Upon hearing the conversation between He Wenjie and Mayor Lin, Bao Yifan and his father initially assumed that Mayor Lin must be asking a favor of He Wenjie, and that He Wenjie had already accomplished the task, leaving only the matter of specific compensation to be discussed. What exactly the two men had discussed, neither father nor son dared to ask; but regardless, the relationship between He Wenjie and Mayor Lin was undoubtedly extraordinary, and it was entirely possible that He Wenjie had someone with even greater clout than Mayor Lin standing behind him.
Knowing that his primary objective for the day had already been achieved, He Wenjie realized that saying anything further would be quite redundant. He drained his glass of champagne in one gulp and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bao, I'm afraid I have to leave first. Xiao Bao Zong, I hope the joke I just shared with you remains nothing more than a joke, forever."
After He Wenjie left, Bao's father asked, "What were you two talking about just now? His tone didn't sound very friendly to me."
