Many colleagues joined the mountain climbing trip, and the group set off in high spirits, fully prepared.
Su Yiran was among the team, silently trailing behind as Jiang Xi was surrounded like a star amidst the crowd.
Someone asked Jiang Xi, "Secretary Jiang, is President Rong not participating in the training?"
It was then that Jiang Xi realized Rong Nian hadn't drawn lots earlier. She smiled and said, "President Rong has a lot on his plate. The fact that he can come and stay at the resort is a blessing for us."
"Yeah right, you sycophant," someone jokingly chided from the side.
Jiang Xi saw that there was no ill intent and laughed along with everyone, "Clothes may wear out, but flattery will always fit."
Seeing her so approachable, unlike her aloof demeanor in the office, they felt closer to her.
The group chatted and joked as they made their way into the mountains.
Jiang Xi carried a small backpack with a water bottle and sunscreen spray inside.
