After around 10 minutes of driving, the old receptionist, Mei Gui, and I arrived at a restaurant located in the outskirts of District A, fairly close to the slums.
"Why did we come here?" I asked. "There are plenty of better restaurants closer to the central part of the city."
The old woman chuckled. "No no. Those places might look luxurious and posh, but the food here is unbeatable."
I had my doubts, but kept them to myself as we walked into the restaurant. As soon as we entered, a waiter spotted us.
"Ah, Mrs. Fang! Welcome back!" he said cheerfully, as expected of a waiter.
Welcome...back? So is this old lady a regular here?
"Good afternoon," the woman replied with a gentle smile. "Now then...where shall we sit?"
"Right this way, madam!" the waiter exclaimed, leading us towards an empty table near the corner.
Yes! The corner seat is mine!
