In Northrealm, a certain tea room.
Upon seeing Zhao Gang, Li Zhongnan began with a laugh, "Mayor Zhao, you're not being fair, standing me up like that."
The first time Li Zhongnan met Zhao Gang was at the Antique Shop when Zhao was still the mayor of Northrealm. Li was extremely excited then. But now, with Zhao as the mayor of Nangang, Li didn't feel as much excitement, easily jesting with him upon meeting.
This shows how much he has grown, and quickly at that.
Zhao Gang bursts out laughing at Li's comment, "Li Zhongnan, as far as I know, we didn't have a date?" After joking around, he changed the topic, "I just came from your paper factory."
Li Zhongnan was taken aback and asked, "An incognito visit?"
"Not really."
Zhao Gang apologized with a smile, "It's just that your project proposal made the Northrealm paper factory sound so good that it was hard to believe. So, I decided to make an unannounced visit to see if there was anything you were keeping from us."
