It's this little difference that made He Yong feel somewhat out of control over Zhou Yun. He didn't have anything with which to control her, so he could only plead with her.
Zhou Lan then added, "However, if you align yourself with the right person, your influence in the company will increase in the future. That's essentially what Lu Yicheng was implying to you. He can offer you what He Yong is not providing right now."
"Who knows how much of it he can actually deliver."
Zhou Lan: "He Yong must be aware of your meeting with Lu Yicheng in Beijing. Has he contacted you?"
"No," said Zhou Yun.
Zhou Lan: "He hasn't reached out to me either. Silence isn't his style."
"He might not know that I met with Lu Yicheng," said Zhou Yun.
Zhou Lan: "No way, I deliberately leaked the news. Someone will tell him."
Zhou Yun said in surprise, "Sister Lan, you did it on purpose?"
"Mhm, we need to let He Yong know about Lu Yicheng's moves to make him feel threatened."
