"Minister, am I hallucinating, or do I detect a hint of malice in your smile?"
Liu Zheng said with a glint in his eye.
Since he'd already started the job, his way of addressing others had changed as well.
"What are you talking about? It's your first day here, and you're a friend's relative. How could I possibly wish you any harm?"
Shisan Yao denied vehemently.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, and I'm going to assign you an easy task."
Shisan Yao spoke earnestly.
"I shouldn't be getting an easy task on my very first day. Maybe leave that opportunity for a more seasoned employee?"
Liu Zheng politely refused.
Just by looking at the clothes, he could tell that whatever Shisan Yao had in store could hardly be considered an easy task.
"Quit your yapping, newbies don't get to pick and choose. You do what you're told."
Suddenly, Shisan Yao's face became stern, and he rebuked sharply.
"Oh."
Liu Zheng responded calmly.
