Secretary Qian came out from inside and bumped into Cui Qi, who looked utterly awkward and had nowhere to hide.
Cui Qi greeted him sheepishly, "Sec… Secretary Qian."
Secretary Qian narrowed his eyes, staring at Cui Qi with a warning glint behind his glasses.
Cui Qi hurriedly explained, "I just got here, didn't hear a thing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he wished he could bite his own tongue. Saying this was as good as admitting guilt.
Secretary Qian said nothing and walked away.
However, Cui Qi recalled that last look from him, and a chill ran down his spine.
At that moment, Han Chi strolled out leisurely from inside and, upon seeing Cui Qi, gave him a smile.
"Mr. Cui, you haven't left yet?"
"Min… Minister Han, if you don't mind, I'd like to invite you for a meal."
The man smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't have time."
