"No matter what, I'm truly very grateful to you. If you hadn't appeared that day, I might already have run into trouble by now and wouldn't be able to have dinner with you all here—I might be lying in a hospital."
These were his sincere thoughts, and no matter what, he was very grateful to Old Chen.
Upon hearing those words, Old Chen simply smiled faintly and clinked glasses with him.
"It's nothing. Since you're the boss's friend, you're my friend too."
Quickly, Liu Zheng raised his glass again toward Liu Jiaxin.
"But no matter what, I still have to really thank you. Because of you, he was willing to help me. I must say our encounter that day was truly such a coincidence. I never expected to meet under those circumstances."
Hearing this, Liu Jiaxin also smiled and drank her wine.
