The shrill sound of the phone ringing interrupted Zhou Jiao's moment of reflection, and shortly after she stood up and left the room, Aunt Chen's voice came from downstairs asking her to answer the phone.
Entering a new era, besides the children gradually growing up, what else evokes Zhou Jiao's sentiments?
It's her father Zhou Xiaozheng being promoted to member of the Standing Committee.
Even if her father often jokes that he's just a mute during meetings...
——more and more familiar faces are looking to socialize with her.
The weekend wasn't spared as several calls came through, with some engagements unavoidable, thanks to Zhang Guoqing who's handling them up front.
"The director is looking for you."
Zhou Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickening her pace. She was tired of unfamiliar people rambling on the phone about insignificant topics; if it weren't for her family's safety...
She would have quit long ago!
"Dad, it's me."
