Chapter 1990: Tianxin, I need you!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Ye Tianxin joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she did not go through the relevant procedures for joining it. However, because of the unique nature of the press secretary, Ye Tianxin was known not only around the country but the world as the press secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire.
If Ye Tianxin wanted to resign, she had to obtain the approval of the director and the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“Tianxin, you just joined us. Why did you quit? I think you’re doing a great job as a press secretary.”
Li Qingcang was about to become President of the Empire, or at least he was going to very soon. Of course, Ye Tianxin couldn’t have just told her that. Instead, she said to Director Chen, “Ma’am, I am resigning for personal reasons.”
Director Chen desperately wanted to keep someone as talented as Ye Tianxin. She said, “Tianxin. if you think that the working hours are too long for your body to bear, you don’t have to come to work in the Ministry of foreign affairs every day. Fang Nan will tell you everything you need to know at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Tianxin, you have to understand the position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The minister fought all odds to make you the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It’s unrealistic for you to leave after just a week.”
Ye Tianxin looked sad as she said, “I’ll be taking maternity leave soon!”
“In that case, you take maternity leave first, then propose to resign afterward.” Director Chen came up with a more perfect solution.
Ye Tianxin shook her head and said, “Then I’ll leave after taking maternity leave and go to work for a while.”
Ye Tianxin thought about it in her mind for a while. The election result was expected to be finalized almost after her confinement. At that time, it would make sense for Ye Tianxin to reside.
“Good.” Director Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Tianxin said with a sweet smile, “Ma’am, I can’t do it when I’m on maternity leave. I have to set a good example for all women. I’m leaving for personal reasons, but I don’t want people to think I’m self-indulgent because I’m pregnant, or maybe the Ministry of Foreign Affairs won’t let me take maternity leave. I am a public figure, so I had to think about what implications my actions might have for others.”
Director Chen never thought about this issue until Ye Tianxin brought it up. She said, “The employment environment for women has been very bad for a long time, so we have to work hard to change it.”
“Yes, Ma’am. Please take care of me during this time.”
“Okay.”
Ye Tianxin called Li Qingcang when she returned to her office. She said on the phone, “Brother Li, I can’t quit my job today.”
Li Qingcang asked, “Why?”
“I’m so talented that Director Chen doesn’t want me to leave. I feel proud of that; our country needs me.”
Li Qingcang laughed lightly and said, “I need you the most.”
“Brother Li, you’re getting so good at sweet-talking that my bones are melting!”
Li Qingcang’s stern eyebrows were tinged with a touch of gentle color. He said, “Tianxin, I meant what I said. I love you.”
He was genuinely in love with her. He loved her so much that he just wanted to be with her. The whole world was not as important as her.
“I love you too!”
After the two hung up the phone, Gu Yancheng looked at Li Qingcang in front of him.
His heart ached badly. God made him remember everything but didn’t give him a chance. By the time he remembered his mistake, she was already taken.
