Xia Chuyi and her family prepare for the World Food Festival, but find the Korean delegation arguing with the Chinese delegation over venue placement. The Korean delegation demands to swap places, citing their country's perceived international standing.

The remarks made by the representative of the Korea delegation are simply outrageous.

Therefore, the translator from the Z delegation here suppressed his anger and argued with the opposite party, "Isn’t your H country a bit too much? The venue was arranged on a first-come, first-served basis, we arrived early, so we could have chosen the venue first."

The person from the Korea delegation immediately put on an arrogant demeanor and said, "But the invitation letter for the festival didn’t state that venues are chosen on a first-come, first-served basis."

"Since it’s not written in the invitation, there is no such rule," said the negotiator from the Korea delegation. "Therefore, our Da H Republic has the right to protest!"

"You’re being unreasonable!" The Z delegation’s translator was furious, "Henry Secretary, we also protest against the unfounded trouble caused by the H delegation!"

"Where are we..."

"You just..."

At this moment, the two delegations were quarreling.

On the side of the United States, Henry Secretary, who was in charge of the matter, looked rather troubled and said, "Oh, please, everyone, don’t argue, don’t argue!"

"Dear friends from H country and Z country, can you sit down and negotiate the matter properly?" Henry Secretary tried to mediate.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi already fully understood the entire situation.

"Negotiate?" Xia Chuyi approached the crowd, and said coldly, "The venue belongs to our Z country, why should we sit down and negotiate?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xia Chuyi and the others.

"Huo Shizhang, Mrs. Huo, you are finally back!" The staff from the Z delegation felt reassured upon seeing Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian.

"The people from H country are being excessive, they want to take over our venue!" said the translator angrily in Z country’s language.

To this, Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi both nodded.

"Yes, we are aware." Huo Shiqian calmly said to the translator.

Then, Huo Shiqian looked at Henry Secretary and said, "Mr. Henry, the venue was set by the United States as soon as we arrived."

"Now, someone is questioning it, questioning the fairness of the venue arrangement." Huo Shiqian said calmly, "May I ask, whose responsibility is this matter?"

As soon as Huo Shiqian spoke, he completely involved the United States, not allowing Henry Secretary to mediate the situation.

"This..." Henry Secretary began, "The venue arrangement is indeed according to the rules of first-come, first-served..."

"However..." Henry Secretary glanced at the Korea delegation and said, "If you privately negotiate and agree to exchange venues, we have no objections."

This means they won’t handle the protest from H country.

So, they don’t care as long as the venue for Z country is fine, and if H country wants to change it, they can.

In short, not their concern, keep it at arm’s length.

Henry Secretary’s attitude left the Z delegation very displeased.

"Privately negotiate and agree for it to be acceptable?" At that moment, Huo Shiqian coldly said, "Well, we disagree."

Huo Shiqian straightforwardly threw out this sentence.

"Hey, how can your Z country be so selfish?" Upon hearing Huo Shiqian’s words, the Korea delegation immediately said, "Most of your Z country’s food is either fried or sautéed, where is it as rich as our Korean food?"

"At this World Food Festival, we, Asia, are in the same region, so we are one, hence, you should give the good position to us to shine for Asia!"
