Appearing all too ready to listen, Xu Weilai urged, "Assistant Lin, you know that I've been covering the news all these years. I really know nuts about corporate politics. Why don't you...explain it clearly to me and give me some pointers?"
"..." Assistant Lin was momentarily at a loss for words.
Xu Weilai had always been smart and while she had never worked in a corporate setting, she was a media personality and thus, was neither silly nor dreamy. Assistant Lin never expected Xu Weilai to be so direct with him about her lack of knowledge about the politics in the company.
When Xu Weilai noticed his reticence, reached over and grabbed hold of his arm to pull him back into the pantry. After settling him down on the chair, she quickly poured a glass of water and placed it down in front of him.
