In no time, Vice Minister Lin and Madam Lin arrived.
Although Bai Zhi was a bit nervous, she managed to appear quite composed and didn't embarrass Duan Xingzhi.
The red wine had already been decanted, and Bai Zhi helped Madam Lin pour some wine. "Madam Lin, President Duan heard that you usually enjoy red wine, so he specially saved a bottle from the best year for you to try. Please, have a taste and see what you think."
Madam Lin was naturally pleased upon hearing this. "President Duan is so considerate."
At this moment, Duan Xingzhi appeared approachable. "As long as Madam Lin likes it. Secretary Bai, have a drink with Madam Lin."
Bai Zhi knew she couldn't avoid it, so she raised her glass. "Madam Lin, I'll drink with you. Wishing you youthful energy year after year."
Madam Lin was in her fifties and, although she had taken good care of herself, couldn't completely resist the passage of time. She was very pleased to hear Bai Zhi's words. "Good, good, good."
