Because Lu Jiaxin's throat was uncomfortable, she didn't speak during the meal and just listened to Nie Zhan and Su Heming talking and drinking together.
Su Heming's topics of conversation jumped around a lot. One moment he talked about his childhood dream of becoming an athlete to bring glory to his country, the next he complained about how tiring it was to do business and his desire to go back to the countryside to farm, and then he discussed how far behind domestic technology was compared to the West, wondering how many years it would take to catch up. No matter the subject, Nie Zhan could keep up with the conversation and prevent any awkward silences.
Seeing that the two men had already drunk two shots of Baijiu, with each shot being roughly one hundred milliliters, Lu Jiaxin estimated they would be drunk if they continued, "Alright, let's eat. We still need to go back to the hotel after dinner."
