Chapter 1530: Deng Wenchang, Are You Willing to Accept This?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Upon hearing Li Dawei’s words, Deng Wenchang looked up and sneered. “Some people shouldn’t think so much. It’s best to understand where he or she stands. Making things difficult for her? Why don’t you think who would be easier to make things difficult for? Don’t force her to that. Otherwise, if something really happens, don’t cry.”

Li Dawei was more serious than Xu Xinming. After he was willing to work harder, He Yi agreed to give Li Dawei another chance. After Qiao Nan got promoted, she didn’t find Li Dawei trouble. However, this didn’t mean that Qiao Nan didn’t have ways to find trouble for Li Dawei.

If Li Dawei couldn’t understand this, he would be reunited with Xu Xinming and be close colleagues with him sooner or later. It was just that no one knew if their working relationship this time would be as good as when it was five or six years ago.

Li Dawei’s face changed. “Deng Wenchang, don’t you find yourself strange? Besides, are you willing to let this person suppress you?” Didn’t they say that Deng Wenchang was the first to eye the minister’s position? The old minister had some friendship with the Deng family, but Qiao Nan had appeared out of nowhere and snatched that position away. He didn’t believe that Deng Wenchang wasn’t angry at all.

But Deng Wenchang didn’t help him when he was trying to make things difficult for Qiao Nan. Why was he siding Qiao Nan with his words?

“What’s there to be unwilling about?” Deng Wenchang laughed with ridicule. “Li Dawei, do you think that it’s better for Qiao Nan or yourself to be the minister? Between the two of you, who do you think I will submit to?” He knew what Li Dawei was up to. Li Dawei wanted to get rid of Qiao Nan and then take the position of the minister himself.

In the face of Li Dawei’s naive thoughts, Deng Wenchang couldn’t help but laugh. “I feel that it’s better for Qiao Nan to sit in that position rather than someone else. Regardless, Qiao Nan is capable and has a formidable parent-in-law family. If something happens to the ministry, her parents-in-law can help solve the problem. You? What do you have for me to recognize you?”

Don’t tell him that Li Dawei was only capable of resisting. As long as Li Dawei sent Qiao Nan on a mission and let her play a complete role there, any problem that the ministry faced could be resolved.

When Li Dawei’s face changed, Deng Wenchang laughed absurdly. “Did you really think that way? Did you see yourself as an ancient emperor? Such things only happen in movies. As the leader of a department, how can you not have sufficient capabilities to convince others? If you only want to resist, you have to see if the other party is willing to listen to you. Fool.” The position of a minister wasn’t omnipotent. He or she couldn’t order the masses around and choose to execute someone if he or she wasn’t compliant.

Did he really think that it was so easy to be a minister of foreign affairs? Would words do?

Deng Wenchang had to say that Li Dawei’s mindset was really stupid. If such a person really became the minister, the country’s face would be thrown. Once he thought of that ‘beautiful’ image, Deng Wenchang closed his eyes so that he could feel slightly more comfortable.

After being ridiculed by Deng Wenchang, Li Dawei felt both angry and embarrassed. He lowered his head and didn’t say anything else to Deng Wenchang. He was worried that if he continued chatting with Deng Wenchang, he would be so angry that he burst a blood vessel. He didn’t believe that he, Li Dawei, couldn’t do something that Qiao Nan, a woman, could do.

It was Deng Wenchang’s problem that he admitted defeat. He would never be willing to be suppressed by a woman.

Impossible? The more something was impossible, the more he wanted to try. When he succeeded in pulling Qiao Nan off this position and pulling himself up, he wanted to see if Deng Wenchang dared to say these words like he did today to agitate him.

To put it bluntly, Deng Wenchang would suck up to whoever was the minister. He really didn’t have any backbone at all. If he had known that Deng Wenchang was such a person, he wouldn’t have formed an alliance with Deng Wenchang and lowered his identity and style in vain.

Qiao Nan didn’t know that her being late for half an hour as she was settling Ding Jiayi down had caused a small farce to happen between Deng Wenchang and Li Dawei.

Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had come to the capital. Qiao Nan wasn’t sure when Qiao Zijin would be leaving, or if she would be leaving, but at least, she told her father about Ding Jiayi. “Dad, this was what happened. Mom is here. She also asked me about you. I gave her your cell phone number. What happens after that, you can decide on your own.” She wasn’t going to stop him.

Qiao Dongliang’s temples throbbed. “Did they cause you trouble again? Haven’t you been giving your mother a thousand yuan of living allowance every month? Based on her character, she should have saved quite a bit over the years, right? Why did she have to come over to the capital if her life’s good? Did she cause you trouble?!”

His biggest mistake in this lifetime wasn’t marrying Ding Jiayi. It was after marrying Ding Jiayi, he didn’t realize what kind of person she was. Not to mention that Ding Jiayi had raised his two daughters up as such, but the older she got, the more foolish she became and the more trouble she caused.

If he had known about Ding Jiayi’s character when he was young, even if he didn’t hit women, he would have used means to keep Ding Jiayi in check. Now that he was old, he didn’t have the bad temper he had when he was younger. Otherwise, Ding Jiayi would only have to suffer.

“She wanted to stay in the capital, so I rented a house for her. The rest is the same as when she was in Ping Cheng. She hasn’t caused me trouble yet. I’m letting you know about this as I hope you’ll have an idea about the situation.”

“Okay. As long as she doesn’t cause you any trouble, the rest isn’t important.” Especially the broken relationship he had with Ding Jiayi. They had already gotten a divorce. What more was there to talk about? “Nan Nan, if anything happens, remember to let me know. I’ll help you.” Even if they were already divorced, if Ding Jiayi went too overboard, he would have to help Nan Nan.

Ding Jiayi was Nan Nan’s mother. He was still Nan Nan’s father!

With him around, Ding Jiayi didn’t need to think about bullying Nan Nan alone, like she used to.

“Okay.” Qiao Nan didn’t expect Qiao Dongliang to help her. However, she thought that it was good that he had the heart to.

“Oh, right, the house you helped your mother find is your own?” Qiao Dongliang knew that after Elder Lin was gone, Qiao Nan obtained quite a number of things. These included many properties Elder Lin left behind for her. Qiao Dongliang didn’t ask how many valuable things Qiao Nan had in her hands, but he could imagine that this amount of wealth was something that he couldn’t earn even half of it in his ten lifetimes.

His daughter was rich. Qiao Dongliang was naturally happy for Qiao Nan. He could be truly at ease only if Qiao Nan led a good life.
