89: Chapter 89: Who is this young man who takes the phone in front of three ministers?
Everyone was deeply moved.
The country was willing to help its enterprises,
and the enterprises were willing to be loyal to the country.
What a wonderful mutual commitment!
In the midst of this touching scene of unity between leadership and subordinates,
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
Suddenly, an unknown sound echoed.
Zhan Ruijie looked up and glanced around curiously. "What was that noise?"
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
The sound came again.
This time, the three ministers identified the source of the noise.
It turned out to be Bai Jingqing's stomach growling.
Bai Jingqing scratched his head awkwardly.
The three ministers chuckled. "Little Bai,
are you hungry?"
Bai Jingqing nodded. "I just flew back from Barcelona,
and it really has been a long time since I've eaten.
Besides, the food in Barcelona really isn't as good as our Dragon Country's food!
I'm not used to it,
so I didn't eat very well while I was there."
Shi Zhihong nodded. "Alright,
it's just about mealtime.
However, we have rules;
we can't just go out to a hotel to eat.
How about we go to our cafeteria and grab a bite together?"
As if afraid Bai Jingqing would be unhappy about eating at a cafeteria,
Shi Zhihong added, "Little Bai,
let me tell you,
the food in our cafeteria is very abundant!
You'll see once you try it."
Zhan Ruijie chimed in from the side, "That's right.
The chefs we've hired for our cafeteria are all five-star chefs;
their skills are top-notch!
Let's go. I'm hungry too after talking for so long."
The four of them stood up together.
The ministers introduced the cafeteria's signature dishes to Bai Jingqing
as they walked out of the conference room.
As they stepped outside,
they saw a group of people wearing administrative jackets.
They were clearly public officials working here.
They were standing in groups,
talking in twos and threes,
as if discussing something.
However, as soon as they saw the three ministers emerge,
those in administrative jackets immediately stopped their discussions.
One by one, they stood up straight
and looked toward the three ministers.
Everyone nodded in greeting,
paying their respects to the three ministers with their eyes.
The three ministers also returned the gesture,
nodding back at them.
Just as the four of them were about to walk down,
a noisy ringtone suddenly blared out.
"You are my little, little Apple,
I can never love you too much.
Your red smiling face warms my heart,
lighting the fire of my life,
fire, fire, fire, fire, fire!"
...
As soon as this ringtone started,
everyone's brows furrowed instantly.
It was then that the officials in administrative jackets turned their gaze toward Bai Jingqing, who was standing with the three ministers,
because they realized the ringtone was coming from him.
However, this Bai Jingqing was so young
that they couldn't guess his identity.
They wondered what kind of young man could be received by three ministers.
And wasn't this young man being a bit too rude and offensive?
How could he not have his phone on silent in front of three ministers?
The looks everyone gave Bai Jingqing were filled with displeasure,
as if they were all blaming him.
At the same time, some were watching the expressions of the three ministers.
They expected the ministers to be furious,
especially the Minister of Industry and Information Technology, Shi Zhihong.
He was usually the most serious and rigid of them all,
taking everything very seriously,
and he had always had a bit of a temper.
He had once flown into a rage just because someone's phone rang during a meeting.
The crowd waited expectantly for a scene,
but the expected outcome did not occur.
Shi Zhihong still wore a kind smile on his face.
He patted the young man's shoulder
and said calmly, "Little Bai,
you're so young.
How is it that the ringtone you use is exactly the same as the one my wife uses?"
Cheng Huachang, who was nearby, said, "Go ahead and answer it.
It might be something urgent."
When the group in administrative jackets heard the two ministers speaking so kindly to Bai Jingqing,
their eyes widened as they looked at him,
wondering just who this kid was.
Not only had he failed to silence his phone in front of the ministers,
but the ministers were even kindly letting him take the call right in front of them!
This was not at all like the usual style of these ministers!
They all began to speculate about Bai Jingqing's identity.
These people frequently came here for meetings;
even if they didn't know someone personally,
most faces should have been familiar.
But as for the young man before them,
they had no memory of him whatsoever.
While those in administrative jackets were lost in their thoughts,
Bai Jingqing gave an awkward chuckle
and said, "Then I'll take it."
So, he answered the phone.
The delighted voice of a Dragon Country person could be heard on the other end.
After the person spoke for a while,
Bai Jingqing couldn't help but nod repeatedly,
his expression turning very happy.
After ending the call,
the three ministers didn't think much of it.
They just said, "Let's go.
Let's hurry and eat.
If we're any later, the cafeteria might run out of food."
No one asked Bai Jingqing what was said on the phone,
as they assumed it was a matter concerning his company.
Since he managed such a large company,
they couldn't possibly inquire about every little thing.
However, Bai Jingqing said to the three ministers with great joy, "Ministers,
I have some good news to tell you!"
"Oh? What good news?"
The three of them stopped in their tracks,
looking at Bai Jingqing with curious eyes.
Bai Jingqing said, "I just received word.
They said that after the World Mobile Communication Congress ended,
the congress submitted my Bluetooth 5.0 technology to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).
Now, the Bluetooth 5.0 technology has been officially recognized by the Bluetooth SIG!
This means the technical standard for Bluetooth 5.0 will be defined by our company—
by a mobile phone manufacturer from our Dragon Country!"
As soon as this news came out,
the three ministers were also overjoyed.
They became excited instantly. "Wow!
That's fantastic!
I never thought the day would come when our Dragon Country could do this!
To think that a globally recognized technical standard
would one day be established by our Dragon Country!"
"Little Bai,
I have to say, your company is simply incredible!
I hope you keep up the good work
and can create even more technical standards in the world,
so that the whole world comes to learn from our Dragon Country!"
The excited state of the three ministers was witnessed by the group in administrative jackets.
They were even more shocked now.
When Bai Jingqing was speaking to the ministers just now,
his voice was relatively low,
so they couldn't hear what he said at all.
They only saw that after Bai Jingqing said something to the three ministers,
the ministers became extremely excited,
almost to the point of dancing for joy.
They grew even more curious about the identity of this young man,
who could make three leaders act this way with just a single sentence.
However, an even more shocking scene followed.
