Meanwhile, in a government complex in Jiangnan Province, a decrepit old man in his fifties or sixties was looking through a report when his private cell phone suddenly rang. The caller ID prominently displayed the name "Elder Chief Xiao," which surprised him.
Why would Elder Chief Xiao personally call him? Has something happened?
While he wondered this, he didn't dwell on it, quickly pressing the answer button. He spoke respectfully, "Hello, Elder Chief. This is Hee Zhengqin. May I ask…" It was clear the old man was none other than Hee Zhengqin.
"Ah, Zhengqin, it's been a long time. Is your work going smoothly lately?" came the aged voice of Elder Mr. Xiao from the phone.
"Thanks to your blessing, Elder Chief, my work has been quite smooth lately…" Hee Zhengqin was clearly startled, not understanding the intention behind Elder Mr. Xiao's words.
