Chen Feng didn't bother with the internal guards. Frankly, this matter had nothing to do with them.
When the upper beams are not straight, the lower beams will be crooked.
To sort out the issues with the fdrt company, it was necessary to visit the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Chen Feng didn't hesitate and went directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"I want to enter the China office of the fdrt company."
Chen Feng stated his purpose directly to the reception staff at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Did my ears fail me, or has your brain been flooded? The China office of the fdrt company, do you think that's a place you can just enter?"
The receptionist looked at Chen Feng coldly.
"If the China office of the fdrt company is plotting to do bad things, won't you do anything?"
Chen Feng asked directly.
"Even if the China office of the fdrt company is truly doing bad things, it's not something you or I can manage. Understand?"
The receptionist continued to reply coldly.
"Understood."
Chen Feng didn't argue.
He had initially thought that China's fawning over foreigners existed, but wasn't that serious.
He never expected that upon a slight touch in reality.
It was very serious, to the point of being ingrained in their bones.
What was the difference compared to China's past?
In the past, local authorities had no right to inquire about foreign affairs.
Only the imperial court had the authority to intervene.
The current China had a similar effect.
Whenever it involved foreigners and foreign affairs, ordinary citizens had no right to inquire.
Never mind. Since the receptionist was like this, he would directly find someone who had influence in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Thus, Chen Feng stopped arguing with the receptionist and immediately called Wang Ziwei.
Wang Ziwei was the daughter of the Wang family from the capital, and it was normal for her to know a person or two with power in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Chen Feng, I do know a few people at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But the question is, do you really need to get involved with the fdrt company's affairs?"
Wang Ziwei advised Chen Feng.
"Teacher Wang, the fdrt company is actively suppressing China's chip industry. Is such a serious matter not worth intervening in?"
Chen Feng retorted.
"Chen Feng, you are quite seasoned in the political arena. You should know that for thousands of years, Chinese politics has been divided into two factions: one is the isolationist and arrogant faction, who consider themselves the celestial empire. The other is the fawning faction, who believe they are inferior to white people. It's clear that the fawning faction is currently in the ascendant. Didn't you say before that in politics, right or wrong doesn't matter, what matters most is which side you're on? Knowing that fawning over foreigners is mainstream, you insist on going against it, aren't you asking for trouble?"
Wang Ziwei continued to advise Chen Feng.
"Teacher Wang, what you said is very true. If it were just minor fawning over foreigners, I would turn a blind eye and go with the flow. But the issue with the fdrt company is very serious, it concerns the long-term development of China's chips. I certainly cannot go with the flow."
Chen Feng said with a serious expression.
"But the problem is, the Chinese high command doesn't care about this matter. Why are you making a fuss?"
Wang Ziwei said dejectedly.
"Teacher Wang, there are definitely problems with the Chinese high command. That's unquestionable. Otherwise, why would so many traitorous policies have been implemented in recent years? However, I don't think the problem is that big. It's not just China; it's like this in all countries. High-ranking officials betraying their country is not new. But as a Chinese person, when faced with such a situation, one must have the awareness to prevent treason with all one's might. My current ability is only to deal with traitorous acts like those of the fdrt company. When I enter the higher echelons of power in the future, I will definitely find ways to reverse the prevailing mood in the Chinese political arena and absolutely will not allow open acts of treason. China must be a China with backbone!"
Chen Feng explained patiently.
"Chen Feng, since you put it that way, I can't refuse. How about this, I'll introduce you to Director Zhang of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can discuss any matters with Director Zhang specifically."
Wang Ziwei's expression was complex.
On one hand, she didn't want Chen Feng to meddle in affairs.
Foreigners, foreign affairs; most people in politics generally stayed far away.
They would never proactively seek to handle such matters.
If they did well, the common people below would call them traitors.
If they did poorly, their superiors would give them a hard time, leaving them in a no-win situation.
On the other hand, she was very happy.
Chen Feng at this moment was still true to his original intentions, just like the vice-town mayor's driver she met years ago.
To be honest, such men in politics were rare.
Most men, perhaps from wealthy families, might have initially championed the cause of the people.
However, within two years, they would become thoroughly corrupted, becoming great or even massive corrupt officials.
Frankly speaking, this was also why she preferred to teach at school rather than enter politics.
It was truly pathetic for a person to become someone they disliked.
Chen Feng didn't hesitate. After hanging up the phone, he immediately went to find Director Zhang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"What is your relationship with Wang Ziwei?"
Director Zhang asked curiously.
"Teacher Wang is my girlfriend."
Chen Feng was not modest.
Since he was seeking help through connections, there was no need to be humble.
"You are the Deputy Mayor of Ming City?"
Director Zhang glanced at Chen Feng with a dismissive look.
A deputy mayor of a county-level city might be considered a big official in the eyes of others.
However, in his eyes, he was no different from a deputy county magistrate.
"Yes, I just took office a few days ago."
Chen Feng nodded slightly in reply.
"Chen Feng, I am truly curious, what is it about you that Wang Ziwei likes?"
Director Zhang asked with curiosity.
Others might not know Wang Ziwei's identity, but he did.
Wang Ziwei's father, Wang Jianshan, was the top official of China's capital.
What did it mean to be the top official of China's capital?
Becoming the top official of the capital meant entering the inner circle of China's high command.
It was only one step away from the President of China.
"Director Zhang, I can't quite explain love. However, Wang Ziwei and I have been dating for several years, and I remember it quite clearly."
Chen Feng said unhurriedly.
With Wang Ziwei as his connection, there was no need to be nervous.
"Go ahead, what is it you're looking for me for?"
Director Zhang asked curiously.
"I want to enter the China office of the fdrt company."
Chen Feng didn't beat around the bush and stated the truth directly.
"Chen Feng, did I hear you correctly? You want to enter the China office of the fdrt company?"
Director Zhang was taken aback for a moment.
"Can't I?"
Chen Feng retorted.
"It's not a question of whether you can or not. Although I am just a junior director at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, arranging for someone to enter the China office of the fdrt company is quite easy. The problem is, you don't need to wade into this muddy water."
Director Zhang advised Chen Feng.
If it weren't for Wang Ziwei, he really wouldn't bother.
If someone wants to court disaster, let them. Society will teach them how to behave.
For thousands of years in China, anyone who advocated for a hard stance against foreigners met a bad end.
A typical example:
The Boxer Rebellion in China, who were extremely tough on foreigners, killing any foreigner they saw?
What was the result?
They were used by the Chinese political establishment and then wiped out!
"The China office of the fdrt company has ulterior motives towards China, shouldn't this be addressed?"
Chen Feng asked directly, without concealment.
"Young man, don't think that you alone are smart or responsible in this society. Many people know that the China office of the fdrt company is doing bad things behind the scenes. Why aren't they intervening? The reason is simple: they know that the fawning faction within the high command turns a blind eye to such matters, so why would they want to get involved with China's higher-ups?"
Director Zhang said with a look of being used to it.
"Director Zhang, I don't quite understand. It's understandable for ordinary people like us to fawn over foreigners. Why do China's high-ranking officials also fawn over foreigners? What do they gain?"
Chen Feng asked with confusion.
