In the hall, there was a large round table, with Bai Xiaosheng and three others seated around it, each occupying a side.
The reason for not using a European-style long table was specific.
With a long table, Bai Xiaosheng, as the host, would have to sit at the head, making it seem as if he was above the other three.
If it was merely dining, it would be fine, but discussing interests over dinner would be highly inappropriate.
It would make Bai Xiaosheng appear as a moderator, invisibly placing himself opposite the other three.
If the other three were seated on the left and right, it would look asymmetrical and feel confrontational.
This round table, however, was different. Everyone sat on equal footing, without hierarchy, looking and feeling more comfortable.
For Bai Xiaosheng's attention to such details, Hogson and Anlos nodded silently in approval, and even Brady had nothing to say.
