A Pleasure to See You Again

"Miss Gu, we meet again." Deputy Minister Feng courteously extended a hand.

Gu Yanran lightly grasped his hand but did not shake it. She spoke fluently in the language of the Huaxia Empire, "A pleasure to see you again, Mr. Feng."

"Please, follow me." Deputy Minister Feng turned and led her to a small meeting room in the convention center to talk.

Gu Yanran followed him with a smile on her face. She, too, had something to say to Deputy Minister Feng.

The two of them entered the meeting room and seated themselves. Deputy Minister Feng wasted no time in beating around the bush; he said, without preamble, "Miss Gu, you must be aware by now that we have successfully carried out your request. I think you'll agree that it is time for you to uphold your end of the deal."
