Simon Sutton was chatting with a few friends about recent business affairs. The Sutton Family has been quite prominent lately, and people often come by to exchange pleasantries.
A CEO walked over with a wine glass, raised his glass to signal: "Old Man Sutton, long time no see. Business is booming lately, huh."
Simon Sutton gave an appropriate smile and said modestly, "No, we're far behind compared to your Song Corporation."
After saying that, he took a sip of his drink along with Mr. Song: "Ah, you're just too modest, that's not good."
"In the future, maybe we can have more business dealings."
Of course, Simon Sutton had to respond; that's how it is in the business world—no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
He wouldn't turn down an opportunity that comes knocking.
The two exchanged a few more polite words, and Mr. Song had drunk quite a bit, so his speech was less reserved, even bringing up some family gossip.
