With that, he said, "Please show him in."
"Yes."
The servant left, and a short while later, the chubby Qian Ruhai arrived.
Upon seeing Qin Fang, his eyes lit up. But he quickly took a deep breath and bowed respectfully. "Qian Ruhai of the Wan Tong Commerce Association… I pay my respects, Young Master Qin."
Qin Fang smiled and picked up his teacup. "What's this? Has my Chief Steward grown so distant after just a year apart?"
Hearing Qin Fang's words, Qian Ruhai's expression immediately brightened, and he burst into laughter.
"You jest, Young Master Qin. Rules are rules, and friendship is friendship. I know the difference quite well."
Although he said that, he dropped the formalities, took a few steps forward, and naturally found a chair to sit in.
His gaze swept over Qin Fang, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "It's just that… my mind is still having a hard time wrapping itself around all this."
