As her words fell, she deliberately nudged Wen Tang to one side with her shoulder, then, linking arms with Pei Heyan, said, "Brother He Yan, actually you should have taken me to meet that person in charge. Who knows, he might even be a fan of mine, and that could have made things much easier."
"It would be much better than having Secretary Wen go with you."
Pei Heyan didn't reject her closeness, nor did he encourage it, speaking slowly and deliberately, "It's well known that Secretary Wen is highly competent. This time, her contribution has been indispensable."
Lu Nianxin's face turned dark instantly.
Pei Heyan walked towards the crowd.
He conversed gently and elegantly with several department heads, while Wen Tang occasionally added a comment or two.
Lu Nianxin was left standing to the side, her face turning livid with anger.
She stamped her foot and turned to leave.
