When Li Songping's vehicle drove into Heroes' Square, the square was already crowded with people.
The citizens of Annan, the media from all over the world, and the heavily armed guards at the scene...
There are figures with different expressions everywhere.
Everyone was crowded together, and the whole place was noisy.
Li Songping rubbed his forehead and felt a splitting headache.
Heroes' Square is one of the landmark buildings in the capital. The square is large, has a broad view, and has extraordinary historical significance. It is usually the place where the ice parade is held in Annan.
But today, this glorious place is about to bear the greatest humiliation in Annan's history.
And it's still in full view of the public.
Although Li Songping was mentally prepared, when he actually arrived at the scene and looked at the crowd around him, he still felt huge shame, accompanied by even greater hatred and helplessness.
"Zhongzhou has gone too far to bully others!"
Ruan Chenglin, the Minister of Communication sitting next to Li Songping, gritted his teeth and looked angry. His face was gray, his hair was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious and twisted. He looked like an incompetent and furious defeated dog.
The venue for the signing ceremony was chosen by Zhongzhou.
Nakasu did not choose the office building that had been humiliated by Thor countless times, but instead set the signing location at Heroes Square.
This is completely determined to leave a mark of Central Continent in this place that holds countless honors.
Moreover, Zhongzhou also made a clear request, hoping that Annan would arrange for the world's media to conduct a live broadcast, and hoped that this friendly signing could be completed under the witness of Annan people.
Heroes' Square is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
In such an environment, signing the contract in full public view, Li Songping was nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
"What else are they dissatisfied with? Ah? What else are they dissatisfied with? They can't see our sincerity! They can't fucking see it.
They're still humiliating us, assholes, all of us assholes!"
Ruan Chenglin cursed loudly and was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
There is no need to say much about his friendship with Li Songping, nor about his feelings for Annan. Let's just talk about reality. As much humiliation as Li Songping endured today, Ruan Chenglin, as the Minister of Communications, is destined to endure much humiliation.
This alone was enough to completely break his defense.
"This is the loser's price."
Li Songping's voice was low and weak, his eyes were cloudy, with a clearly visible twilight: "It is naturally impossible for us to understand the other party's behavior, but from the perspective of Zhongzhou, this is the most reasonable thing to do.
, if..."
He shook his head and did not continue.
If they had succeeded in killing Li Tianlan during the siege that night, then Li Songping would have appeared openly and openly in Tiannan, which they had long been unable to control, and announced Tiannan to the world in a high-profile manner.
Even if Zhongzhou is still strong without Li Tianlan, if Li Tianlan falls, it means that Annan, the Wang family in Beihai, Kunlun City, and Jiang Shangyu will all be temporarily bound together. In a short period of time, they will not have to fear at all.
As long as there is time, everything about Zhongzhou's revenge will be easy to explain.
success and failure.
Two completely different results.
Li Songping was a little self-deprecating.
If it succeeds, Annan can celebrate Tiannan's return with joy.
Now that they have failed, Zhongzhou is warmly welcoming Tiannan to join.
"calm down."
Li Songping glanced at Ruan Chenglin, who was trembling all over: "The facts are already like this. No matter how unwilling you are, it's useless."
Ruan Chenglin's face was still ugly, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"What are the specific arrangements?"
Li Songping continued to ask.
Ruan Chenglin was silent for a while and then said in a low voice: "It's almost done."
"There must be no accidents on site."
Li Songping said softly: "Annan is passionate, but with passion, sometimes not only will things not happen, but bad things will happen.
The scene must be tightly controlled and no accidents are allowed to happen.”
He pursed his lips and said hoarsely: "After all, any small accident today may become a knife that cuts Annan's body tomorrow."
Ruan Chenglin nodded: "I will keep an eye on it at any time."
Annan sold a large area of the northern border, and it was also the area where the richest resources were concentrated, to Central Continent.
This matter is no longer a secret.
Zhongzhou and Annan started their propaganda almost simultaneously, and then caused a storm around the world.
So far, this matter may not be known to everyone in the world, but at least the vast majority of people in Annan and Central Continent already know the news.
This is an honor for Zhongzhou, but a shame for Annan.
The signing ceremony was held in Annan, and there were a large number of Annan people in the Heroes' Square at this time. No one was sure that with so many people, someone would be hot-headed and do something irrational to the guests from Central Continent.
.
Even if these things happen, they won't hurt the visitors from Central Continent, but it's always good to vent, and this is human nature.
But this kind of human nature will only become a bargaining chip for the lions of Central Continent to open their mouths at the negotiation table.
But now Annan really can't give much anymore.
Li Songping looked down at his watch and murmured: "There's about an hour left."
