Chapter 176 Foreign Affairs Activities
Early July
As the host, Kyoto University held an international organization education conference with the participation of many countries.
A total of thirteen countries attended this foreign affairs event, with representatives from more than one hundred countries and more than twenty international media reporting on the scene.
Ten trainees, including Chen Zan, finally completed ninety days of intensive training and participated in this foreign affairs activity as the final assessment.
The senior who led Chen Zan was Cai Yan, a first-level translator in the Translation Department. Chen Zan attended this assessment as an assistant to a first-level translator. He did not need to go on stage for simultaneous interpretation. He only needed to cooperate well to complete the task. The final comprehensive score was given by translator Cai Yan, which served as one of the passing criteria for the assessment.
Aunt Sun ironed the clothes that Chen Zan needed to wear early in the morning. She wore a white stand-up collar shirt with a gray suit skirt, and a black and gold belt to emphasize her waistline. She wore simple black high heels.
Seeing that there was still time, Chen Zan put on some light makeup.
Zhou Jingyu pushed the door open and saw Chen Zan's professional outfit. He raised his eyebrows slightly, then pushed her onto the dressing table and kissed her enough.
Chen Zhan had worn similar business attire at an exhibition before, but at that time Chen Zhan had not thought about getting back together with Zhou Jingyu, and the man had to act like a big shot in front of her, only able to look but not eat. Now he finally caught her wearing this outfit, and he did not strip her clothes off and do it to her on the spot, because he still had a bit of rationality.
Zhou Jingyu has always liked Chen Zan wearing some strange clothes. All kinds of uniform temptations are commonplace to him. This time, she didn't show her thighs or arms, and he didn't know what excited him.
The lipstick that Chen Zhan had put on with great difficulty was all eaten by him. Considering that it was his birthday today and she had to attend an event and didn't know how long she would be busy, Chen Zhan endured it.
Zhou Jingyu had an impolite smile on his face, and of course, the words he said were nice.
He only said in a calm and solemn tone, "You wear something inappropriate too often, and I can't stand seeing you wear something decent once in a while."
Chen Zhan: “…”
A beast in human clothing is a beast in human clothing. Who cares what you wear?

As a representative of the municipal government, Zhou Jingyu also had to attend this foreign affairs event, but he just went there to make a formal appearance and give an opening speech.
After that, he was going back to the Zhou family's old house for lunch. He had originally planned to take this opportunity to bring Chen Zan with him. The old lady had long wanted to meet her in person, but plans could not keep up with changes, so this time Zhou Jingyu had to go back alone.
When Zhou Jingyu went out in the morning, he also wanted to go, but Chen Zan did not go with him. After going down the mountain, he took a taxi to Peking University by himself.
Zhou Jintang is a graduate student at Peking University. The college was worried that they didn't have enough manpower to organize the event, so they transferred him over to help.
After arriving at Peking University, Chen Zan called Xie Huaiqian and Jiang Yushan before gathering with other students to sign in, in case he was too busy today and had no time to send messages.
After finishing these things, I happened to meet Zhou Jintang at the sign-in area.
When Zhou Jintang had a cold and serious face and did not smile, her already exquisite and gorgeous appearance exuded the temperament of a noble and cold daughter to the fullest. Just sitting there, the dogs passing by would stop to admire her before leaving.
It's hard not to suspect that the academy sent Zhou Jintang to help just to use her as a front.
In a formal setting, the two of them tacitly pretended to be unfamiliar with each other, but the moment their eyes met, both of them almost broke down. Fortunately, at the critical moment, both of them held back, but the twitching muscle lines on their faces looked weird no matter how they looked at them.
Before the suspicious gaze from the side swept over, Chen Zan lowered her head and signed her name in a flamboyant manner. Zhou Jintang handed her the work permit. They looked at each other for a moment, then quickly looked away.
As soon as he entered the door, he met Pei Yan's strange gaze. She was a senior translator from the Translation Department and also the senior who taught classes during Chen Zan's training and observation.
