Of the executives who had come, only Kuang Chenghai knew Sun Binghe well. At first glance, the others assumed he was Shen Lian's assistant. One vice president thought, He really has upgraded. Now that Shen Lian's popularity is rising, he has three assistants with him. The one in the suit looks especially capable.
Shen Lian spoke in his usual tone, his manner deferential. "President Kuang, I brewed the Pu'er Tea using the standard amount of water and brewing time. Is it to your liking?"
Kuang Chenghai had no particular backing, but anyone who had climbed to his position, especially in the entertainment industry, could see through a great many things at a glance. Take this situation: whose man was Sun Binghe? No one but that man had the authority to dispatch him. What did it mean that he had come specifically to look after Shen Lian?
Kuang Chenghai wanted to down a drink as punishment for being so slow on the uptake.
When Shen Lian first joined Xingkai, Kuang Chenghai had heard people say he seemed to have someone backing him. He had not minded. In this industry, having backing was a strength; not having any was what you had to worry about. But Kuang Chenghai had assumed Shen Lian was merely close to some executive. He had never dared to connect him to the Hengtai Building, and Sun Binghe did not need to report his plans to him.
Only now had the missing pieces finally fallen into place.
Kuang Chenghai stood and took the Pu'er Tea from Shen Lian. He sipped it and praised it enthusiastically. "Delicious!"
Shen Lian: "..."
Sun Binghe leaned back in a corner of the sofa without speaking.
As for Jiang You and Li Yi, this was not the sort of occasion they could handle.
