The breakfast in the dining room was buffet-style, included in the hotel's accommodation fee. At eight o'clock, the place was still busy. Mu Haotian had arrived at seven because he didn't know when Chen Ziqian would show up, so he could only wait patiently for his quarry.
After grabbing a heap of food, he chose a corner seat to sit down and ate while keeping an eye on the people entering through the door.
Finally, five minutes past eight, a man with a lean stature and dressed in a grey suit walked in. Upon his arrival, Mu Haotian clearly saw the female greeters bowing respectfully on either side of the entrance.
"That's him, Chen Ziqian!" Mu Haotian put down the hibiscus cake he was eating, then picked up his cup and downed the milk inside before getting up with the empty cup and heading towards the food area.
