As Chen Shi and Lu Ran left, An Kexin quietly advised, "A-Jie, I know you're somewhat disdainful of Tianze Biomedical's actions. However, behind them stands a Chinese Academy of Sciences academician."
"It's better to be a bit more tactful in your refusal."
Lin Jie nonchalantly said, "A tactful refusal is still a refusal. Sometimes it can even lead to misunderstandings, so it's better to be straightforward."
"Besides, what about the academician? I don't rely on him for my livelihood."
An Kexin, trying to remain patient, said, "A-Jie, in business, harmony is valuable. It's not good to offend too many people."
Lin Jie replied, "I didn't offend them; I just refused them."
An Kexin pouted with frustration, saying, "Lin Jie..."
"Alright, alright, stop bickering, you two."
An Weize interrupted An Kexin and Lin Jie with a smile, saying, "Kexin, you haven't adjusted your mindset yet."
