Song Xiaodong gave Deputy Mayor Han a little signal and went out to take the call.
"Hello? Disciple, what's up?"
"Master, are you free Sunday night?" Lu Yaobing asked Song Xiaodong.
"Let me see... not sure yet, what do you need?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Come to my birthday dinner." Lu Yaobing said.
"Your birthday's on Sunday?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Yeah." Lu Yaobing answered.
"Alright then, I'll come. Time and place?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Haven't decided yet." Lu Yaobing said.
"Okay, tell me after you've decided."
"Okay."
Song Xiaodong came back and sat down again. Deputy Mayor Han saw that he'd just about met all the investors and the leaders of the various Beishan District factions, but his plan to invite Song Xiaodong to invest in building a factory hadn't panned out, so he decided to leave.
Secretary Xu stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone, listen up. Deputy Mayor Han has things to do tomorrow and needs to get up early, so he won't be staying to keep you company."
