At the banquet hosted by Teng Yun Ge Shang, besides Ning Fan, there was another person present—Chen Fengnan, who had also been unexpectedly invited by Teng Yun Ge Shang.
Because an important agreement had been signed the day before, Chen Fengnan decided to give Teng Yun Ge Shang some face and accepted the invitation.
He arrived very early, about half an hour before Ning Fan and Teng Yun Ge Shang.
When he saw Ning Fan and Teng Yun Ge Shang walking into the private room together, he was momentarily stunned. Immediately afterward, Teng Yun Ge Shang greeted him warmly.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I have another friend whom I had to personally invite. You know him too!"
Teng Yun Ge Shang gestured towards Ning Fan, wearing an elusive smile that seemed impossible to decipher.
"Mr. Ning, of course I know him—we're friends!"
Chen Fengnan glanced at Ning Fan and signaled him with his eyes, as if trying to assure him not to misunderstand.
