Chapter 399 By What Right?
This time, he said "I'm sorry" especially loudly.
Yao Jianshu stopped, turned around and walked back to Jin, saying, "Senior, this is the first time, and I accept your apology. But I hope this won't happen again. I'm here to learn, not to play games of intrigue. If you treat me with respect, I'll treat you with even more respect. Let's keep to ourselves. Can you do that?"
Senior Jin gave a curt "hmm" with a cold face.
Yao Jianshu took out paper and pen and asked him, "What was the content of your meeting this morning? Repeat it to me, I need to write it down."
Senior Jin, "..."
“Because the senior deliberately gave the wrong time, I not only wasted half the afternoon, but I also missed the morning. You are responsible for leading us on behalf of Vice Minister Li and conveying Vice Minister Li’s arrangements for the semester. I have the right to know.” Yao Jianshu tilted her head slightly and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Student Yao."
Deputy Regiment Commander Luan took out his notes and handed them over, saying, "These are the key points I've noted down. You can take a look."
"Thanks."
Yao Jianshu didn't stand on ceremony, took the notebook, stuffed it into her bag, and still looked intently at Senior Jin.
Senior Jin was utterly speechless.
The ancients said that only women and petty men are difficult to deal with, and this has certainly proven them right.
But even after things have escalated to this point, Yao Jianshu is clearly still furious. If he dares to say no, she'll turn around and complain to the school. It's really unlucky.
He cursed inwardly, but kept a cold expression on his face as he began to speak rapidly.
After talking for almost half an hour with a dry mouth, he finished reciting everything that Vice Minister Li had instructed him, took a breath, and glared at Yao Jianshu.
Yao Jianshu pretended not to see it, and instead gripped his pen to jot down the important points.
Senior Jin spoke too fast; it was clearly intentional.
Yao Jianshu, her face expressionless, picked out the parts she hadn't remembered completely and asked him, "What came next? You spoke too quickly just now, could you please repeat it..."
Senior Jin, "..."
He was so angry at this woman!
Senior Jin felt that even his rapid breathing carried a murderous intent; he wanted to kill someone.
Damn Yao Jianshu!
He was furious, and almost gritted his teeth as he repeated what Yao Jianshu had made him say. Yao Jianshu took notes, and it seemed he was ready to make him repeat himself if he spoke again.
Senior Jin slowed down and looked at the few points she hadn't fully noted down in her notes, then went over them one by one.
After finishing his notes, Secretary Yao Jian let out a slight breath and looked up to thank Senior Jin.
"Thank you for conveying my message. Because of your deliberate attempts to make things difficult, our first meeting was a bit unpleasant. I heard that you will be going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs next semester. Congratulations to you! I hope that even if we have unpleasant encounters in the future, we can still get along peacefully."
Seeing that Senior Jin's eyebrows were twitching and he didn't like her at all, Yao Jianshu decided to say, "If something like this happens again today, I won't tolerate it. Even if it means we both suffer, I will get justice for myself. I'm a housewife with a family and children. The worst outcome is that I have to go back to my family. Senior Jin has a bright future ahead of him. Are you sure you want to ruin your future and go against me?"
Senior Jin was stunned for a moment.
Yao Jianshu is right. He has a bright future ahead of him, so why would he ruin his future by messing with a madman?
He gritted his teeth, sneered, and said, "Don't worry, this won't happen again, and I wouldn't stoop to it."
"Thank you, senior."
Yao Jianshu thanked him, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."
Senior Jin didn't want to see her for even a second, and quickly waved his hand.
After Yao Jianshu left, Deputy Regiment Commander Luan gave Senior Jin a meaningful look, said nothing, and also turned to leave.
Senior Jin felt a chill run down his spine under his gaze, then suddenly remembered the man's background and quickly forced a smile, "Vice Regiment Commander Luan, I've already apologized for this, you..."
“If Yao doesn’t pursue the matter, I won’t interfere. I hope Senior Jin will behave himself in the future,” said Deputy Regiment Commander Luan.
Senior Jin smiled and nodded, "Yes, don't worry."
Deputy Regiment Commander Luan hummed in agreement and left the office.
Senior Jin waited a while before daring to lose his temper. He slammed his hand on the desk and cursed, "Outrageous! A piece of trash like her dares to bully me? You think she's easy to bully but I am?"
He slapped himself so hard his hand bounced back, and with a grimace, he pulled it back and kicked the office chair.
He cursed and swore, smashing and throwing things, and it took him a long time to calm down his anger.
After finally sitting down, panting heavily, she noticed that some people were still there. She sat up abruptly and glared at Zhao Shucheng, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Zhao Shucheng coughed a few times and greeted him with a forced smile, "Senior."
"That woman is all talk and no action. Don't bother with her. Anyway, she won't get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At most, she'll go back to being an English teacher. She won't be able to get the resources that Vice Minister Li is giving us. With a senior as outstanding as you, getting into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a sure thing."
Senior Jin glanced at him and gave a cold snort in annoyance.
"However, if you really can't tolerate her, I have a trick that might force her to drop out of school."
Senior Jin's eyes lit up.
Seeing his interest, Zhao Shucheng swallowed hard and whispered in his ear.
"...Isn't there a large investment promotion conference next month? I heard that many returned overseas Chinese will be investing in the country, and many foreigners will come to investigate our domestic market. If we arrange for her to attend, she's a native-born Chinese, and it's obvious she's never dealt with foreigners before. Her teaching English is so limited; asking her to communicate directly with foreigners, with so many technical terms and grammatically incorrect dialogues, she definitely won't be able to speak properly. Do you think she'll make a complete fool of herself and ruin the investments of the foreign guests and returned overseas Chinese? How will she be able to continue her studies then?!"
Senior Jin's eyes lit up, but he didn't immediately agree. Instead, he looked at Zhao Shucheng warily and asked, "What do you want?"
He wouldn't be foolish enough to believe Zhao Shucheng's words that he was just like him and couldn't stand seeing a woman competing with them for resources.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I would like to ask Senior Jin to put in a good word for me with Vice Minister Li."
"……Can."
After thinking for a moment, Senior Jin agreed, "However, I have one condition."
Zhao Shucheng was delighted. "Go on," he said.
"I'm entrusting this matter to you. If you do a good job, you can really drive Yao Jianshu away. When I join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I can take you as my assistant and let you start your internship early so that Vice Minister Li can see your excellence and that you are capable of great things," Senior Jin said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shucheng clenched his fist tightly.
That's exactly what I was waiting for.
"make a deal."
The two exchanged a smile, each with their own thoughts.
On the other side, Yao Jianshu left the office, walked quickly, found a secluded spot, sat down with her limbs weak, hugged her knees, buried her head, and sobbed.
They... are bullying us so much!
Why are they targeting her like this?
So what if she's a woman?
The leader also said that women hold up half the sky, so why are they spreading rumors about her?
Why do you say she's only fit to be a housewife?!
