Zhao Yunlan's response is so telling here, hah. He really gets a kick out of seeing Shen Wei get a bit mean, even as extremely fishy as that comes across.

Yes! I think this might be the moment where I started to see Zhao Yunlan's layers better, too. The way he reacts here is just, mwah. ZYL watches SW "outfox his hapless staff", and instead of being frustrated by it, he's into it. (Line stolen from a gorgeous story of yantantether's that stuck with me.)
