As Lu Bancheng had not return to China for more than a year, he had an endless schedule of social events that he had to attend upon his return. After a full day's worth of events, he had no idea how many he had attended that day. When he finally managed to leave the Majestic Clubhouse and was about to catch a taxi home, someone called out to him from the Peking Clubhouse to fill up a team for a game of mahjong.
Lu Bancheng had always been a brilliant conversationalist, especially at a mahjong table, so despite already being exhausted from his day's activities, he agreed and soon found himself at the table creating a harmonious mood among the players.
"Unlucky in love, but lucky at cards," began proving true early in the game, for Lady Luck was smiling at Lu Bancheng. Early in the game, he drew whatever tile he wished for and managed a straight-out win.
