The meal and the atmosphere were extremely good. Secretary Yang held power over a region of high ranking officials, yet he never showed any sign of being on a high horse. On the contrary, he was completely easygoing.
After eating and drinking to one's content, Secretary Yang sent his assistant to go and take care of the bill. He continued to chat with Wang Yao and Tian Yuantu for a while, then he said his farewells and left.
Seeing him leave, the hotel owner, who was always off to one side paying close attention, rushed out to see him off.
"Director Tian, you scared the mess out of me. This honored guest's background is too grand," said the hotel owner laughing at Tian Yuantu, after he had waited for Secretary Yang to leave.
