Director Yan was so angry that he was trembling all over.
"You are a despicable and vicious person!"
Zheng Xiao shrank back and lowered his head, not saying a word.
"What grudge do I hold against you? Just because I refused to help you translate the French manuscript, you're going to kill me?"
Jiang Ci's voice drifted over, neither too close nor too far.
Zheng Xiao glanced at her sideways, then continued to look down without saying a word.
Jiang Ci gave a cold laugh.
"Get out of here! And don't ever come to the Protocol Department again tomorrow!"
Zheng Xiao gritted his teeth, his hatred for Jiang Ci growing stronger, but he dared not say a word and left with his head down.
Director Yan paced back and forth in his office, struggling to control his emotions.
The director of the European Affairs Department seemed to remember something and said with half-closed eyes, "The French manuscript you mentioned, is it the one that happened a while ago when I accompanied the minister here and encountered you confronting Zheng Xiao?"
Jiang Ci hummed in agreement.
Director Yan really didn't know about this, since Jiang Ci hadn't mentioned it.
"Did you offend Zheng Xiao? Why does he harbor such a deep grudge against you?" Director Yan asked.
“I’ve only been at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for less than a week, what could I possibly have done to offend him?” Jiang Ci said in a calm tone, speaking frankly. “He doesn’t like me because I only graduated from high school. In his eyes, I might have gotten into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through connections, which makes him very unhappy.”
Zheng Xiao wanted to take her job, ruin her reputation, and make her suffer infamy. Jiang Ci showed no mercy and directly exposed him, "On my first day at work, he sent someone with a French manuscript, saying he wanted me to translate it. Director Yan, you know I only know English and don't understand French at all. I couldn't do that job at all. In order not to delay the work, I immediately chased after him to return the document. And guess what he said?"
Jiang Ci sneered, "He said, 'You dare disobey me? Do you know who my father is?! If you don't finish translating this document, I'll report you to Director Yan! I'll get you out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!'"
“Director Yan, you know very well how I got in. If I got in through connections, you can test me again. If you want to kick me out just because I don’t have a university degree, I won’t say a word. But Zheng Xiao wants to get rid of me with just a word because he has a powerful father. Do you think I can accept that?”
"Even a clay Buddha has some temper; I am not a soft persimmon that can be easily molded."
Jiang Ci's pent-up anger suddenly erupted.
Director Yan and the Director of the European Affairs Department, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but wipe away their sweat.
This little girl has a really sharp tongue; they couldn't get a word in edgewise!
