Chapter 17 Su Yuan's whereabouts, is my elder brother coming back? Brother's exceptional promotion, a Colonel's rank?
Although it really looked like him, even could be said to be identical, as if molded from the same mold.
But at this moment, Ye Wenqin knew better than anyone else what level of meeting was being broadcast on television.
A high-level meeting involving deep cooperation between two countries, those who could attend, besides a small number of special talents, the rest were all figures standing at the peak of both countries.
For such a crucial meeting, even after considering countless possibilities, she didn't think her son, Su Yuan, was qualified to appear in that meeting room.
Therefore, even if he looked exactly like him, she was actually unwilling to believe it in her heart.
In fact, she hadn't even considered such a possibility.
How could it be possible?
She thought she knew her son better than anyone.
Four years ago, he was a spoiled brat who could drive the whole family crazy. Even though he seemed to have changed a lot in the past four years, to say that he could be outstanding enough to appear at this level of meeting.
To be honest, she wouldn't dare to dream about it.
She would be crazy if she did.
"What do you mean 'is it me'?"
Su Yuan was having a low conversation with the old man about his future plans to stay and develop in China, and also discussed some issues related to the Mo Xiong side.
At this moment, he didn't notice the news on television, and looked up. Feeling that there was no problem, he subconsciously nodded, "Hmm, it's me."
After Su Yuan finished his response, he was stunned.
Damn it! Damn it!
Su Yuan was completely dumbfounded, he hadn't expected the news from a few days ago to be rebroadcast, and the key was that Ye Wenqin had seen it.
And he had foolishly admitted it.
How could he explain this now?
Su Yuan quickly turned to look at the old man, who was looking up at the ceiling, not sure if he was looking for a fly or a mosquito, anyway, he didn't mean to pay any attention to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was distraught.
He had just come up with an excuse to get away with it, how could he explain this time?
Su Yuan was at a loss, but Ye Wenqin didn't know, she was speechless, her mouth wide open in disbelief.
Are you kidding me?
Is this really my son?
Ye Wenqin turned to look at the television, then looked at Su Yuan. There was no doubt, it was her son, they were molded from the same mold, without a single difference.
But how could she not believe it?
"What's going on?"
Ye Wenqin felt like her brain was short-circuiting.
Su Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I planned to tell you later, but now that you know..."
"Actually, I was the exclusive interpreter for the Mo Xiong delegation, for the Mo Xiong leader, so I was able to be present at that meeting."
"Cough..."
Ye Wenqin coughed a few times, choking on her own saliva.
Looking at Su Yuan sitting on the sofa, looking serious, she had a look of astonishment.
"You... are the exclusive interpreter for the Mo Xiong Emperor?"
Ye Wenqin blinked, "I've always thought you've grown up in the past four years, you're completely different from four years ago, that air of a spoiled brat has completely disappeared."
"I know you've changed, and you've become sensible, but how did you suddenly become so outstanding?"
And it's not just outstanding, this... can be considered a prodigy.
Being able to serve as the exclusive interpreter for the Mo Xiong leader, can ordinary people do that?
Let alone the exclusive interpreter for a national leader, even her company was extremely demanding when hiring a translator.
Level eight in foreign language was considered the minimum requirement, just a chance to enter the interview.
To be hired, it was one out of a thousand people who could make it to the end.
Let alone, the exclusive interpreter for a national leader.
Compared to the requirements of her company for hiring translators, the requirements were directly increased by a hundredfold.
Moreover, it was not just professional skills, but more importantly, the ability to remain calm and collected in the face of big occasions and a group of bigwigs.
How many people in the world could possess these abilities at the same time?
It can be said that being able to serve as the exclusive interpreter for a national leader is almost like standing at the peak of this profession, looking down upon everyone else.
Ye Wenqin was astonished, it was too fast.
Could four years really transform a person to such an outstanding level?
Although, this person was her son.
Ye Wenqin still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, it felt unreal, like a dream.
Has her son become so outstanding in four years?
From a spoiled brat, he became the exclusive interpreter for the Mo Xiong leader?
It just didn't feel real.
Su Yuan, in her impression, had always been the spoiled brat who was not yet grown up and loved to eat, drink, and have fun with his group of friends four years ago.
But now, it seems like he has grown up overnight.
He has become so different that even his own mother doesn't recognize him.
"How did this happen?"
