Tang Xian didn't intentionally mean to tease or leave any suspense.
He just felt it was more natural to let the other party call him, rather than calling himself?
Shortly after sending out the text, he did not receive a reply, so he lay down for a little nap. Not long after, the vibration of his cell phone woke him up.
He glanced at the incoming call number, realized it wasn't from Ke, but answered it anyway.
"Sir, I'm with Atlantic Life Insurance, and we have a new insurance product…"
Advertising. Sales pitch.
Tang Xian didn't feel averse and said,
"Young man, whatever Atlantic is paying you, I, An Ping, will pay you three times that."
"…"
Tang Xian's nonsensical reply rendered the person on the other end speechless.
Waiting for Ke to finish analyzing the new alloy composition would probably take a little while, so to kill time, Tang Xian decided to register for a WeChat account.
