A few days ago, we learned that Martin, one of our German business partners, and his wife were vacationing and traveling in China. Although their trip was primarily for personal leisure, our AIYA TAPE team was genuinely delighted to discover they would be passing near our location!
So, we warmly invited Martin and his wife to join us for dinner in Ningbo. This was absolutely not a business meeting – it was simply a reunion of old friends.
Over the meal, we chatted very happily. Our conversation ranged freely: we talked about their interesting travel experiences in China, shared some stories about Ningbo's local cuisine, and fondly reminisced about small moments from our past collaborations (purely as friends recalling memories, with no work pressure at all!). Delicious food, a relaxed atmosphere, and genuine smiles filled the entire evening with laughter and cheerful conversation.
Seeing Martin and his wife so relaxed and happy brought us sincere joy. This dinner went beyond our relationship as business partners; it felt much more like a warm gathering among friends.
As we said goodbye, satisfied smiles lit up everyone's faces. We were so glad that Martin and his wife were enjoying their time in China, and we were especially thrilled to have had the opportunity to spend such a simple yet delightful evening with them! This meal was truly a happy one!
