At dusk, Deng Lanhua and Qi Song, accompanied by Qi Wenlei, arrived at the breakfast shop mentioned by Tang Yue, where she enthusiastically welcomed them. Tang Mingli assessed Qi Song and his wife, thinking to himself that his niece certainly had a particularly good eye.
Qi Song and his wife were both straightforward, honest people, which greatly pleased Tang Mingli about this partnership.
After the usual pleasantries, the dishes were quickly served, the shop door was shut, and a lively fire was lit, warming up the entire place.
Qi Song, spirited and direct, was only a few years older than Tang Mingli. They talked easily, finding common ground and feeling no barriers between them.
Tang Zhengde kept encouraging everyone to drink and enjoy the meal.
The table was lively.
Once the conversation about the partnership started, it flowed smoothly.
