Cohen has been in China for more than half a month. The task the company sent him here is actually very simple, which is to persuade Zhou Ke to return to Canada. But now, the simple thing has become extremely complicated. And as time goes by, things
It seemed that the commotion was getting bigger and bigger, and it was no longer something that a small employee like him could control.
Just a few days ago, the general manager called and asked why the originally booked flight was suddenly canceled and why he hadn't gone back yet. Cohen could tell from the phone that the several days of waiting had made the general manager impatient.
He even spoke with an attitude of asking for justice, so he was even more afraid to report the real situation, which would lead to a disadvantageous outcome, so he made up an excuse, saying that Zhou Ke had lost his passport and was in the process of getting a replacement.
He would be back soon, so the general manager softened his attitude and ended the call after saying a few words.
In fact, he was not sure when he could bring Zhou Ke back. The so-called 'it won't take long' was completely perfunctory. He pinned his hope on a few days later, when the visa expired, hoping to bring Zhou Ke back.
Gram was forcibly brought home.
Cohen spent the past few days in agony. He never hoped that Zhou Ke would change his mind and return to Canada with him, but in the end, he never saw his shadow.
"Jefferson, tomorrow is the day when Zhou Ke's visa expires. Why don't you think Zhou Ke has come to apply for a new visa?" Cohen asked Jefferson. This is Jefferson's office, in the embassy.
He was here every day. Even when Jefferson was working, he would still be here, standing in front of the window, looking at the door of the embassy, like a woman who had been abandoned by her husband, looking forward to it.
Zhou Ke was able to change his mind.
"Won't you come to re-apply? Isn't that great? He doesn't have any documents on him now, and the visa date has come again. We can let the Chinese arrest him tomorrow and send him directly back to the country." Jefferson said with a smile. Compared to Cohen
Despite his anxiety, Jefferson looked much more relaxed, as if he had everything under control.
"We don't even know where he is now, how can we capture him?" Cohen said, "Also, didn't the man who came to pick up Zhou Ke say that when we were at the airport that day? As long as he is in his company, he will be there."
No one dares to go in and arrest people.”
"Don't listen to that man, he is just scaring us. If he is really so powerful, why hasn't he come to our embassy to get Cohen's certificate reissued yet? We also found a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs official to bring Zhou Ke to reissue it. Even though
Is that so? Wasn’t he rejected by us? I haven’t seen him or Zhou Ke since then. I thought that the other person must only know that one person, but in the end, this person couldn’t get the certificate. Maybe this
At that time, they were worrying about applying for the certificate, and Zhou Ke was hesitant and didn't know what to do. So, you don't have to worry at all. Besides, now that Minister Rice is supporting us, you don't have to worry about anything," Jefferson said.
.He seemed to be full of confidence in being able to bring Zhou Ke back to China.
However, he doesn't seem to know that before a storm comes, the sea is usually very calm. Of course, the calmness is only on the surface. In fact, it is a kind of brewing, a brewing full of danger.
At this moment, Jefferson's cell phone rang suddenly. He looked at it, immediately stood up from his chair, and answered the phone.
"Minister Rice...Okay. We'll go there immediately." After saying that, Jefferson put down the phone, looked at Cohen opposite and said, "Cohen, Minister Rice asked us to go to Ambassador Joey's office.
Ambassador Yi wants to see us."
"Ambassador Joey's office?" Cohen was stunned after hearing this. You must know that Joey is the highest-status person in the embassy and can directly see the heads of state of the two countries. "Why does Ambassador Joey want to see us?"
"I guess it's Zhou Ke's matter. Minister Rice must have told Ambassador Joey about it, so Ambassador Joey met with us." Jefferson said with a smile, "Let's go quickly, don't let it go
They've been waiting a long time."
"Oh!" Cohen nodded, stood up quickly, and followed Jefferson. In fact, he had already lost his mind and listened to the other party in everything. He would do whatever the other party asked him to do. In fact, since Zhou Ke
The loss of documents began, and he had handed everything over to Jefferson.
The two came to Ambassador Joey's office and saw Minister Rice waiting outside the ambassador's office from a distance. Jefferson walked over quickly and said, "Minister Rice, we are here. I don't know what Joy is doing."
Why does the ambassador want to see us?" In his opinion, Minister Rice rejected Zhou Ke because the people on his side were his own, so he was much more relaxed than when he faced Minister Rice before.
Now, I dare to ask questions directly.
"You will find out when you go in." Rice said expressionlessly after hearing this. Because he knew that the Chinese business delegation's plan to visit Canada was cancelled, he was in a very bad mood. And strictly speaking, this matter had nothing to do with him.
Regarding the matter, if he had not listened to Jefferson and rejected the Chinese official, maybe that official would not have objected to the business delegation's visit to Canada, and the plan would not have been cancelled.
