A faint smile touched Liang Qing's lips. She rarely smiled, but her demeanor was gentle, yet tinged with aloofness.
She only felt relaxed and able to let down her guard when she was with Wen Qiao.
She's been away from that place for years, but she still feels fear and defensiveness.
She wasn't considered outstanding within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but for an ordinary person, her admission to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was definitely remarkable.
But deep down, she still carried the timidity she felt from the hurt she had suffered before.
Just as Liang Qing was about to leave, she suddenly heard a mocking voice.
"You're quite the flatterer, aren't you? You've only been in the Information Department for a short time, and you already know that Wen Qiao is highly valued and a favorite of the Director, yet you're already rushing to give her gifts?"
"You don't even know how to choose something more expensive as a gift. You country bumpkin, so poor, how dare you give gifts to others?"
The speaker was none other than Wang Xiaoai, who had joined the Information Department at the same time as her.
Liang Qing said calmly, "I'm just thanking Senior Wen Qiao for her guidance at work. Comrade Wen Qiao also asked you if you wanted to participate in the training after you started working, but it was your own decision that was not to, so it has nothing to do with me."
Completely different from her humble and gentle demeanor when speaking to Wen Qiao, Liang Qing became very cold.
Wang Xiaoai stepped forward and glared angrily at Liang Qing.
"I'm just wondering, why would the Information Department hire someone like you? Your foreign language is all so rustic and unsophisticated. What makes you so special? Just because you can play the victim? I heard you come from a bad background, were married before, and were beaten out of the house after your husband died. I'm just curious, how did you manage to go to university after all that?"
Liang Qing said coldly, "Because I beat the man to death, his family owes me, and they must recommend me for university."
Just as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a cough.
"Still here after get off work?"
When Wang Xiaoai saw that it was Director Zhao Qingzhou, her expression immediately changed. She chuckled and said, "I just finished some work-related matters and I have to leave soon."
"Comrade Wen Qiao is about to go abroad for further studies. She said there are many things to handle independently."
This statement directly shifted the blame onto Wen Qiao.
Wang Xiaoai meant that Wen Qiao was preparing for further studies abroad and didn't want to deal with the company's affairs, so she let them handle them.
When Liang Qing looked at Zhao Qingzhou, she simply nodded slightly and said, "It's almost time to get off work."
Zhao Qingzhou glanced at Wang Xiaoai and said, "You've joined the Information Department to take over the work left undone by Comrade Wen Qiao when she left for further studies abroad."
"Once Comrade Wen Qiao returns, you will be under her jurisdiction."
Zhao Qingzhou's words made Wang Xiaoai's face turn green.
I had originally planned to complain about Wen Qiao to Director Zhao, but I didn't expect the director to be so protective of Wen Qiao.
It seems she underestimated Wen Qiao's abilities.
But, just who exactly is Wen Qiao?
She hasn't asked anyone either; it seems she'll have to inquire about it later.
After Wang Xiaoai finished speaking, she left first. Liang Qing was about to leave, but Zhao Qingzhou called her back.
"Liang Qing, wait a moment."
Liang Qing stopped in her tracks, turned around to look at Zhao Qingzhou, her eyes filled with a hint of reluctance to meet his gaze.
They looked so alike that Liang Qing couldn't even look Zhao Qingzhou in the eye.
Seeing Zhao Qingzhou always reminded her of that person.
That bright and cheerful young man who was beaten to death for protecting her.
