Chapter 55 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
At that moment, she only vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day, when she saw the table full of people in the conference room, that she couldn't keep up her smile.
It seems like he offered me a pretty high-ranking position?
The ministers were all waiting here, just for her. Some of them had sour faces, including those who wanted to compete for the position of president or vice president.
"The vice president is such a busy person, making so many people wait for you." Jian Caiwei said sarcastically. It's one thing to be overshadowed by Fang Yihuai, since he has a good teacher, but who is she anyway?
She was not convinced.
Lin Wei glanced at her phone. It was 4:58 PM. Fang Yihuai wasn't that unreliable and wouldn't trick her, so the time they agreed to meet was 5 PM.
"If I remember correctly, I'm not late, am I?" she replied rudely to the person she didn't recognize.
But my heart wasn't as calm as it appeared. Oh, so I'm the vice president that Wen Xianyi was talking about, who's not exactly a good person either.
From the perspective of others, the newly arrived vice president merely glanced at Minister Jian with an indifferent look, as if looking at an insignificant speck of dust, drifting by lightly, seemingly unconcerned.
This indifference felt more like the way one treats someone in a lower position, carrying a subtle, almost imperceptible arrogance, as if to say, "Who do you think you are?" Frankly, it contrasted sharply with her appearance.
With just that one sentence, everyone knew that the new vice president was not to be trifled with, and for a moment, no one was willing to be the one to stick their neck out.
Nonsense, this person was chosen by the president. Anyone who makes things difficult for him in front of him is practically telling him, "I'm going to oppose you." Especially since this new vice president is clearly not someone to be trifled with. I wonder what gives her the confidence.
That stern, expressionless face is truly frightening.
After the group left, Lin Wei no longer stood up straight, her back relaxed completely. "The temporary post you mentioned, you just gave me the position of vice president? No wonder people were so upset, their eyes were practically murderous." Without her disguise, she was no longer the imposing figure she had been earlier, just lazily complaining to people.
Fang Yihuai: "Ahem, since you already know him, why don't you do me a favor?" He said a little guiltily, and under Lin Wei's deadpan gaze, he said, "A foreign school is coming to visit our A University, and the matter has been handed over to the External Relations Department. However, we are currently short of an English translator. Could you help us out in this emergency?"
It's not that University A can't find a single person who speaks English; it's just that there are people right in front of us, but we're too lazy to look for them. As for English proficiency, he had already witnessed it when he was abroad, and he was confident that even English majors might not be able to match her.
Lin Wei asked in confusion, "Aren't you good at English too? What have you been doing?"
Fang Yihuai shrugged and said, "I have to go to a math conference with my teacher, so I'm busy." He had originally wanted to find an English major to help out, but she just offered herself up.
Lin Wei thought for a moment and asked, "When?" This meant she had already agreed to the matter; after all, she was getting the credits, and she couldn't just do nothing.
Fang Yihuai immediately smiled and said, "This Sunday morning, I'll have someone from the External Relations Department contact you at the exact time."
"Though those people are a bit confused, they are quite reliable when it comes to important matters, as long as you are ruthless enough." This was the secret to managing the student council that the previous president told him.
Lin Wei was stunned. "Really?" Thinking about how her words had silenced everyone, it seemed that maybe what she said was true? No wonder Wen Xianyi said he was fierce, so that's why.
After Lin Wei left, Fang Yihuai laughed out loud in the conference room, thinking about her expression earlier. "She actually believed it?" No former president had ever told him any secrets. It was just that those people deserved to be scolded. They were always looking for trouble and causing all sorts of problems. He tried to speak to them nicely, but they wouldn't listen at all. They would only listen after he scolded them. Fang Yihuai had no idea what kind of temper they had.
Now he's being called a living devil, even though he used to be such a kind person.
Because he really wanted to vent, Zhang Mo became his target the next second, eventually forcing the usually good-tempered man to hang up the phone.
He's getting more and more long-winded.
Fang Yihuai looked at the phone that had been hung up. "Sigh, another day of being disliked. Life is so lonely." Luckily, no one saw it, otherwise they would have thought he had a split personality. After all, he could be really ruthless when he cursed, but he could also be quite abstract when he wanted to.
Although Lin Wei remembered the incident after she left, she didn't take it too seriously, because English translation was a small matter for her and didn't require much effort.
So when the head of the external relations department added her, she only asked about the time and place, then asked them to come up with a detailed plan and send her a copy, and that was it. She was quite easy to talk to.
This surprised the head of the external relations department, who had already anticipated being given a hard time. She thought the vice president had a bad temper and would put on airs, but it seems she's alright? She just doesn't know how good her English is.
While Lin Wei was still studying clinical medicine, in the United States, one of the schools was also discussing visiting University A. Upon hearing the name "Flower Country," Snan felt nothing but disgust.
