Part 2 Hello, Mr. Major General I'm Gu Nianzi

259. Generous offer!

Is that so?" Deputy Director Feng mused as he looked down, a craftiness dancing in his eyes, "I can't make any guarantees. You've just witnessed Major General Huo firsthand. He's a soldier, not a diplomat nor a Secret Service agent. He certainly has no obligation to attend the reception."
Gu Yanran was disappointed, "That's fine. I just truly admire this young military officer, and wanted to establish a special charity fund for the military personnel in the Empire. It would provide support to the families of the deceased soldiers."
Deputy Director Feng's eyes lit up and he took the pipe from his mouth, "Didn't you say that you would transfer half your fortune to our nation? So then, this charity fund?"
"This charity fund is one of the projects the Gu Group is discussing right now," Gu Yanran said with a smile as she continued, "of course, we don't have to set up the charity fund in your country, there are also many other countries that would be interested as well."
Although she was just 24-years old, her well practiced business approach was very effective.
Once again, Deputy Director Feng found himself unable to reject Gu Yanran's offer. However, he was still abiding by his rational principles, because this wasn't his call to make.
"Ms.Gu, rest assured that I'll communicate this to my superiors and ask for their thoughts on your most generous offer."
The three day International Extraordinary Women's Commendation Conference came to a successful end, and the last day was the closing ceremony and reception. In addition to the delegates and event organizers, distinguished guests from the Empire also attended. Anyone that could get a ticket was an elite. The brand new spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bai Shuang, especially came from the capital to attend the closing ceremony and reception. She was also one of the special guests of the International Extraordinary Women's Commendation Conference. Not long ago, the Huaxia Imperial delegate unexpectedly won a triumphant victory by easily resolving what could've been a major international incident. They had also taken the opportunity to introduce the Nandou system to the international market and had created a trap for the smug Americans. Unfortunately, the Americans had used Xin Xinggao as a scapegoat and barely managed to save face.
Huo Shaoheng had led the 6th Military Region on its first excursion to Europe and came out unexpectedly victorious. They were now truly recognized by the Imperial Army.At least within the upper echelons of the Huaxia Empire, all voices opposing the 6th Military Region had ceased.
The person who had reaped the greatest benefit from the incident was the spokesperson of the delegate, Bai Shuang. After her return to the Empire, she had been immediately promoted from the secretary at the Huaxia Imperial Consulate to Austria to the Deputy Director and also the new spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As the fastest promoted female official in the Huaxia Empire, Bai Shuang was also invited to the International Extraordinary Women's Commendation Conference. The closing ceremony was held in the afternoon and reception in the evening. Bai Shuang arrived in a simple and clean rose colored dress suit. The cut was flattering and the workmanship was reminiscent of the old tailors of the capital, comparable to international styles. Female politicians attending from other countries all recognized Bai Shuang. She had been outstanding at the International Telecommunications Conference and had established herself a name as the new spokesperson of the Huaxia Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
