The reason for asking Wang Manni to emphasize that it's an internal cigarette is to prevent security from mistaking its value, turning an alliance into animosity.
When speaking to those on the lower rungs, it's best to be direct; playing games with unspoken understandings only backfires.
"Alright."
Wang Manni didn't ask further questions and took the cigarette box to the security guard.
"This is from Mr. Liu for you, a staff-only cigarette from the Environmental Department."
She emphasized the words "staff-only."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu. Thank you, Manager Wang."
The security guard accepted the cigarette box with a face full of smiles.
He didn't plan to smoke it; saving it to boast during drinking sessions was the best use.
Wang Manni nodded elegantly before returning to Liu Zheng's side.
The two took the elevator to the sixth floor, where Wang Manni led Liu Zheng to the door of room 666.
"Mr. Deliveryman, I'll wait outside for you."
Wang Manni said.
"Hmm."
