Chapter 1141 I Would Feel Resentful
Gu Nianzhi had been looking at the scenery outside the car window, so when Rong Mingxing suddenly spoke, she was taken by surprise.
She looked back at Rong Mingxing for a few moments before smiling. “Thank you, Miss Rong, but there will be no need. I will follow Speaker Long during my entire stay here. I will go wherever Speaker Long goes. No company or guide is needed.”
She still needed to be Speaker Long’s escort and guide, so why would she have that spare time for others to be her guide?
Rong Mingxing felt relieved. Her mouth twitched as she looked at Special Assistant Yang and thought, that’s great because I don’t want to accompany you either…
She was the one who gave Gu Nianzhi trouble and was publicly humiliated by her. She still held a grudge against Gu Nianzhi, and she couldn’t act like nothing had happened.
Special Assistant Yang smiled and said to Gu Nianzhi, “Miss Gu has finally come to India, so you have to at least see the attractions here… Let Xiao Rong accompany you around. She is the only woman in the embassy here. The rest are all men. If you have any needs, it would be more convenient to go to her.”
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows, glanced at Rong Mingxing, and said, “How long has Miss Rong been in New Delhi, India?”
Rong Mingxing’s eyes wandered, and she said awkwardly, “…not long.”
“How long is it not long?” Gu Nianzhi’s expression calmed down, and her cold eyes moved to look at Special Assistant Yang. “Special Assistant Yang, for how long have you been in India?”
Special Assistant Yang laughed and said, “I have been here for a week or two, and Xiao Rong has also been here for a week.”
“You are also a newcomer, so how can I shamelessly let you be my accompanying guide?” Gu Nianzhi spread her hands out helplessly, and said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, “Furthermore, I am accompanying Speaker Long for work, not traveling at the public’s expense. Special Assistant Yang, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don’t need it.”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes flickered over Rong Mingxing’s flustered face without concealing the contempt and disdain in her eyes.
Rong Mingxing’s face flushed, and she couldn’t bear it any longer, so she turned her head abruptly and stared at the scenery outside.
Special Assistant Yang smiled and shook his head. “Fortunately, we are not in the same car as Speaker Long. If Speaker Long heard you say that, Xiao Rong and I really wouldn’t have a way out.”
As the saying goes, killing a person’s way of making money was like killing his parents.
If she caused trouble again, and Special Assistant Yang lost his job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Gu Nianzhi would feel a little guilty.
So, when Special Assistant Yang said this, Gu Nianzhi stopped talking, then smiled and looked out the window.
…
Speaker Long followed the Vice President of India to the Indian Federal Parliament Building.
Today, he and the Vice President of India were here to issue a joint statement.
After getting out of the car, Gu Nianzhi, another special assistant, and an interpreter followed Speaker Long.
When Speaker Long went on stage to give a speech, Gu Nianzhi and the special assistant both stood behind Speaker Long.
If it weren’t for the fact that Gu Nianzhi looked too delicate and the special assistant looked too gentle, everyone would have thought that they were the security personnel of the Huaxia Empire.
In reality, one was a legal adviser, and the other was a versatile assistant.
The real security personnel was mixed in with the crowd, and very few of them appeared publicly.
After the announcement of the joint statement, Gu Nianzhi took a look at the itinerary for the next few days.
This included talks with the Indian Prime Minister Dimo, talks with the upper and lower parliament chambers of India, visits to public hospitals, schools, shopping malls, and residential communities in New Delhi, the capital of India, and visits to India’s historical sites, especially the most famous Taj Mahal.
Nothing else caught her eyes, but when she saw the Taj Mahal listed, she felt moved.
She was willing to pay herself to check out this place.
So, she was actually traveling on public expense?
Gu Nianzhi felt a little uncomfortable, but the temptation of the Taj Mahal was too great.
Ever since Reinitz had given her the note and she saw the poem about the Taj Mahal, she had researched it a lot on the Internet. She had even hacked into the website to find out about the Taj Mahal’s academic works.
After reading many materials, Gu Nianzhi felt that she knew more about the Taj Mahal than the guides themselves…
Rong Mingxing had said that she would be her escort and guide?
Hehe, she was acting too big for her britches.
Gu Nianzhi twitched the corners of her mouth, put the itinerary into the calendar in her mobile phone, then added a reminder so that she wouldn’t have to be in a hurry.
According to the itinerary, there would be a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Dimo in the afternoon.
However, the Vice President of India told Speaker Long apologetically, “I just received the news that our Prime Minister has been very busy these days. The meeting with you might have to be postponed.”
“Very busy…?” Speaker Long said slowly, nodding.
Gu Nianzhi fiddled with the remote control in her hand.
She had just heard about the news from a female staff member of the Indian Federal Assembly. She knew that the reason the Indian Prime Minister Dimo went back and changed the pre-arranged itinerary was so he could greet the Japanese Prime Minister.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help asking the female staff member of the Indian Parliament in the gorgeous sari, “…Since your Prime Minister invited the Prime Minister of Japan to visit India, why did you guys suddenly invite us at the same time?”
