Kentarou was not in the tea room but standing under an old maple tree in the center of the courtyard.
He was dressed in a dark-colored kimono, holding a string of Buddha Beads in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
Sato led Mr. Chen Cheng up to Kentarou and bowed respectfully: "President, Mr. Chen Cheng has arrived."
It was then Kentarou slowly turned around, still wearing that same confident smile, "Mr. Chen Cheng, welcome."
"Hello."
The two shook hands, and Kentarou led Mr. Chen Cheng towards the cottage, "I wanted to meet with you today to have a good talk before the banquet."
Mr. Chen Cheng responded with a smile, "I had the same intention. I just didn't expect Mr. Sanji to choose such an elegant place with such taste."
Kentarou replied, "When talking business with friends, the setting mustn't be inadequate."
The two chatted and laughed all the way to the front of the cottage.
Kentarou reached out and slid the door open, "Please."
