Li Yifei returned to the Security Department. Unlike other departments in the company, the people here weren't as tense, and everyone was chatting and laughing. Meng Lei, however, was keeping a straight face, clad in his brand-new security uniform, standing upright to one side.
When they saw Li Yifei come in, everyone greeted him. Li Yifei took out a pack of cigarettes, gave one to each person, and finally handed one to Meng Lei as well, saying with a smile, "Little Lei, you don't have to be so tense. We in the Security Department are all brothers."
"Manager Li, do you know Meng Lei?" One of the security guards, quick on the uptake, heard the underlying meaning in the single sentence exchange between Li Yifei and Meng Lei.
Li Yifei laughed, "Of course I know him. He's my cousin. How could I not recognize him?"
"Ah! So he's Manager Li's cousin. Little Lei, you should've said something earlier, making us the butt of the joke."
