Yougu Seat, Yiting Star.
Creak—!
The doors closed, leaving only Lin Qianyi and Lu Bing in the vast meeting room.
"Deputy General Lu, this way, please!"
Lin Qianyi bowed slightly and walked ahead to lead the way. His manners were impeccably attentive, as though he did not look down on Lu Bing for having only just entered the Ninth Order.
