Chapter 2204: The Small Meeting Before the Main Conference
Queen Nancy asked instinctively, "Is the pregnant woman planning to go home next?"
The pregnant woman shook her head and said excitedly, "I finally got out of the house once in a while."
Of course, we should eat our fill before going back.
Otherwise, once we get back, they won't let me eat this or that.
"So what are you planning to eat?" Queen Nancy asked curiously.
"Hot pot! Ice cream! Stinky tofu..." The pregnant woman listed her favorite foods one by one.
Queen Nancy couldn't help but swallow hard.
Seeing the other person swallow.
The pregnant woman, holding Queen Nancy's hand with shining eyes, said, "Would you like to come with me to eat something delicious?"
I managed to snag tickets to Long Kee Hot Pot!
These tickets are very hard to get.
Tickets sold out the moment they were released each day.
Queen Nancy thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."
I hadn't decided what to eat for lunch either.
But let's make this clear first.
There are more people here.
"It's my treat."
He wanted to say something to the pregnant woman.
Queen Nancy said, "We used your spot, didn't we?"
This is just right.
Seeing that Queen Nancy had said this, the pregnant woman did not say anything more.
For the rest of the journey, the two held hands like best friends.
Then the subway arrived at the station.
Three bodyguards and an ambassador followed behind Queen Nancy.
Queen Nancy took the pregnant woman's wrist, and the two chatted as they walked out of the subway station.
The bodyguards looked somewhat anxious.
This sudden change in schedule greatly increased their sense of crisis.
They were completely unprepared, not knowing where they were going.
"Alright, we'll just follow along."
"This is the capital city of the Dragon King Kingdom; there aren't that many dangers here." The ambassador, now completely indifferent, whispered to his three bodyguards.
The three bodyguards exchanged a glance, their expressions turning helpless.
This was also a decision made by Queen Nancy, and they could not change it.
You can only do what you are capable of within your own capabilities.
After exiting the subway station.
Queen Nancy saw herself surrounded by skyscrapers.
The surrounding roads were bustling with traffic.
There was a huge crowd gathered around, and a large electronic display screen was showing advertisements for various products.
"This is the most prosperous crossroads in our Dragon King Kingdom's capital city."
There were so many people.
Don't be afraid, stay close to me.
"The Longji Hot Pot restaurant we're going to is in that building." The pregnant woman affectionately pulled Nancy Queen along.
There were many people along the way.
But perhaps because of the pregnant woman, people around her would intentionally avoid her.
On the contrary, it didn't feel crowded.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Longji Hot Pot.
There's already a long queue here.
"We have fifteen minutes left."
Please wait a moment.
You can first see what you want to eat later.
I highly recommend these dishes; I used to love them! The pregnant woman and Queen Nancy sat in chairs, waiting for their numbers to be called.
The pregnant woman's number was called quickly.
But when they saw Queen Nancy and her entourage...
The receptionist said helplessly, "I'm sorry, you got the number."
It has four seats.
Your group is a bit too large; there isn't enough room.
Queen Nancy looked at her group of six.
It's impossible for him to sit in a four-seater seat.
The two male bodyguards exchanged a glance, preparing to say they could wait outside.
At this time.
The ambassador handed over his business card with a smile.
"I already contacted them on the way here."
I booked a private room.
Could you please check this for me?
The receptionist glanced at the business card and then began to search.
"Indeed, we have the private room you reserved."
"Please follow me." The receptionist said with a smile.
Queen Nancy and the others looked at the ambassador with some surprise.
The ambassador smiled and said, "I had already thought about the lack of seating when I came here."
I used the subway phone to contact someone I knew.
I asked someone to help me reserve a seat.
The three bodyguards gave the ambassador a thumbs-up.
As expected of someone capable of being an ambassador, he is very thoughtful in this matter and even considered it in advance.
They were quickly led to a private room.
This private room can comfortably seat not only six people, but even ten.
Queen Nancy frowned slightly, though she had no complaints about the arrangement.
But she was worried that this arrangement would scare her new friends.
"Wow!
It turned out to be a private room at Longji Hot Pot.
Tickets here are very hard to get.
I heard there are only five tickets available each day!
I never imagined your identity would be so useful.
I can't believe I managed to snag a reserved private room!
