Gu Yusheng seemed to be surprised at hearing this. He first paused in shock, then turned to look at the mobile phone in his hand, as if wondering if he had misheard. He finally spoke again after a while and replied with an emotionless "Mm" to express his acknowledgement.

Gu Yusheng held the phone to his ear for a long while before he finally put it down onto his desk and resumed working as if nothing had happened.