Because both nations were visiting at the same time, India was busy. They seemed to have forgotten basic diplomatic etiquette, and everything became superfluous. Of course, a prime minister couldn’t appear in two places at the same time.
So, the Huaxia Empire had to suffer the grievances.
The female staff member blinked her big eyes and said with admiration, “We did not invite the Prime Minister of Japan. The Prime Minister of Japan himself asked to visit us because our Prime Minister Dimo is so kind. He has received the love of all the heads of state and the people!”
Gu Nianzhi, “…”
There were really many fans of Prime Minister Dimo…
Gu Nianzhi wanted to shake the young and beautiful Indian girl. She could fawn over anyone, but she chose to fawn over a gray-haired prime minister?
Of course, Gu Nianzhi dared not say this out loud.
The words that left her mouth sounded more like this.
“So, the Japanese Prime Minister suddenly asked to visit you guys, you all agreed, and even forgot to greet our leader, Speaker Long, properly? Am I too nit-picky, or do you guys have no sense of reason?”
Gu Nianzhi had dulled her words by not saying that they were brainless.
The Indian girl grew teary when she heard her say this and covered her mouth with her hands. Her big eyes had on heavy eyeshadow, so her makeup was smeared like a panda.
“…It’s… we weren’t careful,” the female staff member finally choked out, and then she ran out of the banquet hall.
The other staff next to her desperately began to make excuses to maintain their dignity.
“In reality, we value your Huaxia Empire more. You see, you all have our invitations. It’s just that our Prime Minister couldn’t choose, so we changed our mind and thought it would be better to ask Speaker Long to come over.”
Yeah right!
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help cursing them out inside.
Who abandons the VIP they invite at the airport?
Not to mention that there were no guards of honor…
In the end, didn’t they have to depend on their own country’s special plane to send them off, and their own fighter planes as an escort?
All these grievances were taking a toll on Gu Nianzhi inside, and her face grew dark.
“Hehe, if you really paid more attention to us, your Prime Minister wouldn’t be greeting the Prime Minister of Japan instead.”
Gu Nianzhi said this right in front of them.
Speaker Long smiled and said, “Don’t be angry. Since Prime Minister Dimo is busy, it doesn’t matter. We don’t have to see him. What’s next on the schedule?”
Did this mean they were canceling the highest meeting between the two heads of state?!
The vice president of India felt that he could no longer persuade him, so out of desperation, he had to call their prime minister to get him to come back to New Delhi…
But the Prime Minister Dimo, known as the Light of India, turned a deaf ear and continued to host the Japanese Prime Minister Beisan in his hometown, Gujarat.
The Vice President of India had no choice but to discuss with Gu Nianzhi. “Can you postpone the meeting with the Prime Minister? It can also be the finale…”
Gu Nianzhi remembered Speaker Long’s words, so she smiled and waved her hand as she said, “No more trouble, no more trouble. Just let your prime minister and the Japanese prime minister have a friendly and affectionate relationship, and don’t worry about us. After all, it is the Parliament who invited Speaker Long, not the prime minister. ”
“Hahahaha, thank you for that.” After the vice president chuckled somewhat, he ran out to make the phone call personally.
When Prime Minister Dimo heard that the Huaxia Empire was actually going to cancel the meeting with him, he said with a resolute expression on his face, “Don’t be fooled by them. They are just trying to make themselves seem more important. India is on par with them, so why should we be afraid of them? Don’t pay attention to them. When my work is finished, I will return to New Delhi and talk to them.”
“Okay, Prime Minister.” The vice president looked at his phone and knew that there was no other way.
On their first day in India, Gu Nianzhi followed Speaker Long from the airport to the Federal Parliament and had a full day of meetings with members of the Parliament.
When they returned to the five-star hotel where they stayed, Gu Nianzhi was on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion.
However, she couldn’t sleep for the time being. She had to familiarize herself with the information because she had to visit the public hospital there with Speaker Long tomorrow.
…
In the Huaxia Embassy, Special Assistant Yang was giving Rong Mingxing instructions. “Xiao Rong, can you really bear to watch Gu Nianzhi sitting in the parliament with her career going up like a rocket?”
Rong Mingxing chuckled. “So what? Since she has the capabilities, I am willing to admit defeat.”
“Admit defeat? Haha…” Special Assistant Yang chuckled. “I don’t know the meaning of admitting defeat.”
“Huh? What else can I do besides admit defeat?” Rong Mingxing’s eyes widened. “Should I kill her instead?”
“Of course you don’t need to kill her, but don’t you want her to wish she were dead?” Special Assistant Yang’s voice was very airy, but the expression on his face was determined.
Rong Mingxing hesitated for a while. “Uh, why do we have to do that? We gave her trouble before, but now it’s all over, and she’s willing to let bygones be bygones, so let’s just… forget it…”
She really didn’t want to deal with Gu Nianzhi, because it always made her feel like she was making a fool out of herself.
Special Assistant Yang tugged the corners of his mouth, and immediately changed his wording. “Actually, I was just kidding. After all, if we both end up in ruin at the same time because of her, I would feel resentful…”
