Su Zhinian's nod paused in mid-air, and he started to think. He then raised his eyes slowly to say to Song Qingchun, ”I'll have to ask Secretary Cheng about my schedule before I can decide.”

Song Qingchun, who had seen Su Zhinian already start to nod, was shocked by this sudden turn of events. She blinked several times at Su Zhinian before realizing that he had practically just rejected her. She replied, ”Then, tell me when you have decided on a time.”

Su Zhinian nodded with a guttural ”Hmm.”

”Huh… Who does he think he is? For just a dinner, he needs to check his schedule‽

”He really thinks he's the president?

”He must be kidding; does he think I would have dinner with anyone? He should be honored that I have even invited him!”
