Nie Zhenbang wore an apologetic expression. At a time like this, it surely seemed impolite to answer a phone call during a private dinner at the old secretary's house. However, He Dingbang smiled amiably and empathetically at the moment, "Mayor Nie, you have a lot on your plate. Don't let an old man like me hold you back from your work."
Nie Zhenbang glanced at the caller ID on his phone - it was a call from Yi Jun. Knowing Yi Jun's character, Nie Zhenbang was certain that unless circumstances were extraordinarily unusual, Yi Jun wouldn't disturb him during his dinner with He Dingbang.
