1408 Discerning Judgment That Could Differentiate Greatness from Mediocrity

“How did little junior do it? Master, I don’t know too. Actually, little junior knows the amba.s.sador couple personally. If it did not have anything to do with you, then little junior…” Where did this interpersonal network and such fortune come from?

Lin Yuankang stroked his mustache. “This did not have anything to do with me or the Zhai family. After thinking, it seems that none of those by Nan Nan’s side can help her with it. I have already said before that this little junior of yours is very capable. It is possible that Nan Nan got to know the amba.s.sador couple herself and not through anyone.”

The corners of He Yi’s mouth twitched. He felt that his master’s words were a little unrealistic. Although He Yi said that, there was a hidden voice in his heart that agreed with Lin Yuankang’s words.

Tsk. What exactly did his little junior do to become so close to the amba.s.sador couple?

Seeing as He Yi could not figure this out, all the more Deng Wenchang could not either.

Qiao Nan was chatting enthusiastically with the amba.s.sador couple. The trio even behaved as if this was their home, laughing out loud from time to time unreservedly and without a care for their image. At the sight of this, Deng Wenchang almost had the urge to vomit blood.

No wonder. It was no wonder that there was no slightest bit of action at the Zhai family for the past week. Qiao Nan also did not look for anyone’s help to gather more information about the amba.s.sador couple. So, the truth was that Qiao Nan was already very familiar with them. Under such circ.u.mstances, would the information gathered by others be more accurate than what was in Qiao Nan’s stomach?

One had to know that at this moment, only what was in Qiao Nan’s stomach had the final correct answer.

Deng Wenchang could not help grinding his teeth. Considering this, was Qiao Nan cheating? She was like a family to the amba.s.sador couple. Under this pretext, it would be bizarre if he could be of any help in this matter!

He Yi and Qiao Nan were clearly fooling and toying with him!

Qiao Nan. It must be Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan did it on purpose!

Deng Wenchang was stomaching his fury, looking like he was about to explode. The raging fire in his heart could not be extinguished no matter what. At this moment, it looked like it was going to break out anytime.

Fortunately, the happy conversation between the amba.s.sador couple and Qiao Nan ended.

Qiao Nan hugged the amba.s.sador’s wife again and looked at the other party’s tummy with gentleness in her eyes. After telling her to take care, the other party responded with an extremely heart-warming and happy smile. Without the need for Qiao Nan to prompt, the moment his wife stood up, the amba.s.sador immediately reached out his hands and held onto his wife.

It was only until when Qiao Nan personally sent them to the car and closed the door that the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs team regained their senses.

When everyone gradually recovered from their incredulity, they moved forward to Qiao Nan and surrounded her.

“Come, come, come. Xiao Qiao, shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”

“Right, tell us clearly about your relations.h.i.+p with the amba.s.sador couple. We have been colleagues for so long, but why haven’t I heard you mention that you have relatives overseas, or who in your family is staying abroad and even have connections with such figures?”

Do not think that they were blind. It was obvious that from the way the amba.s.sador couple looked at Qiao Nan, they treated her like their own niece.

If Qiao Nan did not have any relations.h.i.+p with them, how could such a situation occur?

It was obvious that there was something fishy.

Having been surrounded by many uncles, with everyone acting like reporters and throwing loads of questions at her, Qiao Nan was only short of having a bunch of microphones in front of her, and she could look like a famous celebrity being interviewed. “What overseas relatives? How is it possible that my relatives are overseas?”

The amba.s.sador couple was related to her?

Between the three of them, it was obviously so distant and unrelated.

“I don’t believe it. Look at how close the three of you are. To say that you are not related… You can ask any of us here. Who will believe your words? Confess to us honestly.”

“Xiao Qiao, honestly confess or be treated with hostility!”

“Minister, quickly come over. Aren’t you going to say a few words to Xiao Qiao?”

“Coming.” He Yi swayed forward with a proud look on his face. One year ago, he was the one who insisted on letting his little junior intern at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At that time, everyone had a strong sense of revulsion toward Deng Wenchang. In the end, if Deng Wenchang had not graduated from a renowned college in America, they would not even be willing to agree to his interns.h.i.+p.

Who would have known that it was not enough to have one newbie? The minister also pulled in another local student who had not even graduated. Was he not messing around?

Everyone was not very approving of it, but He Yi had already made up his mind. Hence, they only dared to keep the negative comments to themselves. It was great now. Today’s matter was enough to prove Qiao Nan’s capability, and certainly, He Yi’s judgment was not poor.

Everyone was looking at He Yi in a different light. The minister was indeed the minister. He had a discerning sense of judgment that could differentiate greatness from mediocrity. Although today’s problem was not a huge one to begin with, it was much easier to settle some matters where friends were concerned. This was considered a good thing for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Well, everyone had seen for themselves that the other party had such a great att.i.tude toward Qiao Nan. They completely treated her as their junior. Fortunately, the relations.h.i.+p between the two countries was not too tense. If the two countries had any interaction in the future, as long as this amba.s.sador was coming, everyone felt that they did not need to work so hard. The other party would not take the chance to use all ways and means or wield a big knife to mercilessly slash a huge piece of flesh from China.

“Xiao Qiao, give us an explanation, please. What is happening? However, if it’s not convenient for you to tell, all of us will understand too.” It might not be convenient for his little junior to tell everyone. However, given his relations.h.i.+p with her, they could have a private talk on this.

Yes, yes. This method is excellent and problem-free.

“Hmph, some people are so insidious. She clearly knows them as a family, yet she never told the people in the department about it. She watched her colleagues work so hard and so nervously for the sake of this visit, while she lazed around at the side, looking at us like we’re some jokes. I really don’t understand why a united department like ours has such a selfish person!”

Deng Wenchang’s voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e as if his throat had been torn. It gave others strange and uneasy vibes.

However, the change in his voice did not muddle others. Everyone could tell who he was directing the words at.

Deng Wenchang was putting the blame on Qiao Nan.

Blame? Could he not blame her?!

Deng Wenchang had worked hard for so many days and spent so much time and energy so that he could complete this mission with flying colors. He wanted to subdue Qiao Nan and prove to everyone that he was, in fact, the most outstanding one.
