"Hello, I am Lü Maoshi. The company sent me here on business. May I ask who you are...?" Lü Maoshi asked with a puzzled expression.
The man holding the sign smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Lü, I am Zhou Quan, a military attaché from the Chinese Foreign Ministry stationed in the Soviet Union. Zhao Ye has asked our Foreign Ministry to assist you in completing this mission!"
After speaking, he showed his identification.

“Mr. Lü, you must be tired from your journey. Please check into the hotel and get some rest. The hotel is located near the embassy. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the Soviet Electronics Technology Export Company,” Zhou Quan said with a smile.
