When they heard Mr. O'Connell's words, Gu Changsheng and Dong Zhenzhen exchanged a glance...
Both understood that the matter might not be as easy as they wished, but there was at least a glimmer of hope.
If it had been an absolute no, the manager would have said so directly.
Instead, he began with the good news and the bad news, which was not only to prepare them for the worst but also a way to ease the atmosphere with his phrasing.
It must be said that the Fran People's romanticism is full of charm.
Gu Changsheng, on the other hand, was in no hurry; he gave Dong Zhenzhen a smile, a look that let her choose, joining in on the manager's little phrasing game.
Dong Zhenzhen took a deep breath and thought for a moment before saying, "Then let's hear the good news first."
Most people faced with such a choice would obviously opt for the bad news first.
Hearing the bad news first, the subsequent good news would bring a bit of psychological comfort.
