When someone urged the leader to go out saying a guest had arrived, Lu Zhenghua ignored it.
It wasn't until the end of the game that Lu Zhenghua realized he had never enjoyed chess as he did today, playing so thoroughly and heartily.
Although he lost, it was just by two assistants, indicating his supreme skill.
The old man occasionally gave him thumbs up, nodding in approval.
They went downstairs to eat after finishing the game.
At the banquet, Lu Zhenghua naturally sat in the host's seat. On his left was the chief's wife, and the seat on his right was supposed to be for Lu Ming, but it remained empty as Lu Ming had not yet arrived.
Li Tong would often visit the old man whenever she had time, always sitting next to him during meals.
So she strode towards the chief's side as usual, with a satisfied smile on her face.
But when she got next to the chief, she flattered, "Uncle Lu! Aunt Wu looks younger every year! Look at how nice her dress is."
