"Hey, Zhang Wei!"
Qi Xiang was at the back of the building, deeply engaged in a lively conversation with a few colleagues.
He was just about to head back inside the restaurant to check on his wife when his eyes caught a familiar figure in the distance.
He paused, squinting slightly under the soft evening light, as a man accompanied by a woman approached.
Although the man's appearance had changed somewhat since he last saw him a year ago, Qi Xiang's instincts kicked in.
He couldn't shake the feeling of recognition.
Without hesitation, Qi Xiang shouted, his voice carrying across the open space, "Hey, Zhang Wei!"
He watched carefully for any sign of recognition.

When Zhang Wei turned around, locking eyes with him and confirming his identity, a wide grin broke out on Qi Xiang's face.