This is not a small matter, it is a major matter related to the relationship between the two countries. After the Prime Minister learns about this matter, he will definitely reprimand them, and other factions will also use this opportunity to cause trouble. What he is most worried about now is that Minister Joy will
After betraying him and letting him take the blame, he would be the unlucky one. Such worries made him hate Jefferson, and there was a fierce light in his eyes when he looked at him. Why did he do it in the first place?
Why not tell yourself such a bad thing? Why not just tell Joey?
Jefferson didn't notice Minister Rice's attitude. He was only thinking about how to behave in front of Ambassador Joy. If he made good use of this opportunity, maybe he would no longer be a small embassy secretary? And there was Pang.
With Baker's support, it is not impossible to become a counselor, and maybe he can directly return to the country and join the Congress.
However, Cohen, who was in a depressed mood, noticed the change in Minister Rice, and was startled by the other party's gaze, and shuddered unconsciously. What happened? What happened? Why did Minister Rice treat them so badly?
Has his attitude suddenly changed? Or is he now sensitive? Just when he was about to get Jefferson's attention, Jefferson had already entered the ambassador's office first.
Ambassador Joey's office is very large and very neat. This is the first time that Cohen has met the ambassador, so he feels very nervous. In fact, it is mainly because he has a guilty conscience. After all, he deceived everyone about Zhou Ke.
He clearly didn’t ask anyone in Pompek for instructions. But he told everyone that he was Pompek’s representative and what he meant was Pompek’s meaning. If this matter was exposed, then not only would he not be able to handle Zhou Ke’s affairs,
This kind of deception will definitely get him out of Pompeii.
"Ambassador Joey, we are here." Jefferson looked at the person sitting behind the desk and actively introduced him, "This is my friend, the representative of Pomback Company, Cohen." After saying that, he hurriedly called Cohen.
a color.
Cohen was still thinking uneasily about his own affairs. He didn't notice Jefferson's eyes at all. He was in a daze. Rice's unfriendly gaze had a great impact on him. Jefferson
After seeing it, he quickly pushed the other person with his hand. Cohen Brick looked at Jefferson, and then he understood what was going on. He quickly said, "Ambassador Joey, hello. I am Cohen, from Bombeck Pharmaceuticals."
Representative, it’s really troublesome for you to stay in the embassy for so many days this time.”
Joey kept looking at Cohen. This representative of Pomback Biopharmaceutical Company was not what he imagined. Anyone who could become a representative of Pombeck should be the elite among the elite, but he did not see anything from this Cohen.
Seeing the temperament that an elite should have, he couldn't help but start to doubt in his heart, was this person really a representative of Bombeck?
"Are you the representative of Pomback Biopharmaceutical Company?" Joey asked calmly. He did not immediately get angry at the other party. Because if all this was really Pombeck's intention, then he would have to think about it seriously. After all,
Someone in the family behind Bombeck was a member of the cabinet.
"Yes. Yes, I am!" Cohen said quickly after hearing this. Perhaps he was too nervous, so his voice was trembling when he spoke.
"Are you really?" Joey frowned and asked again.
"Really. This, this is my work ID at Bombeck." Cohen quickly handed his work ID to the other party.
"Ambassador Joey, he is a good friend of mine. He really works at Pomback Biopharmaceutical Company. I can assure you with his personality," Jefferson said.
Joey looked at Cohen's ID, then handed it back to the other party, and continued to ask, "About your visit to China this time, I have heard from Minister Rice. Pomback sent you here for
Bring back the person named Zhou Ke, because this person is involved in some Pomback secrets. What kind of secrets are they? Is it important?"
"We have a very important research project in Bombeck. This project has been carried out for many years and has been supported by the Canadian government. Zhou Ke is a core member of this project. Because he knows too much about the core content of this project, if
If he leaked these contents, the loss to us at Bombeck would be very huge." Cohen said seriously. As a member of this project, although he is not the core, he also knows the importance of this project, "We are knowing
After Zhou Ke came to China this time, he wanted to join a company that was also engaged in this research. The company immediately sent me here to bring Zhou Ke back. However, in the process, I was influenced by the people from this company.
Due to the obstacles, Zhou Ke could not be brought back, so we had to find Jefferson and ask the embassy for help."
"Then have you reported the situation encountered here to Bombek Head Office?"
"The report was made, and before I left, the general manager deliberately called me to his office and told me seriously: We must bring Zhou Ke back at all costs." Cohen said, "If we don't get the help from the head office,
I will not ask the embassy for help." He has already deceived many people, so he doesn't care about deceiving one more person, as long as he can bring Zhou Ke back to Canada.
"Is this really what Pomback Corporation means? Is it your general manager or the board of directors?" Joey asked with a cold face, "Do you know? This kind of matter should be left to the country and negotiated with China through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
, this is the most formal and effective way. But you came to our embassy, do you know what impact this will have on our two countries?"
