Mr. Lu lazily raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ci. "Ms. Jiang, are you questioning me?"
Jiang Ci's smile remained unchanged. "I wouldn't dare. I'm just a lowly civil servant in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, I was the one who negotiated the tea and porcelain orders, so I think... I should be qualified to ask about the logistics, right?"
