Right after making an awkward, muffled sound in her blanket, she immediately heard her door being knocked. Surprised to the point her scalp tensed up, Ye Jian held her breath for a short while. She did not get up immediately. Instead, she listened for signs of movement outside of the door.
“Ye Jian, I’m Qin Xiu,” standing outside the door was Qin Xiu, dressed in a suit. He spoke politely, “You need to go to the school this afternoon, the head leader has sent me to deliver your clothes.”
Oh, it was Qin Xiu.
Ye Jian couldn’t help but laugh at her easily startling behavior. Only after slapping her cheeks and calming her mind did she get up and open the door.
Qin Xiu’s gaze landed on her arm, the white bandages were quite eye-catching. He then looked at her complexion, because her skin was quite fair, the light blackness underneath her eyelids was quite visible.
Must’ve been tired.
Qin Xiu, who thought of entering the room, stood by the door and smiled: “This is for you, it’s already been cleaned and ironed. Just now, the head leader even called the Department of Foreign Affairs. He criticized the relevant staff members of being inconsiderate, everyone had at least two sets of formal attire, and they had only prepared one set of school uniform for you. That was their occupational mistake.”
Ye Jian would’ve never guessed that the head leader would be worried about her school uniform. She explained, after righting her expression: “One set is more than enough. It’s not like I have to wear it to school every day, so there was no need to wash it daily. One set was absolutely fine.”
“There’s no need for you to explain anything, it was indeed a technical error. Under normal circumstances, one set of clothes was fine, but since we’re visiting overseas, there are too many variables. Preparing one more set of clothes was their job’s responsibility.” While speaking, Qin Xiu grasped his tone and rhythm really well. When he smiled, he gave off a dignified impression, fresh and elegant like the wind brushing past a willow tree, but when work was involved, his voice went down an octave. Although he was still smiling, imperceptibly, there was a pressure that made someone feel chills.
This was a qualified foreign affair staff member, also an extraordinarily flawless and trained translator. As the ‘imperial’ translator for the head leaders of the country, his merits weren’t something an average translator could compete against.
He wouldn’t explain too much about work-related stuff to Ye Jian, everyone had their own roles, and everything that they do must have their own correct procedure. If you schemed to climb higher through the ranks, similarly, you must be able to handle everything that your own work was comprised of.
They didn’t prepare another set of clothes. Although it might seem like a trivial matter, there are no little things in diplomatic issues. A mistake is still a mistake!
He wouldn’t explain much about it to Ye Jian, he was reminding her that since the head leader had spoken up, then it wasn’t something that she would be able to meddle into. She must realize that she did not have the right to explain the staff’s mistake in their stead.
Ye Jian, who had a nimble heart, immediately understood. “Okay, I understand, also…” She lifted the paper bag that she held in her hand with a smile, “Thank you for delivering my school uniform.”
“You’re welcome. Also, I’ve ordered the hotel to serve you some breakfast, a guard will deliver it five minutes later…” Qin Xiu noticed she had understood his meaning. He laughed in his heart. This girl’s intelligence was rare to find. Uncle praised her to the high heavens, the head leader and the major general also praised her quite often, it was clear that she will become someone important in the future.
Raising his hand, the black sleeves of his blazer slid down slightly due to his movements, revealing an extremely clean and white shirt cuff that had particularly exquisite buttons, a prestigious watch that had silver metallic sheens was also announced.
