Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

International public opinion suddenly became overwhelming, like a surging wave.

Many Chinese overseas institutions were also in shock and confusion.

All overseas agencies instantly entered a state of high tension, began to collect local public opinion, and then reported to the country!

What major diplomatic moves are going on in the country?

How come we didn't get any news?

Telegrams flew into the country like snowflakes, and the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were caught off guard by the sudden massive amount of information.

Looking at the telegrams coming from all directions, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff were dumbfounded and hurriedly reported the situation to higher-ups.

The top leaders were also stunned when they received the news, and their hearts were full of doubts. Could it be that some major diplomatic action had triggered this international public opinion without their knowledge?

The news quickly reached the old man. At the same time, an emergency order was issued to the Chinese Embassy in the United States, requiring it to find out the situation as soon as possible and report it in a timely manner.

After receiving the order, the South Korean ambassador to the United States did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly deployed.

He sent people to Los Angeles quickly to try to contact the Olympic Organizing Committee and obtain key information.

He himself travels between various occasions in Washington and frequently contacts people from all parties.

However, after working hard for a long time, they did not gain any substantial results.

Ambassador Han found that the relevant personnel in Washington also looked confused.

What are you doing?

Ambassador Han was very confused, but there was nothing he could do. The level of contacts he had was limited, and he couldn't just ask the White House without any preparation and without any knowledge.

For a moment, Ambassador Han was very anxious.

The situation in Los Angeles is not optimistic either. Since there was almost no contact with the Los Angeles Olympics before, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to get the inside story in a short period of time.

Just when everyone was at a loss, there was a glimmer of hope.

The reception officer who had received Peter and Mike's delegation to China unexpectedly saw a beautiful Asian girl during his return visit.

Out of professional instinct, he quickly pressed the shutter.

After the photos were developed, they were sent to Ambassador Han, who did not dare to delay and immediately sent them back to China.

After domestic investigation and identification, the girl's identity was finally confirmed - Ning Yao, the daughter of Ning Hezhong, the governor of Dongjiang Province.

Upon hearing the news, the Korean ambassador was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. What an incredible diplomacy!

Ning Hezhong is holding a standing committee meeting of the Provincial Party Committee. The theme of today's meeting is to discuss the large-scale old house renovation plan reported by Ninghai City.

Secretary Peng has just spoken and expressed his support. Now it is Governor Ning's turn to express his opinion.

Ning Hezhong cleared his throat and said calmly, "Comrades, the renovation of old houses is a major issue concerning people's livelihood, and we must attach great importance to it. But in this process, we must put an end to corruption and favoritism in the project!"

He heard feedback that Secretary Peng's son Peng Xiaowei seemed to be involved in the Ninghai old house renovation project, which he thought could be used at today's Standing Committee meeting.

Ning Hezhong paused, then emphasized, "As far as I know, some forces are attempting to interfere and seek personal gain. We must strengthen oversight to ensure that every penny is spent effectively and that every step is fair and transparent. We must resolutely crack down on those who exploit connections and attempt to profit from the project."

When Ning Hezhong said this, his eyes swept towards Secretary Peng intentionally or unintentionally.

"I heard that relatives of some leading cadres are also trying to get involved. What kind of behavior is this..."

As he was speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

A staff member from the secretariat came in hurriedly, looking a little nervous.

He walked quickly to Ning Hezhong and said, "Governor, there's an urgent call from the capital. Please answer it immediately."

Ning Hezhong was stunned, the pen in his hand paused, not daring to delay for a moment, he immediately picked up the notebook and walked out.

In the conference room, the standing committee members of Dongjiang Province looked at each other and glanced at Secretary Peng who was sitting at the top.

In recent times, Secretary Peng has been on a strong momentum and has surpassed Ning Hezhong in many matters.

This phone call had many people wondering—a call from Beijing to Dongjiang, not to Secretary Peng, but to Governor Ning, was truly unusual. Could something new be going on at the top?

Secretary Peng's face turned very ugly. He turned his hand back and said angrily, "Dismiss the meeting!"

Ning Hezhong hurried to the office, picked up the phone, and was full of questions.

A voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Governor Ning, we are from the Beijing General Office. Please come to Beijing as soon as possible. The leader needs you."

Ning Hezhong asked cautiously, "Excuse me, leader, what can I do for you?"

The person on the phone replied, "Governor Ning, we're truly sorry, but we don't have the authority to relay this message over the phone. Please hurry up! It would be best if you could arrive today."

"So urgent?" Ning Hezhong responded without hesitation, "Please rest assured, leader. I'll leave right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Hezhong didn't have time to think about it. He immediately asked his secretary to arrange the itinerary and prepared to rush to the capital immediately. He secretly wondered what this sudden emergency summons was for.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when Ning Hezhong arrived in the capital.

The car that came to pick him up sped all the way and took him to the Beijing Office.

In the General Office, the Director of the General Office, who was one of the Standing Committee members, was sitting there waiting for him.

Seeing Ning Hezhong come in, the director stood up and greeted him and said, "Hezhong, I'm really sorry to have called you all the way from Dongjiang Province. Let's talk later, and I'll treat you to hot pot tonight."

Ning Hezhong hurried forward, shook hands firmly with the director of the General Office, and said, "You're too polite, leader. You're so busy, and you're still waiting for me at this hour. I should be the one to feel sorry for that."

After shaking hands, the two men sat down.

The director of the General Office slowly began, "The international situation has taken a slightly different direction recently. The topic of our diplomatic relations with the United States has suddenly become heated internationally. I suspect there are some forces behind this. After all, there's no smoke without fire."

"Haha, of course some people are saying this is the US engaging in Olympic diplomacy. Oh, and by the way, has He Zhong been following the news about the Los Angeles Olympics?"

Ning Hezhong was confused: "I've been paying some attention. I heard they made some news during the torch relay."

He said this, but in his heart he was muttering: "I'm the governor of Dongjiang Province, and you wouldn't ask me to come here to discuss international issues, right? The Olympics have nothing to do with us in Dongjiang!"

"I've paid attention to it. That's great. For the Los Angeles Olympics, we're going to send the largest sports delegation since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The leaders all attach great importance to it. This is a good opportunity to win honor for the country..." the director of the general office continued.
