Chapter 1409 Celebrate the Victory

He did not expect himself to lose to Qiao Nan, who did nothing. It was all because she was relatives with the ambassador couple.

If he had known that Qiao Nan and the ambassador couple were relatives, he would not have indulged in the fantasy of making use of this opportunity to subdue Qiao Nan fully and prove himself to everyone. If he had known that this was the case, he would certainly change his plan, make use of Qiao Nan, and make the ambassador couple focus their attention on him.

In that case, the situation of the ambassador couple pulling Qiao Nan to the side and chatting about everything under the sun today would not occur. He was like an invisible figure who stood foolishly by the side, watching Qiao Nan slowly rob away the limelight that belonged to him.

After thinking, Deng Wenchang felt that the word ‘insidious’ could not completely describe Qiao Nan’s despicable nature. If heaven had eyes, he should not let a scum like Qiao Nan continue to live in the world and be a stumbling block to others.

Deng Wenchang very much wished that what the elders in his family said about heaven’s retribution was true. In that case, heaven could bestow lightning and turn Qiao Nan into wooden ashes with one strike. Henceforth, he would be rid of all worries and no longer troubled by Qiao Nan.

“...”

“Aiyo, isn’t this considered sour grapes?”

“Wrong. It’s not just the problem of sour or sweet grapes. Xiao Qiao clearly said that she is someone with grapes. Some comrades are proud and arrogant, looking at others with their nostrils. If they don’t have it, they think that others can’t have it as well!”

After someone reminded, many people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recalled Qiao Nan’s shocked expression when she first saw the photo of the ambassador couple. From her expression then, it was obvious that she knew the two people in the photo.

However, no one really believed Qiao Nan at that time. In particular, Deng Wenchang even mocked at Qiao Nan with disdain and sarcasm. He told Qiao Nan not to use such a foolish method to make herself look good as it would be too shameless.

Today’s matter had proved that Qiao Nan was not praising herself. She really knew the ambassador couple personally. Besides that, they were on very good terms.

Qiao Nan had told them the situation but Deng Wenchang did not believe it. He even mocked Qiao Nan. Now, he was so sarcastic in his words to Qiao Nan. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Deng Wenchang’s words conveyed his extreme jealousy. He was not behaving like a man. “I remember that some people not only generate such words but also behave in an ugly manner. Sometimes, I really doubt that, between someone and Comrade Xiao Qiao, who is the man and who is the woman.”

There were many people watching them, and Qiao Nan’s behavior was gracious, earnest, and down-to-earth.

On the contrary, Deng Wenchang was spoiled, sensitive, and had excessive pride. He felt that all the seniors in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should fawn on him and nurture him to become the next leader of the department. In addition, they had to help and support him unconditionally in any matter. If anything did not go his way, he would flare up immediately and show a black face. In addition, he was very narrow-minded. He would bear a grudge and find ways to seek revenge.

They rarely encountered such newbies.

They recalled the times when they first joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They were very courteous and respectful when interacting with their seniors. No one behaved like Deng Wenchang, who looked down on one and detested another. It was as if besides the minister, Deng Wenchang was the only human left in the entire department. At the sight of that behavior, one could not help flaring up no matter how big-hearted they were.

A grown-up man competed with a young lady but he refused to admit defeat after losing. He was utterly shameless. If Deng Wenchang was the young lad in their family, they would definitely take a cane and beat this brat to death.

To begin with, everyone felt positive about Qiao Nan and was dissatisfied with Deng Wenchang putting on airs. After today’s matter, everyone could not stand Deng Wenchang any further. “Minister He, the few of us have always felt that a ‘talent’ like Comrade Xiao Deng should go somewhere else that is more suitable for him. In this way, he will be able to shine and contribute to our country then.”

In other words, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not suitable for Deng Wenchang at all. It was fine if Deng Wenchang continued to stay here and waste his own time. However, it was too unethical of him to add on to their woes.

Deng Wenchang’s face instantly turned red. Naturally, he understood the implied meaning in these words. He was so furious that he glared at the other party with reddened eyes. At the sight of this, the other party felt the urge to beat him up again. This was a grown-up man. Forget it if he could not win against a young lady. Was he so thin-skinned that he could not even take criticism despite his lack of capability? Was this kind of man still considered a man? It was truly an embarrassment to men.

“Hahaha, no matter what, it is a triumphant first battle for the newbie in our department. Let me give everyone a treat tonight!” Of course, He Yi wanted very much to kick Deng Wenchang out.

However, that shameless cheap shot of Deng Wenchang today did not manage to harm Qiao Nan. Instead, he became Qiao Nan’s accessory. He was the thrown-out brick that lured the gem out. He Yi was in a very good mood today. Although debts had to be repaid, at the very least, it would not be today. It could be tomorrow or the day after. They should celebrate the happy occasion first.

“Xiao Qiao, given your situation at home, can you attend?” He Yi added. At the thought that Qiao Nan was a mother and the three children at home were only three years old, He Yi was hit by a wave of guilt after suggesting the celebration. He had no choice. His own master had been keeping a watch on him.

If he dared to make the three babies cry when looking for their mother, his master would make him cry and look for his wife. However, words that were spoken could not be retracted anymore.

He was already of this age and could be a grandfather in a few years. No matter what, he could not embarrass himself at this moment. He had to endure. Although spoken words were akin to spilled water, he had to wipe it clean and then squeeze them back into the basin!

Everything revolved around the triplets in Qiao Nan’s house. They were the most important ones.

Qiao Nan was amused as she could tell the nervousness beneath He Yi’s eyes. She did not know what her master had told Senior He such that her senior was so nervous when wanting to treat her to a meal. “Minister He, don’t worry. I will make a call home. No issue.”

After all, she was a formal employee now. In order to maintain the harmonious relationship between colleagues, it was necessary to have adequate social interaction. Ever since she was a permanent employee, Qiao Nan had gradually communicated to the triplets to make them understand that occasionally, and under very low frequency, she might be home a little late for one or two days.

However, she promised them that she would definitely be home before they sleep to tell them a bedtime story and coax them to sleep.
