She was a minor leader in the Materials Bureau, and naturally carried a certain authority. Her shout silenced everyone.
Neither Qiu Chunfang nor Li Hongjuan expected her to run out, and their fake smiles instantly froze.
Wang Dasao, who was following behind Hu Chunxiao, was panting heavily and said loudly.
