Bab 80: 074 Haze Control Plan

That evening, Bai Zhongqi was invited to a state banquet. The underlying purpose of such occasions is often to foster personal relationships among high-ranking attendees on both sides, enhancing intimacy and thereby facilitating other work. Yet, for a state banquet between an Earth nation and an extraterrestrial one, the atmosphere was inevitably somewhat awkward. What to eat wasn't a big issue, the real challenge was what to talk about. Discuss the culture and customs of Country C? The Iridium Star Chancellor himself was born in Country C, so he likely knew everything there was to know. Talking about the culture and customs of Iridium Star would be interesting, but that depended on whether the Iridium Star side was willing to share.

Bai Zhongqi didn't wish to reveal too much about Iridium Star, as it was technically from another universe, a secret Earth still needed to keep. But considering the vastness of the Empire, there were plenty of inconsequential details to chat about.
