Xu Rui glanced sideways at Xi Yan, who stood shoulder to shoulder with him. "Secretary Xi, it was you who talked the president into leaving, right? What did you say to him? How could he let us off just like that?"
"I spoke from the heart," Xi Yan replied with a twinkling smile, a touch of mystery to her expression.
"Does it have to do with Miss Qin?" Xu Rui had his suspicions but didn't dare to voice them. "Whenever it's about Miss Qin, the president always seems to lose control."
"The president has been single for so many years now, he should start dating too," Xi Yan said, her eyes brimming with mirth. Then she stepped away lightly, hoping that her catalytic words would take effect.
Xu Rui followed her, taking strides to keep up. "Secretary Xi, you have your fair share of suitors too, yet you never seem to take any of them seriously," he said.
