Cui Yi nodded: "I know about this, otherwise I wouldn't have delayed asking you about the project for so many days. It's because I think it will take time for President Lu to help stall Cui Yue."
"But later I realized that all it took to stall Cui Yue was one word from Lu Zheng, and Cui Yue wouldn't dare disobey. That's when I realized that he was deliberately stalling for time."

Qiao Zhen silently agreed. Before making the call, she had been thinking about how to tell her mother about Lu Zheng.
