Lu Qiang reached the restaurant with his assistant. The restaurant was famous for serving ancient dishes from the Qing Dynasty, which were termed 'lost recipes' as these were forgotten during the austere Mao era. The menu also included the tasty dishes like classic Peking duck, roasted leg of inner Mongolian lamb, rib stick Shaanxi noodles, and many more.
Lu Qiang entered the private room that had been booked for the meeting. The six-seater table had a green flower vase adorning it. The interior was an elegant mix of both ancient and modern style, just like the menu.
"Boss, our guests will arrive in fifteen minutes. There was a slight delay because of traffic jams on the highway," Xiao Min informed his boss after answering the call from Ning Gouzhi's assistant. Ning Gouzhi was the business head of the Ning Group. Lu Qiang was busy looking through his cell phone and only nodded in reply. With a small 'okay,' he excused himself to leave for the washroom.