An hour later, the plane from Youzhou will land in this city.
Li Tianlan will leave his name here and completely kill Annan's future in the next few decades.
Ruan Chenglin bit his lip and whispered: "The welcome ceremony has been prepared. In ten minutes, the entire city will enter a state of temporary control to ensure that their vehicles can enter Heroes Square unimpeded."
Li Songping nodded.
The vehicle drove slowly on Heroes' Square and finally stopped in the center of the square.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Li Songping suddenly felt that the noise around the square seemed to be much quieter.
It was like there were countless eyes, countless gazes coming from all directions, looking at my car.
The corner of Li Songping's mouth twitched. He originally wanted to get out of the car and let go of the door handle, his face turned red: "Drive forward..."
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Find a place with few people."
...
"Tianlan and the others are probably arriving soon."
Zhongzhou.
Hidden Dragon Sea.
Li Huacheng put down the teacup in his hand, looked at his watch, and said with a smile.
"Why does the Speaker trust Li Tianlan so much?"
Hua Zhengyang, who was sitting opposite Li Huacheng, endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore and asked the doubts in his heart.
The person who has the most tacit understanding and trust with Li Huacheng is undoubtedly Ma Si.
But strictly speaking, the person who has been with Li Huacheng the longest is Hua Zhengyang.
Hua Zhengyang has never been Li Huacheng's secretary.
But his growth trajectory is almost exactly the same as that of Li Huacheng.
When Li Huacheng was the deputy governor, Hua Zhengyang was the city speaker.
Li Huacheng became the governor, and Hua Zhengyang took over as his deputy governor.
Li Huacheng became the speaker and Hua Zhengyang became the governor.
Until Li Huacheng came to Youzhou, entered the parliament and became a director.
Almost every time Hua Zhengyang was promoted, he took over Li Huacheng's position.
If such a person did not gain Li Huacheng's complete trust, it would be impossible.
Hua Zhengyang believed that he could clearly see Li Huacheng's thoughts most of the time.
But Hua Zhengyang just couldn't understand Li Tianlan.
If he remembered correctly, some time ago, Li Huacheng was obviously a little afraid of Li Tianlan, or worried, or something else. In short, he would not trust him 100% like he does now.
But since the Beihai Wang family formed an alliance to besiege Li Tianlan, Li Huacheng's attitude towards Li Tianlan and Donghuang Palace suddenly changed.
How good is he to Li Tianlan now?
When it came to killing Kuangtu Li, Li Huacheng calmly helped Guo Wentian to deal with the threat.
There may be some factors in this that Dongcheng is invincible, but at that meeting, if Li Huacheng's attitude was to support Guo Wentian, things would never be like this.
The establishment of Tiannan, such a great honor, Li Huacheng didn't say anything and directly let Li Tianlan lead the team.
what does that mean?
Don't think this is just a simple appearance.
In fact, every member of the entire council, except Li Huacheng, wanted to go.
This signing ceremony is truly a major event that can leave its name in history. Regardless of whether it is a hundred or even a thousand years in the future, as long as Tiannan is still there, the person who presided over this signing ceremony will always be remembered.
Hua Zhengyang himself wanted to receive this kind of honor and this kind of credit.
At present, he is almost at an absolute disadvantage in the competition with Wen Siyuan, and he has no temper at all. Even if this signing ceremony does not consider the issue of being famous in history, as long as he can attend such an occasion and it works well, Hua Zhengyang will also
There is a glimmer of hope to turn defeat into victory.
But it is a pity that Li Huacheng had no choice in the end and gave this opportunity to Li Tianlan.
A name that will remain in history, as everyone knows...
Then what?
What's next?
Li Huacheng is obviously paving the way for Li Tianlan.
He is personally building a hero with a high status, so what will he do next?
"Because he is worth it."
Li Huacheng glanced at Hua Zhengyang and said with a smile: "Tiannan's joining Zhongzhou is originally Tianlan's credit. Even Tiannan's initial appearance was all Dongcheng Wudi's work. This credit cannot be given to Tianlan.
Who else can Lan give it to?"
"Aren't you worried that he will become bigger in the future and be unable to get rid of his big tail?"
Hua Zhengyang smiled bitterly.
"There's nothing to worry about."
Li Huacheng shook his head: "He called me teacher."
Li Tianlan will grow up, and he will also grow old.
But now, he can also check and balance Li Tianlan.
When he can no longer check and balance Li Tianlan, Li Tianlan no longer needs to be checked and balanced at that time.
At that time, he might have thought about how to check and balance others.
"I still can't figure it out."
Hua Zhengyang shook his head.
"Then don't think about it first."
Li Huacheng's smile did not change: "It's still a long time, just watch."
