"..." Qin Muchuan remained silent.
Zhou Ziqing asked with feigned surprise, "Muchuan, you don't actually think I'm in China, do you?"
"You're really not in the country?" Qin Muchuan counter-asked.
"I'll be back in a few days. I'll treat you to dinner to thank you properly," Zhou Ziqing offered her gratitude with a hint of regret in her voice.
"Alright!" Qin Muchuan said no more. His lips pressed tightly together and his posture became decidedly serious and tense.
After the call ended, Su Yueze shook his head and laughed. "Brother, are you talking to a leader? Why are you so stiff, almost like you're in an army parade?"
Qin Muchuan shot him a glance and tersely replied, "Get out!"
"I have something else to discuss with you!"
"Out!"
Su Yueze now became serious, "It's about work!"
Only then did Qin Muchuan's demeanor soften. "Then speak quickly!"
