Shen Peisheng and Fang Beijun chatted and laughed as if they were old friends.
Xiahou Qi silently observed Fang Beijun, observed Shen Peisheng, and observed the people in front of him who were obedient to Shen Peisheng.
Without uttering a single word.
Nearly all those on Xiahou Qi's side had been sent away, and even those who remained were excluded from the meeting.
Thus, witnessing such a scene before his eyes was not surprising.
"Fang, what brings you here this time?" Shen Peisheng changed his address, sounding even more cordial, "Let's deal with the important matters first. Once we're done, I can play my part as the host. You haven't visited in a long time."
Shen Peisheng deliberately or inadvertently acted like he was the one in charge here.
Fang Beijun seemed oblivious, as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss.
The other Senior Affairs Officers and Affairs Officers present all acted as if it were totally normal.
