"County Chief Ying, Principal Gong, hello, I am Cheng Su." Cheng Su said with a smile as she extended her hand, "Welcome to our little restaurant."
Ying Jian and Gong Mingdong exchanged a look and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They hadn't expected such a small restaurant to have such an impressive young hostess.
Each had brought assistants of some sorts, and Cheng Su led them to a table under an apricot tree. A fan was running not far from there, and on the table were several cold dishes: sour papaya slices, fried peanuts, marinated cucumber, and cold beef salad.
Before sitting down, they introduced one another. Cheng Su led Ying Jian to the main seat and poured tea herself.
"To have County Chief Ying and Principal Gong grace my humble restaurant truly brings honor to this place," Cheng Su said with a gleaming smile.
