Tang shrugged his shoulders in innocence, "I am not sure of the reason. This delegation of responsibility is a recent development."
Jia Li looked at him suspiciously while his gaze was caught by the collage of photos at the wall behind her desk. He moved closer to take a look. The photos showcased the step by step growth of the institute, starting from the breaking of ground to the recent celebration of the successful hiring of their first batch of people. Tang seemed fascinated looking at the pictures closely till he reached the one taken on the first day of construction. Jia Li and Wei stood wearing yellow hats and held shovels in their hands. Wei had his arm around her shoulders and they wore happy grins.
Looking at those images, Tang scowled darkly but didn't comment upon it. The room had fallen silent. Chu and Ethan were following his suit to look at the collage while Jia Li stood silently in the centre of the room, lost in her thoughts yet again.
