Putting Efforts to Waste

"Being good with words is the nature of my job, Mrs. Tan. Isn't it the same for your husband as well? How did he manage to become prime minister if he is not good with words?"

Gu Nianzhi had never thought that being able to keep silent was a virtue. In her opinion, if there was something she was not happy about something someone said to her, she should retort immediately. If she was in a good mood that day, she would say more. No matter what, she would not be on the losing end.

Cai Songyin, however, saw red. She was about to say something along the lines of "how do you think you are comparable to Prime Minister Tan?!" However, Huo Shaoheng was already looking in their direction. Bowing slightly, with a slight hint of warning in his eyes, he said calmly, "Mrs. Tan, please do not think that everyone should be respectful towards you just because you are older."
