Everything was going so smoothly that Chen Yan was a bit astonished.
After all, he had become used to things going through twists and turns. Now that there wasn't a single wave in sight, it was no wonder he felt uncertain.
Yet, no matter how much he sensed that something might be off, the developments continued to progress incredibly smoothly.
At the dinner table, Director Cao's attitude was not only enthusiastic but also carried a hint of humility, and his subordinates were all very eager, one by one coming forward to offer toasts.
Even the etiquette was spot on: they drained their glasses, while Chen Yan could drink as little or as much as he liked.
Chen Yan wasn't really fond of drinking, but seeing their enthusiasm, he didn't put on airs and joined in the toasts, earning rounds of enthusiastic applause from the whole table.
By the end of the meal, Chen Yan felt a bit lightheaded.
