"Deputy Director Du, you are really impressive, no wonder you've achieved such success and status."
Facing Mai Qiu's admiring gaze, which resembled that of a devoted fan, Du Juan lightly laughed as she swirled her wine glass.
The red liquid in the clear glass, under the light, sparkled like a top-grade ruby.
"I've reached where I am today, surely due to my own diligence and effort, but more so because I've had a great teacher."
She sipped her wine, her expression becoming dreamy and distant, as if reminiscing about the past.
"It was Mingzhu who taught me to love myself before loving others. Never demean yourself to please others, because no matter how hard you try, you can't please everyone. It's better to please yourself first."
"President Shen is really an impressive person."
When Mai Qiu said this, her tone unconsciously revealed genuine admiration and reverence.
