Thanks to advance planning, Chi Lian and her friends ended up at a private bar called the groove. Muyang and his friends were already there by the time the women arrived. The two groups did not intersect, each one choosing to spend time away from their better half without the other.
The men were already sipping wine, others were drinking beer while some also smoked. Some rare additions to the group of professors were Tao Yichen's older brother, the third prince and the prime minister(the second prince).
Even though this was supposed to be a social gathering, most of their talk revolved around politics, economics and leadership. The women's group too had one new addition, president Qin.
"Everyone, this is Qin Meng." Chi Lian introduced her to the others. "This is Lili, the big chef, Yifei, Ximeng, Rize and Cherry who is new to our circle."
