They are quite powerful, and since they introduced themselves and greeted us respectfully, we should give them the respect they deserve.

Jiang Hetang understood the principle that having more friends meant having more options.

He didn't think Chen Shiqing was trying to get close to him.

It's likely that the one who really wants to get close is Lu Fan behind him.

It's just that it's not easy to start a conversation, so I started with myself.

It must be said that Chen Shiqing's almost-perfect routine was quite skillful.

"Since President Jiang likes this purple clay teapot, then consider this teapot my gift to you!"

As he spoke, Chen Shiqing took the packaged teapot from the sales assistant.

He then waved to dismiss the sales assistant.

Working in a place like this requires a certain level of shrewdness.

Seeing Chen Shiqing wave, the sales assistant wisely left.

"Mr. Chen, there's no need for that. It's too much of a gift for our first meeting. I'm afraid I shouldn't accept such an expensive present!"

Jiang Hetang smiled meaningfully.

"President Jiang, the gift is not very valuable. It is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will not find it offensive!"

Chen Shiqing bowed slightly and handed the bag in his hands to Jiang Hetang.

"Dad, since it's Mr. Chen's kind gesture, please accept it!"

When Lu Fan saw his father-in-law looking at him, he smiled and said...

They're all shrewd people; some things don't necessarily need to be explained so thoroughly.

Jiang Hetang is now retired and enjoying his family life. It's obvious why we're giving him a gift at this time.

"Alright, then I'll gladly accept your offer!"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Chen!"

Seeing that Lu Fan had already spoken, Jiang Hetang continued to decline.

That really does seem a bit disrespectful!
