On the way to the cafeteria.
Chen Fang finally received his first piece of good news today in a foreign land.
The three service team mbers responsible for the rear guard had returned.
Although the vehicles suffered heavy damage, fortunately, no one was injured, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
The cafeteria isn't small.
It can accommodate dozens of people dining at the sa ti.
Except for the necessary on-duty personnel, three tables were set up in the cafeteria, and everyone was already waiting by their sides.
As soon as Chen Fang walked in.
Everyone stood up.
Thunderous applause rang out, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Fang briefly got acquainted with everyone.
The food wasn't lavish, just slightly better than ordinary ho-cooked als. As for the wine, it was Chen Ruifeng's personal collection, Maozi liquor he brought from his hotown and had been reluctant to drink.
"Ambassador Chen, hello, my na is Ou Qingxuan, and I will be serving as your assistant."
Just as Chen Fang was chatting warmly with the main leaders, a sweet voice sounded behind him.
He turned his head to look.
Standing behind him was a tall young woman.
Wearing a distinctive pure white shirt.
Below, a tight black knee-length skirt.
Wearing glasses on her nose.
With long hair draping over her shoulders, she appeared pure and alluring.
Between her brows, there was a faint hint of mixed heritage.
"Ambassador Chen, let introduce you, Ou Qingxuan, a Huaxia and Wanggan mixed heritage, her father is Huaxia, and her mother is Wanggan. She grew up in Wanggan and is very familiar with the local situation..."
Chen Ruifeng stood up and introduced her to Chen Fang.
"Hello, Comrade Qingxuan, nice to et you."
Chen Fang also politely shook hands with Ou Qingxuan.
Chen Ruifeng continued: "Ambassador Chen, our Comrade Qingxuan is proficient in four languages, so during your ti in Wanggan, she will also serve as your interpreter. If you have any specific needs, feel free to ask her..."
Just as he finished speaking.
The cafeteria suddenly sounded an alarm.
A red alarm light began to flash.
The service squad leader Lin Youyu pushed open the door and walked in with a bang.
Defense Attaché Geng Wubiao stood up and asked nervously, "What happened?"
Lin Youyu, with a somber face, said, "The Youth League has started gathering to protest at the front of the embassy again. I'm worried sothing might happen, so I sounded the alarm, and I would ask all the leaders to return to their dormitories first."
Upon hearing this, Ou Qingxuan quickly introduced Chen Fang, "Ambassador Chen, this Youth League has just been established in the past few years. To put it bluntly, it's a radical group initiated by Badula. Today's attack at the airport was orchestrated by the Youth League. Over the past month or so, they have conducted multiple protests against our embassy."
"Haven't we submitted a diplomatic note?"
Chen Fang asked.
Chen Ruifeng nodded and said, "We have, but both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the President's Mansion are just being perfunctory. Today's protest march, I think, is a show of force against your appointnt."
While speaking.
The voices shouting slogans outside were getting louder and louder.
Chen Fang quickly ordered the cessation of the al and for everyone to gather in a safe location.
He himself then brought Chen Ruifeng, Geng Wubiao, and Ou Qingxuan to the office, where they were elevated, just high enough to see the situation at the embassy gate.
From above, hundreds to thousands of people could be seen concentrating at the embassy gate, brandishing banners. Each one was emotionally charged, raising their arms and shouting orderly towards the embassy.
"What are they shouting?"
Chen Fang asked.
Ou Qingxuan quickly said, "Basically, the ssage is Huaxia people get out of their land, Huaxia people are vampires, and so on..."
Looking out.
Although several police cars were parked not far from the protest crowd.
No one was actually protecting the embassy.
It was clear they were just making a show of it.
At this mont.
Sothing bright traced an arc through the night sky, flew into the embassy courtyard, and shattered with a crash, followed by a burst of flas.
Molotov cocktails!
Soone was throwing Molotov cocktails inside the embassy!
After one landed.
More and more Molotov cocktails were being thrown in from outside.
Blazes were erupting one after another.
"Put out the fire!"
Chen Fang, no longer able to care about much else.
Hurried downstairs.
Took a fire extinguisher from the hall and started spraying the ground flas.
Seeing him do this.
Geng Wubiao attempted several tis to hold him back.
But what kind of person is Chen Fang? Faced with such a crisis, not taking action was impossible for him.
The whole protest lasted for about two hours. During this ti, besides Molotov cocktails, a lot of stones were also thrown in, causing multiple embassy windows to be damaged and the ground to turn dark gray. Though the losses weren't severe, for a country's face, it was a disgrace.
Of course.
In this process.
The embassy hadn't neglected to seek help from the local police.
The replies were still the sa as before: either shirking responsibility or muddling through.
It was evident.
This violent protest was tacitly approved by President Badula.
At around eleven after midnight.
Everyone worked together to clean up all the debris.
After a whole day of hustle and bustle, everyone was exhausted.
Back in his dorm room, Chen Fang lay on the bed but didn't fall asleep for a long ti.
He was pondering how to resolve this dilemma amidst internal and external troubles?
If, as Chen Ruifeng said, the President's Mansion deliberately delays submitting the national letter, wouldn't he, the ambassador, just be a decoration?
They could delay for a month, and then naturally they could delay for two months, which would leave the anti-fraud strike team's operations indefinitely postponed, wouldn't it?
Suddenly.
The phone on the bedside table rang abruptly.
Startling Chen Fang.
Picking it up.
It was Zhong Xiqian calling.
The anxiety in Chen Fang's heart finally eased.
Holding it to his ear, he pretended to stay calm as he said, "Hello, wife, are you still awake?"
"Have you arrived? Didn't you promise to call as soon as you landed?"
The tone of Zhong Xiqian was sowhat resentful.
Chen Fang just rembered that his promise hadn't been kept, but with so much happening today, he had indeed forgotten about it.
Not daring to tell her for fear of worrying her.
He could only apologize, "Oh, you see my mory, maybe the foreign vibes are too attractive, and I forgot."
"You, you never really care about , knowing full well I and all the won worry about you."
Zhong Xiqian teased.
After a series of apologies, Chen Fang quickly changed the topic and asked, "Wife, last ti you ntioned your Sen Can Group having a price war with a competitor, Ai iya Group. How is it going?"
As ntioned before.
Sen Can Group is a giant conglorate spanning finance, real estate, transportation, retail, food and dicine, and automobiles.
Under it, there is a subsidiary called Feichi Automobile.
