'He actually found himself another good dog!'
Xu Yang marveled inwardly. It was as if he was seeing the Luo Dehu of the past.
Lu Ren and Zhao Hui were playing off each other, trying to elevate Lu Ren to the same level as Jiang Ping's group and get everyone to concede if they ran into him.
Lu Ren wasn't just kissing up to Jiang Ping and his cronies; he wanted the same treatment for himself.
Of course, this likely wasn't just Lu Ren's scheme. Jiang Ping, Zhao Zhifei, and the others had probably participated as well.
Even though the others understood what was happening and knew their intentions, they didn't dare offend Lu Ren, Jiang Ping, Gu Fang, and their group, so they had no choice but to hold their noses and agree.
As for whether Sun Tao and Lin Wei were involved, Xu Yang couldn't tell. They hadn't explicitly said that others didn't need to concede to them, but neither had they stood up to offer a hypocritical toast like Jiang Ping's group.
