Liu Dabao suddenly saw Li Fei coming in, was startled, and pushed away the female clerk sitting on his lap. He quickly stood up and, with a silly smile, looked at Li Fei, nodding and bowing as he said, "Li Fei, what brings you here? Is there anything you need?"
Li Fei smiled and looked at him, "What's the matter, can't I come?"
Liu Dabao hastily flashed a sycophantic smile, "Of course, you can come anytime!"
He immediately fished out a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to him with a full-face grin.
Li Fei used the back of his hand to deflect it and shook his head, saying calmly, "I don't smoke!"
Liu Dabao immediately took it back, threw the cigarette from his mouth onto the ground, stamped it out with his foot, and then stood nodding and bowing next to him, waiting for his command.
Li Fei strode into the shop, where several clerks were busy at work; it seemed his shop was still doing pretty well.
