Chapter 91 91. Contract loopholes

After the dinner, according to the procedure, everyone should stay to drink and dance. No matter whether they can dance or not, no one said they would leave after dinner.

But Mrs. Samir was obviously "busy with official duties". After dinner, she took her trusted generals away. Others who originally came to get close to Mrs. Samir also left early.

Qiao Zhenzhen also got some free time. She didn't need to stay by Shen Zhenguo's side all the time to translate for him. She finally had time to talk to Jiang Erge and others.

Here, Qiu Yuanshan from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was still asking Shen Zhenguo where he found the translation. Even Samir could be defeated by her. Not only was she courageous, but she was also resourceful. He had never heard of the things she just mentioned, such as red wine and steak.

Shen Zhenguo was also very shocked, because he knew Qiao Zhenzhen's background very well. He didn't know where Qiao Zhenzhen knew those things, but it was obvious that those American guys didn't get mad about it, which was very telling.

Later, Shen Zhenguo asked Qiao Zhenzhen where she learned to taste red wine and steak. Qiao Zhenzhen said that part of it was from books, and part of it was made up by her.

Shen Zhenguo scolded her severely for this: "You, you dare to make up such nonsense in such a situation. I don't know whether to say that you are skilled and brave, or that you don't know how to live or die."

Qiu Yuanshan laughed at the side and said: "Old Shen, you don't have to be so nervous. I think Comrade Qiao Zhenzhen's approach is quite refreshing. Didn't you see that Samir and William's faces changed? It's just right to kill their anger!"

Thinking of those people's stupid looks, Qiu Yuanshan was in a good mood. As a leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he has been dealing with the United States for a long time. He often feels constrained and has suffered a lot of depression. Qiao Zhenzhen's doing this can also make him vent his anger.

Besides, it was just a meal. Even if something went wrong, he could cover it. I thought that a great country like ours might not be able to protect even a female comrade? Isn't it a joke!

In the next few days, Qiao Zhenzhen often accompanied Qiu Yuanshan and Shen Zhenguo in and out of the M Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.

In addition to maintaining diplomatic relations between the two countries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also wanted to sell a batch of things to the M government in exchange for some foreign exchange.

What China brought out was a batch of precious mineral resources. There was no other way. M didn't like other things, so it could only exchange these resources.

Fortunately, China is vast and rich in mineral resources, and selling them out will not affect domestic development at all.

However, when signing the contract, Qiao Zhenzhen found that the contract text was all in English, without a single Chinese character. What was even more coincidental was that Qiao Zhenzhen also found that in a very critical breach of contract clause, Country M used a compound word.

This compound word is composed of three words. This combination is very common in the use of English words, but this compound word is a bit special because its combined meaning is exactly the opposite of the original meaning.

Therefore, such a small combination will make this clause very unfavorable to us. If the other party is more insidious, we may lose all our money.

Why Qiao Zhenzhen remembers this word so deeply is because she suffered such a big loss when she just entered the workplace. Because of this word, she was cheated out of a big order. In the end, she not only lost her job, but also lost 10,000 yuan to the company.
