Chapter 1657: Impossible

It was not just outsiders, but even people within the courtyard were spreading the news of how successful she was as a matchmaker. The couples whom she had brought together had especially blissful lives after marriage, got along well, and hardly fought. Even if they were to fight, their relationship only improved after that. It was completely different from those couples who quarreled with each other, eventually ending in a divorce.
Everyone wished that their children would lead blissful lives after getting married. They hoped that their children would fight less and smile more.
Knowing about Qiao Nan’s capabilities, at least a few people in the courtyard had individually approached Qiao Nan, requesting that she be their matchmaker. Thankfully, Miao Jing had managed to fend them off. Miao Jing said that Qiao Nan was a cadre in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was already overwhelmed with her work as it was. She had no time to spare to be a matchmaker. Besides, Qiao Nan was not in this line of work either.
If their neighbors had such needs, they could find someone else. There were other people who were just as capable.
Miao Jing did a decent job as a ‘public relations officer’. Not only did she manage to fend off a lot of trouble for Qiao Nan, but she had also managed to pass the job on to others so that they would have the chance to make money. Qiao Nan had no lack of money, but other people might not think that this matchmaker fee was unnecessary.
Miao Jing had managed to get rid of all those who had come looking for Qiao Nan to be their matchmaker. But now, even her own daughter, San Bao, was joining in. Qiao Nan had the urge to punch someone. “Are you trying to mess with me too? Do you think I don’t have enough trouble? How old are you? You’re still so young! What nonsense are you talking about being a matchmaker? What’s in that head of yours? I’ve said it before that you can’t take it easy just because you’re in university now. It’s exactly because you’re in university that you have to pay more attention to your studies. Your four years in university are crucial.”
Qiao Nan had told San Bao this a hundred times.
It was not that Qiao Nan had groundless worries or was overly anxious about her daughter. But there had been too many bloody lessons that left Qiao Nan in a frenzy. She had thought that there would be peace in the department after Xu Xinming and Li Dawei left. But who would have known that that was impossible? Occasionally, young people would dip their toes in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It was only when he was in that position did Deng Wenchang finally understand how He Yi had felt when facing him in the past. He finally understood why He Yi had always given his documents to Qiao Nan instead of him at that time. Young people did not even have the heart to work hard and were content with just floating along, yet they thought highly of themselves.
In the face of these young people with self-deceiving confidence, Deng Wenchang could feel the malice of the graduation party toward their department. “No wonder you were so generous to give me the position of the minister of foreign affairs. I’ve faced so much trouble in this position. Is it too late to return this position to you?” Deng Wenchang looked at Qiao Nan and asked bitterly. This position was indeed not for just any ordinary person.
Qiao Nan grinned at Deng Wenchang. “Do you think you own the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Do you think you can just pass this ministerial position on so easily? If it’s really so easy, would you have treated me like your enemy when we were younger? Alright. Since you’ve already gotten the position, just hold on to it well until you retire.”
Return it to her? What a joke!
She had finally managed to hand the position over to Deng Wenchang after much difficulty. Now, she handled only practical affairs, while leaving public relations to Deng Wenchang to handle. That alone was enough to keep her busy. If she were to become the minister of foreign affairs again, wouldn’t she have to take over all the work she had finally been able to hand over to Deng Wenchang?
Did he take her for a fool?
Qiao Nan patted Deng Wenchang on the back with a face of helplessness, encouraging Deng Wenchang to continue his job with a smile. At that time, Deng Wenchang was just one step away from starting a full-on war with her. He even had Peng Yu, with his fierce gaze, by his side to help him. Now, Deng Wenchang wanted to pass on the position. How could so many good things happen to Deng Wenchang alone?
It was impossible for Deng Wenchang to escape this sea of misery. The only thing Qiao Nan could do for San Bao’s future superior was to manage San Bao well and get San Bao to master her knowledge while she was still in school. That way, when San Bao entered the workforce after graduation, she would not have only good grades but be poor at applying them practically. This would save her superiors a lot of trouble too.
“If you don’t master the content in university, you’ll be lectured with no end when you start working. I’m just warning you in advance. If something like that ever happens to you, don’t even mention the Zhai family or my name. We won’t help you. If you mention our names because of that, we’ll lose all dignity!”
San Bao rolled her eyes at her mom’s words. “Mom, can’t you expect more from me? Why do you think so lowly of me? Ever since I entered university, my grades have been excellent. I’ve always won scholarships! Do you think they’re all fake and that I’ve made them up?” She felt wronged. They had been talking about matchmaking. How had the topic of their conversation suddenly veered off to her career?
“Mom, just be outright if you don’t want to be a matchmaker for me in the future. Why do you have to bring other matters into this matter and lecture me? Mom, you’re not as gentle as you were in the past. Mom, are you going through menopause?” She made some mental calculations. She was already a university student. It would be no wonder if her mom was indeed going through menopause.
Sigh, no matter how gentle and kind her mother was, there was bound to be a terrible year once she hit that period of menopause.
Thankfully, her mom’s menopause had only started a year or two later than normal, and she was already in her second year of university. “Mom, I saw an advertisement lately. That calming oral medication seems quite effective! How about that? I’ll get two courses for you to try!” Her mother was so much better in the past. She could only hope that this menopause phase would pass quickly, and that gentle mother of hers would return.
Qiao Nan knocked gently on San Bao’s head in anger. “You sure know how to bicker with me. By the way, you’re already in your second year of university. Do you have a boyfriend yet?” At that age, she had already gotten married and given birth to the triplets. Qiao Nan really had no right to advise the three children not to start early relationships. After all, she and Zhai Sheng had set a ‘bad’ example for them.
“No.” San Bao denied decisively. “All those people are too childish. They can’t even compare with Da Bao and Er Bao. How will I ever take a fancy to anyone?” With those people, she did not feel as though she was dating. It was much more like taking Xiao Bao and his friends out to play.
She had only ever lacked a younger sister, never a younger brother. If she really wanted a younger brother by her side to take care of, she had plenty. She could just call one of them out whenever she wanted.
