Chen Nan dismissively said, "It's not something shady; it's no big deal."
Li Yao struggled to regain his composure and said, "Since that's the case, I'll head back first. If you need anything, feel free to call me anytime."
"Alright, take care!" Chen Nan said with a smile.
Li Yao drove off and then returned to the municipal government compound. Even back in his office, he felt distracted.
He was thinking.
Whether or not to tell Lu Yuanyang about today's events.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and went to Lu Yuanyang's office.
He knocked on the door.
Upon hearing the invitation to come in, Li Yao then pushed the door and entered.
Seeing it was his secretary, Lu Yuanyang casually asked, "Is everything taken care of?"
Li Yao had previously reported to him that he was going to the Food and Drug Administration to assist Chen Nan with testing the so-called herbal tea.
