The Mi-171 helicopter landed on the hospital's helipad, and General Ramas descended from the cabin, then passed through the emergency building to the inpatient department, and went up to the second floor of one of the wards.
In the ward, he saw Song Heping, who was already sitting in a chair waiting for him.
"You look very spirited, my friend."
Ramas opened his arms.
Song Heping stepped forward and gave him a hug, performing a cheek-to-cheek greeting.
"General, I'm so hungry I could eat a cow. I was about to go grab something to eat, but when they said you were coming, I waited here for you for twenty minutes."
Song Heping didn't hide his complaint one bit.
Because he knew very well that an old fox like Ramas had seen too much of worldly cunning, and sometimes being too polite in front of such people could actually make the interaction seem distant and awkward.
