Chapter 1458: Stabbing Back
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Firstly, you have to complete your task with 100% quality. Don’t worry. We will continue to look at you like the same way before. We would definitely not look at you with tinted gla.s.ses or distrust purely because of your poor work performance before.”
After saying this last sentence, Qiao Nan stepped forward and brushed past Li Dawei. She rushed out faster than before.
Qiao Nan was late for another five minutes because of Li Dawei. If she continued to delay Teacher Yu from knocking off work, she would feel embarra.s.sed. Also, Qiao Nan was worried that the triplets were anxious while waiting.
When she thought of how the triplets were waiting for her in school, Qiao Nan, who was walking quickly, hated Li Dawei even more. It looked like she was too ‘gentle’ to Li Dawei just now. She should have used simpler and ruder words to make Li Dawei feel ashamed. If the triplets threw temper later because she was late, she would definitely deal with Li Dawei the next time she saw him!
Once Qiao Nan left the office building, a car directly stopped in front of her. Qiao Nan, who was already furious, glared at it. She nearly wanted to kick this car that was in her way and leave a footmark. However, upon thinking that the car was made from iron and that the footmark could be wiped off easily, Qiao Nan held it back.
The more anxious she was, the more things were crowded together. Qiao Nan told herself not to be angry and anxious and that the triplets were still in school waiting for her.
Before Qiao Nan could walk around the car, the car windows were winded down. A cute and familiar face was revealed and she shouted sweetly, “Mom! We are here with Dad to pick you up from work!”
For the triplets, today was really a huge surprise.
Their father was a big hero outside and the triplets only saw him a few times each year. Seeing that he suddenly returned, the triplets were so happy that they screamed with joy in school. They pulled their cla.s.smates and introduced to them, saying, “This is my dad.” Their cla.s.smates were only short of replying, “Why are you so happy? It’s as if we don’t have fathers and you’re the only ones who have one.”
After that, they heard their dad saying that he was going to bring them along to pick their mom up and became even happier. Although they were so grown up now, they had never picked their mom up before. It was always their mom who drove to pick the triplets up and head home.
Once they reached the office building where their mom worked, before their dad could give her a call for her to head downstairs, they already saw their mom walking out from the door and standing in front of their dad’s car. This must be the legendary ‘great minds think alike’!
“San Bao, the three of you and dad came to pick me up from work?” Qiao Nan was stunned and didn’t understand what her youngest daughter meant. After Qiao Nan blinked and recovered, she looked toward the driver’s seat. Indeed, she saw a cold and eye-catching face. “Brother Zhai, when did you return?”
Zhai Sheng got down from the car and helped Qiao Nan open the pa.s.senger door so that she can sit in. “Just today.” When Zhai Sheng reached home, the triplets were about to end their lessons. He was afraid to miss the children, thus he didn’t leave the house. However, after realizing that the four of them hadn’t reached home when they should have, Zhai Sheng drove over to the school where the triplets were studying first.
This was the first time Zhai Sheng went to the triplets’ school after they started attending primary school.
After confirming that Zhai Sheng was really the triplets’ father, Teacher Yu agreed to let him pick them up. Through Teacher Yu, Zhai Sheng knew that Qiao Nan knocked off work late today. As such, he brought the triplets along to pick Qiao Nan up from work. It was really rare for the family of five to have a day like today.
After Zhai Sheng pulled open the car door, Qiao Nan naturally sat in the pa.s.senger’s seat. “Specially came back to celebrate the triplets’ birthday?” Qiao Nan smiled. The triplets had been going to school for a month and it was National Day soon. This meant that the triplets’ birthday was coming soon as well. It was said that after becoming a soldier, he would care about the nation but not the family. However, Qiao Nan felt that Zhai Sheng did a great job.
For example, Zhai Sheng really spent very little time at home in a year. However, he would try to spend his vacation days on days that were of special significance to his family. The day the triplets were born was naturally the most memorable. As such, wherever possible, Zhai Sheng would try to take a few days off at the end of September.
Even if Qiao Nan was already used to Zhai Sheng’s practice, there were always sudden situations in Zhai Sheng’s army. Qiao Nan didn’t want to get the children’s hopes up as they would be more disappointed in the end. As such, she didn’t mention this scenario. As time pa.s.sed and Qiao Nan was busy with work, she only remembered that it was the end of September when she saw Zhai Sheng return. There was at least a 70% possibility that Zhai Sheng returned home because of that.
“Yes.” Of course, it was also to see his wife. “A lot of work today?” He heard from his mother that Nan Nan was late for quite a bit today.
“It’s nothing. There’s just a heavy workload. What I have a headache over is that there are two troublesome newbies who joined the ministry. I could suddenly understand how disgusted Deng Wenchang felt in his heart over my appearance when I joined the ministry later than him back then.” The arrival of a newbie meant that there was going to be a lot of trouble.
Initially, Deng Wenchang treated her like a bimbo and was disgusted. After that, he was naturally disgusted because her ability was above his.
“Poor working ability?” Zhai Sheng understood how Qiao Nan was feeling. Regardless of where it was, there would inevitably be one or two of such scenarios. Whenever Zhai Sheng encountered such a thing, he would just throw the person to the corner without saying a word.
After training, if the person’s ability wasn’t bad, Zhai Sheng was willing to give him a chance to perform. If the situation was the same as before, and that person kept complaining about the tough training, then it was even easier for Zhai Sheng. After kicking this person to a corner, Zhai Sheng would no longer bother about him and treated him as if he didn’t exist.
What was different was that Zhai Sheng had great power and could make such arrangements. He could first allow them to train their capabilities before deciding if he should give them a chance. If they weren’t capable, then no chances would be given!
However, Qiao Nan couldn’t do so. She was just an ordinary employee. Even if Xu Xinming and Li Dawei were not pleasing to the eye, aside from her being able to kick Li Dawei back when he came looking for trouble, there was nothing more Qiao Nan could do.
“It’s nothing to have a poor working ability. The att.i.tudes of these two newbies are very extreme. They know that they have poor capabilities but are unwilling to work hard to improve themselves. They are just like primary school children, treating their task like an a.s.sessment and keep asking around for comments. I’m not afraid of children being stupid. I’m afraid that after teaching them, they wouldn’t be hardworking.”
