The two continued their conversation in the meeting room, pinching and teasing each other gleefully.

Amidst their playful mood, Mrs. Li suddenly remembered something: "Oh, darling, I've always been curious—since the Chairman was willing to lend you such a valuable prop, why did he even think to charge a rental fee for it?"

"That's exactly where his brilliance lies," Li Kai chuckled heartily. "Have you noticed how the Chairman's tone has shifted? Perhaps it's because I've always addressed him formally as 'Chairman'; he might have picked up on that. So, I think he wanted to reaffirm his position while ensuring I didn't feel overt hierarchical pressure."

Mrs. Li looked surprised: "Are you saying this is his artful way of managing people?"

"Exactly, truly masterful," Li Kai shrugged with a hint of helplessness. "If only he asked for less! He's charging way too much."

Mrs. Li froze for a moment upon hearing this, but a few seconds later, she burst into laughter, clearly amused.
