Not only was Edward stunned, but so was his father, Buffett. They had no idea why Su Xuan would ask such a question.
But Buffett was a shrewd man and quickly realized there might be a problem. A wrong answer could cost him a lucrative investment opportunity. FedEx was developing rapidly; it didn't lack for investors and certainly didn't need his in particular.
From what I know, Alice has spent time in China. Perhaps she has some special relationship with Su Xuan!
"No, no," Buffett answered for his son. "They're just ordinary friends. They've never even been on a date."
"Is that so?" Su Xuan kept his gaze on Edward.
"Uh... yes, yes!" Edward nodded. "I'm just a friend of Alice's, a very ordinary one."
He chickened out, too.
