"Right, right!" Deputy Director Wei said repeatedly. "I'm so sorry about this!"
He stepped aside with his phone. Tapping the screen, he saw that all the missed calls were indeed from his daughter, Wei Xue.
This made him even more nervous. With slightly trembling hands, he quickly dialed her back.
The call connected after barely a single ring. "Dad!" Xue blurted out, her voice urgent. "You finally called me back!"
"Xue! What happened?" Deputy Director Wei asked, his voice shaking. "Did something happen to your grandmother?"
"Grandma?" Xue asked, confused. "She's perfectly fine at home! What could possibly happen to her?"
Deputy Director Wei exhaled a long sigh of relief. "I thought there was an emergency! Why on earth did you call me so many times if nothing's wrong?"
"I said Grandma was fine, not that I didn't have a reason to call!" she grumbled.
