While exchanging pleasantries, the dishes had already been served.
Since Chief Qiu insisted on keeping things simple, the four of them ordered just four dishes and a soup.
Chief Qiu and the director hadn't sat at the same table for many years. Their relationship was both of superior and subordinate, as well as friends. Naturally, having come together, it was only fitting to have a drink.
So, they called the waiter to bring a bottle of alcohol.
The first glass was naturally to toast the chief, but Ji Chuan didn't expect the chief to personally toast him with the second glass.
"I'll have to trouble you with my surgery," Chief Ji said.
"I will certainly go all out." The chief toasted, and Ji Chuan didn't hesitate, downing it in one go.
"I'll also toast Dr. Ji with a glass. My father's surgery's success entirely rests upon you. I preemptively wish for your surgery's success," Qiu Xinyi joined in, holding up a glass.
