Ye Kai took a glass of red wine, a plate of food, found a seat in the corner, and sat down.

Looking at the people walking back and forth in the venue, Ye Kai suddenly felt a little bored.

This was a cocktail party held for Ye Ziping to receive people from the business community in Mingzhu City. The number of participants was about two hundred, all of whom were well-known business figures in Mingshu City, as well as their family members or entourages.

Mingzhu City has always been based on the economy, so whoever takes office as secretary of the municipal party committee needs to appease these business people. Although the party leads everything, no businessman is rich, so these businessmen

It also needs special attention. After all, this is an era of reform and opening up, and Mingzhu City is the breakthrough point for key investments in the next wave of reform.

Ye Kai originally didn't want to attend such a boring cocktail party, but his mother Meng Zhaohua said that Ye Kai is not young anymore and should go out to participate in more social activities and gain experience.

Although Ye Kai also refuted it, saying that when he was in Beijing, he was also a social celebrity.

But Meng Zhaohua immediately retorted, saying that if fighting can be considered a social activity, then Ye Kai can still be considered a celebrity.

So Ye Kai came over and followed his father Ye Ziping here.

However, when Ye Ziping appeared, he was surrounded by bodyguards and a group of prominent figures. Ye Kai himself quietly slipped out and found a place to drink and eat.

In fact, most people will be hungry when attending such a cocktail party.

Although the organizer is well prepared, the drinks are top-notch, and the snacks and fruits are very tempting, but the people who can attend this kind of cocktail party have basically never eaten anything? How can they sit down and eat as soon as they arrive? You have to know their

The first goal is to socialize and meet more useful friends. The second is to say hello to some acquaintances, and then I will consider having a drink or something. As for eating, thank you, do you think we are all foodies?!

Of course, Ye Kai didn't have such a realization. He felt that eating when he was hungry was a natural thing.

Besides, he only came here to do errands, and he had no intention of making friends with famous people. In other words, when it came to making friends, it would only be through others going up a pole to curry favor with him?

While Ye Kai was eating and drinking, he reached into the newspaper basket next to him and pulled out a newspaper. Quan thought it was just to pass his time, but after just a few glances, he noticed something.

thing.

"It has to be said that for some time, the US ambassador to China has behaved in various ways that are quite inconsistent with his own duties, and has made constant "little moves". This makes people wonder whether this ambassador's duty is to actively devote himself to developing relations between China and the United States.

, to eliminate mutual misunderstandings and estrangements, or deliberately go to the Chinese society to find trouble and create new and bigger rifts in Sino-US relations... What we see is not a cautious person at all.

Ambassador to China, he is a standard American politician who actively stirs up conflicts. Is this behavior that is extremely inconsistent with the status of an American political leader intentional or unintentional? If so, what is the motive?

, you may as well figure it out for yourself as to what purpose you intend to achieve.”

Ye Kai looked at it and felt that it looked familiar.

It seems that for many years, the writing style in party newspapers and periodicals has always been so sharp.

However, this situation also made him realize that Americans will not jump up and down for no reason. Could it be that the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has been a little abnormal recently, so they are making trouble and provoking

Dial relationships?

But he quickly realized that the Americans were approaching the general election again.

Sino-U.S. relations, to put it simply, are nothing more than "a first sight, a sale." The so-called "first sight" is the meeting with Dalai Lama, and the "first sale" is arms sales to Taiwan.

Every time the President of the United States needs to gain public support, these two issues will be put on the agenda.

In fact, before the Nanmen Incident, it was said that 70% of Americans had a favorable or extremely favorable opinion of China. Bush Sr., who had served as ambassador to China, was also known as the most friendly U.S. president to China. It was just his luck.

No, it was during his tenure that he encountered the most difficult situation to deal with since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.

Bush is determined to maintain the strategic relationship between the two countries, but he must take into account the sentiments of the American people. The U.S. sanctions against China will not be permanent, but they are politically necessary.

Under the pressure of the Congress and parliamentary debate, Bush Sr. imposed a series of sanctions on China, but he still managed to maintain normal relations with China and used the presidential veto several times to oppose the cancellation of the Congress or the threat of sanctions.

Conditional extension of most-favored-nation treatment for China.

Just recently, Bush Sr.'s approval rating was pulled down by the sluggish economic situation. This is a very scary number.

You know, at the end of the Gulf War, his approval rating was as high as 82%.

