As the leader of the Gold Word Workshop, with dozens of cultivators and hundreds of Innates under his command, Xu Ning was naturally well-informed.
No sooner had Chen Dengming set foot in Boss Hu's shop than he received a prompt report from his subordinates.
He had known two days ago that Chen Dengming had completed the task assigned by Miss Luo, and he had also found out that Xu Wei was to stay at the Luo Mansion, serving as a tea-serving maid for the young lady.
The implications were clear.
A smart man, Xu Ning put his petty thoughts and greed aside for the moment. He ordered a premium meal prepared in advance, waiting for Chen Dengming's visit.
When the two met, the obligatory small talk and pleasantries were certainly not skipped.
Throughout the feast, Xu Ning's words were probing, while Chen Dengming was cautious, leaving room to maneuver.
Neither of them was a novice.
The art of conversation for old foxes is all about social manners and grace.
