Su Wensong very considerately pulled out the seat next to Li Jian for Lin Chuxia.
Director Feng Kaiwei, having been called out, couldn't keep pretending alongside Director Liu, so he smiled, nodded, and said, "Mr. Lin, you're too kind."
Lin Chuxia took the seat without hesitation, and only then did she ask Li Jian, "And who might this gentleman across from us be…?"
Liu Guoyi's expression remained indifferent, his piercing gaze scrutinizing the woman in front of him who showed no fear in meeting his eyes.
From the few small actions of the woman as she entered, he received a very bad signal: this woman was not going to be easy to handle.
A mere individual business owner, showing up late to a dinner where everyone else held higher status than her.
Not only was she late, but she only started speaking to him after taking her seat opposite him; was she trying to tell him that they were equals?
