The group couldn't wait to leave, with Du Zhiwei following at the back. Just as she was about to catch up, Old Master Du grabbed her arm.
Looking at her companions who had already gone far away, Du Zhiwei was full of doubt.
"Grandpa, everyone is in a hurry to get to the scene. Aren't you going too? Why are you pulling me?"
Old Du stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a serious expression.
"It's only because they've all gone far away that I can talk to you privately. I originally thought you were a mature child, but it seems today that your thinking is still too naive."
Du Zhiwei was unconvinced. Shu Ying hadn't said or done anything, so how did Grandpa make that comparison?
"Grandpa, I think it's obvious that you're getting old and don't know what kind of decisions are correct anymore. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a group of ready-made translators, but you went to great lengths to find an outsider. And to make matters worse, you're not only boosting their arrogance, but you're also trying to dampen my spirits. I won't be discouraged by you."
They used to say she wasn't as good as Xie Zhiyan, but now that she's an adult, do they still want to keep saying she's not as good as Shu Ying?
Why are people constantly being compared throughout their lives?
She does not accept this lack of recognition.
Old Du glanced at the departing figures of the group and stopped in the corridor. "That's not what I meant. You know that yourself."
Du Zhiwei rolled her eyes upwards, losing all patience.
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right. Anyway, no one dares to contradict you, whether at work or at home. We'll find out when we get there. It'd better that Shu Ying really has some real skills, otherwise she'll just be a laughingstock."
She snorted coldly, her face becoming even more spoiled.
“I understand, you think I’m not good enough, and that everyone is better than me, but Grandpa, I absolutely will not allow anyone to be better than me in my field. If anyone is, I will definitely surpass them.”
Over the years, she has always adhered to this principle and has always acted accordingly.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have become the youngest translator in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Grandpa Du coughed violently twice, almost choking and unable to speak.
He looked at the other person with exasperation, "Don't try to change the subject. I'm not talking about your work. No one denies your achievements. I'm saying that after all these years, you still haven't let go of Xie Zhiyan."
Du Zhiwei suddenly stopped walking forward, her expression faltering, her mouth reacting faster than her brain.
"Grandpa, what are you saying?"
Old Du took two steps forward, his eyes gleaming, his gaze so intense it seemed to see right through her.
"Xie Zhiyan is already married, and his children are all grown up. Even a blind man could see what you're thinking. It's not a bad thing for young people to be competitive, but it's best not to use public office for private purposes, and even more so, not to use public office for private revenge. If you can see other people's strengths, you won't make mistakes."
Du Zhiwei jumped up in an instant, her face filled with shame.
"Grandpa, you're just speculating about what I'm thinking. I didn't have such thoughts at all. Everyone in the world knows that Xie Zhiyan is my mortal enemy. He's always been one step ahead of me since we were little. He's the person I hate the most. Please don't continue to misunderstand me here."
