Don't be fooled by how Wu Beiming casually asked a question, as if it were just an offhand remark.
But when he asked that question, he had already made his intention clear. Huang Beishan, having been retired for many years and not having much interaction with such people, perhaps let his guard down and casually mentioned which table he was at.
Wu Beiming's question had undoubtedly revealed many things to Huang Beishan.
To settle the bill.
Why else would he ask which table?
The implication was obvious.
This kind of person, having been savvy even in youth, now holds a high position and has maneuvered through society for many years. It's difficult to catch any flaw in their words. If Huang Beishan hadn't remembered Wu Beiming from back then, he might not have thought of this.
What seems like a simple sentence was actually a setup for the upcoming payment of the bill.
