The hot pot meal was almost over.
The Mayor of Jeddah actually came to the restaurant to meet and greet Yang Ping and Robert, raising their glasses of juice in a toast.
The owners of Jixin Garden were very pleased, today's distinguished guest certainly added prestige to their establishment.
The couple were savvy, they gathered some intelligence from the sidelines; this esteemed guest was a young professor from China who had been invited to perform surgery at IMC Hospital.
Watching the crowd of people fawning over the young Yang Ping, each one more respectful than the last, the Chinese owners felt an immense sense of pride.
Thus, they took the opportunity to propose a toast to Yang Ping using tea instead of alcohol, then handed him their business cards: "Professor Yang, your presence graced our establishment, whenever you visit Jeddah, consider this as your private kitchen, we are at your beck and call."
