"Can you contact the Chinese government right now?" Ning asked the director.
"You want to talk with them?" the director asked with a confused look on his face. He was unsure if contacting them was a good idea or not.
"Yeah, I just want to speak with them," Ning said.
"Uhh… sure," the director said. "Alright, I'm contacting."
Ning saw the screen light up behind him and turned around. He saw some sort of phone symbol on the screen, noting that the call was being made.
Ning arrived at the center of the room and stood directly in front of the camera. The video conference call was accepted on the other side by someone who seemed like they were expecting to get such a high-level call.
"So you called back? Hmm… are you the one called Ning Ruogong?" the old, white-haired man on the screen spoke as soon as he saw Ning.
"And who might you be?" Ning asked.
