9:00 AM the following day.
Director Hou and Jiang An arrived at the hotel's first-floor lobby with their luggage and spotted a black business car parked outside.
Standing by the car were Director Lu and Zhang Biao, both of whom had evidently been waiting for some time.
As Director Hou and Jiang An stepped out of the lobby, Director Lu immediately beamed and walked over quickly, with Zhang Biao following closely.
While extending his hand to shake with Director Hou, Director Lu warmly said, "Director Hou, Mr. Jiang, your schedule has been so packed this trip, we haven't had the chance to properly host you."
"Why not stay a couple more days? At the very least, let us fulfill our duties as hosts."
"We apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality and seek your understanding."
As he finished speaking, Director Lu slightly turned his body and gave Zhang Biao a look.