"I've hit the jackpot today!" The pregnant woman didn't seem to mind at all, excitedly grabbing Queen Nancy's wrist.
Seeing this, Queen Nancy breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's just to make it easier for us to have a meal."
If you hadn't introduced me to this place, I wouldn't be here today.
It's all because of you that I have such a wonderful meal.
alright.
You can decide what to order.
I can't order it either.
"Our meal depends on you."
Queen Nancy handed the menu directly to the pregnant woman.
The pregnant woman didn't stand on ceremony.
There are six of us.
Then this one, this one.
And this too.
And this one too...
The pregnant woman ordered various dishes from the menu.
Then present it to Queen Nancy and ask if she has anything else she would like.
Queen Nancy glanced at the menu.
She noticed that the pregnant woman didn't go out of her way or order anything particularly expensive just because she was paying for the meal.
Instead, they ordered exactly the amount for the six of them, no more and no less.
Even if it's not enough, you can add one or two more.
Moreover, the dishes she ordered were mostly signature dishes, and most of them were ones she had mentioned before.
Some items were very expensive, but not many people ordered them, so she didn't specifically order them.
Next comes the waiting process for the food.
Queen Nancy could see the street scene outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
It's noon now.
Today is another workday.
But there were quite a few people on the streets.
It was very lively.
The atmosphere in this city is really great.
Next, the hot pot was served.
Because it was a large private room, each person had their own separate hot pot, so everyone ate their own.
The ordered food is placed on a rotating tray in the middle.
"The private room is indeed very large."
"But it doesn't have that hot pot flavor that's served in the middle." The pregnant woman whispered to Queen Nancy.
"Next time, I'll eat with you."
"Just the two of us," Queen Nancy said with a grin.
The pregnant woman's eyes lit up: "Great! Then it'll just be the two of us."
We went to another beef hot pot restaurant. The beef there was especially delicious, and I heard they even had their own cattle farm.
These aren't the kind of cattle raised in enclosures; they're cattle that roam freely on the grasslands. The beef there tastes absolutely amazing!
Lunch was over quickly.
The pregnant woman clutched her stomach and let out a burp.
"I really enjoyed the meal."
This is the most enjoyable meal I've had in the past few days.
Normally, I would probably take a walk to digest my food.
But I really can't walk anymore today.
"I'm taking the subway home in a bit." The pregnant woman leaned back in her chair, looking like she had just finished enjoying herself.
Queen Nancy nodded.
She and the pregnant woman exchanged contact information.
However, she gave the pregnant woman the contact information for the Nancy Empire's embassy, but she also specifically emphasized this to the ambassador.
If this pregnant woman contacts you, you should inform her immediately.
She truly considered this pregnant woman as her friend.
I left the private room and walked to the roadside.
Just as the pregnant woman was about to go to the subway station.
Queen Nancy stopped him.
"I've arranged for a car."
Let me take you home.
"I'm worried about you squeezing onto the subway like this," Queen Nancy said.
A bodyguard watched as the Nancy Empire embassy's car pulled up in front of them.
"Hehehe, then I won't be polite."
"Thank you, Sister Xixi." The pregnant woman held Queen Nancy's hand.
She didn't know that the person in front of her was Queen Nancy; she only knew that the woman called herself Xi Xi.
I was riding in the embassy's car.
The pregnant woman was taken to a residential area called Xingfuli.
Then he secretly had his bodyguards escort her into the residential area and watch her return home.
"Your Majesty, the lady has arrived home safely," the bodyguard said from outside the car window.
"Okay, I understand," Queen Nancy said, glancing at the neighborhood in front of her.
"Let's go back."
The car was driving on the roads of the capital city of the Dragon King.
Queen Nancy looked out the car window at the street scene.
So this intersection isn't as bustling as it used to be, but there are still occasional vehicles on the road.
Especially buses.
She found that the city's public transportation system was very well-developed, and the bus stops were also well-built, providing shelter from the wind and rain, as well as seating.
The buses are clean and spacious, and each one looks brand new.
On the bus, you can see children going to and from school, elderly people going out to shop, buy groceries, or visit parks, as well as some young people busy with work.
Everyone has their own things to do.
It looks very busy, and you can hear some people complaining.
