Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang's words, Qian Jin also felt somewhat embarrassed. Initially, he had called Cao Zhuangzhi over with good intentions, hoping that through the influence of Cao Yangming, and with Cao Zhuangzhi's intervention, the leaders of each department in the Autonomous Region would give them some face. However, Qian Jin had not anticipated that the father and son of the Cao family were in cahoots. Cao Yangming looked down on Nie Zhenbang and consequently, so did the young Cao Zhuangzhi. They didn't help at all but instead caused more harm.
Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Qian Jin lowered his head and said, "Brother..."
Before Qian Jin could continue speaking, Nie Zhenbang again waved his hand, smiling, "Money-lover, when did you become so long-winded. This clearly isn't targeted at you. You just happened to be in the crossfire. That's enough. Don't concern yourself with this matter anymore. I'll take care of it myself."
