Chapter 454 Father and Daughter Reunion
Reading Settings
Seeing Shu Ying preparing methodically beside her, she tried to remain calm while secretly complaining to herself.
If a proper member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is this nervous, then Shu Ying, who is only half-baked, must be even more nervous. She's probably just faking it!
But you have to admit, she did a pretty good job of pretending, acting as if she really wasn't nervous at all.
As Du Zhiwei thought about it, she straightened her back.
She couldn't lose to Shu Ying; even if she had to pretend, she had to be more composed than Shu Ying!
The next second, she fell into self-doubt.
What were we supposed to do before the meeting started? How come she forgot everything when she got nervous?
After glancing around, Du Zhiwei realized that everyone had already made preparations. Having no other choice, she finally followed Shu Ying's steps, checked her notebook and pen, and reviewed the materials to confirm the contents.
She... she didn't mean to learn from Shu Ying; she just forgot for a moment. These were the steps she was supposed to do anyway, but Shu Ying reminded her!
Yes, that's it.
It's only natural to be nervous... After all, this is her first time participating in such an important event, and the participants are using not only her native English, but also a mix of various other languages...
She was nervous, and everyone else was probably nervous too; she wasn't the only one!
Du Zhiwei stubbornly comforted herself.
Shu Ying caught a glimpse of her movement out of the corner of her eye, and silently shook her head with a smile.
After completing all the preliminary preparations, Shu Ying took one last look at the documents and then closed the folder.
She has always had this habit. When she was in school, she would prepare thoroughly before taking exams, review the materials one last time before the exam, and then close the book without preparing anything else.
This will prevent you from getting anxious about repeatedly checking the content, allowing you to approach the next exam with a more relaxed and stable mindset.
The same principle applies to attending such large conferences.
She had done her homework last night, and after carefully recalling it today, there was no need to continue getting entangled with the information.
Amid Du Zhiwei's muttered complaints about "loading goods," Shu Ying nonchalantly began to survey the scene in the conference hall.
Participants from various countries and organizations entered the venue one after another, in twos and threes. Before entering, they first showed their invitations to the security guards at the entrance for inspection, and then checked the serial number and seal on the invitations, as well as the identity of the participants, against the venue's records.
The entire process was carried out with great rigor and meticulousness.
Shu Ying was positioned very close to the door, and could clearly hear the verification and communication sounds coming from the doorway.
Shu Ying listened listlessly, while also keeping an eye on Xie Zhiyan to see if any strange people had sneaked in.
Seeing that most of the attendees had arrived, with only a few scattered people walking in, Shu Ying was about to look away when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.
Shu Ying's gaze paused for a moment, then she turned her attention back to that direction.
"Is this Mr. Yu, the overseas Chinese philanthropist, and his assistant?"
The middle-aged man being questioned took off his top hat, smiled politely, and nodded. His face, framed by gold-rimmed glasses, was full of composure and elegance.
The assistant behind him then handed over the invitation.
The guard at the entrance quickly checked the invitation, found the recipient's name on the list of attendees, smiled, returned the invitation, and gestured for the recipient to proceed.
"Mr. Yu, welcome, please come in."
Mr. Yu...
Shu Ying carefully recalled the surname.
In her memory, she didn't seem to know anyone with the surname Yu.
But my father used the surname "Yu" before.
When he was little, he asked his father why he used this surname. His father explained that it was because the right half of the character "Yu" is very similar to the character "Shu", so they used it as a variation.
But this profile view is all too familiar.
Not only was Mr. Yu's profile familiar, but even his assistant looked quite familiar.
However, from Shu Ying's angle, she could only see their profiles from the direction they entered, and couldn't see their faces clearly.
But as Mr. Yu walked closer and closer into the building, Shu Ying's feelings grew stronger.
For a moment, she didn't care about being impolite; she frowned and followed him with her gaze until he walked into the center of the room.
Mr. Yu seemed to vaguely notice a strong gaze fixed on him, and suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning his head abruptly.
The moment the sharp gaze fell upon her, Shu Ying recognized the other person's face.
She gasped for breath, almost thinking she had misread it.
Shu Ying stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her lips trembling, uttering only a whisper that only she could hear.
"dad……"
Although Dad disguised himself, changed his usual style of dress, even modified his skin color and facial features, and even drew thick eyebrows that were completely opposite to his previous image, making his facial features more sharp.
But no matter how he changes, Shu Ying will never admit her mistake.
That's Dad.
For a moment, Shu Wenyuan forgot to control his emotions and stared at Shu Ying in disbelief.
He never expected to see his daughter here.
Even looking at the sign in front of Shu Ying and her group... she was attending this meeting as a representative of the military and a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Shu Wenyuan felt a mix of emotions in his heart.
The longing for her daughter after not seeing her for so long, the guilt of not hearing from her for so long, and the pride in her daughter's current status were all mixed together.
But no matter which one it is, nothing makes a father happier than seeing his beloved daughter sitting there peacefully, with a rosy complexion and bright eyes.
Shu Wenyuan's eyes involuntarily reddened.
He knew that his daughter would take good care of him.
Now he could finally relax completely.
With so many people around, and Shu Wenyuan's identity disguised, he had no way to go and meet Shu Ying.
Shu Ying is currently on official business, with a meeting about to begin, and is unable to leave her post.
The two could only glance at each other from afar, exchanging a comforting look before returning to their respective seats in perfect unison, ready to find another opportunity to meet after the event.
But even though it was only a brief pause of a few seconds, Fu Yunpeng, the assistant behind him, still noticed something was wrong.
The two quietly found seats and sat down. Fu Yunpeng peeked over and asked in a low voice, looking a little nervous.
"What just happened?"
Shu Wenyuan rubbed his slightly sore eyes to hide his unease, trying not to let others notice anything amiss, and answered in a low voice.
"I just saw my daughter Yingying."
Fu Yunpeng was somewhat surprised, but then couldn't help but feel happy for Shu Wenyuan.
"Now you can finally rest easy, you've finally seen your daughter."
"Yes, but seeing this girl sitting among the military representatives, I felt both proud and worried..."
