Chu Ge chuckled and sat up straight, his eyes lightly resting on Jian Chunqiu, "Actually, I'm not as invested as you think; learning these things is just my occupational hazard."
Despite saying this, he didn't want to lose face in front of Jian Chunqiu; he wanted to integrate into this big family, and for that, he had to understand each person's preferences. In the business world, it could be described as knowing your adversary, but when it comes to bonding with people, wanting them to see you as a friend is a heartfelt endeavor.
"I'm really surprised, actually."
The surroundings were devoid of outsiders, so Jian Chunqiu could speak openly about his recent thoughts regarding Chu Ge.
Chu Ge was somewhat puzzled, "Surprised? Surprised about what?"
It couldn't be him being surprised about Chu Ge's understanding of everyone, right?
"I always thought you were aloof and solitary, yet I didn't expect you to actually connect with people."
