Chapter 315: Chapter 315 Banquet
For quite a few minutes, they were all stunned, but when the journalists came back to their senses, without exception, everyone applauded.
Clap clap clap!!
Applause echoed through the room.
Jiang Cheng smiled, then said, "I’ve pretty much answered the questions, time is limited, that’s it for today."
After speaking, he signaled Major General Xiang Dong to let those special elite forces clear the way, escorting them out of the Sheraton Hotel and heading towards the Diao Xie Tai National Hotel.
With more than a dozen special forces clearing the way, they wasted no time escorting Jiang Cheng and Major General Xiang Dong out of the hotel. They got into the car and headed towards the Diao Xie Tai National Hotel.
After Jiang Cheng left, dozens of journalists and photographers from various media outlets were still somewhat bewildered, mainly because of Jiang Cheng’s previous words, which were incredibly charismatic and heart-stirring.
Although Jiang Cheng only answered four questions in total, the content he provided could indeed become tomorrow’s headlines!
These media workers often push news online and certainly understand how online hot topics are born. Looking at the notes of Jiang Cheng’s responses, they could easily anticipate these words would become trending topics online for some time.
Some of Jiang’s words could naturally become memes or perhaps emojis online!
Meanwhile, sitting in the car, Jiang Cheng remained very calm. The things he said during the interview were merely thoughts he wished to express, although they might sound arrogant, yet they were facts. In the future, the technology Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company launches will surely reshape the future, and now being a leader in the mobile industry, it’s somewhat common.
Although the road had some traffic, fortunately, they had military plates, so before long, Jiang Cheng and Major General Xiang Dong arrived at the Diao Xie Tai National Hotel.
At this moment, before Jiang Cheng was the heavily guarded Diao Xie Tai National Hotel.
Looking at the ancient gate with the six large characters of "Diao Xie Tai National Hotel," Jiang Cheng was filled with emotion, surprised how swiftly he could have dinner here.
This place truly holds extraordinary significance; Diao Xie Tai National Guest House is a crucial venue for Huaxia Country leaders to conduct foreign affairs and a super-star hotel for hosting heads of state and important guests!
Diao Xie Tai National Hotel!
It’s said that only those with the highest status in the world qualify to dine here. Major General Xiang Dong felt quite uneasy because he had hardly been here himself.
Jiang Cheng and Major General Xiang Dong, escorted by a line of wary soldiers, walked toward the dining venue.
The dining location was at the Eight Directions Garden, passing through a sizeable scenic garden, Jiang Cheng, Major General Xiang Dong, and their entourage felt extremely comfortable walking.
The scenery of Diao Xie Tai National Hotel was excellent, with balanced garden designs, possessing a simplistic ancient beauty. The buildings stood impressively among breathtaking views, indeed a tranquil sanctuary.
Breathing in the fresh air, it only took a short time for Jiang Cheng and Major General Xiang Dong to reach Eight Directions Garden, surrounded by soldiers.
Entering Eight Directions Garden, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but nod repeatedly; the interior design of the building was lavish and dazzling. It truly deserved to be a facility for receiving heads of state or important guests, combining Eastern and Western features beautifully, showcasing Huaxia traditional culture’s elegance, appearing very noble and dignified.
In the reception hall of Eight Directions Garden, the First Leader, Third Leader, and several other leaders had already taken their seats, quietly awaiting Jiang Cheng and Major General Xiang Dong’s arrival. Jiang Cheng and Major General Xiang Dong sat together at their designated seats and, seeing the stern expressions on the leaders’ faces, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Apologies for being late."
"Hahaha, welcome young friend Jiang Cheng to join our banquet, for a national hero like you, this all might seem a bit lacking in reception." The First Leader surprisingly stood up, extended a hand wanting to shake Jiang Cheng’s hand.
This gesture startled all the senior leaders in the reception hall, their faces showing disbelief because the First Leader was exceptionally busy, and no one expected him to pay such heed to Jiang Cheng.
Be aware, the only people qualified for the First Leader’s welcome are other national leaders.
The First Leader showed such importance to Jiang Cheng, everyone present dared not slack off, including the Third Leader and some other ministerial-level cadres, all stood up to welcome him.
Outside the reception hall, one could see a dense assembly of special elite forces, given indeed among those seated inside was the nation’s top tier, any mishap here would be catastrophic for the country. Jiang Cheng maintained his composure throughout; even if half of the national leaders were here, they weren’t likely to shake him.
Seeing the First Leader standing extending his hand, Jiang Cheng smiled and politely shook his hand, responding: "Leader, you’re too kind. I’m just an ordinary scientific researcher or businessman doing what I should, Genetic Evolution Potion, smog-curing bacteria, these technologies can help the nation; I naturally share them." "Jiang Cheng, young friend, is too humble. Our nation invests greatly in scientific research annually, yet has never won a Nobel Prize in Medicine or a Turing Award. But you, young friend, won both prestigious awards alone, calling you a genius is an understatement, how can you say such things?" The Leader flashed his signature smile, observing Jiang Cheng’s demeanor while speaking.
However, he certainly couldn’t detect any tension, self-consciousness, or other emotions on Jiang Cheng’s face, as Jiang Cheng’s experiences ran deep, even a national leader couldn’t cause ripples within him.
Jiang Cheng undoubtedly realized the leader was observing him, continuing to smile: "The leaders here are overly modest; shall we sit together, terribly sorry for being so late today."
Seeing Jiang Cheng’s attitude, he seemed very familiar with political routines, making many committee members and ministerial officials present raise their evaluations of Jiang Cheng a notch.
"Let’s begin serving the dishes now." The First Leader smiled at Jiang Cheng and then signaled the attendants to commence serving. It was only then Jiang Cheng could take a glance at everyone before him; the First Leader and Third Leader weren’t the only ones present, numerous deputy leaders were there, including Minister Liu Zetang from the Environmental Department, Minister Xiang Shaoming from the Security Department, all present.
