He glanced coldly at the courtyard behind him, but his voice was incongruously respectful as he indicated Ren Qian undervalued himself, "You've really lowered yourself for them, but once you're not present, that entire Ji Family doesn't even pretend..."
The Secretary-General was accustomed to giving orders.
