Chapter 1356 Competition Had Begun

It was pleasing to have a young and beautiful Qiao Nan among all the men in the ministry. Apart from Deng Wenchang, the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs was glad to welcome Qiao Nan back at the ministry.

“Hello, I am here to impose on you again.” Qiao Nan had a wide smile on her face as she greeted her colleagues at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Deng Wenchang’s eyes were spitting fire at the sight of this.

As soon as Qiao Nan sat down at her usual seat, Deng Wenchang used a cynical tone on her. “Aren’t you still in your third year? You have yet to graduate and yet you don’t feel like going to school but come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Don’t you want to graduate? Or is it that you have other ways and want to continue to get in through the back door?”

Unlike the previous time where she would avoid his provocation, Qiao Nan gave Deng Wenchang a direct reply. “Since when is it so easy to get in through the back door at Peking University? Or perhaps you have experience with that?”

Deng Wenchang could sense the change in Qiao Nan. He was surprised. Qiao Nan went head-on with him and she was sharp in her comments. In the past, she would leave room to maneuver and she would be careful not to offend other people. “Hehe, you seem to be emboldened after a few months’ time. Who are you acquainted with to become so sharp in your remarks?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am acquainted with. I have the ability and therefore I am emboldened. Deng Wenchang, are you officially employed? I wish that your dream will come true soon.” Qiao Nan had a wicked smile on her face. She knew that Deng Wenchang was concerned about being officially employed, so she used this to provoke him.

One should not hit a person in his face, and neither should one expose a person’s shortcomings when one scolded them.

Qiao Nan did the exact opposite. But Qiao Nan no longer wanted to tolerate him further. She wanted to hit him in the face and expose his shortcomings. “I haven’t seen you for half a year. Comrade Deng, you must work hard. If not, I may be officially employed earlier than you.”

Got in through the back door?

Deng Wenchang got in through the back door to be able to be in this department.

Deng Wenchang was counting on He Yi and getting help from the Peng family. But both He Yi and the Peng family would not be able to have any direct influences and could only help Deng Wenchang indirectly.

If Qiao Nan was to compete with Deng Wenchang, she would not lose to him in terms of who had the stronger backing and who could help her get in through the back door easily.

That was why even before Qiao Nan arrived at the ministry, she was already well-known.

All of the higher-ups knew that Lin Yuankang changed his mind and returned to the capital because of his last beloved disciple.

No matter what, the higher-ups had to give Elder Lin due respect.

If Qiao Nan was incapable, it would be easy to deal with her. There were many units and positions in the ministry. They could put her in an insignificant position and take it that they paid an extra sum of money for someone insignificant. However, all of Elder Lin’s disciples were of high caliber and capable. Everyone had made great contributions to the country.

As long as Qiao Nan maintained the usual standard of Elder Lin’s disciples, she would be a great help to the country. There was no need to give due respect to Elder Lin and they would be glad to accept talents like her.

No matter what, they would not be disadvantaged.

Qiao Nan joined the unit and she was offered official employment.

Qiao Nan kept a low profile about the various reasons behind her employment. She never mentioned it to anyone. He Yi never really made any endorsements for her either. Apart from Qiao Nan and He Yi, the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not know of her background.

Deng Wenchang felt good about himself and thought that he was definitely better than Qiao Nan. He could not help but laugh when Qiao Nan provoked him recklessly today. “Fine, I shall see what you are capable of despite not having anyone to help you secretly. By then, you must not say that I bully you as I am older. You have to blame yourself for being born later than me.”

Deng Wenchang was thrilled.

Qiao Nan had yet to graduate from college. She was not a postgraduate, and neither had she obtained a master’s or a doctorate’s degree. He had obtained a master’s degree from overseas. How dared she compete with him! This was the biggest joke that he heard this year!

“How can I blame you for being born earlier than me? You don’t know my mom.” As a woman who was married with three children, Qiao Nan was just as good when it came to cracking dirty jokes.

“How dare you!” Deng Wenchang blushed red in embarrassment. Qiao Nan was so shameless. How dared she say such jokes in front of so many people! “The female college students nowadays are really an eye-opener for me.” He did not believe that Qiao Nan was innocent and did not engage in indecent deals.

Qiao Nan smirked. She no longer bantered with Deng Wenchang.

He would know whether she was capable or not when they had more interactions at work in the future. It was useless to engage in banter!

Qiao Nan put in more than one hundred percent of effort in her work and she was very enthusiastic. Her performance was dazzling. Qiao Nan would never shy from work. She worked ten times harder than her internship. She would fight for every chance to take on more tasks. With Qiao Nan around, Deng Wenchang did not dare to skive. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had two interns who worked extra hard to take on every task.

The veterans were glad that there were two hardworking interns in the ministry. It would be beneficial for them to gain more experience and it would definitely be useful in the future.

The wily old foxes could tell that the two youngsters were competing with each other. They watched the fun by the side as they stood to gain and had an easier time at work.

When Qiao Nan was not around, Deng Wenchang was just as hardworking. But Deng Wenchang was young and foolish no more. He would not take on jobs that were outside of his job scope. He was there to gain experience, not to do everything or take on other people’s tasks. He refused to be the laborer while other people had an easy time.

However, now that Qiao Nan had spoiled the market, Deng Wenchang could not help but take on tasks that he was not used to doing in the past.

Since he had ended up doing all the other work, his goal was to finish them at a faster speed than Qiao Nan and to do a better job than her. Deng Wenchang was older than Qiao Nan by a few years and he used to study overseas. He should have a faster reading speed and better comprehension skills than Qiao Nan. As long as he did his work quickly and efficiently and proved his capabilities, it would not be long before Qiao Nan lost to him.

Deng Wenchang felt that success was within his grasp. However, he did not expect that he would be given a tight slap.

Deng Wenchang had yet to finish his work but Qiao Nan had already submitted her work to her senior.

Now that the competition had begun between the two youngsters, He Yi had told everyone that it was best to allocate the work equally between Qiao Nan and Deng Wenchang so as not to cause any dispute.
