A person of such caliber visits, and local dignitaries must personally greet them. Sikinkov had been waiting early on.
"Hello, City Council President Sikinkov."
"It's an honor, Mr. Charles."
The two shook hands.
At that moment, Charles saw Su Mo beside Sikinkov and laughed, "Director Su, it's our first meeting, but your name precedes you."
Su Mo nodded slightly, "Overrated."
Sikinkov explained, "Director Su is about to respond to the call to the front line. It just so happens his departure is slightly later than your arrival, so he says he wants to meet you face-to-face."
