Ren Tingxi pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and looked serious. He filled his glass and drank it all again.
"Yeah, it's me." The tone was light and cold, without any joy or excitement, but seemed to add a little sadness.
Lan Tian gave Ren Tingxi a thumbs-up and said, "The construction of that section of highway solved the problem of Jinzhou's years of isolation from the outside world. Once it's open to traffic, it will solve the livelihood problems of thousands of impoverished families in Jinzhou."