Pei Yan didn't look very well today. Even though she was wearing makeup, one could see the listless look underneath.
Chen Zhan politely called out "Teacher".
Pei Yan asked at this time: "Do you know the eldest daughter of the Zhou family?"
Chen Zhan was stunned for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Who is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family?"
"Zhou Jintang," Pei Yan said, "the graduate student who just handed you your work badge outside."
Chen Zhan exclaimed, "So it's that beautiful lady."
"Her eldest brother is Zhou Chengnian of the military, her second brother is Zhou Jingyu, the deputy chief of staff, and her father is Zhou Shao."
Chen Zhan showed a shocked expression, "So her background is so powerful."
Pei Yan was speechless for a moment, but Chen Zan's performance in the three months of training had always been outstanding, which saved Pei Yan a lot of worry. Unlike other students, he would not cause trouble for the seniors who came to teach except for their job duties.
Therefore, the relationship between the two has always been pretty good. Considering that Chen Zan has always behaved very steadily, Pei Yan did not ask any further questions.
He simply reminded her, "Today's assessment will determine whether you can stay here. Regardless of whether you know the eldest daughter of the Zhou family or not, no matter what happens, you must first do your job well."
Chen Zhan was taught and said modestly, "I will, Mr. Pei."
Pei Yan was not in a good mood today. She reminded Chen Zhan of the importance of this foreign affairs activity, and then she covered her stomach and asked Chen Zhan to help her sit down.
Chen Zhan helped her to a chair in the private lounge, frowned and asked worriedly, "Teacher Pei, are you having your period?"
Pei Yan nodded with a pale face.
"Then I'll go get you a cup of hot water."
As she said this, she stopped the staff on site and went to the hot water room to get some hot water. When she came back, Pei Yan's face was even paler.
She handed the water over, and Pei Yan took two sips. She seemed to feel a little better, but not much better.
Representatives from various countries outside have entered the venue one after another. The representative from Country F will speak third in line. Pei Yan will need to go on stage to do simultaneous interpretation at that time. She is not in good condition, and it will be troublesome if she cannot go on stage for a while.
Chen Zhan said seriously at this moment: "Teacher, do you have painkillers with you? If it really doesn't work, I'll find a doctor to help you."
For such large-scale foreign affairs activities, emergency medical personnel from Grade A hospitals are deployed on site.
Pei Yan grabbed her arm and pointed to the bag she had placed next to her. "The painkillers are in the bag. I took one this morning before I left. I don't know why it didn't work today."
As soon as Chen Zan took out the painkillers, Pei Yan couldn't wait to take another one.
"Teacher, if it doesn't work soon, you must get a doctor to come and take a look."
She urged for advice.
It is out of responsibility for the event and also for Pei Yan's health.
Pei Yan didn't refute, "I'll be patient."
Government leaders, representatives of organizers of foreign affairs activities, and presidents of educational institutions of international organizations took turns to deliver speeches, and dozens of media outlets at home and abroad reported live.
After taking painkillers, Pei Yan still forced herself to attend the opening ceremony, and Chen Zan stood with her in the delegation.
When Zhou Jingyu came on stage, several media flash cameras lit up at once. The man wore silver-rimmed glasses and walked with steady steps. His every gesture exuded the cold and sharp dominance of a superior.
Before speaking, he seemed to glance in Chen Zhan's direction intentionally or unintentionally. It was a tiny arc that was so subtle that no one could notice it except Chen Zhan.
The corners of her mouth were about to rise slightly, but she noticed Pei Yan was still watching her. She lowered her eyelashes and dared not look at the man on the stage again, for fear that the love in her eyes would be too obvious.
After Zhou Jingyu finished her speech as a representative of the government leaders, she also had to accept interviews from CCTV news media. When she stepped down from the stage, she looked in the direction of Chen Zan again and found that there was no one in her original position.
The moment the man frowned slightly, he had already arrived at the stage. He wanted to go over to take a look, but Zhang Qing came up to him and quietly reminded him that reporters and media were waiting.
