Chapter 106: Martha Promotes China
Night, hotel room in Acre.
Lin Yan was still outside helping to clean up the accumulated sand and repair the buildings as he had done in the previous few days. Martha was a little exhausted after a day of work, so she went back to her room to rest first.
She sat in front of the window, holding the seeds she had obtained today on the cloth and observing them carefully, her eyes shining, and her excitement and leaping emotions could not be concealed at all.
"That's great! These seeds can grow in the desert with very little water. If we plant them all, will the desert of our Alian Chiefs slowly turn into green land? In this way, there will be no more annoying sandstorms, and even the problem of water shortage may be solved. Hehehe, it would be great if that were the case!"
She smiled innocently, as if she was filled with happiness as she thought of the magnificent scene of the Arab Desert turning into green land in the future.
She took out her cell phone, hesitating whether to call her father right now. Ak City also has international express delivery services. If everything goes well, the seeds can be sent back to the Emirate of Alian in a week. This kind of good thing that benefits the country and the people should be done sooner rather than later.
But according to my father's personality, if he heard that these were just test products that China had already eliminated, he would definitely get angry, right? If the Chieftain of Alian wanted to grow something, he had to grow the best. Maybe my father would not even look down on these.
But the most advanced seeds are still being tested by China itself, how can they be given to Chief Alian? Moreover, the direction of China's experiments is also poverty alleviation, and Chief Alian does not need poverty alleviation, but only needs to be able to green the desert. No matter how you look at it, these eliminated seeds are the most suitable for Chief Alian himself!
Um! That's it!
After thinking of the words in her mind, Martha prepared to call her old father.
However, at this moment, her cell phone rang first, and someone was calling.
And the incoming call number was exactly the number of her old father that she was about to call!
Should we say that the father and daughter are in tune with each other? When Martha was thinking about whether to call her father, the old father actually thought of calling his daughter at the same time.
"Hello? Dad?"
The healthy voice of the old father came from the other end of the phone:
"My dear daughter, you have been playing in China for more than ten days. How do you feel?"
"Well... it's pretty good! China is a great place, I have a lot of fun here!"
"Really? But I saw you were drowned in the rain and chased by sand in China. It doesn't seem as happy as you said."
"Ah this..."
Martha scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Father, have you been watching Yan's live broadcast? How come you know so much about these things?"
"I don't have time to watch this live broadcast room all day. However, I do pay attention to these changes in the live broadcast room."
The old father paused and said with emotion:
"Huaxia is such an incredible country."
Hearing her father's praise for China, Martha actually puffed out her chest with pride, as if she were honored.
"Right, right? I told you, China is really a very different country! The people here are different from us, from Europe, from America, and from people everywhere! Sometimes I almost suspect that they are aliens, otherwise how could they have such strange trains of thought! Father, if you have time, I really sincerely recommend that you come to China in person! You have seen China thirty years ago, so you must be more impressed by the changes in China today!"
Want to go to China?
The old father did have similar thoughts in his mind, but now he just smiled and shook his head.
"No, there are so many state affairs that I don't have time to travel around like you. If I only go to a few places in China, it's like touching a camel with your eyes covered. I can't see its full appearance."
"But your brother will be leaving for China on a state visit tomorrow. He will stay in China for a long time, from a few months to a year. You can keep an eye on your brother's movements. If there is anything, you can ask your brother for help."
Brother Abel is coming to China?
And it’s an official state visit! ?
This news was like a bombshell, and Martha felt dizzy for a moment.
"So sudden?" "Sister, I think I left too late and delayed our country's time."
Abel's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother Abel, why did you suddenly decide to come here? Is it because of my live broadcast these past two days? Where are you going? Jinghai? Or come directly to Xijiang? Do you really want to discuss cooperation on the introduction of these seeds? If so, I think China still has a lot of great things that can be introduced to our country, such as..."
Martha was obviously more relaxed in front of her brother, and she bombarded Abel with questions like a machine gun, which made him numb.
"Hey, hey, hey, I don't usually see you care so much about me, your brother. Why are you so enthusiastic like a salesman when you heard that I was coming to China?"
"Ah, this... After all, this concerns the entire Alian Chieftaincy. I am a member of the royal family after all, so it's normal for me to be concerned about it."
"Do you still remember that you are the princess of the Alian Chieftain? If you hadn't said it, I would have thought that the person I was talking to was a good daughter-in-law of China. Otherwise, why would I hear you speak well of China every day?"
"...Hate it! Brother, you are kidding me again!"
Martha's face turned red.
On the other end of the phone, Abel and his old father both burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, Shama. To be honest, I have many things to discuss during my visit to China, and it's definitely not just about the seeds. Didn't my father also say that I will be investigating in China for a long time, maybe a few months or a year? Maybe I will be like you, 'traveling' around China, so it's not impossible for us to bump into each other someday."
"As for the more detailed information, I won't tell you."
Martha: “?”
Why didn't you tell me? Are you still hiding these things from me?
"My father and I don't want you to feel stressed."
Prince Abel sighed softly and said in a doting tone, "Shama... No, Martha, we hope you are happy. Since you are traveling abroad, you should not be burdened with family affairs or state affairs. You should just have fun happily."
"It is true that China's achievements are eye-catching. Everyone will subconsciously compare China with their own country, hoping that their own country can learn some of China's strengths - but this is a problem we need to consider. This is the world of adults. My father and I don't want your happy travel to be affected by these distractions."
Martha stammered: "I, I didn't..."
"Oh? Then why is my sister, who has never watered flowers before, suddenly so fond of these seeds today? Could it be that she has developed an interest in planting trees since today?"
Abel smiled.
"Martha, believe in your brother."
"My love for our country, my responsibility, and my desire to make our motherland truly strong are no less than yours. Just leave all these things that adults should think about to me. You don't have to carry them on your shoulders and affect your mood for traveling in China."
That's why they called Martha tonight.
On the one hand, they were delighted with Martha's sense of responsibility as a princess, but on the other hand, they didn't want these distracting thoughts to affect Martha.
Take today's seeds for example, if these seeds were not given away because of Lin Yan's contribution, but were formally negotiated and cooperated between the two countries, how many quarrels, how many exchanges of interests, how many shady means - and even how many hostile forces secretly tripped up, Martha couldn't imagine.
This time, thanks to Lin Yan's meritorious service, he was able to avoid all these troubles. What about the others? Should we discuss the windshields? Should we discuss the patents for windproof building structures? And what other treasures will China bring us later? These are all treasures that are as useful to the Chieftain of Alian as the seeds. Does Lin Yan have to work hard to obtain each one?
Obviously, this is impossible.
They hoped that Martha and Lin Yan would have an equal relationship with each other - not in terms of mundane things like family status and wealth, but in terms of their feelings for each other!
This seed represents the countless conflicts of interest between the Chief of the Arab League and the Chinese government, which is equivalent to Lin Yan giving Martha a huge favor.
Even if Lin Yan himself doesn't care, they, as Martha's family members, must care!
If Martha continues to take the affairs of the Alian Emirates to heart, she will definitely receive more favors from Lin Yan in the future! The emotional status of the two is also destined to no longer be equal!
The affairs of the Arab Emirates are the responsibility of me, the elder brother, the first crown prince of the Arab Emirates, and the next generation of leaders! This responsibility should not, and will not allow my sister to sacrifice her feelings in exchange!
Martha, you just need to enjoy your trip. I, your brother, will take care of all the burdens for you!
