Chapter 2443: Reasons that Are Difficult to Express (for the Leader Sidney Liu)

Feng Yiping's attitude surprised Cummins. Why did he sound like he was trying to avoid such a request?

He felt it necessary to clarify his views and give Feng Yiping a suggestion, "Feng, from the current situation and experience, I think we should welcome and encourage such contacts?"

"Even if it is not a California legislator, our products also serve the entire United States, and our customers are also throughout the United States. In the future, we cannot avoid encountering other disputes in other states."

"It is good to make friends with one now, even if it cannot be used in the future, but it is always good to have one more such force inside Capitol Hill."

"What they want is just some support. I can guarantee that this support will be limited to a very reasonable range..."

"Cummins, I understand, I understand everything," Feng Yiping interrupted him, "but for now, it is not appropriate for us to expand our influence on Capitol Hill."

Cummins thought for a while, "Oh, you are right!"

Thinking that they made Capitol Hill, which should have been relatively idle today, suddenly busy, he could accept Feng Yiping's reason.

However, for some reason, he still felt that this was not the boss's true idea.

But he did not intend to explore it further. In any case, he believed that the boss must have his reasons for doing so.

This can be seen from his series of arrangements in the past two days and the results produced.

He knew better than anyone that his young boss was not only outstanding in business and had excellent vision, but also in politics.

Regarding this point, he only needed to look at his predecessor, Buchanan, who was interested in politics, and his current situation and future development to have a clear understanding of this.

Judging from the current situation, his predecessor seemed to have a high probability of becoming one of the dignitaries in Washington in the next few years.

He did not want to know what the boss had paid and what arrangements he had made behind the scenes, but Buchanan's bright future gave him more extra reasons to work harder on his current job.

There are many definitions and conditions for a good boss, but it is very rare to be able to take care of the future of his former subordinates like Feng, even if it is just by the way.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. We will definitely complete the next thing according to your requirements," said Cummins.

"Okay Cummins, thank you for your hard work," Feng Yiping hung up the phone and exhaled.

"What's wrong?" Ma Ling looked at him, "Just go and do your work, it's okay,"

"It's okay," Feng Yiping shook his head.

Cummins guessed correctly that he was a little afraid of such things, but the reason was not easy to tell Cummins.

Including Ma Ling, it was not easy to bring it up.

Such a topic is only suitable for chatting with Huang Jingping and others.

Previous experience told him that he must distinguish several concepts clearly.

First, there are overseas Chinese and Chinese people.

Overseas Chinese are essentially our citizens, and Chinese people, in terms of blood, are descendants of Chinese, but to be precise, they should be called foreign Chinese.

We are indeed a very tolerant nation, a very generous nation, and a very responsible nation, so many times, we will equate these two concepts with one concept and treat them all as relatives.

At the same time, we have to say that some of us always have a kind of, how to say it, a mentality of taking advantage of others, or what we call climbing up the ladder.

Whenever a Chinese person has achieved something overseas, such as winning a well-known international award or becoming a high-ranking official abroad... there will definitely be a large number of media in China who are as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

This is actually understandable, just like later we sometimes inevitably say, "I am a classmate of Lao Ma," or "I am a former colleague of Xiao Ma Ge,"

Including some schools later publicizing that "the person who won a certain award is the foreign son-in-law of our school graduate," although it is too climbing up the ladder, it is also understandable.

But the bigger problem is that many of us always equate Chinese people and Chinese politicians, not only cheering for their achievements, but also wishful thinking that those Chinese politicians are our own people.

Feng Yiping clearly remembers that a few years after Obama took office, he sent a Chinese ambassador to China. When the news came, many people were so jubilant. Later, he took his own luggage when he took office, and even said that all our cadres should learn from him...

They really treated him like a relative who returned triumphantly.

But soon they found that it was not the case at all, and they were too wishful.

You treat people as relatives, but they don’t think so. This person who many people welcomed as a relative was not friendly to us.

His speech in the United States would make many people feel ashamed, "...They thought I would stand on their side..."

To be fair, their actions are not incomprehensible. After all, they are citizens of other countries and senior civil servants of that country. Naturally, they have to consider the interests of their own country.

Even in order to hold on to their own jobs and their own future, they may treat us more strictly than their non-Chinese colleagues, because it is inevitable that opponents will use this as a tool to attack...

Therefore, Feng Yiping has always participated in more activities for overseas Chinese in the United States, and less for Chinese Americans. He has warned himself from the beginning that he must be more careful with Chinese American politicians.

It can even be said that dealing with non-Chinese politicians may be better, because these authentic foreigners will at least treat him with general standards, unlike some Chinese Americans who will treat him with more stringent standards when necessary.

There is no right or wrong in this matter, but he must have a clear understanding.

Family affection is just a card for some people.

Unless necessary, he will definitely not deal with these American politicians who look like him but may only speak a few words in Cantonese.

So, how can he tell Cummins and Ma Ling about these reasons? It will only make him feel embarrassed.

"Okay," he rubbed Ma Ling's head, "I said, dear, do you have to pack your luggage?"

"Well, okay," Ma Ling sat up reluctantly.

"Also, I really want to see what gift you prepared for me," Feng Yiping said.

"Don't worry, they will be satisfied," Ma Ling said.

There were only two items left in his schedule in Washington, to take his son to the place where they first met to take pictures with Ma Ling, and to have an informal meeting with the commercial counselor of the embassy.

…………

Orlando.

Heidi knocked on the study door and said to John, who was reading the newspaper with a cigar in his mouth, "I say, can you come and help me at this time?"

Their home was very lively at this time, and all the people coming and going were uniformed housekeeping staff.

But the biggest change was the decoration of the house. Ma Ling would definitely feel refreshed when she returned home this time.

"Aren't they all ready? What else do you want?" John said.

Looking at Heidi's eyes, he took his feet off the table helplessly, "Okay, what do you need me to do?"

He just acted indifferent. In fact, he and Heidi attached equal importance to it. When he redecorated the house before, he worked very hard.

"Go check the guest room..." Before Heidi finished her words, a noisy voice rang out, "Did I go to the wrong place?"

Anne, pulling her suitcase, stood at the door and looked around, saying exaggeratedly, "Oh my God, is this still my home?"

"What do you think," Heidi smiled and hugged her little daughter, taking her to visit the new decorations and those new furnishings, "What do you think?"

Objectively speaking, Heidi had some intention of taking advantage of the topic this time. She had long wanted to redecorate this house, as a woman.

"Mom, you finally found an opportunity," Anne whispered in her mother's ear.

Heidi smiled and hit her.

"But I mainly think that this should cost a lot of money," Anne said seriously, "Is it necessary?"

"Also, should I express my concern about the inheritance I was supposed to inherit..."

John walked by with her suitcase and coughed heavily, and Anne immediately shut up.

PS: Yes, there will be another update in the evening.
