Before Bai Hongzhang left, Mrs. Qiao specifically said to Bai Hongzhang: "Hongzhang, do you want to see that woman? If you want to see her, I will let her out now."
Bai Hongzhang's face was full of disdain.
He has been a high-ranking official for three generations, and his official arrogance is not ordinary. Most people don't take him seriously at all, let alone a little nanny.
Bai Hongzhang said coldly: "I'll go see your Excellency first."
…
Fang Liyuan came over.
Bai Hongzhang was here before, so it was not easy for her to come and listen to the conversation. Now that Bai Hongzhang left, Fang Liyuan came immediately and asked Mrs. Qiao for Bai Hongzhang's opinion.
"Of course his opinion is that Shaoting cannot marry that woman."
Fang Liyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She said: "Old lady, I told you before that Shaoting was going to marry that woman. You still didn't believe me, and you said that I wasn't safe enough. Now, old lady, you finally believe me."
Although Fang Liyuan seemed to be complaining, her voice was very soft, so Mrs. Qiao didn't sound too disgusted.
"Liyuan, I wrongly blamed you for this matter." Mrs. Qiao did not forget to give Fang Liyuan a hard scolding for this matter.
But how did she know that Qiao Shaoting said she would not marry Qin Yu, but then suddenly changed her tune a few hours later? This was something she could not have expected.
"It's okay, old lady. As long as we break up Shaoting and that woman as soon as possible, my grievances will not be in vain."
Mrs. Qiao glanced appreciatively at Fang Liyuan.
Fang Liyuan is a pretty good wife.
Logically speaking, this had nothing to do with her, and there was no need for her to wade into this muddy water, but Fang Liyuan still cared so much...
Fang Liyuan is so kind to her brother-in-law Qiao Shaoting because she cares about the reputation of the Qiao family.
…
presidential palace.
Bai Hongzhang met Qiao Shaoting.
"Sir, I have received notice that you are getting married."
"Yes." Qiao Shaoting's eyes fell on the document in his hand, his expression indifferent.
Bai Hongzhang suppressed his emotions: 'Sir, why didn't you inform me about such a big thing?"
"Isn't this a notice?"
"Your Excellency..." Bai Hongzhang was speechless by Qiao Shaoting.
Later he said: "Your Excellency, you have not sent the identity information of this woman to the cabinet. Our cabinet needs to discuss it again."
Qiao Shaoting put down the document in his hand.
He raised his eyes and looked at Bai Hongzhang.
"Uncle Bai." Although Qiao Shaoting is now the president of Northern China and Bai Hongzhang is just his subordinate, out of respect, Qiao Shaoting still often calls Bai Hongzhang "Uncle Bai" when no one is around.
"There is no need to send her information and identity because she has no family background. She is just an ordinary girl among all living beings, so there is no need for the cabinet to discuss it."
Qiao Shaoting's words were low but filled with irresistible power.
Bai Hongzhang felt a thump in his heart.
No wonder Mrs. Qiao came to him for the first time. Judging from Qiao Shaoting's tone at this moment, this matter was indeed very serious.
He must persuade Qiao Shaoting to return.
For the sake of Beiguo, it also improved Qiao Shaoting's reputation.
After careful consideration, Bai Hongzhang spoke: "Sir, I heard that that woman turned out to be just a servant of the Qiao family."
Qiao Shaoting's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
He stared at Bai Hongzhang and his voice became deeper: "The old lady told you. The old lady is looking for you."
Bai Hongzhang laughed bitterly in his heart.
Your Excellency, you are indeed as smart as ever.
Bai Hongzhang knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply admitted it openly: "Sir, yes, the old lady came to find me, but the old lady also worked very hard, and she did it all for your own good."
Qiao Shaoting said nothing.
The thin lips under his straight nose formed a straight line.
Bai Hongzhang added: "Your Excellency, I know there are some words you don't like to hear, but I still have to say that you are not an ordinary person, you are the president of a country, so you must be careful when marrying a wife, and you must find a woman who can match you well.
.”
Qiao Shaoting glanced at Bai Hongzhang: "She and I are a perfect match. We couldn't be more perfect. Looking around the world, there is no woman more suitable for me than her."
Bai Hongzhang: "...
He couldn't help but raise his voice: "Sir, what nonsense are you talking about? How can a servant be a good match for you?"
"A servant is not a good match for me?" Qiao Shaoting asked.
"Of course." Bai Hongzhang said affirmatively.
Qiao Shaoting sneered: "In the Northern Kingdom's propaganda to the people, all living beings are equal, and now you are telling me that a servant is not worthy of me?"
Bai Hongzhang: "..."
He shook his head: "Your Excellency, this is propaganda to the people. It is impossible to directly tell the people that people are divided into three, six, and nine grades, but the fact is indeed like this. Not to mention the Northern Kingdom, even if it is placed in the world, this servant is not worthy.
For the President.”
Qiao Shaoting's eyes became sharper: "Uncle Bai, what you are saying is that the government has been fooling the people."
Bai Hongzhang almost broke out in cold sweat.
He couldn't bear to have such a high hat placed on his head.
"Sir, of course that's not what I meant."
"Very good." Qiao Shaoting said, "Since that's not what you mean, there's no need to say it anymore."
How could Bai Hongzhang not say it?
He stood there thinking for a while and then said: "Your Excellency, let's not talk about the question of whether it is worthy or not. Naturally, political factors must be considered when marrying a president, and marrying a servant is obviously not appropriate. Your Excellency, before
Our cabinet held a meeting and unanimously agreed that it would be most appropriate for you to marry the daughter of the president of the Western Kingdom, which would be beneficial to both you personally and the Northern Kingdom."
"Oh." Qiao Shaoting glanced at Bai Hongzhang: "Uncle Bai, do you mean, do I need to develop the North to maintain my political power, or do I need a woman?"
Bai Hongzhang felt miserable.
Qiao Shaoting was covering him with hats one after another, and he couldn't hold it down at all.
He had known for a long time that although Qiao Shaoting was cold-blooded and usually reluctant to say a word, he was actually very eloquent. He also knew that when Qiao Shaoting was in college, whenever the school held debate competitions, Qiao Shaoting would always be able to speak well.
Win first place.
Today's conversation is indeed like this.
Obviously this matter was Qiao Shaoting's fault, but Qiao Shaoting suddenly had the upper hand, which made it look like everything was wrong with Bai Hongzhang.
"Your Excellency, I have worked very hard. I am doing it for your own good and especially for the good of the Northern Kingdom!" Bai Hongzhang couldn't explain it, so he simply used the persona of "loyal minister".
Qiao Shaoting's eyes shimmered.
He also knows that Bai Hongzhang is loyal, otherwise he would not bother to talk so much nonsense if it were someone else's words.
"Uncle Bai, I know you are loyal, but I have the freedom to marry. In the North Country, everyone from the president to the common people has the freedom to marry. This is a basic right." Qiao Shaoting said lightly.
