Chapter 191 I've struck gold
Yu Li exclaimed in surprise, "So Minister Tang is your teacher. No wonder!"
Tang Zhongyi is known to almost everyone in China; he is a very important figure known to people of all ages.
The then-highest-ranking official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was incredibly refined and gentle in his youth, and even now, with graying temples, he still retains his former elegance.
Known by the people as the most gentlemanly diplomat, or as young people would say today, "Even an old Ferrari is still a Ferrari."
Tang Zhongyi was Qi Chenyan's teacher, so it's not surprising that he mentored Qi Chenyan, a leading figure in the new generation of diplomacy.
Deng Bailing was obviously aware of Qi Chenyan's marriage, and her gaze towards Yu Li was no longer so hostile. Instead, she looked Yu Li up and down with a rather curious look.
"So you're the wife that Shen Yan talks about all the time. He cherishes you so much. Lao Yi and I invited him to bring you home for dinner several times before, but he always said you were busy with work and we'd talk about it when you had time."
"So you're not only busy with work, but also busy with charity work!"
However, the word "charity" carries a somewhat unfriendly tone.
Qi Chenyan explained, "Teacher Deng, the police have made some progress in their investigation of the chocolate. The chocolate should have been secretly given to the child by the intern who went with Lili."
“At the time, Lili asked the intern to leave and not disturb the children’s class, but she did not leave. Instead, she hid in a corner, which led to Qianqian’s death.”
After explaining the whole story, Qi Chenyan sincerely apologized: "Although this was not what Lili wanted, this intern does belong to Blue Sky TV after all."
"Teacher Deng, you can use the intern's lack of professional competence as a reason to report to Lantian, and all the harm caused to Qianqian can also be included as one of your demands."
Yu Li was so impressed with Qi Chenyan's words that she almost wanted to give him a thumbs up.
The whole thing started with Ren Qingxue's chocolate, and because of Ren Qingxue's lack of professionalism, one of the children in the orphanage became critically ill.
If the orphanage were to file a complaint with Blue Sky TV, such a basic and fatal mistake would eliminate the need for Yu Li to give Ren Qingxue a low score and eliminate her.
This one point alone was enough for Lantian to fire him in order to quell the matter.
After all, this involves a life. Qianqian is still in the ICU. If Lantian wants to avoid taking responsibility, the only and best thing to do is to fire Ren Qingxue.
Moreover, Ren Qingxue is just an intern. Lan Tian doesn't have to take full responsibility for the mistakes she makes. Ren Qingxue herself will have to deal with the headaches of her own mistakes.
This would both let Lan Tian know the consequences of hiring Ren Qingxue through back channels and make Ren Qingxue reap what she sowed—it was a double win.
It has to be said that when it comes to scheming, Qi Chenyan is the real master!
After hearing the whole story, Deng Bailing realized she had blamed the wrong person and immediately apologized to Yu Li.
"It turns out I misunderstood. I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I made you suffer. I'm just too hasty. I called the police without understanding the situation, and I'm so sorry that you had to suffer."
An elder apologized to her in public, and Yu Li quickly helped the elder up. "Teacher Deng, I understand that you were worried about Qianqian. Besides, if you hadn't called the police, the real culprit would have gotten away with it."
After all, the incident happened suddenly. If Deng Bailing hadn't called the police, Yu Li wouldn't have realized belatedly that Ren Qingxue was also in the classroom at the time.
The police didn't bother to check the surveillance footage, but instead followed the clues and caught Ren Qingxue, the culprit.
It can only be said that every cause has its effect. Yu Li only sat in the police station for a while and was questioned, but she did not suffer any substantial harm.
Moreover, after realizing she had blamed the wrong person, Deng Bailing immediately apologized, indicating that she was only addressing the issue, not the person.
"Qianqian's situation is quite urgent. If there is any need for help, Lili and I will do our best to assist her."
After all, Yu Li was only there as a volunteer to help, and besides, a heart is something that can't be saved by chance. Fortunately, Qianqian met Qi Chenyan and Deng Bailing.
If the two of them work together to find a suitable heart, their chances of success will be higher.
The dean naturally understood the significance of Qi Chenyan's promise and expressed his gratitude with tears in his eyes: "Director Qi, thank you so much."
"Today's accident has also caused Miss Yu a lot of trouble. This is also due to the shortcomings of our orphanage's work. If I had explained Qianqian's situation to Miss Yu earlier, we wouldn't have let an intern harm Qianqian."
Yu Li helped the orphanage director and said, "Director, you flatter me. Since I volunteered at the orphanage and served as a teacher for a day, I have a certain responsibility to each and every child."
"If anything happens to Qianqian, please feel free to contact me anytime. We will work together to snatch the child's life back from the clutches of death."
The dean was so moved that he repeatedly said "good" to the dean.
Deng Bailing looked at Yu Li and nodded in satisfaction.
While Yu Li and the dean went in to see Qianqian, Deng Bailing pulled Qi Chenyan aside.
"Xiao Yu is a good kid. He is kind-hearted and responsible. Even after the matter was clarified, he was still willing to lend a helping hand."
As she spoke, Deng Bailing patted Qi Chenyan on the shoulder, "You've really struck gold, kid. No wonder you treasure it so much and have been keeping it hidden away, refusing to bring your wife to meet me and your master until now."
Qi Chenyan smiled and said, "It's not that I'm hiding anything, but a lot of things have happened before, which has delayed me until now. But I assure you that I will definitely make time to visit you and Master soon."
After saying that, Qi Chenyan changed the subject again: "I just don't know if you are available this week."
"What's this? You were making excuses before, but now you're in such a hurry to invite me and your master to dinner?"
Qi Chenyan smiled and said, "There's no rush to eat, but Lili has a talk show called 'Celebrity Interviews' recently. I wonder if you've heard of it?"
"I heard from your master that this was your first time being interviewed by a TV station. It turns out it was a program hosted by your wife. Did you go there to support your wife?"
In response, Qi Chenyan humbly replied, "When it comes to making a good impression, how can I, as a junior, compare to you?"
Those who can reach Deng Bailing's position are naturally all intelligent people.
You don't need to say things too definitively to instantly understand what the other person means.
"So you're trying to pull strings for your wife here?"
Qi Chenyan asked, "Didn't you say you admire Lili's character and way of dealing with people? Even if I didn't mention it, I imagine you would gladly accept an invitation from Lili, right?"
