The Secretary-General visited more frequently than Ren Jiawei, and this time, Ren Jiawei had made a point of bringing him along.

He had thought that getting the book from Bai Lian would be a matter of a simple request.

The Secretary-General, used to currying favor and bullying those below him, spared the Ji Family a glance only because of Ren Qian's high regard.

Yet, he hadn't expected Bai Lian, whom he had dismissed, to not give him the slightest amount of face.

At this moment, the smile froze on his lips.