"Xiao Yuan, how did you become the exclusive interpreter for that person?"
Even though she had regained her senses, Ye Wenqin was still a little confused.
Su Yuan smiled bitterly.
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
The most crucial thing was that when his true identity was exposed, he would have to explain it again, which was the most frustrating part.
"It was a coincidence!"
Su Yuan shrugged, his heart filled with bitter laughter.
Again, the word 'coincidence', he didn't know how many times he had used it these past few days.
"What's going on, don't beat around the bush with me."
Ye Wenqin was now somewhat disbelieving.
She finally understood why the old man suddenly liked Su Yuan so much.
Her grandson, from the spoiled brat he once was, has suddenly become the exclusive interpreter for the Mo Xiong leader, this transformation of identity was enough to make the old man ecstatic.
This was more pleasing to the old man than Su Yuan entering the company and taking over the family business.
However, it was obvious that Su Yuan's explanation didn't satisfy Ye Wenqin.
"Why didn't you say it before?"
Facing her angry mother, Su Yuan could only shrink his head and said with a forced smile, "It's not that I didn't say it, but this kind of thing should be kept confidential."
Ye Wenqin opened her mouth, but the harsh words that were about to come out of her mouth were forcibly swallowed back down.
At this moment, she realized.
Yes!
The exclusive interpreter for the Mo Xiong leader, it sounds like just a translator, but he is also a formal Mo Xiong official, and Su Yuan is a person from Xia, so this kind of thing is confidential and is not allowed to be disclosed.
It's fine if the old man knows.
He is a high-ranking military officer in Xia, even if he is retired, it doesn't change his status in Xia.
Ye Wenqin was different, she was not a member of the Xia government, this kind of thing should be kept confidential from her, and she was not allowed to know about it.
In a way, Su Yuan was already breaking the rules by telling her these things.
"So... you're breaking the rules by telling me this?"
"Are you going to be..."
Ye Wenqin gritted her teeth, a trace of worry appeared on her face.
Leaking secrets, in any country, is no small matter.
The lightest punishment would be dismissal from office, while the heaviest would be imprisonment or even the death penalty.
Seeing her mother's worried look, Su Yuan quickly reassured her, "There's no big problem, interpreters like me, we often appear on screen, it's only a matter of time before we are exposed."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Ye Wenqin sighed in relief, but even though Su Yuan said there was no problem, she still regretted it. She knew that her son attending such a high-level meeting was an extremely incredible thing, yet she had to get to the bottom of it.
Sometimes, it's better to turn a blind eye than to know.
However, her son was able to become the exclusive interpreter for that person, although Ye Wenqin didn't say anything out loud, but she was extremely happy in her heart.
She knew what it meant.
It meant that her younger son was not so useless, he was not a spoiled brat.
He was a genius, a prodigy in this field.
She was proud of him.
Ye Wenqin left with a sweet smile, leaving more time for the grandfather and grandson to interact.
She didn't want to participate in these national affairs, and it was better if she knew less.
At the same time, she picked up her phone and called her husband, Su Hai.
She couldn't wait to share this news with her husband.
However, after calling, it was still not reachable.
She couldn't find Su Hai to share this good news, and she couldn't share it with anyone else, so Ye Wenqin was a little bit depressed.
But soon, this depression was completely washed away by the intense joy Su Yuan had brought her.
Although, Su Yuan still didn't return to China to take over the family business as she had hoped.
But being able to serve as the exclusive interpreter for that leader, it was something that many people could only dream of.
Moreover, Ye Wenqin believed that through this position's training, her younger son, Su Yuan, would be able to take over the family business even better in the future.
...
The whole family was happy and harmonious.
At this moment.
Xi Nan Military District.
A certain special forces unit.
The night grew deeper.
Inside the military tents, snores were continuous, rising and falling.
Jungle combat missions, especially at night, are extremely dangerous for any special forces unit.
Every special forces soldier was extremely tired, falling asleep as soon as they hit the ground.
However, there were still two people on duty.
Outside the tent, the fire was burning brightly.
This fire was not only for warmth, but more importantly, to dispel or be able to timely detect wild animals that came out to search for food at night.
Don't think that wild animals are afraid of people. Wrong, those wild animals that can survive in such a harsh environment, their wildness and ferocity are deeply ingrained in their bones.
