Zhou Qing smirked, shrugged his shoulders, and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, it's not me who is feeling awkward!"
"You..."
Ji Hongyu stomped her feet in frustration.
Zhou Qing turned around and left with a carefree expression on his face.
Stepping out of Ji Hongyu's office, the corridor was empty of any figures. Zhou Qing headed straight for the office of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee Secretary, from where he could faintly hear the sounds of a conversation.
It was only then that Zhou Qing heaved a sigh of relief, walked over to the windowsill, and lit a cigarette for himself.
After waiting a full ten minutes, Zhou Weining finally came out of the office, his expression having changed, no longer as gloomy as before.
"Brother Ning."
Zhou Qing greeted him with a smile and asked in a low voice, "What did Secretary Liu say about this matter?"
"Let's talk back home."
