Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Li Dawei got along very well with his seniors in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as though they had never rejected him.

Such a scheming scumbag used him as a stepping stone. Li Dawei would definitely receive retribution in the future.

Xu Xinming resented Li Dawei. If Li Dawei had reminded him while he worked hard himself and pulled him along, then he would not have been cast into such a corner now. It was bad enough that none of his colleagues was on speaking terms with him. Worse still, the only ones who even appeared were worms.

When summer came, the only ones appearing in his working area to add some life would be some flies and mosquitoes.

“Sister Qiao, this is what I’ve just completed. Please check through it and let me know directly if there are any problems. I’ll get it through myself.” Li Dawei was much more restrained in front of Qiao Nan now. In the past, he had called Qiao Nan directly by her name. Now, he switched to calling her ‘Sister Qiao’.

In the past, after asking Qiao Nan to look for his mistakes, he would still get her to correct them. Now, the difference was that the only thing he asked of Qiao Nan was for her to let him know if she found any problems with anything that he had done. As for the specifics and details of the problem and how it should be solved, Li Dawei no longer tested Qiao Nan’s limited patience and instead learned to complete it himself. “Sister Qiao, I hope you don’t think I’m being bothersome. This isn’t our mother tongue after all. But of course, I might not have mastered my mother tongue either.”

Was it not normal that his standard of foreign languages was a little poor given that he had not even mastered his own mother tongue?

Li Dawei’s words were much nicer than before, and his attitude had improved. Naturally, Qiao Nan could not continue to put him down by making things difficult for him. “There’s no serious problem, and the small ones aren’t very important. At most, the content is a little rough.”

But compared with his string of mistakes that he made repeatedly in the past, the way Li Dawei handled this document had already improved significantly.

“Thank you, Sister Qiao!” Li Dawei smiled in relief. Now that Qiao Nan had said that, he could finally rest assured. “By the way, this is for you, Sister Qiao.”

Seeing the envelope that Li Dawei put on her desk, Qiao Nan raised her eyebrow before picking it up. In broad daylight, Qiao Nan was not at all worried that there was anything valuable in the envelope. And by the looks of its thickness, it did not seem as though there was anything valuable in it. Li Dawei did not have that courage anyway. “It’s red. Is it a wedding invitation?” In old-fashioned terms, it was a ‘red bomb’.

“That’s right.” Li Dawei closed his mouth and smiled widely like a young lady. “I’m getting married.”

“1st January and New Year’s Day have all passed. What other good dates are there to get married?”

“None. My wedding date has been set for next year. It’s my first time being a groom and I’m very excited, so I’ve decided to prepare the wedding invitations for our department in advance. I was thinking that since I already prepared it, I might as well just give it out sooner rather than later in case everyone gets busy preparing for the new year and cannot take time out to attend it.”

Because he had given out the wedding invitations so early, everyone would be able to arrange their schedules ahead of time to attend his wedding.

“All right. I’ll congratulate you here in advance.” Qiao Nan received Li Dawei’s invitation. After Xu Xinming had been transferred out, Li Dawei was the only remaining one of the Xu-Li team. Perhaps because he needed two to clap, or because he was no longer under the influence of Xu Xinming, but Li Dawei had actually become normal.

No matter what, at least everyone in the department no longer held so much resentment and dissatisfaction toward Li Dawei as compared to when he had just entered the department. Like now, when he handed out the wedding invitations to his colleagues, some of them not only received the invitations nicely like Qiao Nan, but they also gave him kind words of blessings.

Seeing this situation, Li Dawei was not particularly disappointed. Based on his tense relationships with his colleagues in the past, he had expected worse situations. In comparison to what he had expected, this was much better.

Faced with such a result, Li Dawei quietly let out a breath of relief. He had finally finished something that his family had tasked him with. But unfortunately, it was quite certain that Qiao Nan was going to be in charge.

If he were to have a bad relationship with Qiao Nan, he believed that it would not be long before he would be sent to join Xu Xinming. Thinking about that dark and cold place where Xu Xinming was, and how he had been mocked and ignored by others after he had been transferred out, Li Dawei shivered in fear.

He would never let Xu Xinming be his best man. He had to find his place in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He had already changed for the better and would not go back to how he had been in the past when he used to be a smart aleck. He hoped that Qiao Nan would let him off and not make life difficult for him now that she saw that he was willing to change for the better.

There was no way for him not to humble himself knowing the situation he was in.

Xu Xinming’s departure was a clear warning for Li Dawei and a constant reminder not to make the same mistakes that Xu Xinming had. Otherwise, he knew the dire consequences and how shameful it would be.

“Sister Qiao?” When He Yi heard how Li Dawei addressed Qiao Nan, he felt strangely fresh. “Oh, you’re now an older sister? From what I remember, you’re a year younger than Li Dawei. Is it all right for him to address you in that way?” If other people were to hear it, they might talk about her behind her back.

“No.” Qiao Nan rolled her eyes. “I’ve said a hundred times not to call me older sister. It’s probably more appropriate for me to call him elder brother, but he insists on calling me older sister. I can’t do anything about it. The only thing I can do is to return it by calling him elder brother sometimes.” And even so, Qiao Nan felt as though she suffered a great loss.

Why did she have to call him elder brother just because he voluntarily called her his sister?

She did not even want to call him elder brother!

He Yi laughed uncontrollably. “There, there. Don’t be angry. Since he’s older, it’s still fine for you to call him elder brother. I admit that he’s only older than you in age. In every other aspect, he’s less than you. The only problem is that this only advantage of Li Dawei is enough. As for the others, he doesn’t need them.”

Qiao Nan snorted but did not rebuke him. “Li Dawei is getting married on the 26th of February. Are you going?” There was still a month to go. If they wanted to, it was still possible to take some time out for it. Li Dawei had informed everyone early, so few people refused to attend his wedding.

“I’ll go.” He Yi did not have anything against Li Dawei. “At least in front of me, he’s changed for the better. When I retire and you take over, it’ll be on you to see what kind of performance he has.” That would be beyond his control.
