Xu Xiangbei grinned: "Of course I can cure it, but I won't help you. You don't like me, and I don't like you either."
Secretary-General Li frowned, somewhat regretting his earlier outburst at Xu Xiangbei. Now he had offended him, but he consoled himself, wondering if this kid could really cure anything or if it was all just talk.
The door to the lounge opened, and Secretary Qin came in with a few city representatives, giving instructions as he walked.
When he saw Xu Xiangbei sitting on the sofa, he quickly extended his hands with a big smile: "Younger Brother Xu, you're here! Hope you haven't been waiting too long."
Xu Xiangbei shook hands with Secretary Qin: "Not at all, just chatting with Secretary Li here. We're hitting it off."
Seeing Secretary Qin's questioning look, Secretary-General Li's face reddened slightly. He nodded as if in agreement and forced an awkward smile: "Yes, we were just chatting. Dr. Xu is quite the conversationalist."
