"Hello, Expert Lin!"
"Good evening, Expert Lin!"
As soon as Lin Jie stepped into the brightly lit reception hall of the Four Seas Building, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, he was warmly welcomed by a group of more than a dozen people who eagerly surrounded him with greetings.
Lin Jie responded to each person with a gentle smile. His replies were brief yet polite, ensuring that no one felt dismissed or treated with arrogance.
Although he inherently disliked such social events, he had attended quite a few similar occasions. Faking interest was something he had become reasonably adept at.
Clearly left out of the spotlight, Chen Lili, Lu Kaicheng, and Chen Qiuhua glanced around, exchanged looks, and collectively turned toward the west side of the hall.
There, ten or so display cabinets and panels were arranged, clearly marking the exhibition area for collateral.
"Welcome, Expert Lin, for making time to come!"
