One's behavior or way of dealing with the world follows a fixed trajectory; no one can easily transcend themselves, and most of the time, they struggle within the confines of their own limitations.
Niusen was no exception. As a seasoned politician, he conducted himself with restraint.
Daqi acted wildly, he tolerated it; Daqi put on airs, he grinned and bore it; Daqi made requests, he accommodated them.
In terms of sincerity and acting skills, Niusen accorded Daqi the highest courtesy, even if the Great Commander of America himself arrived, he couldn't have done any better.
Because Daqi really took him for a ride—his money was tied up in Daqi's hands; how could Niusen dare to disobey?
Now, however, Niusen declared, "I dare!"
His loud questioning of Daqi's motives did not mean he wanted to submit; he was haggling!
Poise is crucial. As Daqi pushed step by step, Niusen was no turtle man; he could stand firm!
"Are you in a hurry?" Daqi wanted to laugh but held back.
