Jiang Xia was pulled away from the trash cans by his secretary.
"Did you see anything?"
The secretary squeezed his eyes shut. "President Jiang, there's something you don't know. I've actually been blind for years."
Jiang Xia chuckled, amused by his subordinate's act. He had just been kidding around anyway. Gazing in the direction An Ning had gone, he asked, "Do you think I'm being a little too cowardly?"
Alarm bells went off in the secretary's mind. 'This is a trick question. My life is on the line.'
"President Jiang, based on my one and only romantic experience, I'd say you're not being cowardly. You just care too much. Your feelings for her run deep."
Jiang Xia shot his secretary an impressed look. 'Not bad, kid.'
"Never realized you had such a silver tongue."
"I learned from the best, President Jiang."
"Get lost!"
"Yes, sir!"
