"Is it really worth getting so worked up?" Li Fengying asked, her mouth stretching into a grin that nearly reached her ears. "You should try to be more open-minded. You can hold a grudge against anything you like, but don't hold one against your work points. If you ask me, if the man isn't capable, he just isn't capable.
