After reaching the center of the banquet hall, Luo Ziling bowed to the entire room, apologized for his tardiness, and asked for forgiveness from everyone.
Upon entering the banquet hall, he saw Xu Zhiyuan and Jin Qingji, who were about to take their seats, stop instead to look at the dazzling Luo Ziling and his two female companions.
Eventually, Xu Zhiyuan took Jin Qingji's hand and walked towards Luo Ziling.
Before reaching Luo Ziling, he smiled and extended his hand: "I've long heard of Mr. Luo's reputation. It is truly a pleasure to meet you today."
Luo Ziling knew that Xu Zhiyuan could speak fluent Chinese, so he wasn't surprised at all when Xu Zhiyuan greeted him in Chinese. In fact, most foreigners engaged in the study of traditional medicine generally can speak Chinese and have a substantial understanding of Huaxia culture.
