Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1396
Chapter 1396: Unconvinced
Everyone loved and doted on such a hardworking lady.
He Yi was the happiest among all to witness such a harmonious scene. “My little junior, you are far more popular than me in the ministry. Each new generation excels the previous indeed.”
He Yi earned the respect of colleagues in the department due to his competence and his position as the minister. As for Qiao Nan, it was due to her charisma and down-to-earth and hardworking personality that made her so well-liked by all of them.
Qiao Nan raised her eyebrows at He Yi’s joke. “Senior, you flattered me. Everyone takes extra care of me as I am the youngest. It is different in your case. You earned their respect due to your competence. We will need you to guide us to do the country proud.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs played a significant role in the country and to the people.
Qiao Nan always bore in mind that she carried a heavy burden on her shoulders. Since she was in this position, she had to try her best to complete her tasks to the best of her ability.
He Yi smiled with satisfaction and did not make further comments. He ignored Deng Wenchang who looked sinister and walked to his office in light footsteps. If a newcomer was well-liked by the other colleagues, the newcomer had to be mindful not to show off one’s accomplishments and capabilities in front of the older colleagues. It was better to be humble so as to gain people’s affection.
There was no need for him to remind his little junior and she knew what to do. She did not put on airs just because she was the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family.
After working with Qiao Nan, He Yi grew to understand what made his master changed his mind to come back to the capital. His master was already advanced in years. He had stepped down from the front line and even refused to stay in the capital. However, he took in Qiao Nan as his disciple and was willing to return to the capital to pave the path and make all necessary arrangements for his disciple.
The young lady was well-liked and she was his little junior. He Yi would stand to gain from his relationship with her.
Qiao Nan felt like a duck to water in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In comparison, Deng Wenchang appeared to be miserable and desolate.
Deng Wenchang’s anger and displeasure seemed like a volcano that was close to eruption. The lava was scorching hot and boiling. “Hehehe…” Deng Wenchang sneered at how nice the older colleagues were treating Qiao Nan. However, he could no longer say that Qiao Nan was sucking up to them. It was obvious that they were sucking up to Qiao Nan instead. “You are indeed capable!”
Before Deng Wenchang joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he dreamed that he would be given special treatment when he was there. He was young and promising. He returned from overseas study and was capable. He should be given important tasks after joining the ministry. He Yi would take him in as his disciple and he would groom him to be his successor.
Deng Wenchang envisioned that he would be given the special treatment that Qiao Nan enjoyed now.
But right now, although he was young and promising, he was being given the cold shoulder, while Qiao Nan, who was a normal local college graduate, was being taken care of and well-liked by her colleagues. Deng Wenchang was so enraged that he was almost driven to his grave.
Could it be that the entire ministry was blind in the eyes and the heart to highly value Qiao Nan instead of him? He agreed that Qiao Nan had performed exceptionally well in several assignments. But those were merely written work. In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, one still had to engage in verbal banter with the foreign diplomats.