For a special forces unit that was conducting military exercises, only with blank rounds, the threat of wild animals at night was greater than facing another special forces unit.
The jungle at night was a paradise for wild animals.
They were too familiar with everything here.
Hunting, they had the natural geographical advantage.
In addition, at night, there was no visual impact for wild animals, but even if the special forces had thermal imaging devices, they still couldn't do much in the face of a group of beasts.
Therefore, fire and duty were the best ways to ensure safety.
In the dead of night, Er Niu stumbled out of the tent.
Seeing the young man still sitting by the fire, he was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Deputy Captain, why haven't you gone to rest yet? Shouldn't it be time for us to change shifts?"
"You guys were pretty tired during the day, I'll stand here a bit longer."
Su Ming smiled, he was still in good spirits, if he really wanted to sleep, he would have asked someone else to come and change shifts a long time ago.
Hearing this, Er Niu didn't think much of it, he went to relieve himself, then sat down in front of the fire.
"Deputy Captain, this time we've made a big contribution, I heard that you're going to be promoted last time, it should be no problem this time, right?"
Er Niu took a sip of water, looking seriously at Su Ming.
Su Ming was slightly surprised.
There were indeed rumors that he was going to be promoted, but it wasn't common knowledge, right?
But Er Niu knew, which was something he didn't expect.
You know, Er Niu was a bit of a simpleton in the squad, he rarely paid attention to this kind of thing.
Unexpectedly, even he knew about it this time.
"How did you know?" Su Ming chuckled.
Er Niu scratched the back of his head and replied, "This has been circulating for a long time, I don't mind if others aren't promoted, but Deputy Captain, if you don't get promoted, I think it would be unfair. And this time you've made a big contribution, when we get back, the position of Captain is yours."
Su Ming smiled noncommittally, not saying anything.
Er Niu didn't mention it again, but changed the topic, "Deputy Captain, I'm going to take a break and go home after this mission, something happened at home."
"What's wrong?"
"My younger brother graduated from high school, he didn't get into any good universities, he's a bit of a failure, but as an older brother, I have to go back and see him." Er Niu explained.
"You should go back and see him."
Su Ming smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I also have a useless younger brother."
Er Niu didn't reply, but looked at Su Ming.
Er Niu knew a little about Su Ming's brother, a typical spoiled brat.
Although his brother was a bit of a failure, at least he was obedient.
Su Ming's brother was different, his name was practically legendary in their squad.
"I know."
Su Ming said to himself, "He went to Mo Xiong for four years, he should have graduated this year. Before I went on this mission, my mom mentioned it, Xiao Yuan is coming back to China soon. To be honest, I get a headache just thinking about him coming back."
Er Niu smiled awkwardly, to be honest, if he had a spoiled brat brother like that, he would get a headache too.
"Four years ago, my mom went against everyone's opinion and sent him to study abroad in Mo Xiong. I just thought that even though the old man is a bit domineering sometimes, to be honest, I would have agreed with him sending Xiao Yuan to the army for training."
"That guy needs to suffer some hardships in the army, to change his bad temper."
Mentioning Su Yuan, Su Ming also had a look of disappointment on his face.
Er Niu listened attentively, and replied, "Deputy Captain, although you're doing this for his own good, I think you don't need to be so demanding of your brother, after all, not everyone is as self-disciplined and outstanding as you."
"Tsk tsk, a thirty-year-old Colonel and regiment commander, captain of the Langya Special Forces Brigade, if you tell this to others, it'll shock them."
Mentioning Su Ming's achievements, Er Niu was proud, after all, this was his Deputy Captain.
"Deputy Captain, you should also go home after this mission, right?" Er Niu asked.
"Hmm, I have that plan."
His brother is back from studying abroad, he has to go back and see him.
It's a good time to go back after the mission, otherwise, I won't have time next time.
Er Niu chuckled, "Deputy Captain, when you go back, the two brothers should have a good chat, I believe that with the Captain's personal charm, you will definitely be able to inspire your brother to fight."
"If it was as magical as you said, Xiao Yuan wouldn't have become a spoiled brat in other people's mouths."
As for Su Yuan, Su Ming's impression of him was still from four years ago.
That troublesome brother who wasn't very successful.
"I hope these four years of studying abroad have changed him, otherwise... the old man won't spare him."
Su Ming shook his head and sighed, "What a troublesome kid!"
