"Alright, everyone please take a seat. Has everyone almost arrived?" Ding Yue made his way to the center of the hall, checked the seating at various tables, which were mostly full, save for a few empty spots that might belong to those who hadn't arrived yet.
Everyone was sitting at their tables, with a lavish array of dishes laid out before them. There were spicy Sichuan cuisine dishes, Buddha's Temptation, and a variety of delicacies from different culinary traditions—a feast for the taste buds indeed.
At their sides were either their close friends or girlfriends, and in that moment, each of them had smiles on their faces.
"Tonight, we all gather here together, and I believe it's probably the first time we've all done so in the many years we've been working on the photolithography machine experiment project,"
Ding Yue said to the crowd with a smile.
