Xiao Qingcang explained in an especially humble manner, his handsome face showing not a trace of arrogance. "…Wait a moment, Mr. Zhou—since you arrived in Binhai yesterday, why didn't you come find me then? Ah, no, that doesn't make sense either, you must've been here for quite some time! When I woke up this morning, I saw a car outside, but I didn't know it was you inside; otherwise, I'd have invited you in right away! It wasn't until my girlfriend woke up that she informed me a manager had come looking for me. My apologies for the poor hospitality, Mr. Zhou. I hope you can forgive me and be considerate!"
Having spent the entire night sitting in the car, Mr. Zhou immediately dismissed the residual displeasure he felt upon hearing Xiao Qingcang's words. "President Xiao probably had too much to drink; I understand that. I arrived last night and was waiting for you all along!"
