So, what's the point of bringing a female companion?
It's simple; dining with Old Xu is also a form of resource!
Have you ever seen those posers who scramble to take pictures with celebrities and big shots everywhere? They find a way to sneak into some event, seize an opportunity, rush up to flatter the big shot with a few words, and shake hands enthusiastically. While the big shot is still processing, the photographers they arranged are already snapping dozens of photos. Later, they get the photos developed, hang them in their office, and then it's time to start boasting and storytelling!
Those playing at a low level generally do this, but those at the high end have other tricks.
Specifics aside, to avoid getting into trouble.
Anyway, heavy hitters are also a resource. Such dinner parties are very valuable. Used well, they can greatly elevate one's image and status in the eyes of women.
