As Lin Jiage spoke, he began looking around the room as he remarked, "… I recall seeing Uncle Ge's name on the list of guests. He's a renowned appraiser in this field, so I believe that it would be best to seek his expertise on this matter. May I know if anyone has seen him around?"
The one who was responsible for determining the seating of the guests was Lin Jiage's aunt, Lin Gunan. Upon hearing Lin Jiage's question, Lin Gunan immediately replied, "He should be seated on the table close to the window along the first row."
Lin Jiage had known all along that Uncle Ge was seated there, but he feigned ignorance and looked in the direction pointed out by his aunt. Upon spotting his target, he gave a nod of acknowledgment and said, "Ah, I see Uncle Ge. Sis, may I trouble you to invite Uncle Ge here for a moment?"
Lin Jiayi replied, "Sure."
