Chapter 1398 - What Kind of Attitude Was That? (1/2)

It was obvious that Qiao Nan looked as if she knew them. Unless Deng Wenchang was blind or stupid, he could not pretend that he did not see the expression on Qiao Nan’s face. Moreover, Deng Wenchang had been targeting Qiao Nan all the while.

It was rare that he discovered that Qiao Nan was bluffing. Deng Wenchang would definitely jump in to expose her lies. If not, he would be letting himself down.

“I…” She did know the people in the photo. Otherwise, she would not be taken aback.

“Hehehe…” Deng Wenchang sneered. “Qiao Nan, that is such an outdated way of striking up a conversation. Could it be that you want to say that you saw them in your dreams? Furthermore, they have yet to reach China. Do you really intend to use this kind of method to strike up a conversation? At the very least, you should wait until they have reached. It is still too early to try to please them.”

Indeed, she was only good at sucking up to other people. Apart from that, she was a fool without any use.

Everyone in the ministry knew that Qiao Nan did not go for overseas study and she had not ventured out of the country before. If that was the case, how could she be so thick-skinned to say that she knew the amba.s.sador who was coming to the country?

She bragged without thinking. She might look smart, but she was just a fool.

Qiao Nan had not been to other countries and she did not go on overseas study. Since she said that she knew the foreign couple, the only possibility was her seeing them in her dream.

Deng Wenchang was very harsh toward Qiao Nan. Although she was wrong in the first place, He Yi felt that as a man, Deng Wenchang should not argue a point to death. It was ungentlemanly of him to do that. “Xiao Deng, Xiao Qiao didn’t make any outrageous comments. You should not be so agitated. We all know that you returned from overseas study. In modernizing the country and learning from other countries, we believe in keeping what is good and discarding the rest. As the country that is known as a state of etiquette and ceremonies, we have good practices. But I feel that Chinese men should learn from foreigners to be gentlemanly.”

Deng Wenchang curled the corners of his lips. “From the first day that I joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I am very clear that I will have to receive men and even heroines like Qiao Nan in the future. However, nothing is more important than the country’s interests. In my opinion, gender doesn’t matter. Only nationality matters.”

Since he did not care if the guest was male or female, all the more he would not care about being a gentleman.

Even if he was to behave like a gentleman, he would not be so foolish to be a gentleman to women like Qiao Nan.

Deng Wenchang sounded burly and rude. It was as if he was about to get into a quarrel with He Yi. As the source of the problem, Qiao Nan stopped He Yi. “Deng Wenchang, since you seem to be highly principled, I hope that at the very least, you could be scrupulous in separating public from private interests. Don’t mix emotions with work. I merely said a few ‘I’ after taking a glance at the photo. I have yet to complete my sentences. Deng Wenchang, how do you know what I am going to say?”

Many people heard and saw what had happened between them. As long as she did not complete her sentence, no matter what she was really thinking, she could deny Deng Wenchang’s accusation.

“Deng Wenchang, I feel that you have misunderstood me. I didn’t say that I know them. I am just surprised that the photo was taken very well, and I find them to be familiar. That’s all. Deng Wenchang, aren’t you being too sensitive?”
