Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at a fairly decent restaurant nearby.
The business was booming at the establishment, but since they had booked late, all the private rooms were full, so they had to sit in the main hall.
Director Liu had called over several colleagues from the comprehensive department who he got along with well, a mix of men and women, aged about twenty-five or twenty-six to thirty.
They were young but each one of them was shrewd; their gestures and movements were unspeakably slick.
"Xiao Xue is here, and so is Master Song."
"Come, come, come, take a seat."
Director Liu beckoned the two over and introduced them, "Let me introduce you all to Tian Xue, our esteemed Secretary Wu’s chief assistant – a bright future ahead!"
"And this is Song Guanchao, Secretary Wu’s driver. Both of them are confidants of Secretary Wu; they are bound for impressive achievements!"

They were generous with their complimentary words which cost nothing.
Song Guanchao, used to large gatherings, responded with ease and quickly blended in with them.
