“Ma’am, what is this?”
Director Chen nodded, “Our fishermen had an accident at sea, and the marine rescue team has started a rescue operation to save them.” !!
It immediately dawned on Ye Tianxin why she had received the urgent phone call.
Any news can be spread in the smallest amount of time in our age of high-speed information development. Not to mention the fact that their local fishing boats were involved in the tragic encounter at sea. If this situation is not handled correctly, it may harm their country’s reputation.
“I’m always ready for work, ma’am.”
Director Chen assigned Ye Tianxin the task of researching the news and preparing typical responses to queries that international media could pose. At the same moment, the phones at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ News Division were ringing off the hook, and the office was trilling with life.
Ye Tianxin paid close attention to the video in front of her. The fishing boat colliding with the reef was merely an accident. The sea was intrinsically unpredictable, and anything might happen the instant a fishing boat set sail.
In ancient times, there was even a saying that women were not allowed on boats. Because of that specific saying, those who went fishing out in the sea tended to be only men.
If this matter was not handled properly, and if those men on the fishing boat could not be rescued in time, this would end up becoming a tragic disaster for many ordinary families out there!
A man was the pillar of the family and the backbone of a family’s livelihood. Nothing bad must happen to them. No, correction-in fact, every life in Empire mattered greatly whether they were male or female, old or young. It was because of the people of the Empire that their nation had love and peace.
The people of the Empire were all warriors, and not one of them would ever surrender under such circumstances. Every citizen of the Empire had an iron will. Their uncompromising attitude was the driving force for Empire’s rise to power and prosperity. Their tenacity, courage, and fearlessness are what made the Empire what it is today. Empire’s most valuable asset was its people.
“Tianxin, have you finished reading?”
Fang Nan stood at the door of Ye Tianxin’s office.
“The reporters are gathering as we speak. You should put on your makeup.”
Ye Tianxin nodded, she got the message loud and clear. It was time for her to enter the battlefield.
This was her war to fight.
The news conference today was not like the one yesterday. Ye Tianxin took a seat in front of the mirror and began applying her cosmetics. She was not used to sharing cosmetics, so she solely used her own.
Ye Tianxin has a beautiful fair complexion. She didn’t need to wear much makeup because she had such lovely skin. Just a smear of blush and a small touch of her brows was enough to transform her into a sight to see. Ye Tianxin pressed her lips together, pleased with her image in the mirror, which radiated serenity and elegance.
As she walked out of the office, Director Chen looked toward Ye Tianxin and said, “Are you ready, Tianxin?”
Director Chen was genuinely a bit concerned. She had to concede that Ye Tianxin’s first news conference had gone off without a hitch the day before, and she had no doubt in Minister Ren’s ability to choose candidates, but the difficulty today was that this press conference was unlike any other. The smallest oversight might result in a major scandal. She had no idea if Ye Tianxin would be able to manage such a high-profile news appearance.
“I’m ready.”
Ye Tianxin took a deep breath, then picked up the document and a pen, strolled calmly out of the News Division, and made her way to the hall where press conferences were usually conducted at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
