"Hello, Secretary Gao."
Lu Zhizhong picked up the phone without deliberately avoiding Li Zhen Ting and others.
"I received a call from the Foreign Affairs Departnt. The Consul General of the Korea Consulate encountered trouble at the Provincial Governnt?"
When Secretary Gao said this, his tone was sowhat uncertain.
Although he received the call from the Foreign Affairs Departnt, and the departnt explained it very clearly.
But because the matter seed a bit too outrageous, he wondered if sothing had gone wrong sowhere.
Therefore, when inquiring, his tone was not very confident.
Lu Zhizhong said, "Indeed, such a thing happened."
"Today, President Zhao from the Korea Consulate ca to visit . Governor Li suspected that Consul Zhao's identity was fake, so he called the police. Now, Consul Zhao has been taken to the police station."
"I vouched for Consul Zhao's identity, and Consul Zhao also clarified his identity, but Governor Li still didn't believe it. There was no other way, so Consul Zhao had to contact the Foreign Affairs Departnt."
Secretary Gao caught onto the key point: "Consul Zhao went to visit you?"
"Yes." Lu Zhizhong replied, "A couple of days ago, a consulate official had so conflict with Director Song of the City Governnt. Consul Zhao specifically ca to explain this incident to ."
Secretary Gao's eyelid twitched lightly.
The Consul General ca to you to explain?
No matter how you hear it, it sounds strange.
Others might not know about Lu Zhizhong's situation, but Secretary Gao knew.
Lu Zhizhong indeed had no background, no backing.
He didn't quite understand why the consulate would go to explain to him?
"I understand."
Secretary Gao didn't ask much on the phone.
After a brief understanding of the situation, he hung up.
Shortly after, Qu Xiangru's phone rang.
It was also from Secretary Gao.
She walked to the side and answered, "Hello, Secretary Gao."
"Yes, this matter did happen."
"Consul Zhao did specifically co to visit Governor Lu. The situation is roughly..."
After she briefly explained, Secretary Gao hung up the phone.
Then, Li Zhen Ting's phone rang.
Seeing it was a call from Secretary Gao, Li Zhen Ting felt sothing was a bit off.
He walked to the side: "Hello, Secretary Gao."
Secretary Gao asked, "I heard you called the police to arrest the Consul General of the Korea Consulate?"
Li Zhen Ting's mouth twitched, suddenly recalling Lu Zhizhong answering the phone earlier.
Presumably, he was just complaining to Secretary Gao, right?
Li Zhen Ting explained, "Secretary Gao, this person is not the Consul General of the consulate."
"Oh? How do you know?" Secretary Gao did not get angry, his tone was very calm.
Li Zhen Ting said, "The Consul General of the Korea Consulate is surnad Cui, nad Cui Shibin, whom Secretary Gao has t."
"Hmm, I have so impression," Secretary Gao said, "So, based on this, you determined that this Consul Zhao is fake?"
"Of course!" Li Zhen Ting said confidently.
Secretary Gao said, "I just received a call from the Foreign Affairs Departnt, stating that the Korea Consulate informs that their Consul General is being detained by you at the Provincial Governnt."
"What?"
Li Zhen Ting's expression halted, and the confidence he had just raised instantly collapsed.
The Foreign Affairs Departnt...
This, this...
This guy is really the Consul General?
But, wasn't the Consul General Cui Shibin!
"Secretary Gao, are you sure?"
At this mont, he was really a bit dizzy and even began to question Secretary Gao.
Secretary Gao was not angry: "That's what the Foreign Affairs Departnt said, perhaps the departnt is also fake."
"..." He heard the teasing tone of Secretary Gao, imdiately realizing he seed to have caused trouble.
What he thought was fake turned out to be real!
Although he didn't understand why the consulate's Consul General suddenly changed, it was clear that he was in big trouble this ti!
Secretary Gao didn't know when he hung up the phone. He looked up at Zhao Guangxian, who was being questioned by the police, with a slightly pale face.
He swallowed, turned to look at Lu Zhizhong.
Lu Zhizhong remained calm.
If it were before this call, he would have thought that Lu Zhizhong was putting on an enigmatic calmness.
But now, he just felt that this Governor, seemingly having no background, had an identity that was extrely mysterious.
Even the Consul General ca personally to visit.
The influence of this person could reach the skies!
He had truly been recklessly bold just now, daring to speak to him in such a tone!
Li Zhen Ting shuddered, a chill creeping up from inside.
He knew, this ti he had seriously offended Lu Zhizhong.
And it was in front of so many people, putting Lu Zhizhong in an impossible position.
Don't think that just because Lu Zhizhong seems not angry, no one knows what he really thinks inside.
As a top figure in the City Governnt, having been so offended by him, the Deputy Governor, he had probably already figured out how to deal with him.
Li Zhen Ting felt a strong sense of crisis.
At this mont, his fear of Lu Zhizhong far exceeded the offense caused to Zhao Guangxian, the Consul General.
Others, seeing Li Zhen Ting's expression, found it a bit strange.
"Governor Li, are you feeling unwell?" Deputy Governor Lin Daoquan asked.
Governor Li seed not to hear, his steps sowhat unsteady, he approached Lu Zhizhong, lips trembling, even his voice shook.
"Governor Lu, I, I... this is a misunderstanding."
He tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but his expression was not much better than a crying face.
Others looked over, confused.
Misunderstanding?
What misunderstanding?
What is Li Zhen Ting talking about?
Lu Zhizhong said, "Go and speak with Consul Zhao."
"Alright, alright, I'll go right away."
Li Zhen Ting quickly approached Zhao Guangxian, and his once straight back imdiately bent under everyone's gaze.
"Consul Zhao, this matter is a misunderstanding, I apologize to you, and hope you accept my apology."
Li Zhen Ting was sweating coldly.
He never thought this guy was indeed a genuine Consul General!
Where is the forr Consul Cui?
Hearing Li Zhen Ting's words, seeing his servile manner, Lin Daoquan and the others were stunned.
Soon, they imdiately reacted.
This Consul Zhao is real!
Since he is real, today was not Lu Zhizhong bluffing...
Damn!
The Consul General truly ca to visit Lu Zhizhong!
They gasped and couldn't help guessing about Lu Zhizhong's background.
The chief, who was taking notes for Zhao Guangxian, stopped and quietly stepped aside.
He realized there were more twists to this matter.
Zhao Guangxian slowly stood up and asked, "Can I leave now?"
"Yes, yes."
Li Zhen Ting said, "Consul Zhao, let accompany you."
"No need."
Zhao Guangxian walked towards Lu Zhizhong and said, "Governor Lu, I hope what happened today doesn't affect the relationship between you and ."
Lu Zhizhong, apologetically, said, "I should be the one to say that. I'm sorry Zhao Consul had to endure such indignity today."
"Governor Lu, there's no need to apologize. I will lodge a protest with your country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding this matter."
Just a simple statent caused Li Zhen Ting's heart to nearly stop.
This matter isn't over!
Zhao Guangxian clearly intends to escalate the matter!
Governor Lu nodded, "As you should, I'll escort Consul Zhao."
Until the two left, the crowd finally exhaled the breath they held.
It seed they heard Consul Zhao say he would file a protest with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...
They couldn't help but look at Li Zhen Ting with sympathetic eyes.
This ti, even if Li Zhen Ting isn't removed from his position, he shouldn't expect any further promotions.
