Master Gu's face also looked less pleasant at this time.
Because he had not expected Hu Jiande to say such words right in front of him.
You see, even though Gu Ping had to show Hu Jiande respect, Hu Jiande was similarly courteous to him on a regular basis.
But today, Hu Jiande put him on the back burner and didn't even consider him worth mentioning in his remarks just now.
"Heh, Old Hu, since most people have arrived, I wonder if your company has anything that is not yet ready?"
It was then that Master Gu spoke up, using a very friendly tone.
This could also be seen as an attempt by Master Gu to close the gap with Hu Jiande, which would be advantageous for what he had planned next.
Given Gu Ping's amiable attitude, naturally, Hu Jiande wouldn't be rude.
"Thank you for waiting, Master Gu. Our company is well-prepared."
"However, we have specifically invited a guest today who, judging by the time, should be arriving soon."
