"Jiang Ci, could you translate this manuscript as well?"
Jiang Ci was writing a eulogy when a document was suddenly placed in front of her.
She looked up at the person who had spoken, but the person had already turned and run away.
"It's due this afternoon! Hurry up and translate!"
The man spoke as he walked.
Jiang Ci opened the file; it was a speech draft that needed to be translated into French. It was a speech to be sent to the French tomorrow.
She quickly glanced through it, then put down the eulogy in her hand, got up, and took the document that needed to be translated as she walked out.
The person who ran away was panting heavily. Zheng Xiao scoffed disdainfully, "Did you deliver it?"
"I delivered it, but I didn't dare let her see who I was, and I just ran away."
That man was Zheng Xiao's underling.
Zheng Xiao revealed a smug smile, "As long as she can't translate it, I'll make her suffer a great defeat!"
“They bring all sorts of garbage to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I despise backdoor deals the most.”
“That’s right, this time we’ll see what Jiang Ci is really capable of. If she’s really that good, then Brother Xiao, your future job can… hehe, just let her do it.” Zheng Xiao’s underling chimed in, but in his heart he was thinking: You’re the last one to enter through the highest door of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and you still have the nerve to talk about others.
He didn't reveal a word of what he was thinking.
Who can blame them when the Zheng family is powerful?
No one in the Protocol Department would provoke Zheng Xiao.
Just as they were thinking this, Zheng Xiao and his underlings suddenly heard a woman's voice, "Hello, is this the translation you delivered?"
Zheng Xiao's underling was startled and turned around to look.
Holy crap!
It's Jiang porcelain!
She calmly handed the documents in her hand to him.
“I’m sorry, I only speak English and not French. Translating French is very difficult for me, and I’m afraid I’m not up to the task.” Jiang Ci’s voice was not loud, but it was enough for the two of them to hear clearly.
Zheng Xiao's smug smile vanished instantly.
He looked at Jiang Ci with a gloomy expression, "You don't even know French, what are you doing in the Protocol Department?"
Zheng Xiao raised his chin and looked down at Jiang Ci, saying, "If you don't know how, then go learn! If you can't finish this translation, I'll go to the director and say that you can't even finish your work and don't deserve to be in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Unfortunately, Zheng Xiao was half a head shorter than Jiang Ci, and looking down at people with his nose in the air was quite difficult for him.
“Why don’t you go and talk to the director right now?” Jiang Ci’s eyes, clear as a lake, were so calm that it seemed as if there was not a breath of wind. “The reason I was able to get into the Protocol Department is because I speak English. Even if you complain to the director, I will not be fired because of your words.”
Jiang Ci is a formal employee who has signed the personnel form. Unless she commits a serious crime, such as being a spy, a secret agent, or stealing state secrets, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would not be able to dismiss her so easily.
Zheng Xiao, who was used to being arrogant, was furious when he heard Jiang Ci speak to him like that. "You think you won't be fired just because you think you won't be fired?"
Do you know who your father is?!
Jiang Ci tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Foreign Minister?"
Zheng Xiao was choked by Jiang Ci's words and couldn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Ci smiled gently, "Your surname is Zheng, but the Premier doesn't share your surname. You're not the Premier's child, are you?"
Zheng Xiao's eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets with anger. "You...you damned bitch."
"Comrade Zheng, I advise you to be more polite. I am an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not your subordinate or your father's subordinate. I have no obligation to do your job, and you have no right to scold me."
"If you want to use your power to suppress me," Jiang Ci's voice remained gentle, yet held a hidden edge, "then try it."
"What makes you think you can fight me!" Zheng Xiao roared angrily. "I could crush you like an ant! If I wanted to kick you out, what could you do about it!"
"Who's your dad? How dare you act so powerfully?"
Suddenly, a steady voice rang out.
The three people on this side turned their heads, and Zheng Xiao's face turned pale.
"Minister…Minister."
Not just ministers!
There is also a vice minister and the director of the European Department.
They followed an elderly man who looked to be nearly sixty years old, with gray hair that was neatly combed, still dressed in a suit and tie, and with a steady gait, as they arrived at the Protocol Department.
Jiang Ci turned around. Since she didn't know him, she didn't speak rashly, but simply said, "Hello, leader."
The minister's gaze lingered on Jiang Ci, a smile playing on his lips. "Young lady, you have quite the presence. What's your name?"
Jiang Ci stood up even straighter and said, "Jiang Ci, the Jiang in 'big river,' and the Ci in 'blue and white porcelain.'"
The minister nodded gently, his gaze falling on Zheng Xiao, and asked with an unchanged expression, "Comrade, who is your father?"
Zheng Xiao and his younger brother, who were standing next to her, were trembling like leaves.
Zheng Xiao's throat was dry, and he no longer had the arrogant demeanor he had displayed when he spoke so boastfully in front of Jiang Ci.
Even though the minister was just asking casually and there was no threat in it, Zheng Xiao couldn't utter a single syllable.
The minister turned to look at the deputy minister beside him and said, "If everyone in our team thinks they have a powerful father and wants to teach others how to behave, how can we possibly get anything done?"
The vice minister, who was also Liu Ke's father, nodded solemnly.
The vice minister knows Jiang Ci, after all, she was recommended by his daughter. Zheng Xiao is bullying Jiang Ci here. Does he have a problem with Jiang Ci, or with his daughter, or with him as vice minister?
