An undercurrent surged between the two, and Qiao Xi's words were quite blunt.
Lu Yingxue felt displeasure in her heart, but since the herbs still required Qiao Xi's cooperation, she smiled with a touch of friendliness.
"Vice President Qiao, I genuinely have something to discuss with you. Could you please stay so we can have a good chat?"
Qiao Xi said leisurely, "What if I say no?"
"Then what about me?" Lu Bannong said, looking pale, "Do I have enough favor to persuade you to stay? This matter is very important to many people."
After driving away the younger ones, here comes the older ones.
Qiao Xi looked at the father and daughter, the smile on her face undiminished.
Lu Bannong glanced around and said hoarsely, "Could everyone give us some space, please? We have something we want to discuss with Vice President Qiao. It's a matter of great importance, so I ask that you temporarily excuse us."
