"Brother, I miss you so much!"

"Brother, me too!"

"Me too!"

Zayed, Hamdan and Karsi expressed great enthusiasm for Ye Fang in the car. If it weren't for the limited space of Ye Fang's business bread machine, these three people would have pounced on him.

"Why didn't you say hello before you came? Aren't you afraid that if I wasn't here, your trip would be in vain?" Ye Fang asked.

"Of course we won't be that stupid. I have someone on your side." Zayed said proudly.

Ye Fang smiled and asked, "Isn't it Yanyan you are talking about?"

"Yes, that's her. I specifically asked her not to tell you. I'll give you a surprise when the time comes." Zayed said with a smile.

"It's not enough to scare you." Ye Fang rolled his eyes at Zayed, and then turned his attention to a little boy sitting in the back row. He looked like he was underage, but he was very handsome.

"This should be the young Crown Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia!" Ye Fang said.

Salman just turned 16 this year and came to China for the first time, so he was very curious about everything. When he saw Ye Fang, he greeted Ye Fang in a timid tone, "Hello!"

"What's good? Call me brother!" Zayed stepped forward and patted Salman on the head and corrected him.

Salman didn't mind Zayed's rude behavior at all. He blushed and said to Ye Fang, "Brother, okay!"

"Okay, okay." Ye Fang wondered if he had recognized a younger brother, and he was also the future president of Saudi Arabia, the largest oil producer in the Middle East. Ye Fang asked Zayed, "Are you here specifically to see me? "

"Of course, otherwise what are we doing here?!" Hamdan replied.

"You have an unusual status now. Just one of you is already a big deal. Now that four of you are here together, I guess our diplomatic department doesn't even know what to talk to you about now." Ye Fang said angrily.

Two of these four crown princes are major oil-producing countries in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, which is the largest oil-producing country in the Middle East and is well-known in the world. Now Zayed has brought the young crown prince directly to Beijing, which has put a lot of diplomatic pressure on his upper management. To put it bluntly, the few people in the carriage will determine the international oil price in the future. From this perspective, the country should send senior business officials to negotiate directly. But now this person is still the crown prince, which is more embarrassing. It is neither possible to talk about it nor not to talk about it. This embarrassing situation is more difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Ye Fang's phone rang, and it was Xue Yuanshan on the other side of the phone.

"Did you take those four crown princes away?" Judging from his tone, Xue Yuanshan seemed to be holding his breath and wanted to scold Ye Fang, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Well, I'm with them right now." Ye Fang motioned with his eyes to the four people in the carriage to be quiet.

"Do you know that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs almost asked for permission to dispatch the special police force because of you? Can you think more carefully about things? Don't you know the identities of these four people? How can you just pick them up and leave! At least you have to Report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and wait for approval from the higher authorities before picking them up. And whether your Xiyuan's reception capacity can meet the requirements of these crown princes, whether Xiyuan's security can guarantee their safety, food safety, service quality, etc. Have you considered this question?" Xue Yuanshan fired a barrage of questions at Ye Fang.

"Uncle Shan, I just learned that they are coming. Don't worry, I have made all the arrangements." Ye Fang said confidently.

"It's arranged, it's arranged? Do you know that each of the four crown princes has brought a service team with a plane, totaling more than 1000 people. Now let me ask you, can your Xiyuan accommodate it?" Xue Yuanshan asked.

Hearing what Xue Yuanshan said, Ye Fang's expression changed, he covered the phone receiver with his hand, and asked Zayed directly, "How many planes have you arrived?"

"Five, that's six." Zayed asked the other three people uncertainly, and the other three people also looked confused, because these things are not their concern, each country has a department responsible for this. The Crown Prince’s travel matters.

At this time, Lu Jiuge suddenly said, "Mr. Ye, people from the action team came to report. They said that our fleet is too long and has caused large-scale congestion on Chang'an Street. If it cannot be evacuated before the evening rush hour, the traffic in the entire Second Ring Road will be stuck." Paralyzed. The city’s traffic police have now been dispatched.”

Hearing these words, Ye Fang, one with two heads, cursed secretly why it was so troublesome for these crown princes to go abroad. He brought hundreds of followers with him when he went abroad alone. Ye Fang was so angry that he looked at Zayed with murderous eyes. Zayed didn't know why Ye Fang's face suddenly turned gloomy. Several people did not dare to speak for a while. Only Saudi Crown Prince Salman looked at Ye Fang with admiring eyes.

