In the tea room of the Gu Mansion that afternoon, there was a moment of tranquility that flashed by.
This stillness stemmed from Cao Yan's increasingly loud voice.
It was probably because, as Gu Jiangnian's right-hand man, he had achieved quite a few accomplishments over the years.
And Gu Jiangnian was indeed a man who favored the capable, hence on this day, Cao Yan's words seemed somewhat inflated.
It was true that Gu Jiangnian was a man devoted to his career.
But a career-oriented man does not necessarily have a compassionate heart in every setting.
The initially bustling and noisy tea room suddenly fell silent.
The crowd caught phrases like "Jiang's vice president" and "taking a wife" in Cao Yan's brief speech.
Piecing them together, they inevitably thought of the vice president of Huazhong, who had yet to take on real power. Reflecting on their boss's attitude towards that person, they had some vague guesses, but they dared not seek confirmation.
