Because of those boxes of cookies, Le Tong called the mansion as soon as she got home, and it was Housekeeper Li who answered the phone.
"Oh, it's Miss Le. The old man is enjoying tea on the terrace, please wait a moment."
"Housekeeper Li, there's no need..." Before Le Tong could finish her sentence, the other side had already put down the phone. Le Tong heard the sound of footsteps and a door opening, and then she heard Housekeeper Li say softly, "Sir, Miss Le is on the phone."
"Hello!" An elderly voice came through.
"Chairman, the cookies taste great, thank you!"
Le Tong was a kind woman and always very polite and courteous to her elders. Once, she had a sharp verbal exchange with Mr. Ji because the old man was too arrogant and looked down on others.
Now, the old man repeatedly showed kindness through his actions. It was not imaginable for her to suddenly be candid and open with the old man without reservations, but she could maintain surface politeness.