Although Saudi Arabia is like a Tyrannosaurus rex in the entire Middle East, as the crown prince, Salman is the little brother in front of Zayed and other crown princes. Therefore, when Salman saw Ye Fang, he could treat Zayed with just one look. I admire her for her submissive look in her eyes.

"Uncle Shan, I didn't think about this problem well enough. I will discuss this matter with these guys immediately. Let them bring only the necessary security and service personnel into Xiyuan, and arrange the rest of them elsewhere. Please let the responsible person The person in charge of reception and traffic control contacted me," Ye Fang said.

Xue Yuanshan thought, Got it! A dignified senior leader himself has become Ye Fang's mouthpiece, but there is really no other way now. Xue Yuanshan agreed to this matter head-on. Now how to arrive at Xiyuan to settle these crown princes has become a big deal, otherwise These convoys would be in trouble if they encountered Beijing's evening rush hour.

Ye Fang put down the phone, looked at Zayed and the other three angrily, and then imitated Zayed and hit everyone on the head. Originally, Salman was gloating at the three of them, but he was hit on the head by Ye Fang.

At this time, Ye Fang's phone rang. It should be Xue Yuanshan who told the person responsible for contacting the transfer. Ye Fang directly threw the phone to Nan Yi, the co-pilot, and asked Nan Yi to answer it.

"The four of you should quickly call the person in charge of reception. Each person is allowed to bring up to four security guards and two service personnel into Xiyuan. All other people will follow the arrangements and go to other places to stay. Hurry!" Ye Fang ordered. .

"Yes! We'll make arrangements right away!" Zayed and others quickly took out their phones and quickly contacted their housekeeper team. Then these housekeepers contacted Nan Yi, who told them to stay there.

When the convoy arrived at Xiyuan, the temporary queue caused by the huge support team was finally resolved. The four crown princes, who were lightly dressed for the first time, finally got off the car at the gate of Xiyuan.

"Mom, look, there are a lot of foreigners wearing white robes over there. The men also wear skirts, how interesting it is!"

On one side of the alley, a mother and daughter looked at a group of foreigners in white robes pointing at the entrance of Xiyuan.

Things like accommodation and life in the future have never been something that world-class dudes like Zayed need to worry about. After getting out of the car, Zayed saw Ye Yanyan greeting her at the door. Zayed stepped forward and hugged Yanyan. Yan said this in jerky Chinese, which made Ye Fangzhi frown.

A group of people filed into Xiyuan. Among these crown princes, Kalsi had a lot of research on courtyard houses when he was studying in the capital in his early years. At this time, he took the initiative to explain the work. Zayed, Hamdan and Salman listened with great interest. Although these Westerners did not understand the so-called royal atmosphere, everyone no longer dared to laugh since they entered Xiyuan. Everyone felt Any disrespect seems to be disrespectful to the ancient building in front of you.

The staff of the foreign affairs department had already learned about the Xiyuan situation from Xue Yuanshan and dispatched a national-level translation team and service team. At this time, the translators followed Miyagi and wanted to act as a tour guide, but found that it was completely useless. The place of martial arts. Kalsi and Ye Yanyan, the self-contained commentator, have already shouldered their responsibilities.

Ye Fang and Nan Yi were walking at the back of the team. Ever since they got off the car, Ye Fang had not put down the phone in his hand. Naturally, it was still Xue Yuanshan who was on the phone. Xue Yuanshan took the trouble to explain the precautions in the process. Since it was not convenient for the superiors to appear in Xiyuan, Ye Fang took on the responsibility of the foreign affairs reception.

"Uncle Shan, please tell the superiors that they are four foreign friends who came to visit friends. They don't need to make it so complicated to go online. Everything should be simple." Ye Fang felt a little upset when he heard Xue Yuanshan's ramble.

"There is no small matter in diplomacy, not to mention that their current identities are too sensitive. Do you know that international public opinion is paying attention to this incident? You must ensure that the entire reception process is foolproof. Take the things I tell you to heart. Corresponding officials will be arranged to make tentative contacts based on the situation," Xue Yuanshan said seriously.

"Don't worry, don't worry, nothing will happen to me here. I will entertain them well. Just don't worry. You also tell the leaders to keep your heart in mind." Ye Fang said a few more words. Then he hung up the phone.

