Chapter 1417 - Wishful Thinking (1/2)

However, if Qiao Nan remained hesitant on overseas business trips like today and could not bear to leave her kids, insisting on guarding by their side, He Yi felt that his master’s good intention would be forsaken.

Given his current ability, he could completely transfer Qiao Nan to a role with less working hours and good benefits to give her more time to take care of her kids. There was no need to insist on making little junior stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If she were to stay, she would provoke a nuisance like Deng Wenchang easily.

“You can go home and consider it. Don’t let others down, but don’t let yourself down either. What you have to know is you should figure out clearly what you want. Don’t choose the wrong path.” Pursue whatever you wanted to. Do not h.o.a.rd the role and yet not do your best in it.

There was really no need for that.

He Yi thought highly of Qiao Nan and felt that she could eventually a.s.sume his role. However, if Qiao Nan did not have the same intent and adopted such a lukewarm att.i.tude, He Yi would definitely not insist and continue to nurture only Qiao Nan.

Deng Wenchang could not be nurtured. If he could not nurture Qiao Nan too, He Yi could only recruit a few more newbies and pick a suitable candidate among them. He would handhold the person for a few years before pa.s.sing him the baton.

After hearing He Yi’s words, Qiao Nan was in a huge dilemma.

She was never a career-minded woman. However, Qiao Nan felt a little reluctant to give up such a rare and good opportunity that was before her. “Okay, Minister He, I will definitely consider it carefully.”

Sensing her own inner feelings, Qiao Nan did not immediately decline He Yi’s suggestion of going on the overseas business trip.

She had to go home and discuss this matter with her three children. Yes, she was not seeking the views of her mother-in-law, Miao Jing, but discussing this with the triplets. In fact, when Qiao Nan thought of this idea, she knew that the only thing that she needed to do was not to discuss but to find ways to persuade the triplets to make them understand and agree.

Qiao Nan did not know if other three-year-old kids could partic.i.p.ate in such discussions but Qiao Nan firmly believed that hers could!

“Minister He…” Deng Wenchang raised his voice a little. “Minister He, I am available. I wish to widen my horizons. Minister He, not sure if I will have an opportunity this time?” Obviously, Qiao Nan did not wish to go, yet He Yi insisted. Why was it that He Yi was a.s.suming airs and refusing to give him a direct response when he volunteered himself?

He Yi smiled lightly at Deng Wenchang. “Xiao Deng, I know that you are a youngster who strives to progress and is willing to improve yourself. However, there are some rules in the department. Some matters cannot be rushed. If you really have such intentions, don’t worry. I will definitely consider you if there is a chance next time. Given your diligence, I think that day will not be too far away.”

There were important and unimportant overseas trips.

Like overseas business trips that were akin to touring. Deng Wenchang wished to go, but he, this old one, wanted to find a chance to rest. It was just nice then. On the contrary, he would not agree to bring him on the more important business trips even if he had seven or eight more guts.
