Feng Yan cleaned the house and decided not to keep any of her belongings, only taking some things that belonged to her and her daughter.
Before setting off, she took her daughter to the hair salon.
She used to think that since she had returned to her family, she would grow her hair long, which her husband liked. But now, she has cut it into a short bob.
Her daughter also cut her long hair short.
On the day of departure, Feng Yan had a neat short haircut and wore exquisite makeup, including lipstick. Although her eyebrows and eyes were not particularly beautiful, her makeup made her look very elegant.
Feng Yan is fluent in foreign languages, and is proficient in English and French.
She was wearing a light gray suit trousers and lambskin shoes, carrying two large wooden suitcases. A staff member accompanying her took the suitcases from her and offered her lollipops to coax Feng Yan's daughter, Zhang Miao.
Feng Yan walked up to Zhao Qingzhou.
"Director Zhao, rest assured, I will definitely complete any task you assign me. While working at the embassy, I will also cooperate well with my colleagues in various departments."
"Also, I'm very grateful that you still believe in me, use me, and are willing to give me this opportunity."
Zhao Qingzhou said frankly, "Actually, because of your husband, I have doubts about you and hesitate to use you. Commander Shen is protecting you. I believe he has a good eye for people."
"Go there first. I'll gradually teach you the specific tasks. Once you're proficient, you'll know how to contact me and pass on messages."
"Maintaining your information network abroad will be very helpful for your future work."
Feng Yan nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
"We used to work on covert stories, now we work on overt stories. It's still a mix of overt and covert. I know what kind of international news you want."
Seeing Feng Yan's confident demeanor, Zhao Qingzhou knew that his judgment was correct.
This Feng Yan is indeed quite capable.
Moreover, Zhao Qingzhou genuinely admired Feng Yan's intelligence.
When dealing with intelligent people, you only need to hint at what they mean, and they not only understand it, but they understand it very well.
Zhao Qingzhou had nothing to complain about regarding Feng Yan.
"I've already spoken to them over there. You can go straight to your new position, or you can familiarize yourself with the environment for a few days first. Your working hours are flexible. Remember your identity: reporter."
"Yes, Director Zhao."
After a brief exchange, Feng Yan said goodbye to Zhao Qingzhou.
She didn't see Shen Jichuan, and it seemed that at this time and in this place, Shen Jichuan's status was not suitable for meeting her.
But Feng Yan understood the gratitude. She knew that if it weren't for Shen Jichuan, she wouldn't have been able to escape her current unbearable situation with her child, let alone get the opportunity to go abroad and get this job.
Of course, she will keep her promise to Shen Jichuan.
Thinking that she now has a respectable job, and is a reporter in the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, her identity is no longer hidden, and she can let her daughter live in the sunlight.
Feng Yan felt that her future was promising.

When Feng Yan finally got in touch with Wen Qiao, Wen Qiao learned about Feng Yan's experiences in China.
Feng Yan only went to find Wen Qiao after she had settled her daughter in.
She briefly explained her situation to Wen Qiao, almost in a whim, but Wen Qiao could sense that Feng Yan had endured immense pain during this process.
Seeing the pity and sympathy in Wen Qiao's eyes, Feng Yan smiled calmly.
“I’ve already gotten out of this quagmire, so you don’t need to worry about me. Miaomiao is also attending an international school arranged by her employer. Because of Miaomiao’s special circumstances, we can also apply for special subsidies.”
“Wen Qiao is doing very well now. Coming here was my own choice. It's also a place where I feel I can transform myself.”
"The reason I'm calling you this time is not only to let you know I'm here, but also because I have some very important news. Your husband has asked me to find someone for you overseas. During your time abroad, you will have two female bodyguards protecting you in secret."
“They are not Chinese. Your husband prefers women, but in the short term, the choices are too limited.”
Wen Qiao nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Wen Qiao knew that Shen Jichuan chose women not because he was afraid that male bodyguards would be inconvenient to get along with her, but because female bodyguards were more likely to be able to detect certain dangers.
Shen Jichuan doesn't concern himself with such important matters.
Wen Qiao never expected that Shen Jichuan, who was in China, would think so thoroughly about her needs.
Wen Qiao said, "Actually, I have already confessed to Wen Zhengnian that I have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and an embassy behind me."
Feng Yan said, "You did the right thing. People like them who bring huge amounts of illegally obtained assets from China to foreign countries are likely to get involved with the government."
Wen Qiao nodded, then suddenly said to Feng Yan, "Feng Yan, do you think I have any way to get his assets and return them to the country? We urgently need US dollars right now. He has a lot of assets in the United States. Personally, I'm not interested, but if we use this money for our country's development, it will definitely solve our big problem."
Feng Yan looked at Wen Qiao and chuckled.
"Your thinking is too simplistic. Not to mention that his assets are protected by law abroad, you would have to pay a large sum of tax if you wanted to take them away. Another point is that his assets are too large. I checked, he owns a bank, and the government will also pay attention to the movement of his assets."
"Besides, his children are no good either. You should still protect yourself. It's best to avoid getting involved with them unless absolutely necessary."
Wen Qiao said, "I know. He told me personally that the person who took the three treasures away from China was not one of his people. I suspect that one of his many children was secretly watching me."
Wen Qiao is currently showing little interest in Wen Zhengnian's legacy, which is actually a safe bet.
If she agrees to inherit those assets, she probably won't live to see them and will die in a foreign land.
But after their last meeting, Wen Qiao felt that Wen Zhengnian seemed to be trying to use kinship to bridge the distance between them.
Wen Qiao had a wicked plan. If Wen Zhengnian wanted to use family ties, she could use family ties too. However, if she got Wen Zhengnian's money, it would be equivalent to getting the danger that Wen Zhengnian brought her.
This matter still needs careful and thorough planning.
How can we safely obtain Wen Zhengnian's money? It would be best if the embassy could also lend a hand.
She will definitely donate all of this money to national development.
