The Peng family had made some effort for Deng Wenchang to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Peng family hoped that Deng Wenchang could take her position so that they would have a more beneficial relationship with the entire ministry. However, after she took on this position, Qiao Nan was surprised to find that Deng Wenchang was calm. It was as if he had long accepted such an outcome. What was more important was that Deng Wenchang's cooperation and completion of the tasks assigned by her, the new minister, were above others.
Qiao Nan couldn't help but hesitate why Deng Wenchang did so. Could it be that he wanted to make her numb so that she would be careless and make mistakes easily? That way, he would have something of hers in his hands.