Complaining about too much homework, and complaining about not being able to get fresh eggs today.
Complaining that I have to work overtime again tonight.
However, everyone still had that energetic feeling in their faces and eyes.
Soon, the vehicle entered a very quiet area.
The area is shaded by green trees, and the surrounding buildings each have their own unique characteristics.
"This is the embassy district of the Kingdom of Xiaolong. Almost every country has set up an embassy here," the ambassador explained from the side.
Because it's an embassy district, there are basically not many people.
The few people were either embassy staff or young couples taking photos.
It seemed very quiet.
The vehicle stopped in front of the Nancy Empire Embassy.
The gate opened, and dozens of people could be seen waiting there.
The Nancy Empire is now the largest country in the Southern Continent and one of the ten seats in the Upper House of the Dragon Star Alliance.
Its natural status is much higher than that of other countries.
There are also many high-ranking people doing business and cooperating in the Kingdom of Xiaolong.
Upon Queen Nancy's visit, those in the capital city of the Dragon King naturally canceled all their other plans and waited for her.
They were originally supposed to have another lunch opportunity.
But to everyone's surprise, Queen Nancy suddenly canceled lunch, leaving everyone to continue waiting.
Fortunately, Queen Nancy finally arrived.
Queen Nancy stepped out of the car, her face displaying the majesty befitting a queen.
His expression was completely different from when he was on the subway and in the hot pot restaurant.
The ambassador walked beside Queen Nancy, introducing these people to her.
After chatting for a while, an afternoon had passed.
The evening was a banquet for meetings with ambassadors or leaders from several other countries.
The food at the banquet was plentiful, but Queen Nancy had no appetite.
Looking at those expensive foods, she felt they weren't as tempting as the hot pot dishes she had at lunchtime.
All matters have been settled.
It was already late at night.
The female bodyguard walked to Queen Nancy's room.
She held a small booklet in her hand: "Over the next three days, you will visit several important companies and factories in the Kingdom of the Wraiths and meet with some people."
The Dragon Star Alliance Joint Conference will be held in three days.
You will need to give a speech at that time, and I have already prepared a speech for you. Please take a look.
"Hmm." Queen Nancy took the speech and read it through, pointing out several places that needed to be revised.
For the next three days, she preferred strolling through the streets and alleys of the Dragon Kingdom to attending meetings.
Even if it's just sitting in a car.
Admiring this incredible city.
And the day before the joint meeting was held.
An invitation appeared before Queen Nancy.
It comes from the King of the Falcon.
Tonight, I will host a banquet for her and nine others at the royal palace in the capital city of the Dragon King.
The other eight are the other eight national representatives in the Senate.
Two seats for the Northern Continent, two seats for the Western Continent, °• N o v e l i g h t •° two seats for the Southern Continent, two seats for the Eastern Continent, and one seat for the Central Sea Islands.
After the Kingdom of the Dragon defeated the Navy of the Doyle Empire, the Middle Sea Islands were established.
With the support of the Dragon Kingdom.
An archipelago nation was established here, although its military strength was not very strong.
However, the fishing, tourism, and transportation industries are all doing very well.
Especially long-distance maritime shipping.
The Dragon Kingdom has invested in and built several large ports here, allowing passing ships to rest.
Queen Nancy knew as soon as she received the invitation.
Compared to the General Assembly.
The smaller meetings held before this major conference are the truly important ones.
Many important matters will be discussed and resolved at this small meeting.
The actual issues to be discussed at the conference were not important.
That night.
Queen Nancy attended the event in full regalia.
She saw the other eight representatives.
At the entrance to the banquet hall, they also saw the Dragon King, who was there to greet them.
"Welcome." Zhao Chen smiled and shook hands with each of the guests before inviting them into the banquet hall.
The moment the banquet hall doors closed.
No one knows what was discussed in the banquet hall that night.
This is top secret.
Some later generations speculated that the Dragon Kingdom was demanding some benefits.
Some people say it's related to Longxing's future development plans.
In short, after the banquet that night.
The Dragon Star Alliance joint meeting, which began on the second day, went very smoothly.
The vast majority of government orders were passed.
Zhao Chen saw the nine guests off.
He held a wine glass in his hand, standing under the starry sky, but he did not leave his feet for a long time.
