Qiao Rulong saw that he had matters to attend to and didn't insist, personally driving Xu Chunliang to Linzheng Hall. Since joining Hua Tou, he had been busy with work. Moreover, Qiao Rulong was very rational in his actions and disliked meaningless socializing. Despite his wife Ye Qingya being somewhat famous in the art circle, Qiao Rulong had no interest in the cultural scene, so even though Xu Chunliang invited him, he politely declined.
Xu Chunliang just got out of the car and hadn't yet entered Linzheng Hall when Hua Zhuyue called. She had made several calls earlier today but couldn't get through because Xu Chunliang had offended some influential figures on his last visit to the Capital City, making Hua Zhuyue somewhat worried.
Xu Chunliang told her he was fine, and when he was on the phone, he saw Xie Boxiang arriving, who was also there at the invitation of Huang Wanglin.
