Lai Yaoxue was seated next to a young girl Zhou Shuyan did not recognize.
Lai Zhonglin had no daughters, yet the girl bore a resemblance to both Lai Zhonglin and Lai Yaoxue, evidently related somehow.
"President Lai, I apologize for being late," Zhou Shuyan stepped forward to shake hands with Lai Zhonglin who had stood up.
"Not at all," Lai Zhonglin chuckled, "we simply arrived a bit early."
Zhou Shuyan exchanged pleasantries with Lai Zhonglin briefly, then turned his gaze to Lai Yaoxue, "This must be your esteemed son, truly a talented individual."
"Far from being comparable to President Zhou," Lai Zhonglin said earnestly, with no hint of false modesty, "I brought him here specifically to meet you, hoping he can learn much from you."
