"Something came up at home today, so I'm really sorry I can't entertain you all. Please go home now, and I'll treat you all to a meal another day to make up for it with a lively celebration."
He leaned closer to Section Chief Liu and lowered his voice.
"Commander, my family brought some fine cigarettes and tea from Beijing. It's just a small token of our appreciation, and we'll deliver it to you tomorrow. Please take your wife home first. It's so late, we're really troubling you."
