"I've long heard that Uncle Jiang has added a strong new player to his team, never thought it was President Hua," Gu Jiangnian said during a lull in the meal, his gaze falling on Hua Ya without any direct scrutiny.
"President Hua is too kind," Hua Ya spoke up, silently admiring the man's tactfulness.
