When Dong Hongping came out after settling the bill, she was surprised and puzzled to see her two subordinates still waiting for her.
"Why are you two still here?"
"Manager Dong."
The female subordinate said, a bit awkwardly, "Miss Lin wouldn't let President Xu give us a ride home."
"She wouldn't let him? Why?"
"Because she said she's President Xu's wife."
The female subordinate explained, "Back inside, she only denied it to save face for President Xu."
Dong Hongping was left speechless.
After a brief silence, she said, "If you couldn't go, then so be it. It would have been awkward with his wife there anyway.
Anyway, the business is settled. You two should head home and get some rest. You worked hard today."
"President Dong, then we…"
"I'll have a word with finance at the end of the year to give you two a bigger bonus."
