Chapter 435 Busy, Okay
Chapter 435 Busy, Okay
"What are you talking about?" Song Tingnan shook her head. It's all because she read too many martial arts novels in the past. There are no cultivation sects or anything like that in real life. Just be yourself.
She quickly washed up and got ready for work. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was a place teeming with talent and experience; every senior colleague was a textbook example worth studying.
When people are busy, they won't have time to overthink.
Song Tingnan is a very content person. There's nothing wrong with living a routine life. During her rest time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends and playing with the little ones.
Little did she know she was about to be drawn into a massive vortex...
During her lunch break one day, she received a call from Suzuki Han: "Sister... sister, are you alright?"
Suzuki Kan's voice was a little hoarse, not as loud as before, and somewhat melancholy, as if he had jumped straight into middle age.
"I'm fine, how about you? Take care of yourself!" Song Tingnan composed herself and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Thank you! I know. I acted when I needed to, and I cut ties when necessary. I did that. Aren't I amazing?"
Faced with Suzuki Han's self-deprecating humor, Song Tingnan knew that he was putting on a brave face. No matter how bad his family was in the eyes of others, they were connected to him by blood. When he severed ties and chose to let go, he must have been extremely sad.
Song Tingnan changed the subject, asking, "Did you call me for something this time?"
"Suzuki Kaori has come to China." An unexpected answer.
"Oh, you mean? You want us to pick her up from the airport and take good care of her?" Song Tingnan was still seething with anger when she remembered how she had stopped her uncle from going home on the street and brought up her nationality. Her words were barbed.
"No, I'm just letting you know to be careful. She's gotten even crazier now. I can't find out who's behind her. She's ostensibly chasing after celebrities this time, but we don't know what her real purpose is."
"Oh? She's a fan of celebrities? And she's Chinese? What's her name?" Song Tingnan asked curiously. Didn't she like Zhong Shengli?
"I'm not entirely sure, but based on what I know of her, she shouldn't be chasing after Chinese celebrities. I'm not saying Chinese celebrities are bad, but... but..."
“Suzuki Kan, you don’t need to explain, I understand. She looks down on us Chinese people from the bottom of her heart and thinks that our bloodline is superior.”
At this point, both sides of the microphone fell silent.
Just as Song Tingnan was about to hang up, Suzuki Han's voice came through the receiver again: "I'm sorry! Song Tingnan, our Suzuki family owes you an apology! I'm sorry!"
"You are you. Your parents, family, and even your birth are not things you can choose. I hope you will be well in the future." Song Tingnan can distinguish right from wrong.
"Thank you! I really like you and my older brother, and I've always looked forward to meeting the other family members and becoming a part of the Zheng family."
Song Tingnan did not reply. She said goodbye and hung up the phone. Suzuki Han left her hopes to time.
Suzuki Kaori has come to China, and she should be the first one affected. It shouldn't have much impact on my older brother and his family who live in a remote small county, but I still need to call and give them some instructions.
"Brother, have you joined the Party yet?"
"Yes, last week the deputy mayor went to the countryside and asked me to be his assistant. He asked me to help with work in the fields of rural areas, social security, education and health."
"Little sister, did you speak to someone on their behalf? I didn't know the deputy mayor before. When I needed to see a leader in the county, it was your godfather who did it. He called me out as soon as he came to the village, which made me really nervous."
"Brother, this isn't like you at all. Don't underestimate yourself. He approached you because you're familiar with the towns and villages. Over the years, with the red brick factory business, where haven't you been? Don't you have one or two acquaintances?" This greeting must have been given on the orders of the Premier. It seems that the elder brother has truly caught his eye.
"Hehehe, you know what, I really am a walking map. There's no place I don't know, and I know exactly where all the hooligans are."
Song Tingnan chuckled, "That's right, big brother. If you work hard, you'll rise through the ranks. We can also take advantage of that; having connections in the court makes things easier."
"You're always being cheeky. I'll always be your support. So, how's it going with that kid?" Zheng Xiangqian was visibly more relaxed. He knew that joining the Party was a crucial step in his political career, and no one in the Zheng family had ever been an official.
His father, Zheng Yueqiang, became a general while in Japan, and was posthumously honored as a martyr in China. However, his legacy has faded since he left the country, so the significance of his posthumous honor is minimal.
How did things suddenly turn to her? Well, it makes sense. My older brother met Zhong Shengli before and kept asking him questions back then.
Song Tingnan quickly changed the subject, "Brother, I called to tell you that Suzuki Kaori has arrived in the country. Please remind your family to be careful, especially when they are traveling."
