Chapter 236: Slap in the Face



This question was originally just a backup and was not 100% used, but the distinguished guests in the room suddenly left halfway. In order to increase the importance of the coronation ceremony and to divert attention, Helian Zhen could only find ways to add topics on his own.

"Yes, the royal family's previous intention was to hold it in the ancient city's palace, but it was rejected in the end..." Helian Zhen was about to continue speaking when the etiquette officer who had been following behind him without saying a word or taking a single step suddenly stepped forward a few steps and stopped behind him. Helian Zhen stopped talking in surprise, and when he turned his head slightly, he discovered that the expressions of the guards and other people were not right.

Helian Zhen's heart paused. What on earth had happened?

She soon heard the answer. Prime Minister Li, whose expression had softened due to her performance during the interview, quickly interrupted her and said, "It's normal to be rejected. Your Majesty the Queen was busy just now and didn't know that our Blue Water Planet successfully applied to hold the two interstellar conferences. This ancient city palace is the place to announce the surprise. It's normal to be rejected."

Helian Zhen didn't know the news and was planning to reveal it in front of everyone. Prime Minister Li was speechless to the extreme. Then he thought that as the well-deserved number one person on the Blue Water Star, he actually knew the news only after it was announced, so he didn't have time to be speechless to Helian Zhen.

He didn't take the application for hosting rights seriously, and neither did Helian Zhen. Their minds had been focused on recent events for some time. They themselves didn't pay attention to this matter, so they couldn't blame others for not knowing about it.

However, he was also more wary of the old man, the Secretary of Interstellar Affairs.

Prime Minister Li had passed the period of shock and anger when he first learned the news, and he was able to remain calm after his emotions had buffered, but Helian Zhen had no buffer period.

She only felt a buzzing in her ears, dizziness, and blackness in front of her eyes. Why didn't she know about this? !

Why didn't she know! The application for the Interstellar Two Conferences was successful, but she, who was supposed to be the leader, was completely unaware of it.

How could she not know! This was a slap in the face, so loud that it made a crackling sound.

Helian Zhen's body shook slightly, and she forced a stiff smile of surprise on her face, "This is such a happy event, let's go, let's hurry over there!" She had already missed the first and best chance, and now she could only catch up. No matter what, she had to take back what belonged to her and not give it to anyone else.

Being the chairman of the organizing committee of the Interstellar Cultural Exchange Conference is enough to bring her a lifetime of glory.

Helian Zhen said this and hurried forward, while Prime Minister Li walked slowly beside him with a gloomy face. The cabinet members who stayed at the scene reluctantly because Prime Minister Li could not leave did not follow them this time, and separated from them after leaving the palace. Helian Zhen and Prime Minister Li did not care much, because they were too anxious and hurried, Helian Zhen did not even have time to notice that the crowd on the avenue outside the palace had disappeared.

After seeing the two of them and their companions get on their cars, the cabinet members who stayed behind breathed a sigh of relief and hurried or even jogged to their own cars. After getting on, they moved in unison and couldn't wait to check their phones to watch the news.

Soon, suppressed shouts of excitement were heard in the car. When they saw the announcement of the Secretary of Interstellar Affairs, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. They could fully imagine what Her Majesty the Queen would face.

Helian Zhen and Prime Minister Li were stopped outside the ancient city's imperial palace. The armed police force, which would not normally be deployed, and the special forces hiding in the dark, maintained order and security with real guns and live ammunition, and executed orders impartially. They treated Helian Zhen and Prime Minister Li the same as everyone else before, and only said "no entry" without further ado.

Helian Zhen and Prime Minister Li naturally couldn't give up, but no matter what they tried, it was useless to find their immediate superiors. These people are now under the jurisdiction of the two interstellar councils of Shuilan Star. They only listen to one person, and that person is too busy and has no time to deal with these two.

Helian Zhen and Prime Minister Li's faces turned pale. The people who had been celebrating outside the ancient city felt more relaxed when they saw this scene, and they looked up to the special police even more.

Helian Zhen quickly sensed their emotions, stopped having crazier thoughts, and patiently reasoned with the team leader here, "I really have something to do. Our royal family is indispensable to the Interstellar Cultural Exchange Conference. As the queen, I must go in and take charge. The chairmanship of the Cultural Exchange Conference Organizing Committee cannot be vacant." Helian Zhen hurried over, and all she saw along the way was everyone cheering, so she looked at the armed police team leader and spoke righteously.

The team leader, who had always been patient and ruthless, finally showed a hint of expression this time. He blinked and looked at his colleague beside him. He looked at Helian Zhen in confusion and said dryly, "The chairmanship will not be vacant."

Did he look like a fool? He was fooled like this! "I'm still here, how can there be no vacancy?" Helian Zhen was also annoyed, and became more and more irritated. His voice naturally became louder. In the noisy background, because of the deliberate silence around him, many people heard it.

Prime Minister Li, who was standing by, froze all over, stepped aside without any expression and left quietly.

"..." The captain blinked again. When he saw that everyone had the same expression as him, he knew that he was indeed being treated as a fool. The handsome captain's face darkened, and he uttered a few words stiffly, "What does your presence or absence have to do with the vacancy of the chairmanship?"

