Elder Qiao smiled. "You don't have to be so polite. We're all in the same position. There's no distinction between superiors and subordinates at all."
"That's what you say, but our team has always strictly adhered to the level system."
The fake smile remained on Elder Hu's face. "No matter what, you've been in the group longer than the four of us, so in private, we all think that you're the First Elder."
Elder Qiao waved his hand to stop the other party from continuing. Because he knew that if a person always treated him with respect, he would not be able to show his true self and would not be able to get the outcome he wanted.
"Status has never been important. Everyone is dedicated to contributing to the regiment. It's the same for tea leaves. There's nothing to be picky about. I'll drink the good and the rotten." Elder Qiao immediately stopped this topic and changed the topic. "I wonder if the person who placed the tea leaves is a good person or a bad person?"
