The Cheng Family lived in a narrow alley.
Li Qiao, pushing her bike, found it inconvenient to enter and stood at the entrance of the alley. She waited for Qin Jin to escort someone in before returning to take the bicycle from her. "Did the Cheng Family ask you why your colleague's face was so red and swollen?" she asked.
"They did, and I told them he fell while going to the bathroom," he replied.
Li Qiao couldn't help but chuckle. He sure had a lot of excuses. She hinted, "Your colleague doesn't seem to handle things well, does he? How's your relationship with him?"
Qin Jin's gaze darkened, "Not close." If it hadn't been for Counselor Xiang and Qi Yuanbin being there, he would have taught the guy a lesson long ago. "He called me a lackey, don't you believe it," he clarified. He was just buttering up the leaders a bit.
It's just about treating them to meals frequently, just a little networking.
Could that be called being a lackey?
At most it's just trying to curry favor.
