He spoke in a very formulaic manner, but his demeanor was quite peaceful, which prevented anyone from feeling the slightest bit of resentment or dissatisfaction.
"President Fan!"
Noticing that Fan Lingjue appeared to be somewhat absent-minded, Zhou Hui at his side gave him a soft reminder...
Only then did Fan Lingjue snap back to reality, moving his gaze away from Shu Yimo's face to rest it upon her outstretched hand. After quite a while, he slowly extended his own hand and gently clasped her cool, delicate hand, feeling almost no warmth.
"Thank you, Yimo..."
He said these few words in a hushed tone.
Shu Yimo listened, yet a trace of irony quickly passed through her eyes. She spoke indifferently, "There's no need to thank me. Thank our President Long. He thinks highly of Huading, and you, President Fan, are wise enough to understand the times—a trait of the truly capable. I also admire your decisiveness."
