The conference venue was at the Hyatt Hotel. It was a short walk from Chinatown. The hotel provided on-site dining and a 24-hour gym. It had dedicated conference rooms for academic activities.
Sarrot drove Lu Zhou to the destination and parked in the parking lot. He then walked to the elevator with Lu Zhou.
Not only was this conference a good opportunity to exchange academic ideas with peers, but it was also a good opportunity to expand one's network. Any ambitious researchers would take this opportunity seriously.
Lu Zhou's flight and expenses were all paid for by the organizer of the conference. However, Sarrot had to pay for this conference out of his own pocket.
In the elevator, Lu Zhou looked at Sarrot and said, "I plan on sleeping first, how about you?"
Sarrot looked at Lu Zhou and said, "You're planning on sleeping? There's a dance party later."
