"Hey!" Zhu Hongyu responded briskly as she shook Luo Ye's hand, eyebrows arching with a smile, "You must be wondering why I'm so eager to befriend you, right?"
Luo Ye smiled without answering; she knew that claiming not to be the least bit perplexed would be unbelievable to the other party.
"Let me be honest with you, Hang Menglin is my friend, and she speaks highly of you. Of course, I also know that we're on the same level.
So, my interest in bringing you to our unit has a purpose. Now, after hearing my explanation, do you find me a bit annoying?"
"Not at all." Luo Ye laughed genuinely. She had thought that unusual behavior often implied a hidden agenda, but she didn't dislike Zhu Hongyu at all, quite the opposite, she found her rather likable.
Zhu Hongyu blinked: "Do you know why I'm telling you this?"
Luo Ye nodded: "Indeed, I was somewhat puzzled because, based on your previous conversation, you clearly intended to keep this from me."
