"When did it become that I owe you?" Zhao Ruonan said.
"It always was. You said you'd ask when you got back, but then there was no news." Song Xiaodong replied.
"I did ask when I got back, but I really can't get access to those herbs." Zhao Ruonan said.
"General Zhao, you're kidding me. You can't access them? Are you trying to amuse me?" Song Xiaodong said.
"It's true, and it actually has something to do with you." Zhao Ruonan said.
"How does it have anything to do with me?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Because you always treat the old leader, using those herbs, which are now in short supply." Zhao Ruonan said.
"Oh... I see." Song Xiaodong thought for a moment, finding it reasonable.
"Anyway, I can ask Old Li about it." Zhao Ruonan said.
"Then I'll be waiting for some good news from General Zhao." Song Xiaodong said.
"In any case, I still have to thank you this time." Zhao Ruonan told Song Xiaodong.
