Chapter 982 Do you mean it’s better to unblock than to block?
"Ambassador Tan, do you have anything to say about the significance of the Duke of Winton's visit to China on behalf of the John Bull Kingdom? Can you tell me your opinion?"
The reporter from Gaul News Agency raised the microphone and started asking questions.
Even though he was blocked, Tan Qianli smiled gracefully and prepared to answer under the escort of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff.
"Ambassador Tan, I heard that you were entertained by the Duke of Winton many times when you were in Great Britain. Is his visit to China this time related to your close personal relationship? Have you used his connections to persuade Mrs. Sa to authorize him to represent the United States in the talks this time?"
But before he could open his mouth, Reuters asked a very tricky question full of traps in a threatening manner.
These words made many officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs frown, but as a big country, they did not need to get angry because of these reporters at such a diplomatic event. They tried their best to maintain order in the venue, adjusted the direction as much as possible, and tacitly guided Mr. Tan to the back area, preparing to leave.
"Ambassador Tan, I heard that during this three-day closed-door meeting, the Dragon Kingdom will discuss an important matter with the United States. What is it? What impact will it have on the international situation? Can you tell us briefly?"
But two people suddenly appeared from nowhere and blocked the way of Mr. Tan and his group, causing the staff who were protecting Tan Qianli to be immediately blocked.
When the rest of the media saw this, they quickly gathered around and started asking the same questions again.
Hearing these people's slightly broken Chinese, Li Xiangnan recognized that the last group of people were from Japan.
Although the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had prepared a special filming area for these foreign media friends and maintained basic respect and courtesy towards them, these media actually crossed the cordon, did not heed the dissuasion of our staff at all, and insisted on surrounding Mr. Tan.
We remained restrained and polite to them, but we did not get the respect we deserved in return.
"It's over, it's over, Mr. Tan has been blocked!"
Jian Jingzhe, who had just sent Duke Winton and his party upstairs through the side door, came back and saw this scene. He immediately frowned.
"It's a bit too much!" Song Yi said dissatisfiedly, clenching his fists.
"That's too much, too much!" Wang Defa pouted at a dwarf in the media crowd and whispered, "Xiao Li, that Neon guy is deliberately ruining our business, isn't he?"
"Fatty, take a look at the situation first! Be prepared to intervene at any time!" Li Xiangnan looked at his watch, and this short minute passed just like that.
"No, there won't be enough time if we keep going like this!" Jian Jingzhe raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
Li Xiangnan hurriedly stopped her and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"It's too late. Let's just take Mr. Tan away... I would rather let someone frame me and be disrespectful than let Mr. Tan's illness be exposed in front of the media!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious! Let me think of a solution!" Li Xiangnan shook his head at her.
This is a last resort.
On the other side, many domestic friends also stopped Hong Kaixuan and Song Yingxin and were interviewing them.
Li Xiangnan withdrew his gaze and looked at his watch. There were still three minutes left.
He looked around, thinking that he would intervene in two minutes and could not let Mr. Tan be blocked.
In that case, he would not be able to reach the small room in the reception room within three minutes and would not be able to receive treatment. With so many foreign media here, if they were to take pictures of Mr. Tan's condition, it would definitely have a huge impact on the subsequent talks!
We must find an appropriate time so as not to cause a lack of social etiquette in our country and at the same time help Mr. Tan to retreat as soon as possible.
At this moment, Li Xiangnan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw his old friend who was squeezing in the back and holding a microphone to film the on-site report with the team.
Comrade Xu Jiaxin!
"Counselor Jian!" Li Xiangnan immediately whispered a few words in her ear and then ran away quickly.
"Xiao Xu! Oh, what a coincidence!" Li Xiangnan hurried over and asked in surprise: "How did you become a live reporter? Such an important occasion, eh, CCTV? You joined CCTV? Congratulations!"
"Li Xiangnan?" Xu Jiaxin had just finished recording live and was sorting out her microphone line. When she heard the familiar voice and saw it was him, she was completely stunned. She stood up from the ground in astonishment and said, "I was transferred over there... Why are you here?"
Li Xiangnan smiled at the cameraman, suddenly pulled her aside, and whispered, "Can you do me a favor?"
"Doctor Li, what are you talking about? I'm sure..."
"Thank you!" Li Xiangnan picked up the interview bag on the ground and left.
