Bai Xiaoxiao could feel her blood boiling, so she stopped pretending to put on an act. She raised her head and said indignantly, “Ye Tianxin, what do you have to be proud of? You’re just relying on your good family background and someone doting on you. If Xie Xuning wasn’t your father, would you have become the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the moment you arrived? Do you think I’m the only one who has a problem with you? Let me tell you, it’s not just me. Many people also have issues with you.”
Tianxin wasn’t angry when she heard Bai Xiaoxiao’s words. Her smile became even more brilliant.
She was not stupid. Of course, she knew that some people had something against her.
With her qualifications, she would be criticized by everyone if she became the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In that case, it meant that she was under even more pressure. She had to perform better so that she would not let Ren Jianye down.
She admitted that without Ren Jianye as her guiding star, she would have taken many detours on her way to achieving her dream. It would take her much longer to get to where she wanted. However, that didn’t mean she couldn’t be a good diplomat.
“Bai Xiaoxiao, as you already know, Xie Xuning is my father. This is something that cannot be changed no matter what. When you see me riding on my father’s coattails and rising to prominence, do you see the hardships my father has to endure? Even if Xie Xuning wasn’t my father, I’ll still be the top scholar in the national college entrance examination. What about you? Bai Xiaoxiao, how could you be so narrow-minded? You only see my glory, but you don’t see how much effort I have put in for this glory. With your character and intelligence, would you be able to do well if you were the spokesperson instead?”
Bai Xiaoxiao was furious.
Ye Tianxin watched Bai Xiaoxiao’s face cloud with anger with a look of appreciation.
At this moment, Li Qingcang strode confidently into the office with his long legs.
“Tianxin, how are things going?”
Ye Tianxin’s eyes turned gentle when she heard Li Qincang’s voice. She chuckled and said, “Brother Li, I haven’t gotten off work yet.”
“I’ve asked Minister Ren about that. You’re not considered a full-time employee until tomorrow. Come on, I’ll take you somewhere. Let’s go!”
Li Qingcang reached out and held Ye Tianxin’s hand as they walked away from Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to chase after Li Qincang and ask him, “Li Qincang, do you have any idea what kind of woman Ye Tianxin is beneath her fa?ade?”
However, her legs seemed to be filled with lead; she could not bring herself to step forward at all.
She could only watch as the beautiful couple slowly walked away from her.
When she could no longer see Li Qincang and Ye Tianxin, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.
“Bai Xiaoxiao, Director Chen wants to see you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s direct superior was not Director Chen, but someone as busy and accomplished as Director Chen wanted to see her now. This was a bad sign.
After Bai Xiaoxiao tidied herself up and made herself look presentable, she walked into Director Chen’s office.
Director Chen was about 45 years old, but she took good care of herself. She looked like she was in her thirties instead of her forties. She glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao’s resume and calmly said, “Xiaoxiao, you’ve been in the News Division for two years.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale instantly. She instinctively knew that after today’s incident, she would no longer be part of the news department.
“Director Chen, are you trying to get me transferred out of the News Division?”
Director Chen replied, “Bai Xiaoxiao, every job serves a purpose and thus deserves respect. There are so many departments in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It’s because of all the departments’ responsibilities and them working together in harmony that we have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that you see today. If you have any opinions or grievances, you can raise them here...”
