After the unpleasant little interlude, Ji Huan and the others went directly to Hongfu Restaurant.
Manager Hong had recently added private rooms on the second floor, and Xu Laifu had come early to book one.
Inside one of the rooms, village chief Meng and the villagers from Dafeng Village sat at one table, while the old Taoist, Huang Junping, and the people from Ji's Flavor Industry sat at another.
They had actually invited Meng Huolang at the entrance to the government office, but he looked deeply shaken and still had a look of lingering fear, so Ji Huan didn't insist.
As she watched his retreating back, she remarked, "I didn't expect Uncle Meng to be so kind-hearted."
