Assistant Wang nodded. He told the deputy chairman that they were not hiring Mi Wei. Instead, they would be working together as partners.
The deputy chairman frowned. "A partnership with a Chinese herb farmer? What is the chairman thinking? If word got out, what would people think of the association?"
Assistant Wang lowered his eyes. "If the man is capable of producing rare herbs, I think it is fine for us to work as partners instead."
The deputy chairman glanced sideways at the assistant. "Is he the only person who knows how to do it?"
How could Chairman Wang do this? It was as good as lowering himself.
Assistant Wang said nothing.
The deputy chairman waved his hand. "Fine. You may leave."
Assistant Wang nodded and walked to the lift entrance quickly.
It felt stifling talking to the deputy chairman.