“???” Xu Jiaxin and the cameraman looked at each other, both of them stunned.
Then she heard Li Xiangnan run behind the group of foreign friends and shout, "Excuse me, whose interview bag is this? There are important films in it. Which media friend does it belong to?"
In just a dozen seconds, the media who had originally blocked Tan Qianli were still scrambling to ask the questions they had prepared long ago. However, when they heard that the interview bag containing the important film was lost, they all turned their heads nervously to look at Li Xiangnan.
Tan Qianli's front was suddenly empty. He looked again and it was Li Xiangnan. He immediately understood what was going on and quietly stepped back two steps.
Jian Jingzhe immediately stepped in front of him and waved his hand behind him.
"Sorry, sorry, it's mine, thank you so much!" Xu Jiaxin hurried over and pointed at the bag in Li Xiangnan's hand, "Can you give it back to me?"
"Oh, be careful next time and don't leave it everywhere! It will be hard to find if you lose it!" Li Xiangnan smiled and handed it directly to Xu Jiaxin.
Many foreign media breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.
Then he was slightly stunned.
"Dear media friends, Ambassador Tan will soon accompany Duke Winton to visit the scenic area, and there will be a meeting in the afternoon! At 7 pm, there will be a media meeting, and the relevant participants will share information with everyone! Looking forward to your arrival!"
Jian Jingzhe was very skilled and greeted the numerous media with a smile.
Tan Qianli was standing not far behind her. He clasped his hands together as if apologizing, then was led into the reception room suite by his secretary.
"Ambassador Tan, Ambassador Tan, oh, what a pity..."
Many media outlets expressed regret, but since Tan Qianli was gone, the interview could only be conducted in the evening.
"Oh, the highlight is in the evening, I have to hurry up and prepare for the questions in the evening!" Xu Jiaxin said loudly to her photographer at the back.
After hearing her words, the eyes of several reporters from important foreign media outlets lit up, and they huddled together with their teams to discuss locations for interviews in the evening.
Xu Jiaxin then threw the interview bag to her companion and walked out of the reception hall. Seeing Li Xiangnan waiting at the door with a smile on his face, she glared at him and said angrily, "Can you discuss it with me first next time? Fortunately, we have some tacit understanding, otherwise I don't know what you are going to do..."
"Thank you!" Li Xiangnan clasped his fists, "I owe you a favor!"
After saying this, he smiled slightly and turned to leave.
"Hey, Li Xiangnan, you haven't told me why you are here..."
Hearing Xu Jiaxin's question from behind, Li Xiangnan stopped and turned around and said with a smile: "Comrade Jiaxin, you are indeed a natural journalist. You remind me of an old friend!"
"who is it?"
"Look at you, you really look alike!"
Li Xiangnan smiled, waved his hand, and walked into the reception room.
"This guy seems to be quite familiar with this place! But why is he here?" Xu Jiaxin was puzzled. She lowered her head and thought for a long time. She turned her head to look at the door. Suddenly, she saw a fat head shrinking in. She glared and rubbed her eyes fiercely. "Why do I see that poisonous fat guy? No way? He is here too? Or am I seeing things?"
Inside the reception room.
"Hahaha!"
Wang Defa blocked the door with his back and said with great joy, "I didn't expect that I could escape danger again thanks to reporter Xu!"
Lying on the bed made of three benches, Tan Qianli smiled helplessly, "If it's one minute later, I will really make a fool of myself in front of the world!"
Li Xiangnan was not very happy. He was holding the information about Duke Winton collected by Jin Xicun in his hand. He said solemnly, "Mr. Tan, Winton likes fishing so much and has gone fishing with you several times. What if he invites you to go fishing during the two hours of rest during the visit?"
Tan Qianli closed his eyes and said solemnly, "Whether it's fishing or sightseeing, you have to accompany him! What I'm worried about now is that if I leave with an excuse, it's okay once, but after two or three times, will Winton get suspicious?"
"Mr. Tan," Li Xiangnan put down the information about Duke Winton, closed his eyes, and then opened them again, saying, "When Li Bing and his son were dealing with the flood at Dujiangyan, they had a strategy. I think if things become a last resort, can we use that strategy?"
Tan Qianli was shocked, with a look of great surprise in his eyes, and said, "You mean...it's better to open up than to block?"
