The extravagance of the entourage had been publicized by the media for some time. Many people were wowed by it.
Gu Jingming waited in Glazed Tile Palace. Until the entourage arrived, the media was blocked from the entrance.
Lin Che went in and saw that the banquet had already been prepared.
Yu Minmin and Gu Jingming greeted the officials until they were just about done before they went to join Lin Che.
As it was a state visit, there were still many formalities and rules to abide by.
Hammond followed behind obediently. He only exclaimed upon seeing Lin Che, "Hey, Lin Che. You're here."
This caught the attention of many officials.
Everyone inevitably turned to see who Hammond was calling out to.
When they saw that it was Lin Che, surprise flashed in their eyes.
But Hammond did not care at all. He simply pried away from the crowd and approached Lin Che.
