Chapter 630 - 617
Chapter 630 - 617
Helian Si was a perfect politician. The thought of Yu Sangwan looking familiar only flashed briefly in his mind.
He had too many things to worry about every day. Personal time... did that even exist for him?
Helian Si glanced at her indifferently, "Level 8 in English?"
Yu Sangwan nodded blankly, "Yes." Her mouth was dry from nervousness.
"Good." Helian Si asked no further questions, merely curling his lips, "I hope you are not just all talk! You better live up to your 5A exam results!"
5A! Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to her.
Helian Si turned around, and Ou Guanshen walked up to her quickly, saying in a low voice, "Follow behind, listen carefully to every word I say on the way... You absolutely cannot make a mistake. If you mess up, your career as a journalist will be over. Do well... and we’ll see!"
"..." Yu Sangwan stared with wide eyes, swallowing hard, her heart racing, "Yes."
Ou Guanshen walked forward briskly, his mouth never stopping.
"Listen, the old spokesperson suddenly fell ill... Now, reporters from various countries are waiting in the Cabinet. What you have to do is very simple... Go in and tell them about this! Soothe the reporters, and as for their questions, the President will arrange a formal statement later."
Yu Sangwan understood, although it sounded simple, she had to face reporters from all over the world! These reporters represent more than just individuals.
Ahead, Helian Si stopped.
Yu Sangwan looked over; his back was upright... Just from this view alone, one might mistake him for Jinxuan. But she had known five years ago, this man wasn’t him.
Helian Si slightly turned, his sharp gaze just meeting Yu Sangwan’s eyes. At that moment, he frowned. Instantly, he raised his arm and pointed to a door, "Go in, remember, in full English... official parlance!"
Yu Sangwan swallowed and nodded in agreement, "Yes."
Because of the brief eye contact earlier, her cheeks were unexpectedly blushing slightly.
Ou Guanshen thought she was nervous and reminded her, "No need to be nervous, you have to know, you represent the President... In their eyes, you’re just as sacred and inviolable."
"Yes." Yu Sangwan took a deep breath, pushed open the wooden door, and walked in with a straight-back posture.
Inside, the flashlights of cameras and the sound of shutters immediately focused...
"Mr. President, is this okay?" Ou Guanshen was somewhat worried. The old spokesperson’s sudden illness was too abrupt, and this hastily called upon journalist seemed too young.
"Tch." Helian Si gave a faint glance, "What kind of problem can there be? At most, it’s just an embarrassment!"
He turned and walked towards the Cabinet.
Standing at the glass observation point, Helian Si had his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers, coldly observing everything inside the reception hall...
Yu Sangwan stood on the podium, wearing a white shirt on top, straight suit trousers below, covering the pointed shoes, her long hair loosely tied at her nape, with light makeup on her face... a non-remarkable attire, but never wrong.
She pursed her lips and smiled lightly, scanning the room. Her speaking had a genuine Nordic accent, thanks to her two-year overseas study experience.
"It’s a great pleasure to meet you, friends from the press... During these days, friends of the press have made lots of coverage on the congress and..."
In fact, Yu Sangwan was not nervous at all, her speech and demeanor were poised and appropriate, though slightly inexperienced, they were commendable.
Ou Guanshen standing behind Helian Si couldn’t help but praise, "Mr. President, she can do it!"
Helian Si didn’t speak, but his obviously relaxed brow and eyes... naturally, he was also satisfied. Being caught off guard, the effect achieved was indeed impressive.
"After it ends, have her come to my office."
"Yes!"
...
A statement meeting doesn’t need much time.
Watching the reporters disperse, Yu Sangwan held her chest in the side hall, adjusting her heartbeat and breathing... God knows how nervous she was! She was holding her breath just now. Now that she’s relaxed, she felt a bit weak. She lowered her arms, supporting her knees to stand.
"Reporter Yu."
"Yes!" Yu Sangwan instinctively stood up straight immediately.
Ou Guanshen looked at her with a full smile, "The President wants to see you."
"Ah?" Yu Sangwan was startled, "Oh, okay."
Following Ou Guanshen, they navigated through the layers of inner corridors to reach Guan Chao’s most sacred office. Ou Guanshen pressed the doorbell and spoke into the speaker, "Mr. President, Reporter Yu is here."
After two seconds, a deep male voice came from inside, "Come in."
"Yes."
Ou Guanshen raised his hand and scanned it on the fingerprint recognition device at the door, after two beeps, a slight click... the door opened.
Ou Guanshen made a gesture of invitation, "Reporter Yu."
Yu Sangwan adjusted her breathing and stepped into the office.
The entire office was in gray tones, which matched Helian Si quite well. Helian Si was standing by the window, gazing out... From his angle, he could see the peach forest in his inner courtyard. It was not the flowering season, but the fruit was in its ripe stage.
The peaches were ripe...
He had his back to the door, and Yu Sangwan dared not disturb him, standing quietly.
Helian Si was somewhat lost in thought. Over the years, his life hadn’t changed... staring at the peach forest was his precious personal time.
He turned around and saw the poised girl in front of him.
"Yu..." Helian Si frowned, unable to call her name completely.
"Yu Sangwan." Yu Sangwan quickly added.
"Hmm." Helian Si nodded slightly, "Do you know why I had you come in?"
Yu Sangwan shook her head honestly, "I don’t know."
Helian Si’s slender fingers tapped lightly and rhythmically on the desk. His hands were good-looking, just like his stature, with long, slender fingers, distinct joints, and neatly trimmed nails with a full nail bed.
"Free up your evening."
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, not expecting to be asked such a question, instinctively showing doubt, "Ah? What did you say?"
Helian Si remained expressionless, looking at her fixedly, "Have dinner with me tonight."
"Ah..." Yu Sangwan’s mouth hung open in confusion, what was this situation?
Unable to guess what this man meant, Yu Sangwan awkwardly smiled, "This, doesn’t seem appropriate?"
"Not appropriate?" Helian Si raised an eyebrow without asking for reasons, "You have no choice. I’ve said it... dinner tonight!"
"..." Yu Sangwan was astonished and helpless. How was he so similar to Jinxuan in appearance and even his bad temper was alike? What was their relationship now? Superior and subordinate, or friends? What was this overbearing unreasonable tone?
Helian Si glanced at her, ignoring her astonished yet unwilling expression, he lifted his wristwatch to check the time, "It’s four o’clock now... you have three hours of free time, at seven, I want to see you at the door!"
"..." Yu Sangwan opened her mouth.
But had no opportunity to speak, Helian Si pointed to the door, "Out!"
Yu Sangwan dared to be angry but not to speak. The person before her... was the king of this country!
Chapter 311 Come to My Side
After sending Yu Sangwan off, Ou Guanshen came in.
"Mr. President."
Helian Si narrowed his eyes slightly, "Guanshen, have you ever met this girl?"
