Ling Feng had expected this, but his expression was unpleasant as he looked at Rick: "This really puts me in a difficult position!"
Rick thought to himself, isn't everyone? I'm in a tough spot too!
Everything was agreed upon, but then Richard changed his mind at the last minute, turning me into a treacherous person!
Unfortunately, he's the leader, and I can only follow his orders, so Rick could only smile bitterly and say: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ling, this is the Director's decision. I know it's not very appropriate, but...."
Before he could finish, Ling Feng waved his hand: "Alright, I understand this isn't your idea. That Richard is up to no good, but I have a pretty good impression of you, so I'll grant you a bit of face!"
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ling!"
Rick looked pleasantly surprised, yet a bit taken aback, and hurriedly nodded.
Ling Feng smiled and didn't say much else, joining the others as they entered the gap.
