Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Ms. Ye Tianxin, I am a reporter from Country M. I would like to ask how your country dealt with the incident involving your former president.”
Ye Tianxin answered diplomatically, “Regarding the former president, we will hold a trial for him following our country’s laws.”
!!
The corners of the reporter’s mouth twitched. Ye Tianxin might be young, but she would not be easily fooled.
The reporter asked again, “Is the former president of your country found guilty of treason? Will there eventually be a public trial?”
“Our country’s laws require proof of evidence. This evidence will be released to the public during the trial.”
What Ye Tianxin meant was that it was no use asking her now. If they wanted to know about the evidence, they had to wait for the trial to start. She would never let on what evidence they had.
The reporter from Country H then asked, “What have you found out about the former president’s illegitimate daughter?”
The reporter from Country H thought that it was rather unfortunate.
It made sense for someone in such a high position to have an illegitimate child or two, but the former president was the first to be dragged down the political stage by his illegitimate daughter.
As a man, he should either restrain himself from some actions or be able to fix the issue.
“This is the former president’s private business. We have no right to interfere.”
How was Ye Tianxin supposed to answer a question like that at the press conference? Of course, she had to refuse to answer that.
Li Qingcang was watching Ye Tianxin at the press conference on television. He could not help but feel proud and happy when he saw how poised and elegant she looked.
This was her dream, but she was going to give it up for him.
Whenever he thought of that, Li Qingcang wondered if he had made the right decision to become the president.
“Captain Li, isn’t Tianxin awesome?”
Chen Cheng was standing beside Li Qingcang. Li Qingcang nodded. “She’s fabulous.”
“When the minister first suggested Ye Tianxin to be the spokesperson during the meeting, I was surprised.” Chen Cheng shared her thoughts honestly with Li Qingcang. “I raised my concerns and did not agree to it, but I changed my mind when I saw how impressive Ye Tianxin was. I realized that the minister saw potential in her. That must’ve been why he wanted to appoint her as the ministry’s spokesperson. She has also proved that the minister was farsighted. Captain Li, can you tell me why Tianxin asked to resign from the ministry?”
Instead of keeping silent, Li Qingcang said straightforwardly. “I’m running to become the next president.”
Chen Cheng understood what Li Qingcang meant by that. Ye Tianxin’s reason for leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was clear.
“I hope you’ll succeed.” Director Chen smiled lightly.
Li Qingcang pursed his lips and nodded. “Tianxin will be a very successful first lady.”
Li Qingcang also believed that Ye Tianxin was capable of being a good first lady. She was the kind of person who would do her best in everything she decided to do.
Ye Tianxin saw Chen Cheng and Li Qingcang in her office after the press conference was completed. “Director Chen, Qingcang.”
“Tianxin, you are released from work today.”
“Great.”
Ye Tianxin happily packed her bag and left work early with Li Qingcang. She suddenly remembered she had forgotten to take her mobile phone as she walked into the hallway.
She turned to Li Qingcang. “Qingcang, wait for me in the lobby on the first floor. I’ll go get my phone.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Ye Tianxin refused. “No, my colleagues will tease us.”
Li Qingcang watched as Ye Tianxin walked into the elevator. He stood by the elevator, waiting for her.