As Helian Zhen's face darkened, the team leader reflected for a moment and felt that he had not been respectful enough to the newly crowned Queen. He softened his expression and explained, solving the problem at once. "It has been announced just now that Miss Zhu Jin will be the chairperson of the Cultural Exchange Organizing Committee, and the chairperson of the Sports Meeting Organizing Committee will be the Secretary of Interstellar Affairs."

Helian Zhen's face turned pale, and he took a step back suddenly, his body swaying.

Ignoring her as the queen, Zhu Jin directly became the chairman.

This was not only a slap in the face, but also a disrespect for her as the newly crowned queen. However, after being slapped in the face, she wanted to be slapped again. After being slapped on the left cheek, she wanted to be slapped on the right cheek.

On the first day of my accession to the throne!

"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible..." Helian Zhen shouted in his heart, but he bit his lips tightly and dared not make any sound.

"Your Majesty..." The guard beside her saw that her face looked really bad, so he took a half step forward and called out worriedly.

"I'm fine, I was just too happy." Helian Zhen gave the captain a pale smile, "Thank you for telling me, since my sister is inside, it is forbidden to enter here, let's go back first, there are still many things to deal with."

Team leader: “…” Too happy, is this also called too happy?

Helian Zhen and the team leader nodded to say goodbye, straightened their backs under the gazes of everyone with various emotions, and walked away slowly step by step. Her heart was filled with anger and hatred, and she must get back the humiliation she suffered today.

She must get it back! Because of the special helper Qu Mai, Helian Zhen, who had been relying on threatening people and finding evidence to get to where she is today, didn't know that Qu Mai was already dead, and she didn't expect that she would end up like this today. This was just the beginning.

The position of queen, which she valued more than her life, was just a useless thing to her in the end.

Zhu Jin and the others had no idea what was happening outside, and they didn't have any extra time or experience to think about it. When everything was over, it was already evening.

The excitement of noon has passed. Although everyone is still in high spirits, an unconcealable fatigue is revealed on their faces. After the nerves that have been tense for several hours suddenly relax, endless fatigue also sweeps over them.

It was a huge team, but after hurriedly confessing their love to each other, they quickly dispersed. Those who had nothing to do went home from get off work, while those who had something to do gathered in their small teams for meetings.

Zhu Jin left directly, but instead of going home, she went to the cemetery.

She went to see Helian Lan, looked at Helian Lan's portrait, and raised the corners of her mouth, "Mom, I have good news to tell you..."

When Zhu Jin returned home from the cemetery, it was already dark.

After returning home and eating something, Shi Wei and Shi Shangbai came over. Shi Wei, who seemed to have grown taller, stood in front with a smile on his face, "Auntie, you are so handsome. Our school didn't have classes today. We were all busy celebrating. Auntie, please sign for me. I want to keep it as a souvenir."

Shi Wei has been much quieter these days. It's rare to see him so excited and talkative. Zhu Jin couldn't help laughing, "What are you signing? It's a souvenir."

"Just sign your name." Shi Wei was very serious. After he really got Zhu Jin's signature, he talked for a while. Finally, Shi Wei couldn't help but focus his attention on Zhu Jin's legs again.

"Is your leg okay? When can you walk?" He couldn't help but frown as he asked. He also felt something was wrong.

"It's almost time to go." Zhu Jin answered perfunctorily. His answer was ambiguous and Shi Wei had no choice.

"Okay, you go back first. Your aunt and I have something to talk about." Shi Shangbai interrupted what Shi Wei was about to say and asked him to go home.

Shi Wei knew that Shi Shangbai had something important to do, so he left obediently.

When the aunt and the bodyguard sister heard that they were going to talk about serious matters, they quickly left, leaving only Zhu Jin and Ishigami Bai in the living room.

Zhu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ishigami Bai and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work." It was all thanks to Ishigami Bai that today went so smoothly.

Since she was injured and Helian Lan passed away on January 1, Shi Shangbai has been busy with all matters. After so many days, Shi Shangbai only had time to come here today. Before that, they could only contact each other by phone.

When Helian Lan was dying, Su Mu and others could not contact her, so they also contacted her aunt at home. The aunt said that she was in a panic and met Shi Shangbai who was rushing to the hospital after hearing the news that she was injured.

After Shi Shangbai learned of Helian Lan's death, he no longer had the time or opportunity to visit Zhu Jin. Fortunately, he soon learned that Zhu Jin was not in danger of life.

From that day on, Shi Shangbai took on the tasks that were originally supposed to be done by Helian Lan, Zhu Jin and others, and was very busy.

The reason is that he is ambitious and he doesn't want to give up halfway.

Moreover, because Helian Lan passed away, her last wish and the results of her life's efforts could not be taken away by someone else.

This was the reason why Ishigami Bai was so busy during those days. Many years later, when Ishigami Bai thought back to that period of time, he sneered at the reason he gave back then.

Apart from the above two reasons, there is actually another reason. He works so hard just because of Zhu Jin.

Whether he admitted it or not at that time, he could not deny that he was comforting Zhu Jin in his own way. At that time, Chonglou was able to accompany her and help her through that heartbreak because Chonglou was qualified.

When he finished his ambitious so-called comfort which others saw as indifferent, and saw Zhu Jin again and received a "thank you for your hard work" from her, he felt that what he did was right.

Anyway, she understood and was grateful, anyway, he did what he should and what he could.
