But Duan Xiaoming obviously didn't think so.
The day after Gao Yuan didn't reply to the message, Duan Xiaoming's call came.
"Director Gao, did you block me?" The voice on the other end had the same tone, with a slight southern accent in Mandarin, neither too fast nor too slow.
"No! Busy, didn't have time to reply," Gao Yuan said.
"Busy with what? So busy you can't even reply to a brother's message?" Duan Xiaoming laughed, "I heard you made quite a splash in New York. The experts at HSS were dumbfounded, and that guy Robert was even your assistant. Director Gao, you're now an internationally renowned expert."
"Nonsense! Robert is my junior."
"I know, Professor Yang's student. I'm also Mr. Yang's student. The three of us are like brothers, but you and Robert are official disciples, and I'm an auditor."
