When we returned to the Protocol Department in the afternoon, the director's expression was not very pleasant.
Seeing the director's expression, Zheng Xiao was secretly pleased, guessing that Jiang Ci must have angered the public and made a big mistake, which was why the director looked so embarrassed.
Zheng Xiao thought he had guessed correctly. He turned his gaze to Jiang Ci, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Shouldn't we kick you out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this time?
"Jiang Ci, Zhao Xin, come to my office!"
The director's voice carried an indescribable meaning.
Zheng Xiao picked up a book that was lying to the side, covered her face, and smiled silently.
The door to the director's office was quickly closed, effectively shielding the viewer from what was happening inside.
Aside from Mingzhu, Liu Ke, the director, and Guo Zhen, not many people paid attention to what Jiang Ci was going through.
So after Jiang Ci and another person entered the director's office, the entire Protocol Department remained quiet for a while.
Then they started muttering to themselves, as if discussing what had happened.
Do you know what happened today?
"It seems there was a problem with the reception this morning, but I don't know what happened."
"You went along to greet them, how could you not know?"
"But nothing really happened today. If anything, it's that Jiang Ci seems to have secured an order with Country Y all by himself."
"ah?"
Some people don't understand.
Zheng Xiao, who had been listening intently, also began to have doubts.
Well... Logically speaking, such a major diplomatic blunder should be publicized to the public, and the minister should come over to personally scold Jiang Ci and then kick her out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, right?
Judging from the tone of the other people who were there to greet them, it seemed that this incident had not occurred.
For a moment, Zheng Xiao had a bad feeling.
When the male cadre known as Zhao Xin came out of the office and walked towards him with a pale face, this bad premonition reached its peak.
"Zheng Xiao, the director wants to see you in his office."
Zheng Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. "Me?"
"……right."
Zhao Xin nodded.
Zheng Xiao really didn't want to go, but he couldn't argue with the director, so he could only reluctantly get up.
Just then, the director of the European Department arrived, his face beaming with excitement, as if he had encountered something that excited him.
Zheng Xiao glanced at the Director of the European Affairs Department, and the uneasy premonition he felt grew stronger.
Upon entering the office, Zheng Xiao knocked on the door.
Director Yan gave him a cold look and said to the director of the European Department, "You should talk to Jiang Ci about this. After all, it was she who made the talk, and I don't know exactly what she talked about."
The director of the European Department immediately nodded, "Okay, Jiang Ci, come with me."
Jiang Ci readily agreed and followed the director of the European Department to other places.
Director Yan spoke sharply, "Zheng Xiao! You come here right now!"
Zheng Xiao's face turned pale.
The Director of the European Affairs Department glanced at Zheng Xiao, then listened attentively to Jiang Ci's words.
"Will you take the initiative to be honest, or do I have to tell you everything I know?" Director Yan's voice was cold and stern. "Zheng Xiao, even if your father came today, I would not let this matter rest."
this……
What does that mean?
The Director-General of the European Affairs Department couldn't understand it again.
I listened intently to what they were saying.
Seeing the gossipy look on the Director of the European Affairs Department's face, Jiang Ci simply stopped talking and kept quiet to see when the Director of the European Affairs Department would react.
"Director Yan, I...I don't understand what you're saying." Zheng Xiao had lost the arrogance he had shown when facing Jiang Ci. His eyes were panicked, and he looked guilty.
Director Yan gave a cold laugh. "Don't understand? Are you really not understanding, or are you pretending? Guess why I called Zhao Xin over? Guess why I had him call you in?"
"Zheng Xiao, if you tell the truth, I'll at most have the personnel department transfer you to another position. If you don't, then I'll have no choice but to remove you from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you troublemaker who disregards national interests and is selfish!"
"You can't, my dad is..."
Zheng Xiao immediately became anxious, but before he could finish speaking, Director Yan interrupted him, "No matter how powerful your father is, can he control the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?! Even if you call your father over right now, I want to ask him how he raised his children!"
Zheng Xiao instantly lost his chance to defend himself.
He was very confused, though. How did the director know?
Did Jiang Ci not follow his script?
Has his plan failed again?
Zheng Xiao was completely baffled, and in order to keep his job, he had no choice but to reveal his plan.
“It was…it was me who pulled the strings.” Zheng Xiao lowered his head, his eyes full of resentment. “I…I persuaded Mingzhu to let Jiang Ci participate in this reception as well, and Mingzhu agreed and put Jiang Ci in charge of the reception for Y country.”
“I…I persuaded Zhao Xin to hide after the foreign guests from M arrived, and to have someone push Jiang Ci forward during the chaos, so that she would treat the foreign guests from M as foreign guests from Y.”
Jiang Ci and the Director of the European Department, who were not far away, heard everything Zheng Xiao said.
I also understand what he left unsaid.
As a diplomat, Zheng Xiao's move was truly vicious.
If he actually succeeds in this, Jiang Ci will not only lose her job, but she will also be branded with shame, her absurd actions recorded and ridiculed by other diplomats.
The Director of the European Affairs Department glanced at Jiang Ci, only to find her cold and aloof expression, her gaze fixed on Zheng Xiao as if she were looking at a clown.
