When the old patriarch summoned, Nie Zhenbang did not dare to dismiss it. Over the past two years since he had returned, Nie Zhenbang had been on the committee. The old patriarch put him there when he came in, but he didn't exactly handle it himself. After that, the old patriarch adopted a completely hands-off approach. Whether Nie Zhenbang did well in his work or where he slept, the old patriarch never asked. Even during the Spring Festival in the past two years when the family gathered, the old patriarch never brought it up.
This time, the old patriarch personally called, highlighting the importance of the matter. For ordinary gatherings, he wouldn't need to call himself, he could let his eldest son, Nie Jialei, or his father, Nie Guowei, make the call.
"Zhenbang, has something happened at home? Since Grandpa Nie has called, you should hurry back," Dong Wan said while Nie Zhenbang was on the phone.
