"I have," Shen Jianan replied calmly, setting down his teacup. "Judging by what Old Li said, Sister-in-law Lanhua seems to be a very capable person with a good presence.

It is necessary to employ talent with local advantages; after all, in the initial stages of development, locals are more likely to master specific tasks than most outsiders."
