This acquaintance is the wife of a CEO who had been collaborating with Cheng Group, and because their husbands had business dealings, their private relationships were quite cordial.
They occasionally met for afternoon tea, beauty treatments, and playing mahjong.
However, ever since Cheng Group went bankrupt, she automatically distanced herself from them, having keenly observed the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
It was such a coincidence to meet here that it would have been awkward not to greet, so Mrs. Cheng nodded to the lady and said, "Mrs. Xu, long time no see."
Seeing her, Mrs. Xu didn't act as a snob and pretend not to recognize her as one might expect; instead, she happily replied to Mrs. Cheng's greeting, "Indeed, Mrs. Cheng, it's been a long time. What a coincidence, what brings you here?"
