Half an hour later, Shen Kang came to pick up Lu Jihan and Song Yinyin.

Once they were in the car, Song Yinyin borrowed a laptop from Shen Kang and started doing some homework—she went online to research information about S Country and its President.

Seeing her absorbed and a bit nervous as she focused intently on the laptop, seemingly oblivious to everything outside, Lu Jihan couldn’t help but smile.

"Hmm, not bad, you actually thought to prepare ahead."

"Of course!" Song Yinyin pouted, "I’m cramming at the last minute. Otherwise, if I say something wrong or do something wrong, it’ll be embarrassing for you."

Lu Jihan broke into a smile, lightly lifted his lashes, and asked, "What have you found out?"

"Um, not much, just a little bit."

Song Yinyin pointed to the content on the laptop and read word by word:

"S Country, located in the northwest part of South America, was formerly part of the Ancient Inca Empire, with its Capital in Eldo. It borders the Caribbean Sea to the east and the North Pacific to the west, boasting over a thousand kilometers of coastline. Forty percent of the country’s territory is covered by primordial forest, home to diverse flora and fauna. For five consecutive years, Forbes has rated it the best country in the world to retire in..."

"The Equatorial Monument within S Country, regarded as the center of the Earth, is a must-see for tourists. The Yalong Islands, known for their unique ecosystems, are dubbed a living museum of biological evolution and declared a natural human heritage by UNESCO..."

After reading earnestly, Song Yinyin nodded and sighed, "This country must be very beautiful. I’d really love to have a chance to visit."

Next, she began searching for information about the President of S Country.

Unfortunately, there were no pictures of the President online, only a few details were available.

Though scant, the information was extremely helpful to Song Yinyin.

She began reading attentively.

Halfway through, she couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Turns out, this isn’t the first time their President has come to the Imperial City."

"Oh, really?"

Even Lu Jihan was taken aback by this.

Song Yinyin nodded and read out the information she found —

"Their President is named Shi Mai’er, who visited the Imperial City more than twenty years ago. However, Shi Mai’er was the Foreign Minister of S Country at that time."

Lu Jihan nodded slightly, listening intently and waiting for her to continue.

Song Yinyin went on:

"He once visited the Imperial City for an educational tour and seems to have a particular fondness for education. Although he only stayed for three days, his schedule was packed. He not only gave speeches and exchanged views with university students but also visited an Orphanage in the suburbs and provided some material assistance to the children there..."

After reading the information on the laptop, an image of a kindly old man had formed in Song Yinyin’s mind.

With greying hair but elegant demeanor, a friendly face, and a gentle smile. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Reading on, Song Yinyin was surprised again: "Oh, this former Foreign Minister and current President can also play the piano very well."

"Really?"

Lu Jihan smiled and raised his hand to gently hold Song Yinyin’s hand, saying, "Looks like you’ll have a shared language of communication with him then."

"Absolutely. Now I don’t have to worry about having nothing to say to His Excellency the President."

Song Yinyin nodded and let out a sigh, filled with anticipation for the evening meeting.
