Volume 1 Chapter 796 The Eve of Promotion
At noon, colleagues from the Political Department went out to eat hamburgers, and Sheng Wanyan brought Gu Tingxiao along. Although Gu Tingxiao didn't talk much, he would not ignore others.
He answers whatever is asked, and his words are few but very useful.
"Captain Gu's vacation should be quite long this time, right?"
"Three months."
"That's great, you can spend more time with our comrade Sheng and the children in Country M."
"Um."
Everyone was used to Gu Tingxiao's simple answers. Soldiers were always quiet and concise, and they, the diplomats, had to deal with soldiers a lot.
"Captain Gu, our comrade Sheng is outstanding and beautiful, you must take good care of her."
"Yes, we are half of Comrade Sheng's family. If you don't treat Comrade Sheng well, we will not let you go in the future."
"Of course I won't let her suffer any injustice."
Sheng Wanyan glanced at Gu Tingxiao. Gu Tingxiao had a serious expression on his face and answered his colleagues' questions seriously without any dissatisfaction.
He wants his wife to be able to get along well wherever she goes and live a good life, so that he can feel at ease.
"Captain Gu, please remember what you said."
"nature."
Sheng Wanyan pinched the hand she was holding under the table with amusement. Gu Tingxiao looked down at her, and Sheng Wanyan gave him a reproachful look.
Gu Tingxiao didn't say anything, but shook the little hand under the table, giving her enough sense of security in this marriage.
It would be strange if no one noticed the little action of the two of them, their eyes were almost tearing, but everyone was happy to watch!
When you are tired from work, why not watch some sweet romance dramas to relax yourself at work?
Gu Tingxiao's vacation ends on April 5th, and he will return to China on April 3rd, so there is still a full month and a half left.
Sheng Wanyan was used to separation, but she had relied on Gu Tingxiao for so long that she was reluctant to see him leave.
Sheng Wanyan was in a low mood, and Gu Tingxiao saw it at a glance. He squeezed her hand soothingly to make her feel better.
"We're almost done eating, let's go back and take a nap."
"Go, go, go, don't disturb the couple's date."
Sheng Wanyan has heard her colleagues' jokes countless times a day, and she has really refreshed her understanding of these handsome men.
"Comrade Sheng, we're leaving first."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Sheng Wanyan also joked with her colleagues, saying that it’s only a journey of less than ten minutes, so don’t you think it would be a bad thing to be careful on the road?
But everyone was happy in their hearts. Comrade Sheng was desperate and did something desperate. It would be strange if everyone was not happy.
Sheng Wanyan had almost finished eating, and everyone rushed back for lunch, leaving only Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao.
"Your vacation will be over in a month and a half."
"Well, I'll try to get some time off to come and see you and the kids."
Gu Tingxiao touched the back of her head. Sheng Wanyan leaned in his arms, and Gu Tingxiao put his hand on her shoulder.
“Crack!”
The sound of the camera rang out, and Gu Tingxiao instantly sat up straight and looked back with sharp eyes. When he saw the little man outside, his sharp eyes instantly softened.
"Mom and Dad! Look at the pictures I took of you!"
Yi Yi was followed by Louis. She also came to this hamburger restaurant after class. She happened to run into her parents. Seeing their backs leaning on each other, she thought it was a beautiful sight, so she took out her camera to take pictures.
"Is get out of class over yet? Aren't you taking a lunch break at school today?"
Sheng Wanyan was also a little surprised when she saw Yiyi. Usually the child took a nap at school, so why did he come out today?
"I want to eat this burger, Uncle Louis took me here."
"In that case, how about going home and taking a nap later?"
"Okay, I'll sleep with mom in my arms."
Yi Yi threw herself into Sheng Wanyan's arms. Sheng Wanyan smiled and rubbed her head. Gu Tingxiao went to order two hamburger sets for Louis and Yi Yi.
Louis nodded to Gu Tingxiao, then sat next to Yi Yi and started eating. Yi Yi couldn't finish so much, so he gave half to Louis.
The two of them got along harmoniously. Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao looked at the photos taken one by one, and not to mention that the photos were very artistic.
It was snowing, and through the glass door, the backs of a man and a woman cuddling each other looked very beautiful and happy.
Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao only looked at this one photo. The photos before that were all taken by themselves, but they didn't look at them either. They turned off the camera and put it aside.
“I’m full!”
Yi Yi took out a handkerchief to wipe her little hands clean, and Sheng Wanyan wiped off the residue on her mouth.
"Let's go, Louis, you should go back and rest too, I'll pick you up later."
Louis nodded, handed Yi Yi safely to his parents and left. Yi Yi held his parents' hands and walked towards home.
The children's laughter, jumping and skipping, could even be heard by the birds hibernating in the trees.
"Mom, let me tell you, I was praised by the teacher again today!"
“So amazing.”
"Yes, the teacher said I can participate in the TV performance in June."
"We are really excellent and awesome."
"Then all the great-grandparents and great-great-great-grandparents will be able to see it one by one."
"Of course, mom will record the video of Yi Yi dancing and show it to the elders."
"Ting Xiao, don't you think so?"
The mother and daughter were chattering away, and the father, holding the child's hand, was listening patiently and responding to his wife's questions from time to time.
"Um."
———
Soon it was evening, Zhou Bin, Zhao Yuer, Wei Guoan, and Shen Anbang all came home for dinner.
Everyone was satisfied with the meal and left with a bulging stomach. Sheng Wanyan also learned from Zhao Yuer about her promotion.
"You've been promoted so quickly, so it's inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied."
"You, what you need to do is to prove your own strength and ignore those rumors."
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I won't care."
When Zhao Yuer heard her words, she patted her hands in relief. She was afraid that the noise outside would affect her junior sister's mood and work.
"That's good. You know what's going on, and we can rest assured."
Sheng Wanyan smiled and nodded. She knew that some people would definitely be dissatisfied with her rapid promotion.
But she doesn't care. She won't give up things that belong to her, and she won't snatch things that don't belong to her.
But if someone else competes with her for it, then she will snatch it away!
The next day, Sheng Wanyan came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a black suit. Everyone gathered in the auditorium as a promotion meeting was to be held today.
Zhou Bin was holding a list in his hand. All the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were sitting below. Many of them had ideas in their minds, and many were very excited, hoping that their names would be on the list.
Secretary Mu walked onto the stage to host the event. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Secretary Mu on the stage.
"Good morning, comrades. I think everyone knows why I asked you to come here today."
