Whether in age or experience, she was far from qualifying for the position of press spokesperson.
“Tang Song, Minister Ren wasn’t joking with you, was he?”
“No, not at all. The Minister said that previous to this, Empire was not strong enough. After you officially join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and took office, the foreign policies of the Empire will change accordingly as well. The mantra that has long been believed by the spokespersons of the Foreign Ministry will no longer hold true either.”
Ye Tianxin asked curiously, “Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a mantra? What is it?”
“Watch closely, condemn strongly, and give warning seriously.”
What Tang Song told her was the mantra that had guided the spokespersons from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Empire in the early years.
Weak nations had no diplomacy to speak of. Whether a country was considered strong or not depended largely on its foreign ministry’s external strategies.
For many years in the past, Empire was not a very powerful nation. Most of the time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was all talk and no action. There was never any actual plan of attack.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was somewhat of a punching bag. Many people secretly complained that the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was nothing but a wuss. In reality, this was what determined whether a country was strong or weak.
Without the appropriate national strength to match, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had no choice but to resort to the mantra.
“Here is the information that Minister Ren asked me to bring to you.”
Ye Tianxin walked over slowly as she looked at the thick stack of documents that Tang Song brought over and flipped a few pages to see what they were. After she looked at these few pages of documents, she was convinced that the Minister was not joking!
“Minister Ren is not concerned about my pregnancy?”
Tang Song laughed as he said, “Tianxin, you should know that Minister Ren has already taken that into consideration. If you are not pregnant now, he may have already made the announcement a long time ago.”
Ye Tianxin thought that this was also something that Minister Ren might do.
Minister Ren was very passionate. This was obvious from the moment that he decided to appoint her for the position.
“That’s fine. Please tell the minister that I will do my best to live up to his expectations.”
Tang Song replied, “I’ll let him know. I’m leaving now, Tianxin, congratulations again on your marriage.”
Because Ye Tianxin was pregnant, Tang Song did not ask Ye Tianxin to walk him out. He went to the parking lot himself to pick up his car instead. He thought that Ye Tianxin looked to be in a good state so the rumors he heard from outside were not to be taken seriously.
He hoped that Ye Tianxin would get better soon. He was looking forward to the day when the two of them would work together.
After Tang Song left, Ye Tianxin threw herself into the documents given to her by Minister Ren.
She was fully focused on reading them. She did not even notice when it was getting late.
These materials were all about the important events in Empire’s diplomatic history, and most of them could not be divulged to the public.
Ye Tianxin flipped through these documents and thought that under the same circumstances, what would she do if she was the spokesperson?
“Tianxin, what are you looking at?”
When Li Qingcang came back from work, he grabbed Ye Tianxin and sat her down on his lap. Ye Tianxin put the documents away and replied, “Tang Song was here to deliver some documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Brother Li, Minister Ren wanted me to be the next spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
Li Qingcang rubbed Ye Tianxin’s little face with his chin and said, “Then our Tianxin has to be the most beautiful and the youngest press spokesperson ever.”
“Brother Li, I love it when you say things like that.”
