Director Chen casually took a seat by the dining table. He was likely in his thirties or forties, with a stern expression that rarely broke into a smile.
Resting one hand on the table, he looked toward Ren Qian, “Mr. Ren, 1 1 m afraid I’ll be imposing on you with my visit this time, please do take good care of me.’