"I, I...!" Hearing Joey's rebuke, Cohen was stunned and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Ambassador Joey, if Cohen encounters difficulties when he comes to China, who can he turn to if he doesn't come to our embassy? This is also the job of our embassy...!" Jefferson said in confusion.
"Shut up." Joey looked at Jefferson fiercely and said, "As a mysterious staff member of the embassy, you make decisions on your own when things happen. Who gives you the power?"
"Ambassador Joy, we asked Minister Rice for instructions." Jefferson said with an aggrieved look.
After hearing this, Rice was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to punch the opponent immediately. He said coldly to Jefferson, "It seems that you haven't fully understood what Ambassador Joey meant. Ambassador Joey meant,
This kind of matter should be handled domestically instead of being brought back to our embassy. Although we still have to negotiate with China in the end, we have no decision-making power on this matter. And you told me at the beginning that Pomback supported
That's why I agreed not to apply for a new certificate for that person for the time being. But so far, we have not received any instructions from the country about this person. And you have to know that on that day, you were the one who offended the person named
Officials from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Yannan. Did you know? Because of this incident, China has canceled the business delegation’s visit to our country!” He quickly removed himself from the incident, abdicated responsibility, and changed the topic,
Lead to another thing.
"What?" Jefferson was stunned when he heard the last few words of Minister Rice. Counselor Frank had already reminded him about the Chinese business delegation, but he did not think that such a major matter would be ignored.
The influence of the Chinese officials who appeared that day. You must know that the visit is a big deal for both countries. How could the event be terminated because of the words of a small official? Jefferson couldn't believe what Rice said and asked Ambassador Joy.
Said, "This, is this true?"
"What do you think?" Joey said. "You are a staff member of the embassy. Don't you know how much time and effort Minister Rice and I have spent on promoting this commercial visit from China? During this critical period, you actually
You have offended such an important person in China. Do you know what a serious mistake you have made? The country has been preparing for a long time to receive a visit to the Chinese delegation. Now that China has canceled the plan, this is the biggest sin.
?Do you know how much impact this will have on the relationship between the two countries and our country’s economy?”
"I, I really don't know." Jefferson stuttered. This time he finally understood the seriousness of the matter. This was no longer just a simple matter of refusing to apply for a replacement certificate, but had risen to the level of affecting both parties.
The relationship between the two countries was so serious. Jefferson panicked, but he seemed to have thought of something. He trembled all over, glanced at Cohen next to him, and then said, "Ambassador Joey, it's okay, everything we do is
For the sake of Bombeck, the cabinet members behind Bombeck will definitely support us."
"Pombeck? Do you know how many domestic companies are looking forward to the visit of the Chinese business delegation? They have prepared several cooperation projects worth tens of billions of Canadian dollars. Do you think Pomback can give them such a big deal?
Benefit? If other factions find out about this, let alone Pomback, even the Prime Minister will not be able to explain it to the Parliament. When the time comes, will the Prime Minister attend the Congressional hearing, or will you go to the Congressional hearing?"
Jefferson was stupid, and he was completely stupid. He always thought that with Pomback as his backing, he would have support, and Pomback would definitely see the things he did. But this time the Chinese business delegation was cancelled.
The visit shattered the expectations of many domestic companies. He had seen the list of those companies, and none of them were smaller than Bomback. With so many companies added together, even Bomback couldn't resist. There is no such a big piece of cake.
The people who have been waiting for a long time at the table with knives and forks will definitely be very angry. When the time comes to investigate, it will be found that the problem lies with the embassy and him. Even the Prime Minister cannot protect him, and the Prime Minister may also be because of Bombeck.
Being implicated.
It's a big fuss, it's really a big fuss.
"Plop!"
Cohen sat on the floor, startling everyone else in the room.
"What's wrong with you?" Jefferson asked quickly. He stretched out his hand to help the other person up, but found that the other person's body was very heavy and he couldn't help him up at all.
"I, you, I...!" Cohen muttered in his mouth, looking dumbfounded, and started to sweat all over his body.
"Don't hesitate, just say what you have to say." Jefferson said anxiously.
"I, actually I lied to you. I didn't report what happened here to the general manager at all." Cohen finally couldn't bear the pressure, and his whole body collapsed, and he said what he had been holding in his heart. Ambassador Joey
What he said just now made him realize that the matter really could not continue to be concealed, otherwise it would not be as simple as being fired by Bombeck.
"What?" Jefferson was shocked when he heard this. He jumped up in fright, and his eyes almost flew out of his wide eyes.
"Before I left, the general manager told me that I would not go back unless I brought Zhou Ke back," Cohen said. "I knew that if I couldn't bring Zhou Ke back to the company, I would be fired by Pomback.
In order not to lose my job in Bombeck, I can only lie to you. Originally, I thought that as soon as the visa date arrived, I could take Zhou Ke back, as if nothing had happened, but I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. I'm sorry.
!”
"Plop!"
After listening to Cohen's words, Jefferson also collapsed on the ground weakly.
