Chen Yongnian was very respectful and seemed somewhat distant from Fang Ziming, not as casual as he used to be.
Fang Ziming glanced at it, then quickened his pace and said, "I heard from Xue'er that Qiqi's restaurant has opened in Yunhe County. It's a pity I was too busy that day to go and offer my congratulations."
"Sir, you prioritize official duties and are acting in the best interests of the people of the county. How could we possibly find fault with you?" Chen Yongnian's reply was very official.
Fang Ziming also sensed the distance in Chen Yongnian's words, so he stopped and turned to look at Chen Yongnian, saying, "I am the magistrate of Yunhe County. Many times and many things are not as I wish to do."
