69: Chapter 69: He's become the Minister of Foreign Affairs?

"Mr. Blighde, we would like to ask, what are your thoughts on bringing affordable, high-quality oil to our Dragon Country this time?"

Su Xueer quickly walked over.

She approached a rather handsome foreign man and asked with a slightly nervous tone.

At this moment, Blighde was not paying attention to Su Xueer.

Instead, he fixed his gaze on the young man and woman in front of him.

Hearing the voice coming from beside him, he apologized:

"I'm sorry, Miss. I have important matters to attend to. Please come back later for the interview."

Not only Su Xueer, but even the international media and the top headline program hosts from the country who arrived with her were directly rejected.

This action caused Su Xueer to freeze on the spot for a moment, feeling a little awkward.

However, upon seeing that everyone else was in the same situation, she didn't feel quite so awkward anymore.

The audience in the live stream room expressed their indignation for Su Xueer.

"Isn't this guy being too arrogant? Forget Xueer, he didn't even spare a glance for a host like the one from Headline."

"Exactly, he probably thinks he's being high and mighty because he brought us convenience, right?"

"But he really has the capital for it. If just selling smiles could bring benefits, heavens, I don't even know how cheerful I am."

"The person upstairs is exaggerating. We are, after all, people of Dragon Country; we can't lose the backbone of our nation! But as for selling smiles, I think I could manage that!"

"Upstairs put it perfectly!"

"..."

The live stream room was abuzz with discussion, but at this moment, they were still somewhat curious as to why Blighde refused to answer their questions.

Perhaps he was going to meet the Minister of Foreign Affairs?

That made sense. At his level, only someone of that stature would be qualified to speak with him.

As the camera shifted, everyone was suddenly stunned!

Holy cow!?

Su Xueer had dropped her microphone onto the floor and didn't even notice.

"That person... is Lin Heng!?"

"How did I not see that?"

"Nonsense, he just arrived! Can't you even tell that?"

"Damn, when did Lin Heng get so awesome? Isn't he just a University Student? How can he stand alongside an international trade giant? Looking at how respectful the other party is, Lin Heng's status is clearly not ordinary..."

"Is Lin Heng just an ordinary University Student? Don't you remember the time he went to Africa to fight Warlords?"

"..."

Everyone felt deeply shocked.

Just a moment ago, Blighde had refused the interviews from the media and strode forward precisely to get to Lin Heng's side as quickly as possible.

Even the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had already been waiting on site, was left standing aside.

Watching Blighde excitedly shake Lin Heng's hand, the corner of the Minister's mouth twitched slightly.

The expression management he had carefully prepared in his heart almost failed him.

Damn it... Should I just let you be the Minister of Foreign Affairs?

However, he quickly led his people over.

I want to see who that man is!

Meanwhile.

This rather handsome foreign man became visibly excited in front of Lin Heng.

"Mr. Lin, this time we owe you a great debt of gratitude for helping us defeat the Pretty Country's army in the Red Sea, preventing them from short-selling us on behalf of those Jews on Wall Street..."

"Our Saudi will certainly remember your immense kindness. Rest assured, not just this time, but in all future cooperation with Dragon Country, we will absolutely ensure that your Dragon Country reaps the greatest benefits!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had just been about to question the situation, froze right where he stood!

Holy cow!?

Lin Heng?

Helped Saudi fight a war?

And drove away the American military?

This, this, this...

If these words hadn't come from Blighde's mouth, the Minister of Foreign Affairs would never have believed them.

He looked again at the young man before him; he looked to be only in his early twenties.

Young!

Far too young.

So young that he still thought the other party was a student.

Lin Heng smiled slightly, "Upholding world peace, peaceful development, and moving forward together... this has always been the national policy of our Dragon Country. The Pretty Country attempting to act against universal justice by short-selling oil is making an enemy of everyone. Naturally, we would not allow them to do so."

As these words left his mouth, the Minister of Foreign Affairs nearly stumbled.

It was fine if the State Chairman said this, but hearing it come from such a young man as Lin Heng gave people an indescribable feeling.

Shouldn't you be the diplomat?

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin is as admirable as ever!"

"..."

Blighde laughed heartily and chatted happily with Lin Heng.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, standing nearby with his entourage, was simply left standing there, seemingly unable to integrate into their conversation.

It was the first time the Minister of Foreign Affairs had been ignored like this.

And it was happening in front of so many media outlets.

Even the media personnel were momentarily stunned before some quickly reacted and immediately began drafting articles.

The rest also started editing their reports.

Good heavens!

That scene...

The Minister of Foreign Affairs was about to lose his composure.

The audience in the live stream room also finally reacted, and the bullet comments flew across the screen.

"Holy crap, what is going on? When did Lin Heng become the nation's Minister of Foreign Affairs?"

"Who knows about this?"

"Are you blind? The actual Minister of Foreign Affairs is standing right next to him!"

"Whoa, it's true. If it were me, I'd probably be so embarrassed I could dig out a three-bedroom apartment."

"Heavens, for a moment I couldn't even tell who the real Minister of Foreign Affairs was."

"Look at the media over there; they are truly going crazy. They are still writing articles right now. The headlines on my phone are already showing news from the scene."

"Whoa! Mine too!"

"..."

Su Xueer looked at the message popping up on her phone and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

She glanced over at Lin Heng.

He was currently chatting happily with Blighde.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs beside him had a darkened expression.

Fortunately, Lin Heng soon concluded the conversation.

"I will personally explain things to the Saudi Prince. This is public time now; I shouldn't delay you all. I presume the Minister of Foreign Affairs has been waiting impatiently, right?"

"Ah, ha ha... No rush, no rush. We have plenty of time. You two continue."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs quickly managed a laugh upon hearing this and said casually.

But inwardly, he was on the verge of tears.

It was a good thing Lin Heng was willing to end the topic. Otherwise, if the situation continued to escalate, it might be difficult for them to manage the fallout.

He would make those headline-grabbing, sensationalist writers suffer later!

"Mr. Lin, you have made a tremendous contribution to Saudi this time. Why don't you come with us?"

Suddenly, Blighde suggested.
