Chapter 18: The Toast
The soup was clear and hot, with a single mushroom floating in it, and Han Zhiyuan did not leave after it.
Tong Yu noticed, because he had written down in three years of notebooks that the chief always did.
He sat at the head table on Han's right, in a borrowed dark suit that was slightly too big in the shoulders.
A white cloth lay on his knees, and his hands were pressed flat under it.
Beyond the white cloth lay three hundred people in dark suits and silk, and the sound of them filled the room.
Han ate his soup with a spoon in his left hand.
He ate all of it, slowly, and set the spoon down straight.
"You have not left," Tong Yu murmured.
"No."
"Are you all right?"
"I am more frightened than I have been since I was twenty-eight," said Han, quite calmly. "I am also, for the first time, hungry."
On the other side of the table, Deputy Director Lu sat with a glass of tea in front of him.
