As footsteps resonated from the wooden stairs, Zhang Lin exchanged a significant glance with Peng Can. Sensing the need to leave, Peng Can tactfully stood up. "In that case, I'll head to the company first. Feel free to reach out if you have any further instructions."
As Peng Can approached the study's door on the second floor, he inadvertently collided with someone. Reacting swiftly, he offered a slight bow and greeted the individual respectfully, "Miss."
Weng Ling smiled and nodded. Peng Can turned around and went downstairs.
Zhang Lin rose from his seat and approached the scene, wearing a smile on his face. He inquired, "How is Elder Bai's new orchid doing?"
Weng Ling eagerly recounted her encounter with the jade orchids she had seen earlier in the afternoon. As she spoke, Zhang Lin's earlier somber expression vanished completely, replaced by a warm and joyful gaze. In that moment, he looked at Weng Ling with a genuine smile on his face.
