By the time Pei Rong reached the restaurant, Lin Shuwen had already been waiting for 30 minutes, but he did not appear impatient.
"Hi, Young Master Pei." Lin Shuwen reached his hand out to greet Pei Rong.
Ever since Pei Rong had passed the test and gotten promoted to advanced apothecary last year, he looked even more energetic and confident. He touched Lin Shuwen's hand gently before pulling his hand back. "Hi, Secretary Lin."
Lin Shuwen narrowed his eyes the moment he saw Pei Rong and smiled courteously. He took a seat and handed Pei Rong the menu.
Lin Shuwen had not told Pei Rong or Old Mr. Pei about the Chinese herbs he needed over the phone. After Pei Rong was done ordering and the waiter had left, he turned to look at Lin Shuwen.
He smiled and said, "Secretary Lin, you could have told me directly over the phone and didn't have to go through the trouble of buying me dinner."