Under pressure, he agreed to sell 150 F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan and F-15 fighter jets worth US$9 billion to Saudi Arabia. One of these two transactions was given to a Texas company, and the other was given to a Texas company.

Gave it to companies in California and Missouri to fight for these three states that are very important in the election of the United States.

The criticism of the U.S. Ambassador to China in the newspapers seems to have had a lot to do with it. Bush wanted votes but did not want to offend the mainland too much, so the Ambassador to China could only play the game of inconsistent words and deeds.

.

"It's all nonsense." Ye Kai shook the newspaper, folded it, and threw it into the newspaper basket.

When he looked up again, he found that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl suddenly appeared opposite him.

"Huh?" Ye Kai was slightly stunned when he saw her.

He quickly realized that this girl was a relatively famous female host on Pearl TV. She had filmed a youth-themed TV series a few years ago. She was a child star. Even now, she has

Supported by many peers.

It's just that she should be in school now, so why would she appear here?

Ye Kai was suddenly a little suspicious, thinking that her family didn't seem to have a big shot background, so she probably came here with someone, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

But looking at her sitting here with her head bent on eating, Ye Kai felt that she didn't come here specifically to gain knowledge. Although most of the people who appeared here were older, there were also some young talents, like

It's a pity for a girl like her to give up the opportunity to become a powerful person.

Ye Kai glanced at her twice and had to admit that she was indeed pretty. If she hadn't left a bad impression on him later, Ye Kai wouldn't rule out chatting with her.

According to Ye Kai's impression, she seemed to have a heated relationship with a black classmate when she was in college, and then had a relationship with an old man, but ended up marrying the old man's son.

, in short, it was a very confusing relationship, and it is said that the old man once said that her daughter-in-law looked like a dead fish on the bed.

Although I don't know if this is a slanderous rumor thrown by a competitor or if it is true, in short, when Ye Kai saw her, he felt uncomfortable and a bit strange.

But seeing the way she was eating, Ye Kai felt that the child didn't seem so miserable?

"Chen Qiushui?" Ye Kai hesitated for a moment and finally asked in a low voice.

The girl who was filling her stomach with a cake stopped, raised her head in surprise, and looked at Ye Kai, as if she didn't think she would be recognized here.

"I am your movie fan." Ye Kai stretched out his hand as if to shake her hand.

The girl seemed to hesitate for a moment before reaching out her hand and touching Ye Kai lightly, then quickly retracted, but her eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Kai, as if she was also impressed by his youth.

And felt a little surprised.

"Have you been filming recently?" Ye Kai asked.

Angry..." The girl shook her head and looked at Ye Kai with wide eyes, feeling a little cute.

It took a lot of effort for her to swallow the cake in her mouth. She quickly picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of red wine. Then she said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I choked just now.

I haven’t asked who you are yet?”

"The leaves are blooming, the leaves are blooming, and the flowers are blooming." Ye Kai replied with a smile, but in his heart, he thought that this girl should not be on the road of no return yet in the entertainment industry.

But just when I was about to chat a few more words, I heard the warm applause over there. When I looked back, I saw that Ziping had already given a brief speech, and everyone was welcoming the new Municipal Party Committee Secretary with warm applause.

Remember the arrival

"Sorry, I have to leave." Ye Kai stood up, thought for a moment, and left a business card for the girl, "If you need anything, you can call me. If it's okay, you can call me, bye.

.”

After watching Ye Kai leave, the girl held the business card left by Ye Kai between her two slender fingers and suddenly smiled.

He looks so similar to the newly arrived Ye Shuji, but his surname is Ye, and his age seems to be just right. If he has nothing to do with Ye Shuji, would it be too much of a coincidence?

The girl carefully put away the film, but thought about what she had seen by chance today. Sure enough, she did not waste the opportunity. However, it is not clear yet whether this Ye Kai is the young master in Ye Shu's book? But it depends on his temperament and appearance.

, but it is excellent.

Previously, she found out that Ye Kai's appearance was similar to that of Ye Ziping, so she deliberately sat across from him. Otherwise, there were so many empty tables, how about squeezing together with Ye Kai?

While the girl was thinking, a female companion came over, took her arm and said, "Guess who I saw? Deputy Mayor Han's son! Don't you want to get to know some big shots?

Would you like to go over and see if there is an opportunity to get acquainted? "

The girl hesitated for a moment, then was pulled by her female companion and walked to the other side of the venue.

At this time, Ye Kai had already walked towards Ye Ziping.
