Chapter 535: Diplomatic Rhetoric

"Looking at Nan Nan and her partners, haven't you ever thought about when we were young?" Hua Wensheng took a sip of tea, then sat on the sofa, sitting without any proper posture.

And the Principal didn't mind it either; if he were to bicker with him, setting aside whether he could win the argument, he would certainly end up angry for a while.

"At that time, the four of us took an oath of brotherhood, vowing not to marry or take wives, dedicating our lives to the country." Hua Wensheng didn't care how he answered and spoke to himself.

The Principal felt he was old, having lost much of his drive, and after so many years, his courage had diminished; he only wanted to guard his own small patch of land before him.

"Things are different now," the Principal said in a muffled voice.

Hua Wensheng glanced at him, "How are they different?"

Before the Principal could even speak, his sarcastic words were thrown right at him.

"Is it that the era is too good? Has it made you forget the days of hardship in the past?"

"Or are you too old? Has it made you forget the time when you were high-spirited and making vows?"

The Principal heard his words and was choked up; in the end, he shook his head helplessly. He had to admit that he was older now, thought about more things, and lacked his former adventurous spirit.

"Then step down early and let someone more capable take your place." These words were not spoken by Hua Wensheng.

The two people in the office stood up one after another and looked at the person at the door; his hair had already turned white, and there were furrows on his face.

"Big Brother," Hua Wensheng called out, losing his previous demeanor.

The Principal also called out, "Big Brother."

Wang Yunzhi looked at the two of them, "I've heard about today's events; you have been muddled."

Wang Yunzhi looked at the Principal with an expression of disappointment.

However, seeing Hua Wensheng's smug look, he didn't have the heart to scold him right now; how old were they, yet they still bickered day after day.

Only he was so unreliable, yet he never tired of it day after day.

"I..." The Principal ultimately did not defend himself. He could argue with Lao Hua and debate with Feng Lao, but only with Big Brother could he not say words that went against his heart.

"The new generation has already risen; you are right by their side, can you not see the light in their eyes?"

"If this matter is suppressed, even if that girl agrees, I will not," Wang Yunzhi stated his position with resonance.

And Hua Wensheng nodded from the side, "I don't agree either."

Wang Yunzhi endured and endured, "Shut up!"

How is it that only his age grows, but his ability does not?

Being so noisy day after day, there probably aren't many people who could stand his temperament.

However, he thought of that girl; whenever Hua Wensheng was mentioned, she had an expression of doting on him. He didn't know which of the two was actually older.

"I was afraid the school would fall into chaos; I don't know if that era has passed, and these children have it hard."

The Principal also had his concerns, it was just that they stood in different positions, so the things they worried about were also different.

"The first batch of university students is about to graduate; that era is already very distant."

Wang Yunzhi sighed softly; that era had left an indelible impression on their group, and it was also a wound that could not be smoothed over.

Therefore, he understood.

Among the four of them, he was the most stable and gentle person; he had no fighting spirit, so he was only suited for the university.

A complex environment would only destroy his character.

"It's just that I'm used to being afraid!" The Principal gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He turned to look at Hua Wensheng, "Next time, don't keep things from me."

Hua Wensheng saw his appearance; he had already come to terms with it, "Depends on my mood."

Although he had softened his stance, his mouth remained stubborn.

"Big Brother, why did you come over today?" The Principal looked at Wang Yunzhi.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was busier now, especially after the design drawings; standing at their level, they naturally knew about this matter.

And the Military Department had requested leave for Student An; although it was glossed over, he wasn't a fool, and he could guess the general situation.

"Do you know what Diplomatic Rhetoric An Yinan used?" Wang Yunzhi looked at the two people in the office.

The Principal and Hua Wensheng looked at each other and shook their heads.

"It just made one feel blood boiling, just felt that everything she said was completely right." The Principal thought repeatedly; today he was able to take a step back because An Yinan had taken a step forward, letting him see a brighter future.

For the sake of such a young person, he was willing to yield.

"That girl's way of speaking has always been convincing." Hua Wensheng took a sip of tea indifferently; although he was already mindful of his sitting posture, the devil-may-care habit formed over many years was not so easy to change.

Wang Yunzhi smiled, "Diplomatic Rhetoric."

He hadn't heard all of those words, but he hadn't missed the key points.

He could be certain that this rhetoric was Diplomatic Rhetoric.

And her counter-attack strategy was also to praise before criticizing, a single strike to kill.

This was the habit of their Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and also a fighting style formed over many years.

Soldiers had their own fighting styles, and their Ministry of Foreign Affairs also had its own fighting style.

"Diplomatic Rhetoric?" Hua Wensheng asked in disbelief, then thought for a moment and shook his head, "Impossible, that girl is very lazy; she has no time to learn any Diplomatic Rhetoric."

"Besides, she doesn't like being constrained; she advocates for freedom and advocates for doing things her own way."

If An Yinan were here, it must be said, she would sigh and say that Hua Laotou truly understood her too well.

She advocated for freedom and could not stand desk jobs the most—fixed times, fixed tasks, and fixed procedures every day.

"Right, she hasn't specifically studied it, but she knows how!" Wang Yunzhi narrowed his eyes.

"What does that represent?" the Principal said.

"It represents that she is naturally material for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Wang Yunzhi looked at the two with an expression of "iron not becoming steel," as if they were two blocks of wood; neither reacted as quickly as his own two disciples.

"I just said it, she won't go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Big Brother, you'd better give up on this idea early." Hua Wensheng was not afraid of hurting people; he spoke bluntly and did not allow for rebuttal.

Wang Yunzhi thought for a moment; it wasn't as if she hadn't been rejected before, perhaps, it was worth a try?

"I'll go find her." Thinking of this, Wang Yunzhi stood up immediately. Chatting with these two blocks of wood was not as good as going to find Comrade An to sound her out; what if she had softened her stance now?

"Minister Wang, I really do not like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." An Yinan looked at the old man and helplessly repeated what she had said before.

Wang Yunzhi smiled gently, though this smile was truly somewhat hair-raising, "You don't like it now, but perhaps you will in the future. One must come into contact with all things before one can have a final answer."

Between laughter and tears—that was An Yinan's state of mind right now.

Looking at the gentle Wang Yunzhi, she thought of their contest in Nanhou; it could be considered a draw!

It wasn't as if it hadn't involved the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

Why did she provoke this great deity again today?
