Old Wu was stunned into silence after hearing what Shen Jichuan said.
"Xiao Qiao, how can you have such a broad mind? That's an inheritance of over a billion yuan, and you just donated it like that? To be honest, I might not even be able to do what you did."
Lu Yazhi also expressed shock, she really didn't know that her daughter was actually carrying out a mission in secret.
Thinking about how my daughter has endured so much hardship abroad all these years, and how she gave birth to Xiaojin, I feel a pang of sadness.
How difficult it must have been for her.
Lu Yazhi pursed her lips and wiped her eyes. "Look, I even complained about you, blamed you, and even said I wanted to sever our mother-daughter relationship. I was so foolish. Tell me, don't I know what kind of person my own daughter is? I actually suspected that you chose to abandon your husband and children in order to inherit the estate."
Seeing her mother crying, Wen Qiao smiled and said, "Mom, the only reason you believe I abandoned my husband and children is because I made it too convincing. I really had to make it convincing, otherwise Wen Zhengnian wouldn't have believed me at all."
"Abroad, it was thanks to Huo Dongqing's help, as well as some people in the organization, that I was able to get help."
"Oh, right, there's also He Muyi, who had a fake marriage with me."
However, He Muye and Wen Qiao were just using each other from the beginning. They both wanted to escape the constraints of their elders and reached an agreement through marriage.
After Wen Qiao successfully dealt with Wen Zheng, she began to plot to help He Muye, so that He Muye, who had been living in a daze and trying to use the image of a playboy to make Old Man He give up on grooming him as his successor, would realize that if he wanted freedom, he needed to hold absolute power.
Old He may have been telling those around him that he was grooming He Muye to be his successor, but in reality, he was also using He Muye.
If friends and relatives know that Old Man He has a legitimate grandson as an heir, they will naturally stop eyeing the He family's assets. But when the He family's assets will be given to He Muye is still up to Old Man He to decide.
If Wen Qiao hadn't reminded him, He Muye would have had no idea that Song Ma was actually monitoring his every move, seemingly taking care of his daily life.
He Muye is now in power.
Wen Qiao easily gained her freedom.
In this transaction, both she and He Muye were satisfied.
What He Muye is most worried about right now is that he wants Bai Yin to go abroad, but he can't stay back for too long. After all, he has only been in power in the He family for a short time, and there are still people under him who are not obedient.
He was worried that if he returned to China to find Bai Yin, his home would be raided.
Especially the arms smuggling gang, the people Old He hired were no good.
Wen Qiao had just returned home when Zhao Qingzhou arrived, bringing a bouquet of flowers with him.
It was also a message sent to Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao spoke to Zhao Qingzhou alone in the courtyard.
Shen Jichuan didn't ask any more questions. To avoid suspicion, he didn't plan to interrogate her and simply let Wen Qiao communicate with Zhao Qingzhou alone.
After hearing Zhao Qingzhou finish speaking, Wen Qiao chuckled and said casually, "Director Zhao, please tell Minister Yang that the mission is complete and I will retire gracefully. As for anything else, I have no other requests."
"Besides, the dividends the organization gives me from foreign banks are a considerable sum of money, so I have nothing to be dissatisfied about."
Zhao Qingzhou was genuinely surprised to hear Wen Qiao's words.
"As your superior, I would like to advise you to accept these benefits, after all, these are the benefits that Minister Yang applied for for you. Also, you can continue to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I will promote you to the position of Deputy Minister of the Information Department. I hope you can come back, and we can continue to work together."
Wen Qiao smiled.
"In the past three years, no, to be precise, it has been more than four years, plus the year and a half I spent studying abroad, I have not spent more than five years with my wife and children."
I want to take a break for a while.
This was a decision Wen Qiao had made long ago.
In recent years, she has either been studying or busy working abroad. She feels she has neglected Shen Jichuan too much and wants to spend some time with him.
As for work, we'll talk about that later.
Zhao Qingzhou said, "Wen Qiao, I invited you back to continue working because you are very good at these things. Of course, I will give you enough rest time, six months, or a year, or even three years if you don't want that."
"I just thought that when you want to work, you can come to the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Seeing Zhao Qingzhou's serious expression, Wen Qiao chuckled and agreed, "Okay, I'll come find you if I want to work."
Zhao Qingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is planning to host a welcome banquet for you. Please come and attend, along with your family and children. It will be held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' internal activity center."
"This is also Minister Yang's intention."
"Welcome back, Wen Qiao."
Wen Qiao smiled and said thank you.
Since Zhao Qingzhou said it was Minister Yang's idea, Wen Qiao couldn't refuse too much.
This task was not easy to explain openly, but Wen Qiao used to work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Only Zhao Qingzhou knew about Wen Qiao's resignation; everyone else thought that Wen Qiao was still working abroad doing international news reporting.
