Yu Zenan walked closer to his eldest brother and saw that he was focusing his attention on the TV news.
In the news, the current president appears in the public eye in good condition, everything is planned out and the situation is under his control.
Yu Zeyao frowned. He didn't expect that Bai Yeqing was so lucky.
"Brother, I'm asking you!" Yu Zenan waved his hand in front of him, "You haven't told me yet, what's so special about Xia Xingchen that I have to deal with her personally."
"It's not about getting her, it's about marrying her!" Yu Zeyao took the remote control, turned off the TV, and replied to his brother seriously.
Yu Zenan raised his eyebrows, "She is not some rich girl, her father is just a mayor. Will you let me marry her?"
"Then do you know who her mother is?"
"Mother? You mean that Li something... I haven't read the information you gave me carefully."
"That's just her stepmother. Eight years ago, Madam Lanting asked me to find her daughter in Country S. I spent eight years searching and finally found some clues."
Yu Zenan was surprised: "You mean... Xia Xingchen is Madam Lanting's daughter?"
"Indeed."
Who is Madam Lanting? She is from Country S, but she is also a well-known figure in the international community. Now in the United Nations, she controls the military and political lifelines of many countries.
"I didn't expect that little woman had such a background. Doesn't she know it herself?"
"She was also left behind, so naturally she doesn't know. I haven't mentioned this matter to Madam Lanting yet."
"Why not?"
"Wait until you marry her and officially make her a member of our Yu family. Otherwise, once her background is made public, all men may become your rivals in love, including Bai Yeqing."
Yu Zenan snorted disapprovingly, "I say, Vice President Yu, you have too little confidence in your brother, don't you? Even if everyone in Country S becomes my rival in love, including Bai Yeqing, it is not a problem for me to win her over with my charm."
"Stop bragging to me! If you have nothing else to do, just go and have fun. I have plenty to do."
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. But don't forget what I told you." Yu Zenan repeatedly instructed.
If that little woman knew that she had her lost job back, she would definitely be happy, right
Yu Zenan was in a good mood when he remembered the agreement he had made with her to meet in ten days. He was just counting the days on his fingers these days.
… … …
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs never expected to receive two important calls in a row. Moreover, both calls were directed to Xia Xingchen.
One is that the Presidential Office requested that she be given another assessment opportunity; the other is that the Vice President requested that she be allowed to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly without even having to take the assessment.
The head of the personnel department was shocked and pulled out Xia Xingchen's information and looked at it again and again. What kind of powerful woman is this, who can have such a big face and make the president and vice president come out
However, looking at her from the front and back, from top to bottom, I couldn't see anything special about her except that she looked a little better than ordinary people.
This way.
Xia Xingchen had just returned to the Presidential Palace and packed up his things when he received a call from the head of the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was flattered.
"You mean... I can go back and take the test now?"
"Yes, Miss Xia. However, if you don't want to take the test, you can come in directly."
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you take the test or not. No matter what the result is, in the end it's just one word: pass!
The most powerful people from both sides called, who dared to stop her? Wouldn't that be courting death
"No, of course I have to take the test. But I want to ask, I didn't take the test last time and was disqualified. How can I go back again this time?"
"You don't need to ask this. We just received the notice from above."
The notification above
Xia Xingchen wondered, could it be Bai Yeqing
Could it be... that he really called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of such a trivial matter as mine
However, even if he really made the call, it was just to make up for himself!
Xia Xingchen thought of his cold and distant words that day, and she still felt a little empty in her heart. For a moment, she couldn't figure out what this feeling was.
… … … …
night.
She sent Xia Dabai to the children's room to sleep, took a bath, and sat on the bed to read. She would go to take the formal examination tomorrow.
Since he gave her this chance again, she must seize it and didn't want him to look down on her.
only…
It's already past 9 o'clock in the evening, but he hasn't come back yet.
He stood in front of the media for two hours today, and he didn't know if his body could take it.
During those two hours, Xia Xingchen never took her eyes off the TV, watching the live broadcast. Her heart was hanging in her throat, as if it would jump out at any time. When the live broadcast ended, she finally felt relieved.
Could it be that he is planning not to return to the Presidential Palace tonight
Just as Xia Xingchen was thinking this, several beams of strong light shone into the window outside the door.
She stood up almost immediately and walked barefoot to the window. When she looked, she saw that it was indeed his motorcade driving into the mansion.
Xia Xingchen quickly opened the door and walked out, and in a few hurried steps he reached the stairs. Halfway up the stairs, he came in, followed by Leng Fei and his group.
As if they were telepathic, or maybe just a coincidence, he raised his head slightly and his eyes met the worried look she was casting at him from the stairs.
"Ms. Xia, are you still awake so late?" Leng Fei greeted her first.
Only then did she realize that she was too nervous and ran out without even bothering to put on her shoes.
Would he think that she was ridiculous? Or would he feel burdened
His eyes were still fixed on her, making her feel quite uncomfortable. In the end, she just smiled at Leng Fei and made an excuse for herself: "I was just reading a book and was thirsty, so I wanted to come down to get a glass of water. I didn't expect you to come back."
"Let the servants do the work of pouring water." Bai Yeqing answered with a lukewarm tone. He turned around and ordered, "Send a glass of water upstairs to Miss Xia."
"Yes, Mr. President."
The servant received the order and hurried to the kitchen. This way, Xia Xingchen seemed to have no reason to stay any longer.
She said "thank you" awkwardly, turned around and went upstairs again. Compared to her hurried pace just now, this time her steps were much slower.
Leng Fei and his companions did not stay in the Presidential Palace for long and left soon.
Bai Yeqing was tired, so he sent all the servants away and sat alone in the hall. There was no one else around, and only then did his face show a look of pain besides fatigue.
