Mrs. Li was even more delighted to hear this. Smug satisfaction welled up inside her, and her face broke into a wide smile. "It's all thanks to the kindness of the folks under my husband. Tell everyone to come and visit when they have time! We'll have to work even harder and be more diligent to be worthy of their support!"
For Mrs. Li, such diplomatic niceties were child's play. She might not have been a natural orator, but she could certainly praise something to the high heavens.
"Oh, Mrs. Li, you're too modest. With a capable and supportive wife like you, Leader Li is sure to keep rising through the ranks. We all must learn from you in the future." Xia Yingyu flattered Mrs. Li, her voice fawning. She hoped Mrs. Li would put in a good word with Leader Li and get her husband, Zhao Jinghai, promoted.
That way, she too could enjoy the glory that came with her husband's success and become a lady of high standing.
