Meanwhile, Sun Gang arrived at his grandfather's residence, finding the patriarch seated tranquilly with tea in the living room.
"Ah, Sun Gang!" his grandfather greeted warmly. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"What, I need a reason to visit my honored grandfather now?" Sun Gang replied, attempting levity.
But the elder saw through it. "You've been distant lately, my boy. I was beginning to think you no longer cared about this old man."
Sun Gang hastily reassured, "Of course I still care! How could I not, you're my grandfather!"
Yet his grandfather knew better. Setting down his tea, the observant elder said "Sun Gang, I've watched you grow since boyhood. Now tell me truthfully - why are you here?"
"Actually, I came to seek your counsel on a business matter," Sun Gang revealed.
His grandfather looked concerned. "Is everything alright with the company, my boy?"
