Xu Musen had planned to leave after delivering the items.
But the most polite saying among Chinese is "Since you're already here, have a meal with us."
Zhao Lianmai's mother had always wanted to properly thank Xu Musen and had enthusiastically insisted that he stay.
Seeing that it was mealtime, Xu Musen gave up declining any further, deciding to stay and chat with Zhao Lianmai's mother, praising Zhao Lianmai's work performance thoroughly.
This made Zhao Lianmai's mother both happy and reassured.
"I should also thank you for giving her this opportunity. Our family now relies on her. She might have been a bit introverted since she was little... If there's anything she can't articulate well, please don't hold it against her."
"There's no worry about that. Xiao Mai has a very distinctive personality. Although she can be sparing with her words, she performs well both in work and in caring for others. I also really like this aspect of her character."
