Inside the tea room, after a round of pleasantries among the three, Li Yaohua directed the conversation to the main topic.
"Chen, there's no need for pretense with you. This time, I specially came from Beijing because someone messed with Qi Yun here, and I must stand up for him."
"I don't know anyone here in Shanghai, only you, Brother Chen, so I need you to step in."
Chen was well aware that Li Yaohua did not seek him out at this time merely for a cup of tea.
As for only knowing him in Shanghai, it's something to listen to but not take seriously. Considering the connections behind him, going directly to an office for tea wouldn't be an issue.
However, some things are better left unsaid; he wouldn't take the initiative to reveal anything. He just nodded with a light smile, "Tell me the situation."
"You should tell it, Qi," Li Yaohua signaled to Qi Yun, then pulled out a special supply cigarette from his pocket, offering one to each of them.
