Guo Yurong hadn't expected that even after so many years in the world of officialdom, Gu Wenheng and his wife would still treat a man from the martial world like him with such courtesy.
Gu Wenheng said, "Brother Guo, have you been in seclusion all these years?"
Guo Yurong said, "Your Excellency, you can just call me by my name. I am unworthy of being called 'Brother'."
Gu Wenheng replied heartily, "Let's interact on a personal level here, without regard for our official statuses.
Surely Brother Guo wouldn't treat people differently just because of a change in status?"
Guo Yurong was a straightforward man himself. Once he confirmed that Gu Wenheng was sincere about their friendship and wasn't looking down on him, his smile grew more genuine.
"Of course not. To us physicians, everyone is the same.
It's just that I've been living in the deep mountains for all these years. Suddenly returning to the secular world, I'm finding it a little hard to adjust."
