Zhang Song only entered the office cautiously after receiving permission. Upon entering, he first glanced at Secretary Zhou's teacup and then went to refill it; his role as a secretary was done conscientiously.
Secretary Zhou waited until Zhang Song had walked to the water dispenser before saying, "No need to fill it, I should be leaving."
Zhang Song was momentarily stunned; his work required him to ponder over every word from the leadership. It seemed Secretary Zhou's words had a hidden meaning.
Nevertheless, Zhang Song still filled the cup. Just by the color and texture of the tea leaves, he could tell this jasmine tea was only the second brew, far from the time to replace the leaves. Having been by Secretary Zhou's side for years, he knew precisely what should and shouldn't be done, which was the reason Secretary Zhou kept him around.
He respectfully placed the refilled tea in front of Secretary Zhou with both hands: "Secretary Zhou, I'll arrange for the car now."
