Chapter 670: Teacher An, are you looking for us?

What kind of documents could there possibly be now that absolutely require her to translate them?

Aside from mechanical matters that require her as an outside expert, she is not supposed to be involved in any other tasks assigned by the Compilation Bureau.

Yet, the documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are, as it happens, unlikely to be mechanical matters.

Then...

"Leave them for now, there's no rush."

An Yinan thought for a moment and had to admit that Minister Wang truly has many tricks up his sleeve.

Even in the current situation, he still left behind so many contingencies.

However, given Wang Yunzhi's style, those documents from just a moment ago likely contain very important information; they just haven't found the method to access it yet.

She was no longer in a hurry either.

"Eat!" With that order, everyone finally rested.

An Xiangbei looked at his sister and the fatigue on her face.

"Sister, let me massage your shoulders." An Xiangbei stood up and walked behind An Yinan.

Ever since they went to the countryside, his sister had been constantly busy, and he rarely got to see her.

After he began following his master and came into contact with more and more things, he realized just how significant the work his sister was doing truly was.

The admiration that had remained since childhood kept this boy chasing after her as he grew up, and he would benefit from it for the rest of his life.

"Your hand strength isn't enough. After you graduate, I will tell Minister Wang to send you to the Military to train." An Yinan narrowed her eyes; she had always required Beibei to practice the Eight Brocades.

But looking at this progress, he still needs to train.

Besides, not to mention anything else, the safety of diplomatic personnel is extremely important; although there are people protecting them when they go out, other people's abilities are ultimately not as good as having one's own.

Only when one has the ability oneself can one be free from distractions and focus on diplomacy.

Because, one has confidence inside.

"Okay." An Xiangbei agreed without hesitation; whatever his sister said must be reasonable, and his sister had always had his best interests at heart—he had never doubted this from childhood to adulthood.

Wang Dazhi was somewhat absent-minded; he picked up some food, only for it to fall back into his lunchbox.

Seeing him like that, An Yinan shook her head.

"Are you worried?" An Yinan asked.

Wang Dazhi nodded, "I don't know how my master is doing."

An Yinan raised an eyebrow, "Then how did you know to guard the door?"

She found it a bit strange.

The news of Minister Wang's injury should not have been known to outsiders; those who knew, besides the people performing the surgery and the hospital staff, were the people at the top.

Yet, as it happens, she saw the conflict at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; it seems quite a few people know now.

"We received a call telling us to watch over the office," An Xiangbei answered directly.

She nodded—watch over the office.

That is very much Wang Yunzhi's style; as for whether there is anything important inside the office, that is unclear.

"Eat. Minister Wang is alive; I participated in the surgery." An Yinan's following words made both of their eyes light up.

An Yinan is the Life-Saving Bodhisattva of the battlefield!

There has never been a death case in a surgery she participated in.

"However..."

"When we are outside, I don't need to teach you what expressions or emotions to show, do I?" An Yinan put down her chopsticks and gave instructions to the two of them.

It is a special period now; even if the other side knows Minister Wang has had an accident, the people at the top will likely keep his condition under wraps.

It probably won't be that easy for those people to find out whether Minister Wang is dead or alive.

"Mm-hmm, we know."

"I know too."

The two of them answered quickly.

After they finished speaking, they finally had the heart to eat and began shoveling in their food.

An Yinan looked at that box of documents, her gaze deepening; she could only wait for a call from the Military District Hospital to see what the situation was there.

As for the documents in their hands, she was not yet prepared to ask for them.

She would wait until the time was right.

That night, the lights at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stayed on all night.

Those who were originally going to get off work returned to their posts one after another and began to check the work they were responsible for.

A new official brings a new broom; none of them wanted this fire to burn them.

"Teacher An."

"Teacher An, are you looking for us?"

Hearing the sounds of them greeting her one by one, An Yinan felt that the exhaustion of the whole night didn't seem to matter as much after seeing them.

"Come into the classroom to talk." An Yinan raised her hand, and Wang Dazhi stood guard outside to prevent others from eavesdropping.

Wang Yunzhi had previously given her the background information on the people inside.

She also had some investigations on their general information.

Now that she was assigning tasks, it was actually quite convenient.

"I am now taking over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Acting Minister." An Yinan's opening sentence made the thirty or so people below look at each other in dismay.

Acting Minister?

Then what about the previous Minister Wang? And how long will she be acting? Or will it always be Teacher An?

No matter who it is, when faced with a sudden change, there will inevitably be questions in their mind; this is unavoidable.

However, Teacher An's classroom has always had strict discipline; you may have doubts, and you may have questions, but they must all stay in your bellies.

Although the people below were puzzled, no one spoke.

"Now, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received a task from above; I think everyone has heard a little something about it, more or less."

"The Hong Kong City handover negotiations."

An Yinan's six words struck like a hammer, and many things that people had previously only dared to think about in their hearts were suddenly brought out onto the table.
