Chapter 1596 I feel sorry for you

"Minister Qiao... I'm sorry, I'm used to calling you that. I can't change this habit for a while, and I've never thought about changing it. Comrade Qiao, I feel sorry for you and for myself. The previous matter has been clarified. It has nothing to do with you. Why did the people in the upper echelons remove you and let Deng Wenchang take over? Compared with you, Deng Wenchang is really far behind. He is not as capable as you, and his character is even worse than yours. He is not as fair as you in handling things!"

As soon as he saw Qiao Nan, Li Dawei criticized Deng Wenchang rudely, just like he would criticize Qiao Nan to Xu Xinming every time he met Xu Xinming. He said without restraint, just to have a good time: "I don't understand why the higher-ups would let someone like Deng Wenchang go up. Comrade Qiao, I really can't help but speak up for you. Over the years, you have made no contributions to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but you have worked hard. How can they treat you like this when they know that the fault is not yours? I am as unlucky as you. Minister Deng Wenchang hasn't even warmed up to his position yet, but he's using me as a scapegoat to establish his authority in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We are both so unlucky."

Deng Wenchang is now his and Qiao Nan's common enemy. He hates Deng Wenchang, and Qiao Nan must hate him more than him: "If, if I have a little power, Comrade Qiao, I will definitely do everything I can to let you continue to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Comrade Qiao, in my heart, you are the Minister of Foreign Affairs forever, Deng Wenchang is nothing!"

After listening to Li Dawei's "declaration of loyalty", Qiao Nan had just finished tidying up his office.

Qiao Nan moved out of the Foreign Minister's office, but did not return to his old seat. He just changed his office: "You have said so much, I just want to ask you one question, do you know how Deng Wenchang became the Minister of Foreign Affairs? And how I stepped down?"

"Aren't all decisions made by the people above?" Li Dawei was stunned. What was there to know about this? This was the only possibility.

Qiao Nan smiled and took a sip of water to moisten her throat: "Someone above me? Comrade Li, you seem to have forgotten something." What does her father-in-law do? What does her husband do?

With her father-in-law and husband around, is it so easy for her to get the position of minister?

Li Dawei was right in saying that after explaining Qiao Zijin's affairs, she had no moral problems. She could have continued to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs. If someone wanted to take her down at this time, it would be rape. Who would dare to do this? Wouldn't they be afraid of being in trouble with her father-in-law and husband?

If someone dares to rape her, her father-in-law and husband will rape him too.

"Then, why is that?" After Qiao Nan's reminder, Li Dawei suddenly remembered that Qiao Nan's family had no background, but her husband's family did. Yes, Qiao Nan's father-in-law was the old chief, and her husband was the new chief. Qiao Nan did nothing wrong, so who could take Qiao Nan's position as minister?

Seeing that Li Dawei had listened to her, Qiao Nan was very kind to explain to Li Dawei: "Because I didn't want to be the Minister myself, not because anyone stopped me. As for Deng Wenchang, he wouldn't have been promoted without my recommendation. If I were to step down, I would have to recommend a talented person to the higher-ups. I think Deng Wenchang is quite good, and the higher-ups also recognize Deng Wenchang's ability and strength, so Deng Wenchang became the new Minister of Foreign Affairs."

Unfair?

She was the one who pushed Deng Wenchang up, so how could it be unfair? Moreover, she was the one who wanted to step down, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

"You, you, you?" Qiao Nan came down because she wanted to, and Deng Wenchang was pushed up by Qiao Nan. Why? Qiao Nan had already come down, so why did she have to push Deng Wenchang up?

He remembered that when they entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together, Deng Wenchang and Qiao Nan were at loggerheads. Why did Qiao Nan help Deng Wenchang when such a good thing happened without thinking about others? There were so many talented people in the department, and there were so many people younger than Deng Wenchang. Why didn't she recommend others and only mentioned Wenchang?

If, if at that time, the person recommended by Qiao Nan was me, then after the notice was issued today, would the person who moved into the minister's office be me, and not Qiao Nan anymore?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Dawei almost flew into a rage. They both offended Qiao Nan, both regarded Qiao Nan as a thorn in their eyes, and both went against Qiao Nan. Why, when there was such a good opportunity, Qiao Nan only recommended Deng Wenchang, but did not mention him at all? At this time, why did Qiao Nan only give one name, instead of giving several more to give the leader room to choose?

So, was Deng Wenchang the Minister selected by the higher-ups? It was clearly Qiao Nan who nominated him! Therefore, the election of the new Minister was entirely up to Qiao Nan!

Seeing Li Dawei's eyes wide open, full of accusations, Qiao Nan was amused: "You don't, but I understand. Don't be the one who has the final say. Deng Wenchang is quite capable, and he is better than you. You can't deny that. Also, I haven't been a minister for a long time, but I have done a lot of work, so I still have some authority. It's rare that the leader thinks highly of me and is willing to use someone I recommend. How can I waste such an opportunity? As for what you think in your heart, you can only work harder. If Deng Wenchang makes a big mistake and your performance is particularly eye-catching, you might be the next one."

She could not recommend anyone but Li Dawei. At the critical moment, Li Dawei was always holding her back. Deng Wenchang's performance surprised her. Deng Wenchang not only helped her to stabilize the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during that sensitive period, but also asked someone to communicate with those media magazines that reported the incident inaccurately, asking them to remove the headlines and stop reporting on her and Qiao Zijin's affairs.

Yes, during the most chaotic dozen or so years, Deng Wenchang had been helping him to maintain domestic stability. Even when it came to Lee Tat-wai, it was Deng Wenchang who personally stepped in and, as a senior, suppressed the restless Lee Tat-wai.

In addition to Deng Wenchang's own efforts, Qiao Nan's willingness to recommend Deng Wenchang has a lot to do with Deng Wenchang's performance during this period.

It doesn't make sense that Deng Wenchang could put aside the hostile relationship, put the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first, and help her with domestic peace, but she, an "old lady, an old witch", is unwilling to give Deng Wenchang a chance to show his abilities at this time. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid this opportunity to show his abilities would have originally belonged to Deng Wenchang.

No matter how late it is, at least this opportunity has finally returned to its rightful owner.
