Song Heping did not intend to discuss the SA-9 missile deal openly at the company meeting, as aside from Dominic, no one else in the company would ever reveal a bit about this matter.
But this matter must be handled cautiously.
The very next morning, he came up with an excuse to send Dominic away to the Hassan Oil Field. Officially, it was to familiarize him with the business as there might be a need to station a helicopter or such at the oil field in the future. First, letting him see the site for himself, and get acquainted with the environment.
The excuse was actually pretty lame.
But it didn't matter whether lame or not, as long as it worked. A plaster that draws out pus is a good plaster.
