, you are a bit out of touch!"
"The chairman wrongly blamed us, Mr. Yu. The fifth test is imminent and the situation is a bit complicated. This is not entirely situationalism. There are also safety considerations."
"Who are you?"
"The chairman can just call me Xiao Wang. I am President Yu's secretary, and I will be responsible for communicating with the board of directors..."
"Beauty huh?"
"The chairman is complimenting me. Haha, Mr. Yu, look at the chairman also saying that I am beautiful!"
In the carriage of the luxurious Land Cruiser, Yu Qingdong smiled and said respectfully to Bei Gaoyang: "Xiao Wang should be considered your secretary. If you have any instructions in the future, you can contact her at any time."
Bei Gaoyang glanced at his secretary who was sitting very close to him and said with a smile: "Why, the CEO of the umbrella company is too busy to deal with such small things?"
"I don't dare. Isn't this from the perspective of better serving you, Chairman? Why, are you dissatisfied with Xiao Wang?"
Xiao Wang showed a nervous expression at the right time.
Bei Gaoyang glanced at the two of them, smiled noncommittally, turned to look at the scenery outside the car window, and said nothing.
He didn't speak, no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere in the carriage became a little dull.
The long convoy was driving on the viaduct in Yanjing. Due to traffic control, the journey was smooth. Originally, we were still in the Magic City when we came back this time. It was Yu Qingdong who said that there were some 'procedural' issues and Yanjing was more convenient.
Temporarily changed here.
As for what this "procedural" issue is, Yu Qingdong doesn't know. Maybe Secretary Wang knows about it, right?
I don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking. They are planning to use a honey trap this time, and it’s so obvious...
Isn't this another slap-on-the-head decision?
Logically speaking, no. At such a critical juncture, there are lessons learned from several major accidents in a row. Any action taken against Zero should be done with caution and caution, right?
Yu Qingdong didn't understand, but he knew one thing.
The higher-ups were worried about him, the closest contact person to 'No. Zero', and wanted to introduce more people to share his "favour".
Police cars opened the way in front, security vehicles stopped behind, and there were helicopters cruising in the sky, all the way to the famous National Taiwan Hotel. There was a huge formation waiting there. Except that there were no reporters or cameras, it was like receiving the head of state of a certain country.
"salute!"
The moment he got off the car, Yu Qingdong's legs softened and he saw a smiling face standing there waiting on the steps paved with red carpet.
Bei Gaoyang's face also became extremely serious, and the military band played a welcome song, passing through the straight guard of honor, and arrived at the foot of the steps amidst the rumbling salutes.
The smiling face had already stepped down the steps and was the first to reach out his hand.
Later, Yu Qingdong couldn't get in.
"Why didn't you notify me beforehand?"
Looking at the two people holding hands and greeting each other with smiles, Yu Qingdong, who was pushed aside and reduced to the background, complained softly to Secretary Wang.
"I just know it," Secretary Xiao Wang hid the surprise in his eyes, lowered his head and explained in a low voice, "It should be Minister Liu who comes. Who knows..."
The security guard with ringing ears looked over with vigilance. Yu Qingdong could only shut up and act like a puppet, doing whatever he was told.
It turns out that the ‘procedural’ problem is this.
It seems that after understanding the previous tests and nearly a year of evaluation and research, the superiors believed that the risk factor of Zero was within a controllable and predictable range, so such a meeting was arranged.
This was the reason why we deliberately avoided Yanjing and placed the Canaan Company in the Magic City.
Canaan has become so important that no one can ignore it.
Five tests and internationalization are the touchstones that test the quality of Canaan. Even he, a figure on the stage, is protected by the big BOSS and is touted as one of the most powerful people in the world.
What's more...
Yu Qingdong started brainstorming, and the shock in his heart has not completely dissipated until now. At the same time, he was also extremely curious about what the two people who had avoided everyone and had a private conversation would talk about.
"Mr. Yu, does the chairman dislike me?"
On such an occasion, Secretary Xiao Wang was reserved for a while and then returned to his old ways. The same thing happened around Bei Gaoyang, who was particularly "familiar". I thought it was just an act, but I didn't know it was his true nature.
