"Director Chen, this is..."
Xia Lan sat opposite Chen Qing, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
“Here, I am Chen Qing, not Director Chen.”
Chen Qing smiled slightly at Xia Lan.
"I'm not the one who wants to see you. I'm just a messenger. He'll be here soon. Please wait a moment."
Chen Qing's words left Xia Lan even more confused.

Xia Lan poured Xiao Guoqiang a cup of tea and gently coaxed him.
"Hmph! You're right."
