Le Tong sat for a little while longer, finished a large glass of water, and then dialed the phone, which connected but no one answered for a long time.
Could he be driving and unable to divert his attention to answer the call?
Le Tong finally ordered a few dishes, ate a little herself, and stayed at the restaurant until nearly nine o'clock before packing the leftover dishes and leaving. During this time, she called Zhong Hao twice more, but both calls went unanswered.
Zhong Hao didn't seem to be the kind of man who would shirk responsibility so easily or perform poorly; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the technical director. It's likely that something urgent came up, and he couldn't find the time to answer the phone.
Le Tong was not visibly angry or dissatisfied with Zhong Hao's no-show. She thought it was not worth it to be angry or upset with someone who wasn't even considered a friend.
