Chapter 1956: Who Does She Think She Is?!

“Wasn’t it because you targeted Xiaoxiao the moment you got here?” The woman said with great enthusiasm, “It’s all because of you that Xiaoxiao was transferred from the News Division. Ye Tianxin, don’t think that you can slide your way up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just because of your fancy background.”
Fang Nan stood up for Ye Tianxin and said solemnly, “My fellow colleague, I’m afraid you’re the one who has misunderstood the situation. It was Bai Xiaoxiao who has been stirring up trouble and, therefore, was transferred away from the News Division. Although I don’t know what Bai Xiaoxiao has told you, think about it, why would our Tianxin here need to target her? She must think too highly of herself.”
Fang Nan surprised Ye Tianxin when she stood up for her. Director Chen, on the other hand, probably wanted Bai Xiaoxiao to be her secretary yesterday, after giving it some thought.
It’s just… Who’d have guessed that Bai Xiaoxiao and Ye Tianxin would have a sour relationship from the start?
Bai Xiaoxiao could not possibly become Ye Tianxin’s secretary after that, thus the News Division could not maintain such a problem on the payroll.
“I’m talking to Ye Tianxin. Who are the hell are you to stand in my way?”
Fang Nan stood in front of Ye Tianxin. She wasn’t stupid, and she wasn’t going to show her feelings as blatantly as Bai Xiaoxiao did. It’s true, she could not deny that Ye Tianxin had become a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire at a very young age.
There was a teeny bit of jealousy in her heart, but it was also just that very teeny bit because she had seen the way Ye Tianxin stood in front of the camera so graciously quoting proverbial references to support her arguments.
Her presence was breathtaking and awe-inspiring. Fang Nan realized she could never be as spectacular as Ye Tianxin if they were changed places and given the same stage to show off their abilities.
“I’m Ye Tianxin’s secretary, and if you have any concerns, you are welcome to register a complaint through the appropriate channels.”
Fang Nan grabbed Ye Tianxin’s arm and dragged her away after she completed her speech. Fang Nan took Ye Tianxin to the food vendors to buy their lunch because she knew she was pregnant and shouldn’t go hungry.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ cafeteria was self-serve. At the ministry’s cafeteria, taking as much as you could eat was the noble custom, and food waste was frowned upon. After putting food on their plates, Ye Tianxin and Fang Nan sat down at a table to have their lunch.
Ye Tianxin had become the lady of the moment at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the aftermath of yesterday’s tragedy. Every other person in the cafeteria was secretly admiring Ye Tianxin.
“I appreciate your assistance back there.”
It was only right that Ye Tianxin should thank Fang Nan for defending her.
“I’m your secretary, Tianxin, and I had to safeguard you since your unexpected presence at such a high position is likely to make some people envious.”
Ye Tianxin smiled and said nothing.
Fang Nan continued, “But not me. I saw your press conference yesterday. You were amazing out there.”
“It wasn’t a perfect score, so I have to say, I have my reservations.”
Ye Tianxin thought of how the minister had only given her a 99 out of 100. She was still one mark away from perfection, which meant she needed to further improve herself.
The two were eating silently when suddenly, both Ye Tianxin and Fang Nan’s phones rang at the same time, and they both answered their phones simultaneously.
“Ye Tianxin, please return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately.”
“Fang Nan, please find Ye Tianxin and take her back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
The two calls delivered the same message, and Ye Tianxin and Fang Nan handed over their food trays to the kitchen staff on the spot, then the two of them took the elevator back to the office of the News Division.
“Sir, did something happen?”
Director Chen asked Ye Tianxin to study the video on the computer. It was a video taken by their local patrol aircraft while soaring above Empire’s territorial waters. In the video, a local fishing boat was caught crashing into a reef, sending dozens of fishermen into the sea.
