As soon as groans of embarrassment were made under the blanket, someone knocked on the door. Ye Jian didn’t immediately get up but held her breath for a while and listened to the movements outside.
“Ye Jian, it’s Qin Xiu.” Standing outside the door and dressed in a suit, Qin Xiu said politely, “You’ll be going to a school this afternoon, the Head asked me to send you a set of clothes.”
It was Qin Xiu.
Ye Jian couldn’t help but laugh at her surprised behavior. She patted her face and calmed herself down before opening the door.
Qin Xiu’s gaze first landed on her arm and then on her face. The white bandage was unpleasant to look at, and her eye bags were obvious too because of her fair complexion.
She was tired.
Qin Xiu, who had wanted to enter the room, stood at the door and smiled, “This is for you, they have already been dry-cleaned and ironed. The Head called the Foreign Affairs Department just now to criticize them for their poor consideration. Everyone had at least two sets of formal attire, but there was only one set of school uniform for you. It was a mistake.”
Ye Jian didn’t think that her school uniform would cause the Head to worry about it, and reassured him, “One set is enough. I don’t need to wear it and wash it every day. It’s totally fine.”
“You don’t have to explain anything. It’s a mistake. Under normal circumstances, one set would suffice, but there is too much uncertainty when visiting abroad. Having an additional set is a responsibility for your own work.” Qin Xiu had a very good grasp of tone and rhythm when he spoke. It was like the wind was brushing past the willows when he smiled. When he mentioned work matters, his tone was slightly lowered, and people could feel the constrain.
He was a qualified diplomatic staff member and an impeccable translator. As the official translator of the country’s leaders, he was by no means comparable to the average translator.
He didn’t explain too much to Ye Jian about work. Everyone had their own duties and each task had their own process. Whatever role, whatever position, they had to be thorough about the things they did.
Although not preparing an additional set of clothes might seem like a trivial matter, there was no such thing as ‘trivial’ in diplomacy. Wrong is wrong.
He didn’t explain too much to Ye Jian and simply reminded her that the Head had come forward, and it was not something that she could interfere with any longer. He also had to let her understand that she did not have the power to explain the staff’s mistake.
Ye Jian, who was full of thoughts, immediately understood, “Okay, I understand, and…” She squeezed the paper bag in her hands and smiled slightly, “Thank you for bringing me the uniform.”
“You’re welcome. I have asked the hotel to prepare breakfast for you. The guards will deliver the breakfast over in five minutes…” Qin Xiu saw that she had understood him and smiled. It was rare to have a smart girl like her. His uncle, the Head, and the major general were all full of praise for her. She would be someone great in the future.
Raising his hand, the black suit cuffs closed up slightly with his movements, revealing his white and exquisite shirt. An expensive watch with a silver metallic luster was also exposed.