"What's so interesting about that country?" Whenever he thought of the Flower Country, he thought of Lin Wei. He lost that competition so badly that he also lost the dignity of his country.
Elton: "How dare you say that? Do you know how the media is making fun of our country because of what you said? It's all because of you, Snana. You are a sinner against our country."
Ovit quickly stopped the two, saying, "Alright, stop talking. A loss is a loss. We were just outmatched. It's not like our country was the only one that lost; other countries lost too."
Elton retorted, "But they only lost the game, while we lost our dignity. You'll see, I'll definitely get my revenge this time."
"I want the people of the Flower Country to know that the United States is the world's number one cultural power, and that last time was just an accident." If he hadn't missed the last competition, the United States wouldn't have lost.
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Ovid's eyes. He feared that he would be humiliated like Snami, because the Flower Kingdom seemed to have changed; it had become much stronger.
However, if he were to listen to him, he wouldn't be Elton; he would simply ignore what he said.
Lin Wei had no idea that she would run into an acquaintance during this external liaison trip; otherwise, she would have been even more pleasantly surprised. Last time abroad, she had at least toned it down a bit, but in China, this was her home turf. It would be a real problem if a foreigner stole the spotlight and embarrassed her.
However, some things might be a little unexpected. The Minister of External Relations initially set the time for 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, and even the proposal stated the time as 9:30 a.m. But someone gave the wrong time to the people from Country M, and they arrived at 8:00 a.m.
At this moment, she wanted to call Lin Wei and ask her to come and save the day, but then Jian Caiwei arrived with a girl. "Mu Qian is an English major and has won many first prizes in English speech contests. It's no problem to leave the translation to her."
At this point, the Minister of External Relations would be a fool not to know that she was behind it all. However, since it was too late to call Lin Wei over now, and he trusted that Jian Caiwei wouldn't joke about something like this and that the people she brought would be professionals, he ultimately used the people she brought.
Jian Caiwei was not surprised at all. As long as this exchange with foreign countries is a complete success, it doesn't matter who the English translator is; what matters is the result.
Indeed, Fang Yihuai didn't care who translated it. If she could find a translator and make the matter a success, he would be dissatisfied, but he would only say a few words and let it go. However, the premise was that this foreign exchange could be a complete success.
His approach to Lin Wei likely stemmed from a deeper consideration: whether the people of the US were easy to talk to, especially since he knew that the school in Smirnoff was involved in international exchanges. Although he didn't know if Lin Wei would come, anyone with a sense of national pride would not let the matter rest after hearing that Lin Wei had conceded defeat to the United States.
This is also a double insurance.
However, he did not expect that someone would interfere, acting presumptuously and thinking they were clever.
At the math conference, Fang Yihuai frowned as he watched the Minister of External Relations calling incessantly, even when the phone was muted. He wondered what could possibly go wrong, even though he had made all the necessary arrangements.
Moreover, Lin Wei didn't call, so it's probably not related to this external exchange.
Seeing the speaker reach the most exciting part, he hung up immediately and continued listening to the lecture. However, his phone soon started vibrating again. Professor Liang, hearing this, said to him, "If it's anything, go outside and answer it. You can listen to the recording afterward." His phone had been vibrating incessantly, so it must be something urgent.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yihuai finally took his phone and went outside. "What's wrong?" As soon as he answered the phone, he heard the Minister of External Relations' plea for help. "President, something's happened! People from the US have come to our school to cause trouble. I've asked many senior students majoring in mathematics, but they've all been stumped by them. Where are you now? Come back and save the day!"
At University A, the head of the External Relations Department was so anxious he was almost in tears. Looking at the chaos before him, he could only think of two words: "It's all over."
Fang Yihuai looked at the ground he was standing on, took a deep breath. Could he possibly fly back from another province for her? In the end, he held back his anger and said, "Where is the vice president? Didn't I say that this matter was entrusted to the vice president?" Now he knew that this matter had never even reached her hands.
So now you know to look for someone? What were you doing before?
The head of the external relations department tried to explain, but was immediately interrupted, "Alright, I don't want to hear your nonsense. If you have something to say, go find the vice president. If she's unwilling to go, there's nothing I can do. You'll have to figure it out yourself." Then he hung up.
He hung up?
The head of the external relations department stared at the black screen in disbelief. How could it have ended like that? Shouldn't he be very nervous? Why did he just wash his hands of the matter?
In mathematics, he was Professor Liang's student, and she really couldn't think of anyone else who could handle that group of people from the United States.
However, the laughter from not far away, mixed with English, came one after another towards them. Finally, she gritted her teeth and, as a last resort, called Lin Wei.
The beeping sound made the wait seem exceptionally long.
