Director Jian paused at the door.
Gao Yan noticed this, and just as she was about to ask a question, Director Jian continued inside as if nothing had happened.
The Bamboo Room was spacious, furnished with places for musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, as well as board games for entertainment.
Xu Nanjing noticed their entry from the corner of his eye, put down his teacup, stood up, and whispered to Bai Lian, "Alian, my mom is introducing you to an elderly gentleman, he has arrived."
Bai Lian tilted her head and politely stood up along with Xu Nanjing.
Gao Yan, leading Director Jian through the screen, entered; she was dressed in a well-tailored cheongsam that highlighted her unique demeanor, with a black jade fan resting elegantly in her palm.
Uncle Lin followed behind Director Jian, pulling out the main seat's chair for him.
Gao Yan slightly leaned forward to introduce Bai Lian to Director Jian, "Director Jian, this is the junior I mentioned to you."
