Chapter 1407 They Really Know Each Other

Deng Wenchang did not genuinely want Qiao Nan to follow by his side and pick up the achievements in the passing. It was because he dared not do anything to Qiao Nan. If he could, Deng Wenchang would not only make Qiao Nan miss this event but also simply evict her from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That would resolve all his worries at one go.

In front of the foreign ambassador, Deng Wenchang was so brazen and fearless with this cheap trick of his. He was not at all worried that He Yi would make him leave since that would put the country in an awkward position in front of the foreign ambassador.

After shaking his hands with the couple, Deng Wenchang introduced himself. When he saw that the ambassador couple did not feel any revulsion toward him, Deng Wenchang then specially mentioned that he had been to the United Kingdom before when he was studying overseas.

He had a deep impression of the United Kingdom and even praised it for being a wonderful country.

When Deng Wenchang felt that he had established enough presence in front of the couple and won a positive first impression, he gently stepped aside as if he had just recalled that Qiao Nan was behind him. “Please allow me to introduce…”

“Oh, Qiao!” Just as Deng Wenchang moved slightly, revealing Qiao Nan behind him, and before he could finish his introduction, the ambassador couple widened their eyes in a pleasant surprise. They then opened their arms and walked to Qiao Nan.

With a gracious and radiant smile, Qiao Nan also opened her arms and hugged the ambassador couple. They even kissed each other on the cheeks. “I miss both of you too. Thank you very much for the previous matter.”

“…”

“…”

The group from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gaped in shock as they watched the close interactions between Qiao Nan and the ambassador couple. Some of their jaws dropped so much they could barely retract them.

He Yi raised his brow, his eyes shining brightly. When they were in the department previously, his little junior’s expression did seem to reveal that she knew this new ambassador couple personally. So, this matter was true?

He Yi was elated over the situation. He felt that it was useless no matter how hard Deng Wenchang worked. Deng Wenchang would definitely become Qiao Nan’s accessory today. When Deng Wenchang saw the situation, he stared blankly at Qiao Nan and the ambassador couple hugging and cheek-kissing. That affectionate behavior looked as though they were visiting relatives during the Lunar New Year. One would be able to feel the sincerity from the other party without even using their hearts.

Next, he saw Qiao Nan chatting with the couple as if they were old friends. They were no longer talking about national affairs and the two countries’ relationship. On the contrary, they were on common topics and showing concern for the recent happenings in each other’s lives. Deng Wenchang had directly transformed into wind, blown until he turned into dust and could not be pieced together anymore.

Damn! No one told him that Qiao Nan had relatives overseas!

Damn! No one told him that Qiao Nan’s overseas relatives were coincidentally the ambassador couple today.

Damn! Who told him before that Qiao Nan had never studied abroad and did not step out of the country once, that Qiao Nan’s maternal family was at the bottom of the ranks, and they were more ordinary than ever?

All this wrong information… Damn! Who told him?!

Deng Wenchang had taken too many blows. Seemingly struck by thunder, he could not recover his senses for a long time and almost needed to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Qiao Nan was on very close terms with the ambassador couple. They were chatting smoothly and amiably. Under such an extremely harmonious atmosphere, a typical person did not even have a chance to interrupt them with one or two sentences!

Since Qiao Nan and the ambassador couple were chatting so happily, why would they need another person by Qiao Nan’s side to keep the ambassador couple company? Qiao Nan alone would be more than sufficient to settle the couple.

In addition, the content of their conversation was too run-of-the-mill. How would typical people know the lifestyle of these two new ambassador couple? What could they talk to them about? Weather?!

The other people were not bothered. The person in the most embarrassing state such that he could dig a hole and bury himself in it was, of course, Deng Wenchang. Deng Wenchang was partnering with Qiao Nan to complete this mission. At present, Qiao Nan could settle this alone. In that case, Deng Wenchang only needed to sit by the side, drink some tea, watch Qiao Nan take the lead, and glory and thrash him.

Deng Wenchang gnashed his teeth. Feeling indignant, he lifted his foot and moved forward. He had to give it a try and force his way through even if he could not interrupt them successfully. No matter what, he could not let Qiao Nan snatch all the jobs. He would seem like a freeloader then.

However, before Deng Wenchang could make that step, he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He Yi, the owner of the hand, smiled. “Looking at the current situation, Xiao Qiao can completely handle the situation at hand. Xiao Qiao and the ambassador couple are already so immersed in their chat. It’s best that other people don’t interrupt the three of them. Otherwise, they will inevitably feel uneasy with the unfamiliarity. We can lose anything except for face, especially those of our own people. Xiao Deng, do you agree?”

It was seldom that his little junior would wield her power and amaze everyone with a single brilliant feat. She performed so well that everyone else was surprised. Of course, He Yi had to think of ways to protect Qiao Nan and not let others spoil such a stellar performance.

After the ambassador couple returned to the embassy, he had to look for and talk to his little junior. How exactly did she get to know the ambassador couple?

At this moment, He Yi did not link this situation to his master, Lin Yuankang, at all. This was because he knew that the couple had never been on Lin Yuankang’s list of friends. This couple was not very young. They were older than Qiao Nan by slightly more than ten years. However, to an elder like Lin Yuankang, the ambassador couple belonged to a much younger generation. As such, it was impossible that the two parties had any interaction before.

In that case, of course, Qiao Nan’s striking performance today did not have anything to do with Lin Yuankang.

Without his master’s connections and the Zhai family’s help, how did his little junior get to know the ambassador couple?

Regarding this, before he received an answer from the horse’s mouth, He Yi could not figure it out despite much thinking. He secretly exclaimed in his heart that this little junior of his was simply a rare gem.

There certainly would not be any problem at Qiao Nan’s end now. He Yi instructed the rest of the people to pay attention while he quietly left and made a call to the Lin family’s residence. “Hello, master, it’s me. Don’t worry. Little junior performed excellently. There is no problem at all. Mmm, with Deng Wenchang’s temperament, how could he not act smart? However, little junior is very quick-witted. No matter how Deng Wenchang plots against her, it is not possible for him to succeed.”
