Chapter 284 Shu Ying: As your wife, I'm not worried.

Xie Zhiyan kept talking about Comrade Shu Ying's safety. Over the years, many comrades have sacrificed themselves for the revolution, but he has never been so worried about anyone.

I heard that when he came back from the battlefield, he was covered in injuries. Does that mean that Shu Ying is the only precious person in the whole world?

Of course, Du Zhiwei couldn't say these things directly. Xie Zhiyan was clearly protecting Shu Ying like the apple of his eye. If he heard anyone say anything bad about her, he would be like a rooster with its feathers standing on end.

Du Zhiwei thought to herself, and then suddenly thought of the outstanding first love that Xie Zhiyan had mentioned, whom she had always looked up to. Could it be that this young lady was just a coincidence?

None of them spoke, and the atmosphere became tense and awkward. Even the two senior members felt that the time spent waiting for Shu Ying to arrive was exceptionally long.

Wu Linghua and Zhou Weizhou exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.

The office was quiet when it was suddenly broken by a knock on the door.

Xie Zhiyan immediately stood up straight, and the first person to open the door and enter was Wang Zhande, who had a cheerful expression.

Upon seeing his former superior present, he immediately stood up straight and saluted, saying, "Hello, sir!"

Brigade Commander Zeng waved his hand, glanced tentatively behind him, and then asked, "Have the people been brought here?"

Wang Zhande smiled憨厚ly, took a step back, revealing Shu Ying behind him, and introduced her: "Leader, this is Comrade Shu Ying."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Zhiyan next to him, who nodded at him. Only then did Wang Zhande obediently step aside.

Du Lao and Brigade Commander Zeng's eyes lit up, and they stood up from their seats at the same time. Even Du Zhiwei couldn't help but feel a little more curious.

Although her face still seemed somewhat unwilling, her body's subconscious movement of looking out betrayed her.

As the group waited expectantly, a beautiful figure appeared the next second. Just then, a gentle breeze blew in through the window, making the entire office seem brighter.

Shu Ying wore a blue dress, which Song Zhaodi had specially made for her a few days ago from a piece of fabric she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. The size was just right.

The simple design accentuated her graceful figure, but compared to the work uniforms worn by everyone else in the room, it did look somewhat unprofessional.

However, she was originally going to school to drop off her child, so she didn't dress up specially. She had a light yellow polka dot headband woven into her hair, and that bright color made her look as radiant as a rose blooming in the desert. The wisps of hair in front of her forehead seemed to be shining, and her forehead, which was exposed generously, was very beautiful.

She has large, bright, and expressive eyes, arched eyebrows, and a perfectly shaped nose, which simply outline the lines of her face.

Unlike the arrogant and domineering young lady one might imagine, Shu Ying possesses the striking features of a beautiful Chinese woman.

She took two steps forward so that everyone in the office could see her. Her eyes met Xie Zhiyan's for a fleeting moment, and she gave a slight nod before walking over to the oldest officer, Commander Du.

She nodded slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Leader, I heard from Comrade Xiao Wang that you have something important to discuss with me. I wonder how I can help?"

Shu Ying greeted them, a faint smile always on her face. She stood about a meter away, a distance that is most comfortable for normal human social interaction.

Her voice is sweet, but it doesn't feel offensive. Instead, it makes her unique and distinctive.

It is a gentleness nurtured in Jiangnan, naturally formed, like a piece of jade that feels warm to the touch, rather than a deliberately contrived coquettishness.

Even the most indifferent person would be unable to resist giving a smile upon seeing this.

Zhou Weizhou looked at Wu Linghua, whose admiration was undisguised. Such a good temperament and qualities should be displayed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to showcase the grandeur of China.

At least, several people had a very good first impression of Shu Ying.

Commander Zeng turned his head to look at Xie Zhiyan beside him, a gentle smile on his face.

"Comrade Shuying, why don't we let Comrade Xie Zhiyan explain it to you in detail, and then you can make your own decision? But you don't need to feel pressured. We and Comrade Xie Zhiyan have always held the same view, which is to resolutely respect your personal wishes."

Shu Ying looked at Xie Zhiyan with a puzzled expression, only to find that his face didn't look good, as if he had just had an argument with someone.

She paused slightly, then walked towards him without hesitation and asked softly, "Ayan, what's wrong?"

Xie Zhiyan moved aside to make room for her, looked up and met her gaze. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke: "Last night, one of our comrades sacrificed his life at our military factory. Before he died, he had a very important document in his possession, which now needs to be translated. However, it will be a little difficult for the comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at this stage, as it requires consulting a lot of materials. But we don't have that much time now."

Commander Zeng said with a forced smile, "Comrade Shuying, we really couldn't find a suitable candidate, otherwise we wouldn't have dragged you into this. Professor Jiang Yunzhou, who returned from studying abroad, strongly recommended you. You may not be able to accept it right away, but of course we can understand that."

Upon hearing that Jiang Yunzhou had recommended her, Shu Ying looked at Xie Zhiyan with some surprise.

"Yunzhou? He's back?"

After not hearing from him for a long time, Shu Ying thought he had settled abroad.

Returning from studying abroad at this critical juncture is certainly not a wise choice, but according to this leader, his current treatment is quite good.

Shu Ying is happy.

Xie Zhiyan sighed helplessly. The leaders probably knew he wouldn't agree, which is why they asked him to come with Shu Ying.

He never refused Shu Ying's decisions, and since he had promised to respect her wishes, how could he bear to make decisions for her?

Having understood the ins and outs of the matter, Shu Ying had a general understanding of it. She took Xie Zhiyan's hand and spoke firmly.

"It's nothing. Since it's something I can do, it's only right that I do it. It's my honor, Ayan. As your wife, I have nothing to worry about."

She was glad that she had a particular skill that could come in handy at crucial moments.

Xie Zhiyan's handsome eyebrows drooped, and he had a "I knew it" expression on his face.

"Yingying, the situation is very serious right now. It may be easy for you to translate those things, but once you show your face, you will become a thorn in their side."
