Volume 1 Chapter 728 New Year's Eve
"Go pick out a gift for your brother."
"Bring some chocolate for your brother."
Yi Yi only thought about food, and Sheng Wanyan readily agreed. No child would refuse chocolate.
"Then go pick out what you think is delicious for your brother."
Yi Yi nodded and chose one of her favorite chocolates, while Sheng Wanyan chose a scarf for the hostess.
After buying the gifts, Sheng Wanyan took her two children back home, changed into comfortable clothes, and then went to her colleague's house.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
"Comrade Sheng is here, come in quickly."
The colleague quickly let her in and introduced her to his wife and son. Sheng Wanyan greeted his colleague's wife with a smile.
"Hello, nice to meet you, please come in."
"Son, call someone."
"Hello, auntie, hello, sister."
Sheng Wanyan greeted the child with a smile and handed her gift to the hostess of the house.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I'm sorry for bothering you today."
"What are you talking about? I'm happy that you can come."
"Thanks to you colleagues for taking care of my husband, Mr. Xie. I have to thank you very much."
The hostess of the house enthusiastically pulled her to sit down and talk, and the children, because of the chocolate, soon started playing together.
"Old Xie has often told me that a talented female comrade has come to their department. After meeting her today, I can see that she is indeed as talented as her reputation has been."
"My sister-in-law praised me for making contributions to the country."
Mrs. Xie felt that she was being too modest. Anyone who could enter this department was definitely not an ordinary person.
"This is the cake I brought from China. I heard that you missed Chinese food in Country M. You and your child should be welcome today."
"Sister-in-law, I won't be polite."
Sister Xie was also happy to see her being so generous. She liked to associate with people like her.
"You sit down with everyone and rest. I'll go get ready."
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
"Comrade Sheng, let's come on. We agreed that you and the child would wait for food today."
Colleagues tried to stop her from coming to work. After all, what was promised must be done, and Comrade Sheng helped them a lot.
"Okay, then I'll go play with some kids."
Some of my colleagues have children living with them in Country M, and some come here specifically to visit relatives. In an instant, the embassy becomes lively. When the Chinese New Year comes, more family members will come.
"OK."
The house was bustling with activity, and several leaders were invited to come over for dinner and celebrate the New Year together tonight.
Zhou Bin, Wei Guoan and others did not get off work early today. The leaders are even busier during the New Year holidays.
At 6 o'clock, Zhou Bin, Zhang Enmin, Wei Guoan, and Shen Anbang finally arrived. They had just returned from meeting with the mayor of Country M.
"Director, Deputy Director, Director, Deputy Director."
"It smells so good. We are in for a treat today."
The four leaders were also greedy, and they believed that a lively and lively atmosphere was necessary for the holidays. Even the family compound of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was decorated with red lanterns, paper cuttings, etc.
"Leaders, please have a cup of tea and rest first. The meal will be ready soon."
Sister Xie hurried forward to entertain the four leaders. These were her husband's leaders, so she had to entertain them well and not make any mistakes.
"No need to be busy. It's not working hours. No need to be restrained."
"Hey! Those leaders treat it like their own home, do as you please."
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she immediately agreed. She stopped hanging around in front of the leaders and went back to the kitchen to work.
Sheng Wanyan was playing games with some children. Zhou Bin saw her and waved, asking her to come in and chat with them.
Sister Xie is a smart person. When she saw Sheng Wanyan being familiar with several leaders, she was glad that she did not look down on her just because she was a woman.
"Seventh Uncle."
Yi Yi used her hands and feet to climb onto Zhou Bin. Sheng Wanyan gave her a stern look, and Yi Yi immediately sat obediently on the sofa.
"It's okay, it's okay. I haven't seen Yi Yi for a while."
"Is there going to be a performance next month? Can I go and watch it, uncle?"
"Of course, I've reserved a few tickets for my uncle and uncles."
Yi Yi will never forget her uncle-master. Her uncle-master was so good to her. How could she forget him?
"Okay, okay, then we'll have time to watch Yi Yi's performance."
Several leaders agreed that it was not an easy thing to perform in a ballet theater, and they also wanted to feel the artistic atmosphere.
It happened to be a performance in the evening, so they might actually have time to go and see Yi Yi.
Sheng Wanyan shook her head helplessly. In China, this girl has her family, her master and her mistress, as well as many elders who pamper her.
After coming here, she is pampered by her senior uncle Zhou Bin, several leaders, colleagues and diplomats. She feels that her daughter is a group darling in a novel.
"Brother, this girl is a devil, don't indulge her like that."
"No, we are so well-behaved and sensible, and we are great at dancing and playing the piano."
Zhou Bin disagreed. He could see that Yi Yi was a child who would not be spoiled and was polite and well-mannered. There was nothing wrong in loving a child like this more.
Sheng Wanyan was very helpless. After arriving in Country M, Zhou Bin was the one who doted on Yi Yi the most, and he often went out to attend meetings with the Country M government.
When he came back, he brought a lot of toys and snacks for Yi Yi, and some of them were gifts from the mayor of Country M, which were very commemorative.
"Seventh Master, you are so kind. I will buy you delicious food in the future."
"Little mouth, Master Uncle will wait for you to buy me delicious food in the future."
Zhou Bin pinched Yi Yi's little face. Sheng Wanyan could say that she envied her daughter's being loved by everyone, and she envied her coaxing mouth even more.
With the arrival of several leaders, dinner started soon. The children sat at the coffee table and the adults sat at the dining table.
As a leader, Zhou Bin still has to say a word of blessing. Zhou Bin is not polite. After all, even if he doesn't say it, everyone will ask him to say it.
"I won't drink today. I have to work tomorrow."
"I will use water instead of wine to wish you all a prosperous new year."
"Okay, thank you, Director."
Everyone was happy to hear this. Who doesn’t want to get promoted? The purpose of working is to get promoted and have a say.
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate. The new year had arrived and their Ministry of Foreign Affairs also had new goals and tasks.
"Don't be disgusted, they are just some home-cooked dishes."
The hostess was entertaining everyone and the children were drinking soda, they were so happy.
After dinner, colleagues went out to celebrate the New Year, and Sheng Wanyan also went out with her two children.
They went to the square where everyone was waiting for the countdown. It was not convenient for them to go to such a crowded place with their child, as it would be bad if the child got lost.
So they chose to go to a bar to drink cocktails, and then go to the square to count down with everyone when it was almost 12 o'clock!
