The next time Wen Qiao met Sun Yuanyuan was when she was at an event with her colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The event ended at 6:30 p.m.
The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs said that everyone should stop going back to the unit canteen for meals and instead go out for a meal together.
There are seven or eight people in total.
There are three people in the Information Department. Besides Wen Qiao, Zhou Jia also came with Zhao Qingzhou.
There are two colleagues in the translation department who knew Wen Qiao before.
One of them is Yao Meng, who has a very difficult time coordinating with Wen Qiao at work, and the other is Sun Zhiyu.
It was Wang Xin who brought the two of them.
There were also several colleagues from other departments.
We all work together regularly, so we naturally know and are familiar with each other.
However, due to work-related reasons, Zhou Jia and Wen Qiao don't like Yao Meng very much.
The reason was that during a diplomatic interview, Yao Meng's translation had a problem, and Zhao Qingzhou immediately asked Yao Meng to step down and replaced her with Wen Qiao.
After Wen Qiao took the stage, she gently but powerfully countered some of the aggressive remarks made by foreign reporters.
The incident happened very urgently, and it was precisely because Wen Qiao had successfully completed her work that Yao Meng was called away by Wang Xin for a talk.
I don't know what punishment Yao Meng received from her workplace, but after that incident, Yao Meng became increasingly resentful of Wen Qiao.
Especially at work, they would deliberately make things difficult for Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao initially didn't want to get involved, but later she discovered that Yao Meng was targeting her in every way. This matter was getting serious, and fearing it would affect the work progress, Wen Qiao had to report the matter truthfully to her superior.
Yao Meng was also called in for a talk by her supervisor.
From then on, Wen Qiao and Yao Meng didn't have much contact regarding work-related matters.
Unexpectedly, Yao Meng and Sun Yuanyuan knew each other, and Sun Yuanyuan was even introduced to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a secretary.
She was also a recent hire.
That's strange.
Zhou Jia and Wen Qiao came back from the bathroom together. As they came in, wiping their hands with paper, they saw Yao Meng talking to Director Su. Her attitude was ingratiating and obsequious.
Director Su works in the Planning Department, so he's a leader, but more importantly, he's old and senior, so everyone has to call him "senior."
Zhou Jia whispered to Wen Qiao, "Wen Qiao, look at the one next to Yao Meng, the one with the big face. She's Director Zhao's blind date. Let me tell you, I was shopping with my friend when Director Zhao went on that blind date."
"It's one thing to see the boss every day during work hours, but after get off work, I'll definitely avoid him. But I was curious about who Director Zhao was going on a blind date with, so I secretly took a few glances."
"To be honest, she's not good enough for our Director Zhao. Our Director Zhao is the most beautiful woman in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I heard that he was brought to the Information Department because of his good looks."
Wen Qiao coughed, but Zhou Jia ignored her and continued, "I'm really curious, what does Director Zhao's ex-wife look like? She must be very beautiful."
Wen Qiao coughed twice more loudly.
"Director Zhao, you've arrived too."
Zhao Qingzhou hummed in agreement.
His gaze fell on Zhou Jia, who was speechless and unsure whether to speak or shut up.
"You're quite curious. I think you don't have much work to do, yet you still have the time to gossip."
Zhou Jia immediately chuckled.
After Zhao Qingzhou entered the private room and exchanged pleasantries with his superiors and colleagues of the same rank, Zhou Jia quickly tugged at Wen Qiao's clothes.
She said pitifully, "Wen Qiao, why didn't you remind me that Director Zhao was behind me?"
