Tom gaped at the picture.
He held his mobile phone, took a glance at Lin Shu, then at the photo.
Then he looked hesitantly at Lin Shu again.

"You...are you serious?"

Tom was shocked to find that Lin Shu had already gotten close to the dean.
Like a puppet, he mechanically handed the mobile phone back to Lin Shu.
"I knew he's recently gotten into tea, so I've prepared a set of high-quality tea ware to give to him."
"Didn't know that, did you? He picked up his tea hobby from me."
Tom stood up, deeply bowing.
"I concede defeat."
If Lin Shu was willing to help, their plan could get underway sooner.
"Are you willing to help us?"
"The reason I wanted to see you was to discuss that, okay?"
Having received Lin Shu's firm assurance, Tom couldn't express his delight, so elated that he wouldn't sit down.
"Then let's discuss the specifics."
Tom looked around once again, ensuring nobody was eavesdropping.
