When Xu Chunliang and Pu Jian arrived at First-class Residence, they saw Lu Ming and some friends playing cards. It turned out they also booked a table here for the night.
Upon seeing Xu Chunliang, Lu Ming handed his cards to another friend and proactively came over to join him for tea. He felt that Pu Jian looked somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall where they'd met before.
Pu Jian recognized Lu Ming, knowing that he is Lu Qi's brother, the head of Dongzhou's Internet Monitoring Department, someone with considerable influence. He remembered there was a past conflict with Lu Qi which Lu Ming had resolved, almost landing him in detention. It was only through finding connections, apologizing, and compensating that matter was settled.
Lu Ming told Xu Chunliang that there have been a lot of unfavorable rumors about their hospital recently.
