Ye Manman had never used a telephone before, and she found herself a bit intrigued when she first saw the old-fashioned landline.
With the teacher manning the telephone room giving her a hint, she managed to dial the number successfully.
The call connected quickly.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, could you please find Jiang Yuan at xx Street xx Number for me?"
The postal and telecommunication bureau is specifically responsible for communication, and their town hasn't installed public telephones yet. Only the bureau and some large units have phones, and even though calling is convenient, most people still opt to write letters.
This is because phone calls are incredibly expensive and not worth it.
An intra-city call costs twenty cents a minute, and long-distance calls are even more, so the telephone room at the town's bureau usually has few people making calls.
But because of this, the staff at the bureau work efficiently, and they quickly summoned Jiang Yuan.
