After dialing the number, a mechanical female voice came through, "Hello, welcome to M Country Mobile, for service XX press 1, for service XX press 2, for service XX press 3..."
Wen Jiaren raised her eyebrows in confusion and hung up the phone. She checked the number again—no mistake, it was Mu Qian's number.
She dialed again and yet again, the mechanical service voice answered. When she heard "for operator assistance press 0," she pressed 0 without hesitation, and the voice promptly replied, "Transferring your call, please hold."
Is this necessary?
A few seconds of music played, followed again by, "Transferring your call, please hold."
After several repetitions, suddenly it said, "We apologize, due to the high volume of inquiries... If you still need operator assistance press 0, to return to the menu press the * key."
Wen Jiaren was speechless and pressed 0 again.
