"Donglai, you don't need to feel guilty. If it weren't for your timely discovery and your advance notice, I might have been in bigger trouble. Now I'm just suspended but still retained, so I'm already very satisfied."
"Besides, it's just suspension with retention. There's still a chance they'll reinstate me in the future. Even if that doesn't happen, I've been exhausted over the years, so stepping down for a break might be good."
Zhao Donglai quickly said, "Captain Lu, I believe it won't be long before they reinstate you."
"Haha, then I'll take your auspicious words."
"Captain Lu, what are your plans now?"
"I'll go home first. These years I've been consumed by work and inevitably neglected my family. I'll take this chance to spend some good time with them. As for everything else, going with the flow is best."
After chatting for a bit, Lu Jianfei left.
After he left, Zhao Donglai sighed deeply for quite a while.
