When Ji Yang received Tao Guangming's phone call, he hurried to his office.
Upon entering the office, Ji Yang noticed it was shrouded in cigarette smoke; he couldn't tell how many people had been smoking.
On closer inspection, there was only Tao Guangming sitting there.
"Deputy Tao, what's going on here?" Ji Yang was confused.
"Ji Yang, sit down and let's talk."
Tao Guangming, without getting up, gestured for Ji Yang to take a seat.
Ji Yang had no choice but to sit down.
Tao Guangming's gaze lingered on Ji Yang for a while before he slowly said, "Ji Yang, I've been notified that I must return to the country immediately. The organization wants you to temporarily take charge of the work here."
Ah!
Ji Yang looked at the other man, puzzled. This news was truly unexpected.
