'Otherwise, if that person falls from power one day, I could very well be dragged down with them.'
'He had money, but in the face of power, it was nothing!'
Xi Huai'an hadn't expected Xu Yun to call him "Leader" instead of "Uncle Zhang."
Anyone else would have jumped at such an opportunity.
But this guy, Xu Yun, not only failed to appreciate the gesture, but he also took the initiative to define his relationship with the leader as neither too close nor too distant.
The leader was also a little surprised by how Xu Yun addressed him.
'This young man is interesting.'
He smiled and said, "Young man, you only use titles during work. Right now, I'm just an elder to you. There's no need to be so formal. Just be casual."
"Since you put it that way, Leader, I feel much more at ease."
Xu Yun poured himself a cup of tea and replied with a smile, "I was scared to death just now."
"I didn't see any sign of you being nervous when you saw me."
"That's just me putting on a brave face."
