Song Shishi followed Xie Youan into an office where Xie Yushan was sitting behind his desk.
Seeing her coming, Xie Yushan stood up, walked to the sofa beside him, and motioned for her to sit down: "Comrade Xiao Song is here, please sit down."
Song Shishi sat down as she was told and called out, "Mr. Xie."
Xie You stood quietly behind Xie Yushan, with his hands folded in front of him and a solemn expression.
Song Shishi glanced at him and quickly looked away.
"Comrade Xiao Song is from Beijing?" Xie Yushan asked casually while brewing tea leisurely.
Song Shishi didn't understand Xie Yushan's purpose, so she could only cooperate and respond, "Yes."
Logically speaking, Mr. Gong should have mentioned this information to Xie Yushan a long time ago, but today he specifically called her over and asked again. I don't know what he wants to do.
"What do your parents do?" Xie Yushan looked up at her and asked.
...
...
Why are you asking about your parents?
Do you want to do a background check on her?
But if you think about it, since she has passed the assessment, she will have to receive diplomatic personnel and do a background check, which is understandable.
So she did not hide it and said frankly: "My father is a soldier and my mother used to be a teacher."
"A soldier? His last name is Song." Xie Yushan muttered in a low voice, his brows raised unconsciously, and then asked: "Is it convenient for you to tell me your father's position in the army?"
Song Shishi nodded, "Father is now the head of the military region."
"Our Jingshi Military District?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Xie Yushan paused, "Your father is Song Zhenhua, Chief Song?"
"Yes." Song Shishi nodded.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, she is actually the daughter of an old friend." Xie Yushan seemed very happy and said loudly: "Your father and I have been friends for many years. We also went to the battlefield together."
Xie Yushan laughed twice, "When I met your father, he was not yet together with your mother."
Thinking of how her father Song Zhenhua would always look at the photos of him and Xie Yushan from time to time, and how she had never seen Xie Yushan in all these years since she could remember.
Since the two of them are such good friends, why haven't they kept in touch over the years?
Thinking this in her mind, Song Shishi asked directly.
Xie Yushan seemed to be recalling something from a long time ago. He was silent for a moment before he replied, "After your parents got married, something happened to me and I had to hide my identity. Later, I returned to Beijing and was busy with official duties, plus I was in poor health. I only recently found out that your father is now the head of the Beijing Military Region."
In fact, when Song Shishi asked, she never thought about Xie Yushan explaining to her.
Because the one who really wanted to hear the answer was not her, but Song Zhenhua.
But Xie Yushan unexpectedly explained to her patiently.
Xie Yushan pulled his thoughts back from his memories and waved to Xie Youan behind him.
"Comrade Xiao Song, let me formally introduce you. This is my youngest son, Xie Youan, who also works in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You should have met him during your interview."
Song Shishi smiled and nodded politely to Xie Youan, pretending that they didn't know each other.
She found that Xie Yushan's attitude towards her became much warmer since he knew that her father was Song Zhenhua.
The last time he had dinner with Mr. Gong and others, Xie Yushan acted a little cold, even like a superior.
When they met today, Xie Yushan was just polite to her at first, but now he feels close to her like an elder towards a younger person.
She prefers Xie Yushan's current attitude towards her, which makes her feel more comfortable getting along with him.
After Xie Yushan finished his introduction, he got to the point.
“I called you here this time mainly for two things.
The first is the diplomatic work in a week. Because there are many aspects involved, the preliminary preparations require more communication between you and Youan.
Second, Mr. Gong introduced you to me last time.
I believe you are aware that I am planning to recruit disciples, but this is a very serious matter, so I need to find someone I like among so many outstanding talents.
Although you currently only have a high school diploma, based on your previous performance, I still think you are qualified to run for election with other outstanding talents.
Of course, that’s if you want to.”
I believe that many people have shown their faces in front of Xie Yushan, just to leave a good impression in front of him and have the opportunity to become his disciples.
Such an opportunity is also rare for Song Shishi now.
She never thought that Xie Yushan would take the initiative to find her and tell her about this.
Although he had not yet agreed to accept her as a disciple, and only gave her the qualification to run for the election, Song Shishi still couldn't help but get excited.
In fact, she had heard of Xie Yushan's name in her previous life, but at that time she didn't know that Mr. Xie from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was her father's good friend Xie Yushan.
"I am willing. I am really grateful that you recognize my abilities and give me this opportunity. I will work hard to prove myself." Song Shishi stood up and bowed solemnly to Xie Yushan to express her gratitude.
Xie Yushan also stood up and said with a smile: "You should train well these few days and prepare for next week's work. When you go back, tell your father for me that I will come to visit you after I am done with this busy period."
"Okay, I'll pass on the message. My dad will be very happy to see you."
"Really? Hahahaha..."
After coming out of Xie Yushan's office, Xie Youan escorted her all the way out of the administrative building.
"This is the first time I've seen my dad so happy."
Just when she was thinking about whether to take the bus back directly or go to the street to buy something for Xu Li and send it back, Xie Youan suddenly spoke.
"But speaking of which, is the man who came to pick you up that day your boyfriend?"
Xie Youan, who was still feeling sentimental a second ago, suddenly changed the subject, leaving Song Shishi unable to react.
She glanced at Xie Youan. "Does it have anything to do with you?"
She knew that this man's nature was hard to change and he wouldn't be serious for long.
"I think we are more suitable. You see how busy soldiers are. It's hard for them to meet. I'm different. Except for being a little busy when receiving diplomats, I can meet anytime I want. What do you think?"
Xie Youan didn't give up and started analyzing the situation for Song Shishi.
Song Shishi rolled her eyes, stopped, faced Xie Youan, and said seriously: "Comrade Xie, since your father is a good friend of my father, I won't bother with you. But I hope you won't say these inexplicable things to me again in the future. It has nothing to do with you whether I am suitable for someone or not. I am not interested in you either."
"I know, but just because I'm not interested now doesn't mean I won't be interested in the future. Besides, isn't it enough that I'm interested in you?"
Xie Youan is like an immortal cockroach.
No matter how Song Shishi rejected him, he didn't care.
"Hey...be careful!"
Song Shishi was a little angry. She didn't like this kind of entanglement.
It would be fine if they never had the chance to meet again in the future, but they still had to work together, so meeting was inevitable.
She was a little impatient and turned around and walked forward.
But she didn't pay attention to her surroundings. She only heard Xie Youan yelling, and then she was dragged backwards by Xie Youan.
