"I was utterly shocked and numbed..." Tang Fei forced a bitter smile and said, "I never imagined that a small fry like me would catch the Military Minister's eye. It's like my ancestors are puffing green smoke from their graves."
"Is that truly what you think?"
"Indeed, that's what I think."
"Since that's the case, you should do a good job. Maybe you could even get into the Military Minister's good graces... In that case, your prospects would be limitless."
Tang Fei quickly objected, saying, "I can't serve two masters or be loyal to two lords... I was personally promoted by the director. I am the director's man in life and his man in death."
"The director says how things should be done, and when he says no, we don't do it. No matter how high up the Military Minister is, my loyalty is devoted only to the director."
"Director, if you say no... then I won't go. Let's turn down that collaboration invitation right now..."
Yan Wenli remained silent for a long time.
