Chapter 445 Arrived in Cairo

Before going to Egypt, we have to receive some diplomatic guidance. This is a routine work, and it is naturally carried out by officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Of course, this guidance is mainly aimed at rookies like Liu Jinpeng. Li Xiwen received a crown prince-like education and there will be no problems. In addition, some important members who received guidance, such as Lu Ruqing, have to listen to the other party’s nagging.

The person who provided diplomatic guidance to Liu Jinpeng was Rob of the African Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although this name is a bit strange, this person does not have foreign blood. Rob probably knew something and was very polite to Liu Jinpeng. He mainly talked about some of the situations learned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Egypt, including the simple resumes of the Egyptian royal family members and their relationships, factions and leaders in the Egyptian government, etc. As for the relationship between Egypt and neighboring countries, there is no detailed explanation.

After explaining some information-based things, Rob began to talk about things that need to be paid attention to in diplomacy. Don’t make a wish at will. Last time, he was told, but Rob didn’t know that, and then he said it again, and then some routine rules. The main thing is to pay attention to the host and the host in foreign affairs activities. Don’t interrupt when the team leader introduces members, don’t overestimate the host, hide your weaknesses if you don’t understand, and be embarrassed if you say something wrong, etc.

Liu Jinpeng felt that this seemed similar to ordinary banquet etiquette. Seeing that he was a little uneasy, Rob gave him two more examples. When introducing a member of the General Staff official who was accompanying him during his trip to the United States last year, he said: "This is someone who has made a lot of contributions to the anti-terrorism intelligence work." That means that we are not worse than you in anti-terrorism intelligence, and we are not afraid of saying it out and comparing it.

After talking about these examples, Rob said earnestly: "These all show that diplomacy is nothing small, so don't be careless. It is possible that if you don't consider the word you say, you will be caught by the other party, which will bring passiveness to our work." After all, he is still afraid of something happening. Rob actually doesn't want to guide him, but he can't resist the leader.

After dealing with the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Liu Jinpeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Qiao was also taken to give advice for a while. Now he is still a little nervous when he comes back. Seeing the chairman, he hurriedly asked hello and said, "I heard what they said are so terrible. It seems that others are trying their best to find grammatical problems or trouble. Boss, how can I not go?"

Liu Jinpeng scolded her angrily and said, "What are you so nervous? If you say you are nervous, I am more nervous than you. If you don't understand, you can ask me. If I don't understand, no one will ask." This is pure nonsense. This guy is not nervous at all, but after he said this, Xiao Qiao was not so nervous. He was still in the mood to laugh.

During this trip to Egypt, Li Xiwen's entourage was also very large. When she went abroad, she had to bring an assistant, translator, bodyguard, doctor and other large groups of people. Then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, General Staff, Royal Bureau of Investigation and Royal Bureau all had entourages, which totaled nearly 100 people. Liu Jinpeng said sourly: "So many people, the round-trip air tickets are a lot of money, and they are all worth the money."

Fortunately, only Li Xiwen heard his complaints, and at most Mo Xiaohong was added. His princess rolled her eyes as usual and turned around to talk to Mo Xiaohong. She was about to board the plane and was leaving for a dedicated airport, so she was not in a hurry now and she had time to sit for a while. Li Jingwen and Wan Qiwei were both here to see her off, and there were dozens of security personnel they brought, filling the originally large waiting room.

When she was about to leave, Wan Qiwei held her daughter and refused to let go. She also gave advice from her back and forth. Li Jingwen couldn't get in and could only treat Liu Jinpeng as her son-in-law. Liu Jinpeng used it as a nodding machine and honestly said nothing strange. In fact, even if the relationship between them was half confirmed during this visit, Liu Jinpeng would not be qualified to accompany her to Egypt. Now most of the staff know this lucky guy.

Liu Jinpeng is still a little depressed. You guys have all the eyes. Do you think I am a soft-hearted person? His grandmother is really intolerable. But now the aura in the waiting room is too strong, and Liu Jinpeng is not that second-rate, so he is still quite honest for the time being. After saying goodbye to the person who saw him off and boarded the plane, he threw these things behind his head, so he didn't want to be angry with the onlookers.

The aircraft of the diplomatic mission stops at the second terminal of Cairo International Airport. There is a special passage specially opened for guests from important countries such as the Han Empire and the United States. The security checks of the second terminal are relatively strict, but for the diplomatic mission, there is no need to check at all, so naturally I can't feel it.

Cairo's time zone is East Second District, which is 6 hours apart from Pingjing. After getting off the plane, the Egyptian royal family and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent people to greet him. The representative of the royal family was still Prince Sayed. The prince was very enthusiastic when he saw Li Xiwen, and he also took the time to say to Liu Jinpeng: "Dr. Liu, you are finally here. You must come to my manor this time." After that, this guy blinked deliberately. Li Xiwen immediately remembered the Arab maid and came over.

