Minister Zhou asked, "The data was stolen, how is it related to the whistleblower letter?"
Director Qin began boasting, repeating exactly what Secretary Wang had told him.
After he finished, he sat there, looking self-satisfied and expectantly seeking approval from Minister Zhou.
Minister Zhou played along, showing a flash of realization, and said, "So that's how it is. I really wouldn't have known all the intricacies involved if Director Qin hadn't mentioned it."
"Heh, Minister Zhou is only unaware of the details. Once you understand, you'll know too," Director Qin replied modestly.
It's like saying you're fat and then watching you pant.
The corners of Minister Zhou's eyes twitched slightly.
Secretary Wang didn't want to listen to his prattle and asked, "Minister Zhou, what do you think about this?"
Minister Zhou subconsciously reached for his cigarettes, but Secretary Wang had already handed them over.
He had just put one in his mouth when a lighter was offered to him.
