On the top floor of the Red Fort, in the luxurious parlor of the Jiang Company…
Xia Fan met with the company's Chief Steward, He Jinting.
He Jinting seemed to be in his forties, and was neither fat nor thin. He had a smile on his face and treated everyone courteously.
He invited Xia Fan, Traveling Buddha, and Tony to sit, and then had an employee bring in the treasures that Xia Fan had won.
"Do you want anything to drink?" He Jinting asked, pointing at the wine cabinet.
Xia Fan waved his hand. "That won't be needed. We already drank a lot downstairs."
He Jinting smiled. "Then have a cup of tea. Too much drink can be rather unbearable."
Xia Fan didn't refuse, so He Jinting personally brewed some tea for them.
This steward of extremely high status had a rather inconspicuous personality. He would do many things personally and didn't have the commanding air of a person of high status.
