"Greetings, lovely lady, I am Catherine. I am very grateful for your earlier assistance in rescuing us from dire straits. I'm reluctantly in charge of things here until our boss returns. Is there anything you would like me to do?"
Catherine's words were exceedingly diplomatic and watertight, even subtly praising Li Haitang, which would surely make someone else smile upon hearing them.
