After leaving Luxiang Restaurant, Yun Chi and Hua Yan were just about to board the carriage under an umbrella when Prime Minister Zhao and several officials emerged from Xiangyun Workshop. Upon seeing Yun Chi and Hua Yan, they hurriedly came forward to pay their respects.
Aside from Prime Minister Zhao, who was sheltered by someone else's umbrella, the rest faced the rain to greet Yun Chi, not holding umbrellas themselves.
Yun Chi looked at Prime Minister Zhao and the others with a cool gaze, noting that Prime Minister Zhao held a high position, while the rest had relatively low-ranking offices. He smiled faintly, "Prime Minister and gentlemen, you may dispense with the formalities. To encounter each other in such heavy rain is quite a coincidence."
