I have some thoughts about your work that I'd like to discuss with you. After all, work is more important, isn't it?

“This…” Yan Wu looked at Zhang Qi apologetically.

Zhang Qi smiled good-naturedly, "It's alright, Comrade Yan, go to Director Zhu's place first. After we finish talking, I, Zhang Qi, will treat Comrade Yan to dinner. You must do me the honor of joining us!"

"Of course." With that, Yan Wu followed Zhu Bin into his office.

As soon as he entered, Zhu Bin warmly invited him to sit down, "Comrade Yan, please sit down. Xiao Li, bring the tea. Make sure it's the best Da Hong Pao! We can't neglect our Comrade Yan."

"yes!"

Before long, the tea was served to Yan Wu.

Smelling the aroma of Da Hong Pao tea, Yan Wu exclaimed in admiration, "This aroma is extraordinary; it must be from the mother tree, right?"

"Hey! Comrade Yan, you're a real expert! You could tell just by smelling it. Most people would never even have heard of it! Quickly, taste this tea and see if it's authentic!"

Yan Wu picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then savored the taste. "Hmm, authentic Da Hong Pao. The leaves are tightly rolled, with a fresh and vibrant green-brown color. After brewing, the tea soup is bright orange-yellow, and the leaves are a mix of red and green."

Its most outstanding quality is its rich orchid fragrance, which is high and long-lasting, with a distinct "rocky" character – it's the right flavor.

But the flavor is also quite rich and complex; it must be quite old.

"Haha! You can even tell the difference from this? I have to give you a thumbs up! Comrade Yan, you're something else! This stuff is definitely many years old."

As you know, that's an extremely rare item; it's something I could never have gotten my hands on! It's a treasure passed down from my grandfather's generation.

He used to be quite capable, and by chance, he gritted his teeth and bought a pound of it. Back then, a pound of this stuff was worth 64 silver dollars, which was equivalent to 4,000 pounds of rice at the time.

"His family was making a huge fuss back then, but now it seems like he's really like this!" Zhu Bin gave a thumbs up.

Yan Wu smiled faintly and offered a few compliments, "Even we juniors have heard of Elder Zhu's charisma. How can you say he's 'somewhat capable'? Director Zhu, you're too modest."

Seeing that Yan Wu understood his hint, Zhu Bin sipped his tea with satisfaction.

Even if Yan Wu, a mere young man, has several powerful backers, what can he possibly accomplish at such a young age?

Once you're in his territory, even the most powerful outsider will have to be subservient to him!

Thinking of this, a smug look unconsciously appeared on Zhu Bin's face. He'd just give this kid a taste of his own medicine first, and deal with the rest later...

Yan Wu, sitting opposite him, glanced at him a few times while drinking tea. This Zhu Bin himself wasn't very capable, but he certainly had a good grandfather who had brought him a lot of convenience over the years.

In terms of ability, he is absolutely no match for Zhang Qi, but over the years he has been able to keep Zhang Qi firmly under his control, which is thanks to the Zhu family.

However, no matter how powerful the Zhu family was in the past, that was then. Now...

The new society naturally has its own rules; forming cliques and factions is no longer acceptable...

Thinking about it, Yan Wu put down his teacup. "Oh, right, I also have a letter that Old Liu wrote to you personally! I'll give it to Director Zhu now."

Zhu Bin's expression shifted a few times before he took the envelope, opened it, and began to read.

After reading it, Zhu Bin's expression clearly turned sour.

Yan Wu leisurely took another sip of tea. "Director Zhu, what do you think..."

Zhu Bin felt extremely distressed. This Yan Wu was really making a mountain out of a molehill, even taking Old Liu's letter with him!

Zhu Bin managed to squeeze out a few words, "Since Old Liu has given such instructions, I will certainly cooperate fully with your work..."
