Tao Wenshan felt the same way, but Bai Shanshan insisted on having Western food. "Since we've already made a reservation, let's not cancel it," she said. "Cheng Guodong has been to all sorts of upscale restaurants, so eating Western food will be more relaxed for him. The Great Wall Hotel is the only place in Beijing that serves authentic French cuisine, so letting him taste some French classics for a change would be nice."
Cheng Guodong was Bai Shanshan's senior from university. Both Wu Hua and Tao Wenshan had met him through Bai Shanshan, so they naturally respected her opinion. Seeing that the time was approaching, they went downstairs to the Western restaurant.
At midday, the restaurant was packed with customers, mostly foreigners.
