After all, being born into a major country, Cheng Ziang had grown up watching the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confront foreign media, and was naturally very sensitive to this kind of diplomatic insult. So as soon as he entered the living room, he immediately spotted the problem.
In fact, Zisu seemed somewhat numb to this tactic and had not raised enough guard. If she hadn't noticed and sat down, then when she faced the old man across the negotiating table, she would inexplicably feel as though she were inferior, which is actually a classic psychological attack.
Cheng Ziang felt that, in such diplomatic settings, one had to be constantly mindful of their words and behaviors to avoid falling into the other side's trap and suffering losses without even realizing it.
The ancient story of Yan Zi's visit to Chu follows the same principle. It might seem trivial to others, but for Cheng Ziang, these minor losses were absolutely unacceptable.
