She hurriedly pushed Mai Xiaomai into her office.
Tan Xianmei was in the office and stood up when she saw her, examining her from top to bottom before greeting her, "Sister Mai, you came to work?"
"Yeah, you've been working hard."
Mai Xiaomai nodded.
"It's not hard; there weren't any major issues this month, so I've been rather idle."
Tan Xianmei responded indifferently, her face devoid of complacency or any sign of complaining.