"It's so annoying!" Ye Fang said bitterly, then handed the phone directly to Nan Yi and confessed, "I won't answer the phone from now on." After that, he walked quickly towards Zayed.

Nan Yi looked at Ye Fang's back, shook his head and said helplessly, "You are the only one in the world who dares to talk to him with this attitude." After saying that, he put away the phone and followed him.

When Ye Fang, Zayed and others walked into the central courtyard of Xiyuan and saw the century-old ginkgo tree, the crown princes stood in front of the ginkgo tree as if they were being restrained, staring intently in front of them. Ginkgo Tree. Although Ye Yanyan in Zayed's arms is young, she has heard the legend about the ginkgo tree countless times. Zayed introduced the history of the ginkgo tree word by word in a childish voice.

At this time, the only sounds left in the entire courtyard were Ye Yanyan's childish voice and the rustling of the branches and leaves of the century-old ginkgo tree. The entire courtyard formed a very mysterious rhythm. This state of unity between nature and man made Zayed's four-part body There will be a kind of spiritual baptism that I have never experienced before. Soon Zayed put down Ye Yanyan, and actually led three other people to perform a kneeling ceremony at the ginkgo tree.

Ye Fang was filled with surprise and anger as he watched the four people solemnly complete the prayer in accordance with the traditional Middle Eastern customs. Zayed and others stood up and said to Ye Fang, "Brother, there are gods in your yard. It's great to live here."

"If you feel good, stay a few more days. Let's go and show you the room, and then take you to dinner." Ye Fang checked the time and after arranging several people, it was probably time.

Sure enough, the four people had huge differences over the arrangement of the room. Everyone wanted to be closer to the ginkgo tree. In the end, it was Ye Yanyan who came forward to arrange the living place for the four of them, and the four of them reached an agreement.

After arriving at Xiyuan, Zayed and his four friends first met with Zhang Xiuying and presented them with national gifts. The gifts given by the four extremely wealthy crown princes were extraordinary. Even everyone in Xiyuan received a gift from the Middle East. The rich man's gifts were either gold or diamond jewelry, and he quickly bought everyone in Xiyuan.

Ye Fang secretly lamented that the money offensive of the Middle Eastern tycoons was really difficult to resist.

"Let's go, princes, I'll take you to eat something special today." Ye Fang showed a hint of a nonchalant smile on his lips, and said in his heart that you guys, the Middle Eastern hicks, have never tasted it.

At this time, in the most mysterious red house on Chang'an Street, an old man wearing thick glasses was watching the news broadcast and listening to the report of the secretary-looking person next to him.

"Chief, there is news from Xiyuan." The secretary bowed and reported.

The old man nodded, hummed, picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip.

"Have everything been arranged? The garden is not big, but it cannot lose its grandeur." The old man said slowly.

The secretary looked a little embarrassed after hearing what the old man said, and seemed to have a hard time speaking. He said slowly, "The arrangements have been made, but... it's just..." The secretary looked at the old man in embarrassment, and seemed to dare not say the following words.

"Just say what you have to say." The old man snorted coldly.

"Chief, the four crown princes did not go to the State Banquet Building for dinner in the evening. Instead... Mr. Ye took the four crown princes to Guijie Street for barbecue." The secretary said the last half of the sentence at double speed. Then he closed his eyes slightly to prepare for the old man's questioning.

As expected, the secretary was not disappointed.

"Cough...cough..." The old man choked on the tea before he could swallow it. He looked up at the secretary and confirmed, "What did you say, you took the four princes to a street barbecue?"

"Well." The secretary looked at his watch and said, "We should have arrived at Guijie by now."

The old man snorted coldly, slammed the tea cup on the table, and shouted, "Isn't this nonsense?"

The old man stood up and wandered for a few steps. He was about to ask his secretary to call Xue Yuanshan but gave up the idea. The old man's eyes flashed and he suddenly smiled and said, "It's not bad to eat barbecue. It's not bad either."

The secretary stared at the old man with wide eyes, and secretly thought to himself that inviting the future president of a major Middle Eastern country to a barbecue was not bad at all? ! The secretary obviously didn't understand the deeper meaning.

The old man thought for a moment and said slowly, "Just watch, don't let anything happen."

"Yes." The secretary slowly bowed and exited the room, then took out the phone and dialed.
