Qian Guran's way of speaking completely disregarded him, practically tearing off the facade.
But under Qian Guran's oppressive aura, Wei Digao was a bit confused and tried to stabilize himself, attempting to ease the tension by saying, "President Qian, my emotions weren't quite right earlier. Let's discuss the real business..."
Qian Guran pushed his hands on the table edge and leaned back in his chair, "I've already finished my work for the day and won't join you for dinner tonight. If President Wei has any business to discuss, let's chat tomorrow during work hours."
President Wei couldn't remember how he left the office, didn't eat dinner, and once out of Qian Guran's sight, that unsettling feeling gradually disappeared, replaced by growing anger and shame.
