Seeing he couldn't make everyone stay, Wang Yongcheng could only send them out.
As they were leaving, he squeezed Ji Yang's hand and said, "After you finish up the business you have on hand, I'll treat you properly next time."
"That won't do," Ji Yang said with a serious expression. "Next time, I should be the one treating. How can I always let you foot the bill?"
Wang Yongcheng laughed heartily, "Alright, I'll wait for you to treat then. You're the rich one, after all."
Miao Xiaoying smiled, "Everyone knows Chief Ji is the wealthiest chief in our town. You must treat us."
"Rich is an overstatement. But I can certainly cover a meal." Everyone already knew how he had come by his wealth, so Ji Yang didn't mind bringing it up.
After some idle chat, everyone left the place.
Since it wasn't far from the town, they had walked over, so now everyone walked back.
Ji Yang had a feeling that Liu Yun was silently observing him from time to time.
