Chapter 295

Wu Linghua nodded, excitedly grasped her hand, and his eyes gleamed with eagerness to acquire talent.

"Comrade Shu Ying, with your exceptional language talent, would you be interested in trying your hand at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Right now, the country is in a period of strong support for establishing diplomatic relations. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs brings in someone like you, our motherland will surely develop better and better in the future."

Wu Linghua's thoughts were written all over his face.

In some important conferences, their department needs such elites. Although they haven't known each other for very long, in just one day, she has already seen Shu Ying's potential and solid professional foundation.

Shu Ying was somewhat surprised, her pen pausing for a few seconds before she pointed incredulously at herself, "Director Wu, do you mean you want me to go to your department?"

Wu Linghua nodded without hesitation, afraid that if he answered any later, the person he had secured would slip away.

"Yes, have you ever thought about this?"

She was facing Shu Ying, while Jiang Yunzhou beside her had an indescribable expression. How could things have happened so suddenly, and they were already recruiting people?

“Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not usually very busy. It only gets a little busier in special circumstances. In the next few months, there will be a very important meeting. It involves the arrival of technical personnel and representatives from friendly countries. We used to have a very capable comrade in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he was recently transferred to the central government, which has led to a severe shortage of personnel in our department.”

She revealed everything about the current situation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Shu Ying without reservation.

"Comrade Shuying, I really hope you can consider this. This place will definitely become a platform for your development."

Shu Ying's expression showed longing, but she didn't give her answer right away.

She thought about it carefully for a while before giving a serious answer.

"Director Wu, I can't give you a definite answer right now. I need to think about this matter carefully. I know you mean well and I appreciate your appreciation of my abilities, but given my current family situation, work isn't just my responsibility."

She knew Xie Zhiyan would never stop her decision, but now he was not only her, but also the mother of two children.

Although Yueyue and Yangyang have already started kindergarten and Song Zhaodi takes care of them during patrols, Song Zhaodi also has her own career, and perhaps one day she will have her own family. Regardless of whether her own speculations come true or not, she cannot selfishly push the children onto Song Zhaodi.

Moreover, her dream from the beginning was to become a qualified doctor, and working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was never something she had considered.

It was only when Wu Linghua brought it up so seriously today that she felt it might be a good place. But one can't think about money all the time, especially since her experience was limited at this time, so she could only focus on the things at hand for now.

Wu Linghua was not in a hurry. As a woman herself, she naturally understood that there were many things she needed to consider.

She replied earnestly, "You can decide whenever you want. I'm usually at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you've decided to join us, you can come find me anytime."

Shu Ying flipped through the few remaining pages of her diary, already moving on to the next phase of her work, but still remembered to reply, "Okay."

Seeing that the group was busy again, Wu Linghua stood up and said, "You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll wait outside. Call me anytime if you encounter any problems."

Time passed slowly, and the legs of the guards outside were getting numb. Ye Zhanying yawned and glanced at Qi Zecheng next to her.

"Didn't Xie Zhiyan go over to report on the progress? Why did he take so long? The work inside is almost finished. Did he ride a tortoise there?"

Half an hour earlier, Shu Ying and her team had already finished their translation work. As the leader here, Xie Zhiyan had to report to the old leader as soon as possible.

Qi Zecheng and Ye Zhan stayed by his side closely, but even as they began packing up documents inside, Xie Zhiyan was nowhere to be seen.

Qi Zecheng rubbed his aching lower back with one hand. Since working the night shift last night, he had been feeling listless and dispirited.

"Maybe something got in the way? Once you're done here, take Comrade Shuying home and make sure she's safely there. Then you can get some rest today. The leadership has already approved your leave, so neither of us needs to do morning exercises tomorrow."

As the two were talking, they saw Xie Zhiyan returning from outside.

Ye Zhanying's eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and she looked like she was about to fall asleep leaning against the wall.

"I thought you had forgotten about this place. I was just about to say that I wanted to search for Comrade Shuying and take her back."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the conference room was opened from the inside. Orlov and Novich, who had packed up their materials in advance, rushed out with their documents, reminding Shuying to get some rest when she got home.

Ye Zhanying pointed inside, "It looks like it's all done."

Qi Zecheng coughed twice with one hand to his lips, but didn't say anything.

The meeting room, which originally housed four people, was now empty except for two. Xie Zhiyan glanced inside and saw Shu Ying with her eyes closed, pressing her temples.

Jiang Yunzhou put the last sheet of paper into the folder, then walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I noticed you were rubbing your eyes a lot towards the end. Has it been too long since you've had such intense work?"

Shu Ying gave a soft "hmm". It had been a long time since she graduated from school. The last time she faced these densely packed words was when she was writing her graduation thesis. The large amount of information she had consulted in the library was imprinted in her mind. The printed fonts were easier to understand, but these handwritten words were blurry. She had to judge the missing content based on the punctuation, which was a challenge for her eyes.

"It seems I still need to get used to it. I haven't read a book for a long time, and I might have overworked my brain today. I got a headache when I was halfway through translating."

Jiang Yunzhou put the things on the table, took two steps closer to her, and said, "Let me massage your head. Stimulating some acupoints might relieve the pain."

Just as he finished speaking and was about to go over, Xie Zhiyan had already appeared beside her without her noticing. He placed an affectionate hand on Shu Ying's shoulder, ignoring Jiang Yunzhou, and asked her softly, "You haven't eaten for so long, are you hungry?"
