Director Feng's office
Only after Sun Su went out did Feng Yuanlin talk to Qi Zhenbai.
"Your health is in such a state, yet you took a trip to Fuzhou?" Feng Yuanlin asked somewhat in reproach and disapproval. "Was Grandpa Qi at ease? Even your brothers and sisters too? Besides, what the hell is there here that's worth the trip? You could have just made a phone call and sent someone along and I'd have gotten it done for you."
Qi Zhenbai pulled out the handkerchief on his left chest, folded it neatly, covered his lips, and coughed twice, tugging at his diamond-shaped thin lips, his voice clear and low, "It's precisely because they've been worried and treating me like a fragile piece of porcelain all day that I came out for a breath of fresh air."
