Zhao Changqiu couldn't help but feel a mix of annoyance and helplessness toward Chen Sheng.
He felt he had done all he could, not only making a gesture of goodwill but also almost explicitly pointing out the title "Deputy Captain Zhan."
'It's impossible that Chen Sheng didn't understand the implication, yet he still chose to respond with such a nonchalant attitude.'
