“Alright, I will stop here regarding business matters. I’ll leave the specific details to be discussed at the summit table. Of course, aside from this matter, I still have a personal matter to discuss.”
Yi Lingjun smiled faintly. “It’s regarding my daughter.”
Everyone was astonished.
Although President Yi never married and no one heard anything about him having a relationship with any woman, there was always a rumor that Yi Lingjun had a precious daughter.
Nobody took this rumor seriously, naturally, since a rumor was merely a rumor.
Yin Yuerong looked at Yi Lingjun and said, “There was always word on the street that you had a daughter, President Yi, but I never expected it to be true…”
After all, Yi Lingjun never married, so no one dared to go to Yi Lingjun and personally inquire about this kind of rumor. If it was false, wasn’t it the same as slapping a label on the President of the Arbitration Council for no reason…?
Si Yehan turned pensive. During his visit with Yi Lingjun, Yi Lingjun mentioned some details about his daughter of his own volition.
As for Ye Wanwan, there wasn’t any emotion on her face, but judgment filled her internally.
If Yi Lingjun hadn’t released this kind of information himself, who could’ve uncovered his private matters?
“Heh.” Yi Lingjun smiled. “I sent my daughter overseas when she was young, so she grew up and gained some accomplishments abroad. However, we previously had a small conflict and didn’t contact each other for many years. Now that our conflict has resolved, we can finally meet again.”
“After all, my daughter can’t be far from me and missed me every second when she was thousands of miles away. As her father, I naturally also hope my daughter can return to her homeland and visit me often.”
Ye Wanwan: “…” This old devil’s bullsh*ting skills were seriously something.
“So what you’re saying, President Yi…”
A higher-up turned contemplative. There might not appear to be much to President Yi’s words and it was just trivial small talk on the surface, but that wasn’t true.
His main point was that he attached great importance to his daughter, and his daughter was accomplished and capable.
Praising his own daughter at an occasion like this and allowing his daughter to make an appearance in such a ceremonious fashion… Could it be that he wanted to let his daughter enter the Arbitration Council and become powerful…?
Vice President Qin’s expression turned rather bad.
In the Arbitration Council, Yi Lingjun was undoubtedly the head and represented absolute power while he was the deputy. Vice President Qin was only below one person and above millions. If Yi Lingjun stepped down, he would get the opportunity to become the president.
Now though, Yi Lingjun suddenly called his daughter back from abroad and said something like this. Even an idiot could tell that Yi Lingjun wanted to emphatically train his daughter. Could it be that he wanted to allow his daughter to ascend to his position in the future?
Although every president was elected by the higher-ups, if Yi Lingjun was willing, it was entirely possible for him to push his daughter to be elected as the next president with his methods and prestige.
After a moment of contemplation, Vice President Qin’s expression returned to normal.
This was merely his own conjecture and might not be the truth. It was also possible President Yi merely wanted to announce he had a daughter.
Qin Xiyuan looked at Yi Lingjun and quickly asked, “Sir President actually has a daughter…? Then may I ask where is Sister? Is she attending tonight’s banquet?”
She must pay attention to President Yi’s daughter and befriend her.
