Richard was noticeably enthusiastic.
Director Liu was not quite as enthusiastic as Richard, he seemed somewhat doubtful of Shen Yue's abilities, but, out of respect for Richard, he still extended his hand to him, shook it, and said perfunctorily, "Nice to meet you. Ah, right, it's almost time. Ms. Gao is known to be punctual. Why don't we move to my office for a chat?"
Richard agreed with him enthusiastically, "Perfect, if you could have some fine Da Hong Pao tea ready, we can continue our conversation over tea."
Once they were a fair distance from the old gentleman fishing, Jin Xin couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, I heard you often come here for friendly visits?"
"Yes, indeed." Richard courteously replied, "Director Liu and I met years ago at an international psychology conference. We hit it off immediately. Whenever he's in Switzerland for academic exchanges, he's sure to visit me. Similarly, whenever I'm here, I make it a point to have some of his free tea."
