Stepping out of his black Maybach in front of the Jiangnan International Exhibition Center, Lin Mo opened a wide umbrella over Grandma Chen and Little Guo’er.
A cold autumn drizzle fell across the wide asphalt plaza, where a large red digital banner glowed above the glass facade: The 28th Jiangnan Provincial Traditional Medicinal Herb Expo.
Grandma Chen wore her warm plum jacket, holding Little Guo’er’s small hand. Little Guo’er wore yellow rubber rain boots and a red wool hat, splashing happily through a puddle by the curb.
Dr. Gu Qinghe and Su Wan walked beside Lin Mo, Dr. Gu carrying an antique wooden medicine box. Behind them, Tie Niu and six Taichu security guards escorted a procurement team of twenty young hospital pharmacists.
At the main entrance of Hall A, a tall glass security gate was flanked by two dozen private security guards.
Standing in front of the revolving doors was a middle-aged man in a camel-hair wool overcoat. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and held a fat Cuban cigar between his fingers.
