At the social event, Cheng Su had lost count of how many she had attended. Presently, she was surrounded by city and inter-provincial business magnates. Although Cheng Su was reluctant to face Chiang Qing, she had no choice but to sit down and engage in the pleasantries.
Be it by accident or design, someone had arranged for Cheng Su to sit to the right of Secretary Gao, while on his left was Chiang Qing.
The fragrant aroma of refined wine had already graced the table. Cheng Su inquired Secretary Gao's preference, then nodded towards Qiulan. In just a moment, the dishes began arriving one by one.
Since guests had come from afar, Cheng Su was obliged to introduce the dishes to those present, detailing the ingredients used, the culinary process, and whatnot, explaining everything in great detail.
Secretary Gao listened and nodded secretly in approval. His eyes showed satisfaction as he glanced at the plate of vinegar-soaked garlic slices in front of his seat.
