Suizi and Yu Jingting stepped in, and Mr. Shen stood up from his chair.
"Director Xiaochen, I've been looking forward to your arrival. It's been a while, I've missed you."
His greaseball attitude made Suizi feel uncomfortable all over.
"Yes, it's been some days. Just yesterday, while talking with my husband, I said I hoped for happiness for your entire family, for fatherly benevolence, filial piety, and good health." Suizi responded with equal sarcasm.
Both sides shook hands, their laughter fostering an atmosphere of friendliness.
But what they were jabbering at each other internally after ending the handshake was anyone's guess.
Mr. Shen played the part of a warm host, babbling a whole lot of irrelevant nonsense before getting to the point.
"My daughter is still young and naive, lacks tact, and has caused you trouble. I plan to transfer her, let her gain some more seasoning in another environment. We should not let this sour the relationship between our two families."
