After the meeting, Pei Jinye followed Ms. Xu Jing back to her office.
After closing the door, Ms. Xu Jing gave Pei Jinye a disapproving look, "If the things you just said got out, I'm afraid those above might think you're not steady enough. But I'm not against you saying those things; I also can't stand some people acting like they are better simply because they are older."
Pei Jinye laughed, "Then why did you kick me?"
Ms. Xu Jing replied irritably, "Didn't you see how pale Li Qingming's face got from fright? I was worried you would scare him to death."
"If he's so weak that he steps up to provoke, does he think he's a Ninth Rank Extraordinary?" Pei Jinye sprawly sat on the chair.
Ms. Xu Jing was amused and shook her head, "Li Qingming has Lu Haoshan backing him, and Lu Haoshan is the vice captain at the base, with a very solid foundation here."
"So Captain Yang doesn't have any say here?" Pei Jinye was stunned, "No way, I thought he seemed pretty authoritative just now."
