Chapter 826: Work on August 26
Yuanyuan listened to the two people’s report without any expression on her face.
Only after they finished reading the application did they stop.
"I understand this matter. There are a few points you need to take note of for amendment.
Tell them without any party’s decision, our terms must be included. If they agree, then we can talk; otherwise, we’ll discuss it later."
The two quickly took notes of what Yuanyuan said.
"Now you two start translating the foreign language separately, and you’ll proofread each other’s work. In the end, summarize together."
Both understood Yuanyuan’s meaning. Actually, it was quite good this way, as the language indeed differed from others, and they could complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
Yuanyuan checked the time, "I’ll be back in half an hour. I hope to see your results then."
She didn’t return to the office but directly went to find Zeng Zhenqing.
Qin Zhiyuan watched Yuanyuan approaching, feeling that just in one day, she had changed a lot. She really could be described as having undergone a transformation. She seemed particularly charismatic and had the air of a leader.
"Minister Su."
"Secretary Qin, can I see Leader Zeng now?"
"Yes. The leader said Minister Su can go in at any time."
It was already off-hours, but truly, it was tradition here, as no one actually left work and everyone was still working.
Yuanyuan thought, since that’s the case, why is there an off-hour at all? It’s really redundant, isn’t it?
"How is it going? Today, you really became famous."
Yuanyuan shook her head at Zeng Zhenqing’s teasing, "I couldn’t stand that, it really made me so angry."
"You did well. At least, in the short term, some people will be much more honest."
Just then, Qin Zhiyuan brought in tea, offering Yuanyuan plain water.
"Xiao Su, I called you over because the woman who wanted to kill you has confessed. Also, all related persons involved have been arrested.
Now I want to know your thoughts? What should be done?"
"I have no objections, since there’s a cause and effect, I just wish for the law to strictly punish them."
"Understood, then we’ll proceed with the judicial process directly."
Yuanyuan naturally had no objections. After staying for a while, she left. She still had ten minutes to solve the issue with Country D.
She directly entered the meeting room where the two were discussing. Seeing Yuanyuan enter, they handed over a translation document both agreed upon.
Yuanyuan carefully read through it. "I understand. It’s done fairly well, just print it out and hand it over to them."
"Minister Su, this requires your signature."
"Okay. Print it out and come find me for a signature tomorrow."
It was already late, and people also needed to leave work. Everything could start again tomorrow.
She still left work earlier than others and didn’t go to the hospital today, returning directly home. She just reviewed the text from Country D, compared it with the translation, and thought she could give it a try herself.
Yuanyuan thought to herself that her memory was truly incredible; tomorrow she’d ask the two translators if she could take a look at their books, even if she couldn’t speak, she could at least understand a bit.
Upon returning home, fortunately not feeling stifled today, her mood was good, so she cooked at home, preparing eight-treasure porridge as she liked it. Once cooked, she’d take it to the hospital for Zeng Hongling.
The couple was having their meal when they saw Yuanyuan bringing over the eight-treasure porridge, causing Zeng Hongling to set aside her noodles.
"Yuanyuan, where did you buy this porridge?"
"I made it myself today. I usually eat this. Give it a taste."
"Haha, you even have time to cook?"
"I left work late today, didn’t go anywhere, just went home to cook."
Soon after, Zhan Yunzhao and the others arrived.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Xiao Su," Zhan Yunzhao remarked.
"Daoist Zhan has changed quite a bit."
"Right? Although I’m busy every day now, my mood is good. Xiao Su has changed too."
"Yes, I’ve decided to focus on my work now."
"How is it? Are you adapting?" Wei Guangxiang asked.
"It’s okay. I have a bad temper; when things are unsatisfactory, I push back directly. I think it’s fine, but if I truly make a mistake one day, I’ll come back to live my own life."
Zeng Yixin smiled by the side, "How could that be? I think whatever you do is right."
"You’re too blind. If you think it’s the right time to go south and open a factory, write an application then; I can’t push it upwards for you now. But notify me when the time comes, I’ll find a way to speak to those in charge."
"Sure, let’s work for a while and talk later." Zhan Yunzhao smiled and said.
Seeing the late hour, Yuanyuan took her leave.
At that time, only the five of them remained in the ward.
"Hongling, I reckon there’s a connection between the baby in your womb and Xiao Su," Zhan Yunzhao said with a smile.
Zeng Hongling laughed, "Daoist Zhan, you’re quite accurate. I’ve discussed with Yuanyuan, and in the future, when this child is born, Yuanyuan will be her godmother."
Zhan Yunzhao nodded with a smile, "I’ll take a look at this child after it’s born. I can’t say for sure now, but I believe if you want the child to have a smooth life, there must be a cause and effect with Xiao Su."
Zeng Hongling and Yang Liulang both nodded, certainly hoping for the child’s well-being.
The next day, Yuanyuan went to work, and as soon as she entered the office, Secretary Xie brought over the two translators.
Yuanyuan examined the final printed document, then signed it and stamped it.
"It’s done. Do either of you have books in the language of Country D? I’d like to try learning a bit."
Yuanyuan felt that there wouldn’t be less contact with Country D in the future.
"Minister Su, I have a book, I can bring it for you tomorrow."
Yuanyuan nodded, "Good, thank you."
Today’s work was also extremely tedious. There was a meeting at noon to discuss the timing of this upcoming trip abroad.
Now, this group of people learning together already knew that Yuanyuan was now their second-in-command, leaving them at a loss for words to describe their feelings.
Yet, there was no discontent. Furthermore, they were well aware of her actions in the past few days.
Actually, dealing with foreigners often felt stifling. Having someone set such an example made them happy, even though they lacked the courage themselves.
The time was set for a week later, directly departing from the Capital Airport, and landing at the capital’s airport over there.
As it was a neighboring country, it would only take a day and a night to get there, which was rather convenient.
There were also changes this time. Since Yuanyuan was now the minister, wielding absolute authority, Lu Chengmin wouldn’t be going over this time.
Yuanyuan had no objections, it was fine to decide by herself. Once she decided to take action, she didn’t want to be too restricted.
Yuanyuan’s uniform and work ID card would be delivered today, and the rest of the companions would also have standardized uniforms.
Secretary Xie brought in the clothes. As Yuanyuan had military rank, her outfit was a military uniform.
"Minister Su, would you like to try it on? If there’s anything inappropriate, it can be amended right away."
