The head of Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, Li, managed to find some time amidst his busy schedule to have a meal with four academicians from the Science Academy's Department of Mathematics and Physics who visited from the Capital.
The advantage of having no other guests was that although wine was served at the meal, no one pressured anyone else to drink; everyone just drank according to their own limits.
Qiao Ze, who has an innate dislike for alcohol intake, as usual did not drink. He also did not talk during the meal, but fortunately, as long as this was accepted, it didn't affect anyone else.
He just needed to eat quietly, and the others could chat about adult matters on the side.
As for whether Qiao Ze felt bored or not, it didn't matter.
Well, leaders can have their rebellious moments too.
The trip to Xilin today definitely brought significant gains, but as soon as they arrived at the door, Dou Dou gave the four people a bit of a cold reception.
