The dinner party started on time at 18:30.
Gu Tianze and Li Xian arrived together, by then, Bei Lingfeng and Hua Yunliang were already waiting for the two of them at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Upon meeting, naturally, they exchanged pleasantries as usual, but today, the atmosphere of the chatter was... somewhat "odd".
Gu Tianze appeared as his usual self, unable to keep his mouth closed from smiling, and as soon as he saw Bei Lingfeng, he quickly grasped his hand and said apologetically:
"President Bei, I heard that the night before last, you drank so much with me that you ended up in the hospital. I'm truly sorry! Initially, I wanted to visit you in the hospital yesterday, but your assistant refused to tell me which hospital you were in, insisting you didn't want any visitors. Just look, look at how rude that is..."
