Chapter 697: Sorry, I don't like trouble

"I think Councilor Aisi has misunderstood; we in Huaxia have wanted to negotiate with sincerity and transparency from the very first day."

"After all..."

"We in Huaxia are a land of etiquette; toward friendly nations, we in Huaxia always treat them with courtesy."

Each sentence was neither light nor heavy, lacking the blunt threats of the previous two days, yet every word was an accusation.

Who exactly was the one delaying things?

Who was the one not being sincere and transparent?

How could they have the nerve to complain here?

Although all the words were spoken in a roundabout way, the interpreters were still dutiful; they had learned by now not to look up at expressions, but simply to translate the content directly.

Watching An Yinan, who was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, Councilor Aisi felt for the first time that the City negotiations were a thorny matter.

"We will not agree to this plan."

"However, if Huaxia can provide the formula for the Qingnao Pill, we can forgo all of this; our consulate can withdraw directly from the City, and we, Dayingguo, will also withdraw from the administration of the City."

"This is a very good opportunity."

Hmm...

Quite greedy, indeed!

For Eagle Country, a single City is dispensable.

But the Qingnao Pill concerns the safety of people's lives; they want the formula?

What a beautiful dream!

"I think Councilor Aisi has not thought it through clearly yet, so... let us discuss it again tomorrow."

An Yinan was just about to put away her notebook, but...

It was pressed down by Aisi.

"An Yinan, you said it yourself: ask for the sky and bargain on the ground."

Aisi narrowed his eyes, and the look he gave An Yinan was already filled with malice.

Yet, An Yinan looked up frankly, the corners of her mouth curling into a standard arc.

"However..."

"I am sorry, I do not like trouble."

She used her thermos to smash down directly, and Aisi immediately pulled his hand away.

However, the thermos still smashed onto the table.

"Bang!"

The conference table, right before the astonished eyes of everyone, snapped...

That's right...

It snapped...

An Yinan threw the cup directly in Aisi's direction, the arc of her mouth unchanged, "Since Councilor Aisi likes it, I give it to you."

"You're welcome."

She put away her notebook, and without even looking back, she stepped forward to walk out of the conference room.

Just at this moment.

Aisi called out to stop her, "An Yinan, the person negotiating with our Dayingguo can be you, or it can be someone else."

"I think using the City as a threat to change a Captain is not difficult."

That tone already carried a threat.

This was also the path he had considered yesterday.

This An Yinan was truly impervious to reason and had created many obstacles to their arrangements.

If it really didn't work, and they couldn't kill her, then they would replace her.

But...

Aisi never expected that An Yinan would turn back directly and answer with a beaming smile, "Perhaps Councilor Aisi does not know much about my situation."

She turned her whole body, and following her movement, the people behind her turned as well.

"In Huaxia, I am a Doctor."

"Mm, the Qingnao Pill that your country needs..."

She smiled, her eyes like a fox watching a good show, filled with mockery and a hint of playfulness.

"It was refined by me."

"In this world, apart from me, no one knows the formula."

The woman chuckled, then looked straight at Aisi.

She was not short, but in front of Aisi, she was a head shorter.

Yet her aura did not soften by even half a point.

"Are you satisfied with this answer, Councilor Aisi?"

She watched Aisi's face change, then stepped away in her high heels, *clack, clack, clack*...

Aisi looked at the shattered table, then thought of the woman's words just now.

And...

Those thirty-plus Royal Special Forces members who had already been poisoned.

He...

Had miscalculated.

Who could have imagined that someone who stirred up the stock market would appear at a diplomatic negotiation meeting, and as the team leader at that.

However, just when they thought they could hold the handle.

Her words were like a slap, fiercely struck across, and they had even offered their own faces for it.

She is a Doctor.

And the owner of the Qingnao Pill formula.

In this world, apart from her, no one can compound the Qingnao Pill!

Item by item, piece by piece, it was all her...

A chill suddenly rose up Aisi's back; if this was the case, then everything, absolutely everything, was a trap.

It was even a trap laid out long ago, a trap to plunge Eagle Country into chaos.

An Yinan walked out of the Councilor's office, and the gazes everyone cast toward An Yinan had changed significantly.

"I know now." Suddenly Fang Qi spoke up, looking toward An Yinan.

"I felt you looked familiar before, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen Teacher An."

"You are Doctor An, the Life-Saving Bodhisattva, Doctor An, aren't you?" Fang Qi's eyes lit up.

Seeing An Yinan's gaze, she became even more adoring.

So the person she admired was one and the same!

An Yinan looked at her and nodded, "It is me."

It was mainly because, during the time at the Southern Battlefield, she was disheveled, her face covered in grime all day long, and her hair a mess, so it was impossible to see what her real face looked like.

Therefore, not recognizing her was a very normal thing.

"You have even been to the Southern Battlefield?" An Yinan was actually curious; this girl who loved to cry had actually been to the battlefield.

It was a blessing for the Southern Battlefield that it hadn't been flooded by her tears.

Fang Qi smiled embarrassedly, "I was in the City, helping to evacuate personnel."

She had only seen her twice, but at that time, no one could remember what anyone looked like.

It was just that listening to everyone's tone of admiration and watching Doctor An's exhausted figure left a deep impression on her.

An Yinan smiled, "That is also very good; it is already better than many people."

She was never stingy with her praise.

"Let's go, time to go home."

Prepared for two days, chatted for half an hour, and once again headed back.

The phone calls from the country were becoming more and more urgent.

The Aisi of before: red wine, ladies, cigars, and big beds.

The Aisi of now: proposals, hair-pulling, and getting scolded every day.

Anyway, in just five days, if he were to return to Dayingguo again, he reckoned even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Tuesday arrived as scheduled, and the Huaxia team had slowly begun to relax from their tension.

Those young people were also slowly mastering the rhythm.

"Councilor Aisi, we meet again." An Yinan walked into the conference room, still in the same seat, with the same smile.

Aisi sighed, "Mrs. An, I hope we can talk clearly today."

The proposal had been overturned time and time again; last night, apart from answering phone calls, he had been deliberating over the proposal.

Before, he was thinking about how to exploit Huaxia and make Huaxia yield the greatest profits.

But now...

He was thinking about how to make Huaxia yield benefits without angering An Yinan.