It was really a mess. Liu Jinpeng greeted Prince Said with laughter and cry, and said, "I will accept Xiwen's supervision throughout this time. As for that maid, Your Highness, don't mention it anymore. I don't want to go home and kneel down to the washboard."

Said laughed and didn't mention this matter anymore, but he still said to Li Xiwen: "This time, Your Majesty arranged for you to live on Bushra Island, which is a royal manor there, so it is very quiet. However, the transportation is a little inconvenient, so you have to take a bus and cross the bridge. If you take a boat or a plane, it will be much simpler. It's as you like." Bushra Island is close to Basus and is already a suburb of Cairo's urban area.

Next, I would like to stay there first. Li Xiwen and Liu Jinpeng have special cars, and all the other entourages took two buses to Bushra Island. When I took the bus, there were officials from the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as tour guides and introduced the scenery and buildings along the way. It was indeed a long way to go. There was only a bridge at the northern end of Bushra Island. The entire island looked lush and green, revealing only some of the spires and dome buildings.

From the bridge, there is a square and a large fountain pool. The cars drove directly into the road. There were also guard posts and guards, but they were all released directly. Liu Jinpeng and Li Xiwen's residences were close to the southern end of the island, far from the entrance. It is said that for safety reasons, the buildings here are very far apart from each other, and large areas of trees are blocked, so they look very careful.

The buildings on the island are basically local characteristics, including round arched roofs and small lattice windows, full of religious flavor. Most of Egyptian buildings are flat roofs, which are probably related to the slightest snow here. Flat roof houses, paired with steeple minarets and dome mosques, have a unique flavor.

Arabs like to burn sandalwood indoors, so there is a round incense burner in each house. The incense burner in Egypt is much larger than in China. When you look rough, you look like a lying egg with many small holes on it to exude the fragrance. There are also silver hookahs next to the Arabian lounge chair, but this hookah is much worse than Li Jingwen's one, at least not a few gems were seen.

I don’t know if it was intentional or negligent, but this time the Egyptian side actually arranged Liu Jinpeng and Li Xiwen in a building. Although all this building is for them to use, and the accompanying staff including Mo Xiaohong, Lin Lin, Eva and Xiao Qiao can all be moved in, it still makes people feel a little strange.

Liu Jinpeng tried the Arabian recliner. There were curved grooves on both sides of the armrests. It looked strange, but it was actually very comfortable. Li Xiwen was working hard to unload her luggage. Seeing him being lazy, she couldn't help complaining: "If you don't say help me, you will know how lazy you are. And you are not allowed to smoke that hookah, it tastes weird." In fact, there is a smell of smoke when kissing. Li Xiwen dislikes the smell of smoke the most.

Liu Jinpeng jumped up again and ran to Li Xiwen to pick her up. His princess was startled and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that this guy had put her on the recliner. Liu Jinpeng did not forget to brag, "Let me come, you have a good rest, I will prepare it for you in a while."

Li Xiwen was worried. She lay down for a while and was about to say that this thing was quite comfortable, but suddenly she remembered that there were some women's supplies in the box, so she quickly got up again and happened to see Liu Jinpeng throwing the pile of underwear and bras on the bed. She yelled angrily: "How can you throw it around? I don't know if this bed is done clean."

It's such a cleanliness obsessed. Liu Jinpeng continued to clean up and comforted him, "Don't worry, this house must be cleaned every day. Even if it's not clean, it has to be cleaned for you when it's time to entertain guests. I bet this embroidered sheet was definitely changed this morning."

Li Xiwen didn't say anything again, and continued to stay on the recliner, muttering: "This thing is comfortable to lie down, which is good for the lumbar muscles, so I can get one when I go home." Liu Jinpeng dared not speak out. These women would get it back when they see something good, regardless of whether the style matched or not. Maybe they would feel that it was in the way when they passed, and the big men would clean up for them.

After packing up the things and sorting toiletries, Li Xiwen's bottles and jars are now much less, and she boasts that she is naturally beautiful. However, since she applied the genetic modification liquid, she has lost even the occasional small acne, so she is in a good mood.

After finishing all this, Liu Jinpeng looked at the time. It was still around 12 noon, which was 6 hours later than Pingjing time. He left Pingjing in the afternoon and arrived in Cairo, and it turned out to be in the morning. Because he had eaten and slept on the plane, Li Xiwen was in good spirits now. Liu Jinpeng advised her to make a jet lag and she would not do it. She actually wanted to go out for sightseeing now, and because Liu Jinpeng had been to Cairo before, he wanted him to be a tour guide.

Liu Jinpeng was not used to her and threatened: "If you sleep for a while, it will be a jet lag. If you don't sleep, I'll call your parents."

Li Xiwen was scared by his tossing and said quickly: "Okay, I'll sleep, but I can't sleep. You have to sing a lullaby for me."

Lullaby is not simple, and Liu Jinpeng has not sang it before, but this time I didn’t sing the horror, so I honestly sing the lullaby so that my princess won’t make a fuss and stop her from sleeping again. (To be continued...)
