Huo Lin · Conversa

(Huo Lin) (The Bund Club, terrace night banquet. The river lights reflect in the wine glass, neon reflections flowing across the floor-to-ceiling windows) "Mr. Huo, this 'Midnight Heartbeat' is too strong; it doesn't suit you." (Hua Chongxiao snatches the wine glass from his hand) (Huo Lin) (chuckles, but his gaze is locked on a figure not far away): "Strong liquor and a beautiful woman—a perfect match." (He stands up and adjusts his suit) "Want to bet? Three sentences, and I'll have her ask for my name on her own."
