Good Morning, Mr. President! - Chapter 24

Chapter 24

“How could this happen?” Chi Weiyang also noticed the news on TV .

“Does he get injured too?” Xia Xingchen muttered, her heart hanging over the throat . The horror on the White Feather Square scared her .

“God, I heard that the president got injured, is it true?”

“No way, is his injury serious or not?”

“Who knows . It is estimated that this explosion is aimed at Mr . President . If Mr . President really gets injured, I will be really grieved . ” Others in the lounge also saw the news, and there was a lot of discussions .

Xia Xingchen stared at the TV and wanted to see further reports . However, the news didn’t come out so fast .

Chi Weiyang looked at the news and looked at Xia Xingchen . Then Chi Weiyang waved in front of her face . “Hey! Xingchen, are you okay? You look pale . ”

Xia Xingchen shook her head and grabbed Chi Weiyang’s hands, still staring at the TV .

“Why is there no further report yet?” she was quite worried .

“Stop watching now . ” Chi Weiyang said: “The performance appraisal in probation will start soon, we have to prepare for it . ”

“Weiyang, you just go, I will wait here for further news . ” Although she really wanted to give him a phone call and ask the specific circumstance, she didn’t dial either him or Leng Fei .

Looking at her, then at the TV, Chi Weiyang started to speak, “Who are you worried about now?”

“Bai Ye …” the name almost escaped his lips . Realizing that too late, she broke off in mid-sentence, dropping in silence .

Nonetheless, Chi Weiyang heard that clearly, and asked, “Mr . President?”

In Xia Xingchen’s mind, everything was total in a mess now . She had scarcely the strength to hide the truth and just nodded .

Completely thinking that she was just a common citizen who expressed concern about the leader, Chi Weiyang said with disapproval, “Forget it, you are just justifying your fear . Do you think it is necessary for you to be worried about Mr . President? Besides, there are so many bodyguards around him . He will be OK . ”

“Really?”

“Of course . Now, nothing can be more important than your performance appraisal in probation . Just follow me . ” Chi Weiyang pulled Xia Xingchen’s hand and left together .

Xia Xingchen’s heart had been on pins and needles, anxious and restless . Although she was not watching the TV, she constantly browsed the news on her mobile phone . There have been rumors said that it was a terrorist attack aiming at the president .

No news was bad news!

Xia Xingchen had been anxious . Until the news said that the president was safe, she was relieved, with a smile on her pale face .

Staring at Xia Xingchen for a long time, Chi Weiyang finally couldn’t help but say, “Xingchen… you seem to be very concerned about Mr . President . Why do you worry about him so much?”

Xia Xingchen was stunned, putting the phone away, and asked, “He is our president . Don’t you care about him?”

“Yes, of course . But I don’t care about him the same as you . What you do is more than caring for him . If others know your reaction to Mr . President’s injury, they must think you are worried about your lover!”

Lover?

Because of the words that Chi Weiyang said, Xia Xingchen was shocked .

“Yes, why do I worry about Mr . President so much? Even though we had been close to each other, we two are not even friend now,” thought Xia Xingchen .

“No! It’s impossible! I can’t be so stupid that I fall in love with that man!”

“Nonsense,” Xia Xingchen sternly refuted Chi Weiyang . It seemed the word was said to Chi Weiyang, but it was more like to say to herself . “If I have fallen in love with someone, that guy must be Xu Yan . It has nothing to do with Mr . President . ”

Chi Weiyang stared at her and laughed . “Just kidding! Why are you so serious? Mr . President is a handsome man who has great achievements in his official career . So everyone is worried about him for his getting hurt in the accident . But the performance appraisal in probation will start soon, I’m more worried about the assessment . ”

So…

I had just worried about him so much, and it was no different from others . Wasn’t it normal? It must be normal .

Thinking about that, Xia Xingchen calmed down .

The assessment had not yet turned to Xia Xingchen, and her cell phone rang .

Unfamiliar number .

She didn’t think much, walking off and picking up the phone .

“Miss Xia . ”

“Leng Fei?” She recognized the voice instantly . But why he called me?

“What’s the matter? I just watched the news . Fortunately, Mr . President…”

“Miss Xia, Your Excellency was seriously injured . We need your help . Please come out . The car is waiting for you at the entrance . ”

“What?” A number of worries attacked Xia Xingchen, “But the news clearly showed…”

“I can’t tell you details on the phone . Please do not tell others that Your Excellency was badly hurt . Please hurry up . ”

“OK, I see . I’m coming out . ”

“Your Excellency is severely injured,” the words from Leng Fei filled up Xia Xingchen’s mind . She put her cellphone back in her bag and rushed outside directly .

Chi Weiyang noticed and stopped Xia Xingchen at once . “Hey, where are going? It is going to be your turn . ”

“I quit . Go on to take your exam . ”

“Are you crazy? How long have you been fighting for this opportunity? The Foreign Ministry is not a place where anyone can be employed . It will be your turn, are you going to give up this opportunity?” Chi Weiyang stared at her .

“I got something really urgent . ” Xia Xingchen shook off Chi Weiyang’s hands . She looked extremely worried .

“What is more urgent than your job?”

Xia Xingchen couldn’t explain it anymore and hurried away, leaving Chi Weiyang totally confused . Chi Weiyang could do nothing but stamp on her feet angrily .

A car stopped in front of Xia Xingchen when she rushed out the Foreign Ministry building . Xia Xingchen had seen the driver before, who was Bai Yeqing’s trusted subordinate, so she got into the car .

Xia Xingchen felt a heavy atmosphere all the way . She didn’t say a word, but the driver’s expression told her that Bai Yeqing was seriously injured . It was beyond Xia Xingchen’s expectation that the driver took her to a more remote area instead of the presidential residence .

After driving through countless security posts, a small house appeared in her sight . However, in such a quiet and remote place, it was especially conspicuous .

As soon as the car stopped, Leng Fei came out and greeted her personally .

Leng Fei’s expression was also quite unpleasant . At once she saw his expression, Xia Xingchen knew there must something wrong with Bai Yeqing .

“How is he?”

“Come in and you’ll know it . ”

Xia Xingchen knew Leng Fei depressed and then didn’t ask about the condition anymore . At last, she asked: “What can I do for you now?”

Leng Fei answered her with another question: “Miss Xia, can you cook?”

“Of course . ”

“Could you deal well with trifling matters of everyday life, such as laundry?”

“Yes . ” She wouldn’t have known them, but after Dabai was born, she learned the skills gradually .

But…

Why did Leng Fei ask her these irrelevant questions?

“If so, please take care of Mr . President these days . Now the political situation remains turbulent and both domestic and foreign cast covetous eyes on him, therefore, Mr . President’s injury should be held back . Because there are no servants, I could only ask you for help . Miss Xia, I hope you can understand and help us . ”
