Back in the quiet of his office, Xu Qianghua sat reviewing a few remaining details when the door opened, and An Zhihao and Lin Yue entered, their expressions calm but carrying a hint of cheerfulness.
He raised an eyebrow, curious about their decision to come in person instead of using the communication token.
"Well, I thought you'd just relay the orders with the token," Xu Qianghua remarked, looking from one to the other with mild amusement. "Any particular reason you felt the need to step out?"
An Zhihao flashed him a charming grin, shrugging her shoulders as she approached him. "Oh, we wanted to make sure everything was carried out precisely," she replied lightly.
"Sometimes, direct interaction is more effective than a message over the token." She glanced at Lin Yue, who nodded in agreement, her expression composed but with a small, knowing smile.
