By the Republic Palace pool.
Song Heping was somewhat distracted.
On the other hand, the chef was like a fish in water at this kind of event, clinking glasses with those contractors introduced by Turner, chatting as if they had known each other for years.
What was distracting Song Heping, of course, was the matter of Yusuf.
Whether or not to take on this job was a question worth pondering.
Yusuf had asked him to dinner at his house the following night.
He said it was a gathering of friends.
But in reality...
Song Heping felt it was a forced hand.
To make him make a choice.
His defense company was just starting, and Yusuf was very important to him.
Leaving aside the fact that he could only get his arms supply with Yusuf's help, the arms warehouse and office building his company was currently renting wouldn't have been so easily secured without Yusuf's assistance.
So, Yusuf was not someone he could afford to offend.
