As Mr. Tai was speaking, the back door of the courtyard in front was pushed open, and Manager Min actually came out.
Old Master Tai was surprised. He looked around and laughed, "Oh, I was so busy that I ended up so close to the dim sum shop!"
Manager Min also stepped forward quickly and responded, "Old man, you're really something. Why didn't you tell me you were coming here? If it weren't for the sharp eyes of the young man, I wouldn't have known!"
