Qian Meigui arrived on time to work. She noticed the office was busier than usual. Staff members were jogging through the room, holding documents, and the phone rang endlessly. A staff member bumped into her, and the papers fell. It was Yang Minzhe.
Qian Meigui reached down to help him, as he appeared to be in a hurry. "What's going on?" she asked. "The president's announcement will be today," he said.
"Today?" Qian Meigui questioned. She knew that she was the one who suggested Song Ren address the public, but she hoped to have her wait a few more days.
"But we're not prepared," Qian Meigui continued. Yang Minzhe shrugged, "We can only hope for the best."
