First, the road conditions are bad.
Don't even ntion the highways.
On the way to the Jena Region, there's a long stretch without even a complete cent road or asphalt road.
Moreover.
The further north you go, the worse the security situation gets.
There are not only robbers but also harassnt from local ard forces.
In short.
Trying to get to the Jena Region quickly is not an easy task.
Of course.
There are also convenient routes.
That would be Chen Fang taking a plane back to Nanliang Province and then entering the Jena Region through the border.
This route is relatively smooth, and arriving at Jena City is relatively easy.
But why doesn't Chen Fang choose this route?
It's simple!
Since Badula and Naiton have interests entangled with the three major families of Jena.
The news that Huaxia plans to take action against them should have already reached their ears.
These desperados definitely don't want to see their interests damaged, so they will inevitably set up ambushes at the Huaxia and Jena border.
At that ti, any accident involving Chen Fang would be uncontrollable.
Besides, they think Chen Fang will definitely choose this route.
However.
Chen Fang's final decision is to go against the norm.
The embassy did not agree with his plan, so much so that Chen Ruifeng contacted the country to explain the situation, requesting Chen Fang to make the "correct" choice.
Unexpectedly, the reply was simple, requiring the embassy to internally consult and resolve the issue.
How to resolve?
Chen Fang is the leader, and his words are orders, so the final resolution is to do as Chen Fang says.
After a good rest overnight.
Chen Fang was ready to set off early in the morning.
As he carried his luggage downstairs, he saw a Wanggan local license plate Toyota SUV parked in the yard.
Chen Ruifeng stood in front of the car.
Seeing him, he ca up proactively, took the luggage from Chen Fang, and said, "Ambassador Chen, since you don't listen to any persuasion, I have no other way. I bought this car from the black market, thinking it might be more suitable for the roads in Wanggan."
Chen Fang was taken aback.
He looked at Chen Ruifeng.
Chen Ruifeng thought Chen Fang wanted to ask about the source of the money, and waved his hands hurriedly, "Ambassador Chen, don't misunderstand, this money didn't co from our embassy's funds; we all pooled it together."
Chen Fang heard this and laughed out loud.
He said, "Comrade Ruifeng, I didn't an that, I'm surprised that soone as rule-abiding as you would buy a car on the black market, it's a bit unexpected."
Chen Ruifeng scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Indeed, I underestimated you before. I thought about it all night; maybe our understanding of you is insufficient. A great person once said, whether white cat or black cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. It seems we haven't grasped the essence of this saying."
Chen Fang patted him on the shoulder.
He said, "Exactly, as long as we uphold a core interest—all for the national interest, then nothing else matters."
"Well, I will always rember this,"
Chen Ruifeng nodded and said.
At this ti.
Lin Youyu also walked over with a bag of luggage.
Threw it directly into the trunk.
Chen Fang frowned and asked, "What's this?"
"My luggage,"
Lin Youyu said.
Chen Fang was startled and asked, "What do you an your luggage? Are you coming with ?"
Lin Youyu looked puzzled at Chen Ruifeng.
Chen Ruifeng chuckled and said, "Ambassador Chen, we discussed it and felt it would be too dangerous for you to go alone. Comrade Youyu has worked in Wanggan for many years, and is experienced. With his assistance, the journey will be much more convenient."
"But what about here?"
Chen Fang asked.
Chen Ruifeng said seriously, "Ambassador Chen, didn't you say that recently Badula wouldn't take any action against us, so there shouldn't be any trouble here."
Now that it's been planned to this extent.
If Chen Fang were to refuse, it would seem inconsiderate.
And Chen Ruifeng has a point.
Having more people to look after each other on the road is ultimately more prudent, plus Lin Youyu is ard and can protect himself in extre situations.
"Alright, let's do it this way. When I get over there, I'll find a way to arrange for Comrade Youyu to co back."
After saying this.
He was just about to get into the car.
Then he saw that the embassy staff was already gathered at the door.
Although they haven't been together for long.
But obviously, these people have developed a fondness for this young ambassador.
After all, it's a fact that Chen Fang single-handedly resolved the current crisis.
This is sothing these people have never been able to do.
In the crowd.
Ning ng stepped forward.
She handed a small box to Chen Fang.
"What's this?"
Chen Fang asked curiously.
Ning ng smiled slightly and said, "Before I ca to Wanggan, my mom asked for this protective charm for at the temple. I know we are all staunch materialists and shouldn't believe in such things, but I'm giving it to you in the hope it brings you good luck."
Chen Fang opened it.
Inside was a jade pendant, carved in the shape of Maitreya Buddha.
"I shouldn't really accept it, but I can't refuse your kindness, so I'll keep it. During my ti in Wanggan, I promise to wear it every day."
After saying this.
He took out the Maitreya Buddha pendant and wore it around his neck.
At that mont, Chen Fang didn't know that soday in the future, this Maitreya Buddha jade pendant would indeed bring him good luck, just like Ning ng said.
Every farewell is sad.
And Chen Fang dislikes this sadness most.
He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, no need to look so gloomy. I'll solve the matters in Wanbei and co back, and by then, you all better prepare so good food and wine for . By the way, Comrade Ruifeng, you might have to think of a way to get two more bottles of Maotai…"
"Hahaha…"
The group burst into laughter at this.
And amid this laughter.
Lin Youyu drove away slowly from the embassy.
The group stood at the door waving goodbye until the vehicle turned and disappeared from sight.
"Ambassador Chen, they really like you."
Suddenly.
Lin Youyu said while driving.
This comnt made Chen Fang feel warm inside.
He said with so emotion, "I've been in the official circles for many years, and it's only since coming here that I found it might be the cleanest place within the system."
"That's not surprising. The dostic environnt is too stable and quiet, making power and interest the focus of contention, but once our people leave and go to another place, the national interest becos the greatest, personal interest instead becos insignificant…"
Lin Youyu said.
