“Linlang, are you trying to comfort me?”

Ye Linlang shot a warning look at Xie Xuning. “Where did you hear that from? I’m complaining about you not spending enough time with us.”

“Yes, Darling. I was wrong. I promise to spend more time with you in the future.”

The two of them walked from the lobby into the elevator. Bai Xiaoxiao and her colleagues were also in the elevator, coming up from the underground car park.

“Xiaoxiao, you have to be more serious at work now that you’ve changed departments. I noticed that you have been surfing the internet this whole afternoon.”

Bai Xiaoxiao was still cordial toward this colleague at first, but she exploded when she heard her advice.

“I would’ve never been transferred out of the Information Department if it wasn’t for Ye Tianxin. It’s all her fault that I was demoted.”

It was not a demotion, just a transfer to a different job nature. The salary and benefits remained the same. The only difference was that the department Bai Xiaoxiao was now working in was not as promising for her career as the Information Department.

The colleague froze for a moment before replying, “Xiaoxiao, have you ever stopped for a second to think you have been transferred? Why didn’t anyone ask Director Chen not to transfer you on your behalf?”

“That’s because Ye Tianxin had a powerful background. Those people don’t want to offend Ye Tianxin and her father.”

Bai Ziaoziao looked resentful and indignant. She believed that if Ye Tianxin had never appeared, she would still be the most popular person in the Information Department. They would always give in to her demands.

“Xiaoxiao, Fang Nan joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the same as you, but she has been appointed as Ye Tianxin’s secretary. Her salary is now higher than yours. Has it ever occurred to you that you would’ve become Ye Tianxin’s secretary if you didn’t create all this trouble?”

Bai Xiaoxiao interrupted, “Why should I be Ye Tianxin’s secretary? I have a master’s degree. Without her parents, Ye Tianxin would be nothing.”

Both Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning had been listening to the conversation quietly. They could not stay silent anymore.

Ye Linlang looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and said in a grave voice, “Young lady, you are wrong. Without her parents, Ye Tianxin would still be able to realize her dream.”

Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning knew very well that they had given Ye Tianxin a better platform to perform, but she would still become an outstanding diplomat even if they hadn’t helped her. Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning were very sure of this.

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed with disdain and said, “How stupid. Do you think Ye Tianxin could succeed as a diplomat if she had different parents?”

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoxiao’s colleague’s sharp eyes noticed that Xie Xuning looked familiar. She thought about it for a while but could not remember where she had seen Xie Xuning.

“When Ren Jianye wanted my daughter to be the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I didn’t agree to it. I believed that there is an appropriate time for everyone.”

The colleague looked at Xie Xuning in shock before asking in a trembling voice, “Are you Mr. Xie, Ye Tianxin’s father?”

“Yes, I am Ye Tianxin’s father.” Xie Xuning’s sharp eyes fell on Bai Xiaoxiao. He had such a commanding presence that Bai Xiaoxiao froze in the small, enclosed elevator. How could she be so unlucky to be caught in such a situation?

She was only complaining to her colleagues about Ye Tianxin when she ran into the girl’s parents.

“I…” Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to apologize and explain.

Xie Xuning then said in a stern voice, “Ms. Bai, do you know what the biggest difference between you and my daughter is?”