Such a carefree and seemingly innocent beauty, what considerations did the higher-ups have in placing her in such a sensitive and important position?
"Xiao Wang just graduated?"
With the departure of the two big figures, the atmosphere at the scene became more lively, and people began to sit down one after another, with Xiao Wang sitting next to him.
"It doesn't really count. It should be said that I haven't graduated yet."
"In that school, what major do you major in?"
“International relations at Yenching University is so boring. I can’t even find a good place for internship.”
"Why isn't our Canaan Company a good place?"
"Haha, I didn't mean that. In fact, I came in through the back door."
She can talk about going through the back door so confidently, is she just faking it or is she just out of her mind?
Yu Qingdong didn't dare to look down on her, and it was inconvenient to ask some sensitive things. After chatting for a few words, he found that there was nothing left to say.
"Mr. Yu, you haven't answered my question yet?"
"Does the chairman like you?"
"right."
"You are so beautiful, who wouldn't like you?"
"The chairman is different. I feel... he is so serious."
serious?
I don’t see you being nervous then?
Yu Qingdong thought in his heart, but his face didn't show it: "Maybe the chairman is too tired, don't think too much."
"Really? Then I'll feel relieved..."
After half an hour or an hour, the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and the two elders who were chatting and laughing were seen leaving and returning. Yu Qingdong stood up quickly like the others, and even pulled the little boy who was just enjoying the food.
Secretary Wang, then the audience burst into warm applause.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, sit over here!"
Bei Gaoyang just sat down at the guest of honour's seat in the center. He didn't know how he found Yu Qingdong in the huge banquet hall. He waved in this direction as if there was no one around. His voice was not loud, but everyone could hear him clearly.
Clearly.
Yu Qingdong was shocked, and blood surged to the top of his head.
The smiling face also looked over, and the people next to him whispered a few words to him, and then when he saw him smiling and saying something, Yu Qingdong was taken over, and sat down next to Bei Gaoyang in confusion.
This meal was the most tasteless meal he had ever eaten in his life. What he ate, what he drank, who said what, and what he did were all lost in the confusion, waiting for the end of the song.
It was only when I left this banquet hall that was comparable to a state banquet that my groggy mind came to my senses.
The motorcade drives to the airport.
In the carriage, Bei Gaoyang was drinking heavily. Secretary Wang handed him a glass of honey water. He took it and took a sip. He glanced at Mr. Yu who was sitting opposite and asked, "I heard that this internationalization is going well."
Too smooth?"
Yu Qingdong quickly cheered up and answered: "There are some problems, but they are minor things and can be solved."
"As long as it can be solved, internationalization is a major trend, but it will not affect our cooperation... Xiaoyu is fine, don't worry!"
Don't worry, don't worry about anything?
Yu Qingdong's mind was spinning slower than usual. He didn't think about the deep meaning behind this sentence and just nodded with an apologetic smile.
"There are a lot of things to do when I come back this time. Please arrange a time and I will go to your research institute to take a look."
"The research institute..." may have been something agreed during the banquet, but Yu Qingdong didn't remember it at all. Secretary Xiao Wang on the side quickly reminded: "It's Laboratory Zero!"
"Number Zero!?" Bei Gaoyang said with a playful smile, "Is this Number Zero me?"
"Chairman, please don't get me wrong. There is absolutely no disrespect in this. This code name is only used internally and externally out of various considerations."
Bei Gaoyang waved his hand nonchalantly, "Number Zero will be Number Zero. I heard that you have used magical environments and magical materials to create a lot of interesting things. Let me take a look at it sometime."
"OK!"
Yu Qingdong quickly took a pen and notebook to write down this unplanned itinerary.
"There is no need to change the helmet. I heard that you have already distributed the goods overseas?"
"Yes, this is a well-researched strategy by the company and will be beneficial to subsequent promotion plans..."
"The progress is good. Have those artificial intelligence programs been delivered?"
"Except for the North American Athena, all others were delivered on time and passed acceptance."
"Is North America the only superpower?"
"hehe……"
"I heard that the helmet was robbed at their place, and someone from Canaan Company was also arrested?"
To be continued...
