Chapter 335

He had held this pocket watch for so long, and looked at the girl in the photo for so long, and all he knew was that he was attracted to the girl in the photo. He had long been incredibly curious about what he and the girl in the photo had gone through and what their relationship was like.

Over this long period of time, he had had many guesses in his mind.

He even wondered if he and this girl could possibly be siblings.

But after thinking about it, I realized it was impossible.

What kind of brother would have his heart race instinctively for his sister? Isn't that beastly?

After much guessing, he still felt that they were probably in a romantic relationship.

Even if it's not as dramatic as the love stories written in them, it's still quite intricate and touching.

If they are truly in this kind of relationship, perhaps today is the day their love will culminate in marriage.

Du Chenzhou stared expectantly in the direction of the police station entrance, unable to stop himself from imagining what the girl who would come in from there would look like.

Meanwhile, in the car.

Du Zhiwei was frowning and staring ahead, urging him on.

"You're still driving too slowly. Go faster and catch up with the car in front!"

"Hurry up, we have to get there before them!"

"Xiao Zhou, are you a terrible driver? You could have caught up with me if you had just stepped on the gas. Can't you even lift your neck?"

Du Zhiwei was in a great hurry, as if if she were even a step slower, flames would lick her from behind and set her on fire.

Driver Xiao Zhou sighed helplessly and could only grip the steering wheel firmly and accelerate as much as possible.

I don't know what Du Zhiwei is arguing about. Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying's car set off first, and it doesn't matter if they arrive a few seconds earlier.

This is for errands, not a race. Why do you have to overtake?

Besides, we're all in the same unit. If we're not in the military, we're family members. Aren't we all one family? Why distinguish between you, me, and him...?

However, Xiao Zhou only dared to complain silently in his heart, and naturally did not dare to say a word on the surface.

After all, this young lady is known for her temper, and she's also Commander Du's granddaughter. She's not someone to mess with.

Despite his best efforts to remain silent, the expression on his face betrayed his emotions.

Du Zhiwei glanced at him, and just by looking at his angry but speechless expression, she knew that he had said a lot of bad things about her in his heart.

Du Zhiwei pursed her lips unhappily, trying to hold back, but she couldn't help herself—

"Xiao Zhou, you don't need to keep things to yourself. Isn't it tiring to keep them inside? Just say it!"

Xiao Zhou was startled by her. He turned his head and secretly glanced at her. He probably realized that his expression had given him away, so he quickly adjusted himself and coughed lightly, looking a little awkward.

"Comrade Du, what are you talking about?"

Du Zhiwei crossed her arms, her mind racing through the events of the past few days.

The pent-up anger and resentment in her heart was already making her uncomfortable, and now this new trigger made it even more difficult for her to swallow her anger. She was extremely unhappy.

Since you can't let it all out, just let it all out!

She took a deep breath—

"I know you all think I'm too competitive, that I have to compete with that Shu Ying, and that I don't need to, right?"

“Some people even secretly said behind my back that I couldn’t stand others being better than me, that I was too jealous, and that I was afraid of being overshadowed by Shu Ying.”

Du Zhiwei gave a cold laugh.

"What a joke! What do I have to be afraid of? I oppose Shu Ying joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because she is simply not suitable, and her abilities are insufficient!"

In her anger, Du Zhiwei spoke faster and faster, and her tone became increasingly forceful.

"Don't you people realize how important the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to the entire country?"

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the mouthpiece of the country and its face to the outside world. It is such an important department."

“Everyone who can come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a talent who has been carefully selected through layers of screening and careful selection.

"What kind of people do we receive every day? They are all VIPs from various countries, people whose every move affects the relations between countries."

"Shouldn't a department like this have high standards and strict requirements for selecting people?"

As Du Zhiwei spoke, she slammed her hand on the car seat, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had accumulated over the past few days.

"Moreover, the VIPs we are about to receive are very important. First, Shu Ying is not a professional in this field. Second, simultaneous interpretation requires rigorous training and strict work standards."

"This job requires exceptional adaptability, a large vocabulary, and a strong memory. You need to be top-notch in all these areas to stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

“Our colleagues do related training almost every day, sacrificing a lot of rest time to maintain their sense of language and achieve accuracy, fluency, and elegance.”

"Not everyone has this ability. Just the memory test alone eliminates countless people every year."

"We work so hard, why should Shu Ying be able to join us so easily and do the same work as us?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhou couldn't help but weakly remind him—

"Comrade Shu Ying has a photographic memory and an exceptional memory."

"Furthermore, as the leader has previously stated, Comrade Shu Ying comes from a family with a strong scholarly tradition and possesses a wealth of literary knowledge. Her translations are accurate, detailed, and written in beautiful and appropriate language..."

Realizing he had gone too far in undermining Du Zhiwei, Du Chenzhou lowered his voice further and further, finally clearing his throat as a cover-up.

Du Zhiwei was momentarily speechless and remained silent for a long time, pursing her lips.
