Chapter 1453 - A Newbie That Caused People a Headache (1/2)

He Yi rolled his eyes at Qiao Nan. “Da Bao’s such a great kid. Why are you complaining? Others don’t have someone like him even if they want to. You should be content.” It was estimated that he would only have one grandchild in the future. Regardless if it was a grandson or granddaughter, as long as he or she was half as sensible as Da Bao, he wouldn’t have to worry about the He family’s future.

Qiao Nan laughed bitterly. Was she complaining about Da Bao? She was obviously feeling heartache for Da Bao, who was taught to grow prematurely by the elders in the family. Da Bao wasn’t as playful and mischievous as Er Bao and San Bao.

Qiao Nan and He Yi had a harmonious relations.h.i.+p. People in the office were long used to this. Their relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nan, a junior, was pretty good as well.

Four years had pa.s.sed. Qiao Nan and Deng Wenchang were no longer considered newbies in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Last year, the ministry accepted two more people. In terms of hierarchy, these two were considered newbies. However, among these ‘newbies’, the youngest one was already one year older than Qiao Nan.

In the department, Qiao Nan was their senior. However, in terms of age, Qiao Nan had to call them her elders.

The scene that the old people were already used to didn’t mean that the young people would be accepting of it. Deng Wenchang belonged to the type that could not accept such a scene. Perhaps similarly afflicted people pitied each other. The two newbies didn’t have a bad relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nan, but they had a better relations.h.i.+p with Deng Wenchang.

“Take a look at my doc.u.ment and see if there are any issues.” Xu Xinming handed over the doc.u.ment he had organized to Deng Wenchang, wanting him to help see if there were any issues. After Deng Wenchang said that everything was good, he would hand the doc.u.ment over to the minister.

Deng Wenchang’s pen paused and he looked at Xu Xinming. “Is this doc.u.ment urgent?”

“It’s… still alright,” Xu Xinming replied in embarra.s.sment. If he completed it earlier, he could hand it over earlier and try to impress the minister. If he handed it over later, there wouldn’t be any major issues. However, what if the minister misunderstood that he was incapable or lazy?

After getting his answer, Deng Wenchang pushed his spectacles. “If it’s not urgent, put it aside first. When I’m done with the things on my hand, I’ll help you take a look again. Of course, if it’s really urgent, you can hand the doc.u.ment directly over to the minister. The minister takes care of newbies well. After all, there is one obvious example in the department. Everyone can see that. The minister is biased toward newbies. What is there for you to worry about?”

Deng Wenchang was quite unwilling to help these ‘newbies’ suck up. Regardless if it was Xu Xinming or Li Dawei, both of them paled in comparison to him and Qiao Nan back then.

Qiao Nan had always maintained a record of zero errors. Even if Deng Wenchang had some mistakes, they were minor. However, Xu Xinming and Li Dawei made more mistakes than Qiao Nan and Deng Wenchang back then. It was precisely because of this that He Yi didn’t dare to pa.s.s anything too important to Xu Xinming and Li Dawei.

Sensing He Yi’s att.i.tude toward them, Xu Xinming and Li Dawei wanted to stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs more. They even hoped to be promoted in the future. As such, He Yi’s impression of them became more crucial.

After a poor performance once, Xu Xinming and Li Dawei let go of the arrogance in their hearts and ignored the fact that Qiao Nan and Deng Wenchang were younger than them. They had entered the ministry first and were considered to be veterans. It was normal for Qiao Nan and Deng Wenchang to perform better than them since they had more years of experience.
