With Mr. Zhang and Zhang Xin mediating, the meal went on until the dishes were nearly empty, and with everyone sated with food and drink, the atmosphere remained harmonious and joyful.
Zhang Xin chose this private restaurant because it was near the hospital, and its dishes were mainly light and nourishing.
Qu Chaozong, used to eating spicy, greasy, and heavily flavored food, found the change to light dishes refreshing.
At the table, since Mr. Zhang couldn't drink due to his health, Qu Chaozong had to accompany Mr. Zhang in drinking.
After a couple of drinks, Mr. Zhang pointed his chopsticks at someone and said, "Chaozi, I really didn't expect it. You're quite capable, even more so than I imagined. You're particularly beyond my expectations."
Qu Chaozong's eyes were glistening with the effects of alcohol, but he said nothing, knowing Mr. Zhang was looking for an argument.
