Song Lan declined Ivan's offer, as he wanted to stay sober before returning home.
Ivan's disappointment was etched on his face. The Water of Life was his prized possession, representing the highest degree of friendship he could offer.
Unexpectedly, after rejecting the Water of Life, Song Lan ordered a glass of orange juice.
Isn't that akin to deliberately sitting at the kid's table at a banquet?
However, since the guest requested, as a bartender, Ivan could only serve a glass of orange juice, while strongly resisting the urge to add some Water of Life to it for taste.
After a glass of orange juice, the negotiation in Lu Xiang's booth concluded. Lu Xiang retrieved a folder from Ophir, acknowledged the bartender before saying to Song Lan, "I've acquired what I wanted, but there were some unexpected events during the negotiation. They made a request."
"A request?"
